Review Mega Man X (New 3DS / SNES)
Mega Xcitement
The Mega Man games provided people with enjoyable action-platforming and Capcom was happy to keep producing more and more of them to be purchased and played. 1993 (at least in Japan) saw the release of the sixth NES game in the series, but also the start of something new. Following Virtual Console releases (and a compilation) of the...
Review Mega Man X (Wii U eShop / SNES)
Marks the spot
By the time Mega Man X was released for the SNES, gamers and critics were already expressing concern about the classic series feeling stale. Mega Man had become formulaic and predictable, and while the NES games were still a lot of fun, there was no denying that they didn't evolve much from title to title. Mega Man X felt like a firm...
Review Mega Man X (Wii Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
X-ceptional
Spinoffs in popular franchises have delivered historically mixed results over the years, but when Capcom spun the X series off of Mega Man, not only did they create a new line every bit as intense and engaging as the originals, but arguably even more polished and fun to a certain degree. And now, after a rather lengthy wait, Capcom have...

Art This Guy Has An Insane Amount Of Original Western Mega Man Cover Artwork
Boxing clever
This promotional image for Game Players Magazine unites two of Greg Winters' cover subjects - he also did some covers for Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog While it can't always be said that western cover artwork is superior to that seen in Japan, it's important to remember that for many gamers growing up during the 8 and 16-bit eras, it was...

It's coming out in the US today!
@TwilightV Good spot! The clue is we only created the game page today
@James: Yeah, I noticed you had the release date up immediately after making the post.
Buying it today, when I get home from work!
I'm going home on my lunch break (here in a few mins) to download. Can't.friggin.wait.
Does Megaman X still have the insane difficulty of the NES versions? I would love to get into the series, but I feel alienated because all the NES Megaman games are just too freakking hard. And this is coming from a guy who has beaten most of the Mario platformers.
Megaman 1, 2, 3 for NES are so tough I can't even beat them with Game Genie codes
@StarDust I dont believe you that you can beat the NES Mario's but not the NES Mega Mans.
My favorite Mega Man game of all time.
Want to save points for when La Mulana comes out but...GAH I CAN'T RESIST. BUYING MMX NOW!
FINALLY!!!
@Ryno: FYI, Super Mario Brothers 2 & 3 are the only Mario Platformers that I haven't legitimately beaten. That and Lost Levels.
Mario 1, Super Mario World, Super Mario Land (GB), Mario 64, Sunshine, Mario 64 DS (100%), New Mario Brothers DS, Galaxy, New Mario Brothers Wii, and Galaxy 2. For M64, Sunshine, and Galaxy, I earned 100+ stars. I've also beaten all three Paper Marios as well, with 100% badges earned on the N64 one.
This game is the ****.
One of the best Mega Man...scrap that, one of the best action games I've ever played. Too bad I already have MMX Collection, otherwise I'd buy this without hesitation.
Which game is the page banner from?
Best. Megaman game. EVER.
Which game is the page banner from?
It's Sting Chameleon's stage.
@BassX0 - before the banner was changed to what it is now, it was the Japanese version Rock Man X's box art, and that's why he had asked before
If you already own a PS2, you'd be better off getting the Mega Man X Collection, which even has the Playstation version of Mega Man X3!
It also has a fun Maio Kart style Mega Man racing game!
This game is great but like TheMagicEmperor said you are kinda better off getting the x collection but remember that collection is rare so its really hard to find and trust me i took me a good while to find it.
@vegeta217 http://www.amazon.com/Mega-Man-X-Collection-Playstation-2/dp/B0009XBWY6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338782533&sr=8-1 Gee that was tough
My first Megaman game. Too easy to Master. The game itself I had rented "Mario's Time Machine" to impress my father, while he said "Get something fun" and we went back and got MMX. It was soo cooee playing this on the projector or an big 50" Trinitron tv. Those were the days
MMX Collection on the PS2/GCN sucks period. The game is not properly emulated. The same with the Saturn version of MMX3.
Big waste of time then not to get the SNES original or the void of the internet.
There is also an bunch of clones for the Mega Drive, NES, and Gameboy.
@StarDust4Ever quit crying about that and just play the game fair and square. You know what is funny about MM2 is the Kamen Rider ending with Willlys 70's Space age room. Runniest thing I have ever seen.
I love the Storm Eagle theme
