Hey! Thanks for checking out today's video! What are your thoughts on Mega Man X iOS? Let me know in the comments!

[Arcadn]

This mobile version was my first ever mega man game. I actually completed the game as a kid, which I did not do for every game let me tell you! It was actually a bit of a shock to me to learn how bad this game was years later 😅

2:19 I always imagined those filters were supposed to make the game look more like the artwork and I kind of like it

[succo]

It's so funny to think that playing Megaman X on a mobile emulator is better than in an official mobile release

[cronoesify]

For what it's worth, the sprites seem to be actually redrawn, not filtered.

What makes it look bad is that it's missing *loads* of animation frames that make it look stilted and way more like a 2004 flash based game.

[PowerGuygg]

HOLY CRAP the intro had me malding TWICE 😂 glad I stuck around because the video turned out to be very good!

[musictorin]

I actually liked the hand-drawn recreations of the original sprites, but hated that they weren't updated to at least 30FPS with extra sprites to smooth out the animations. For me, I'd consider that to be the definitive style for a remake since MHX looks pretty blocky nowadays.

[SilkyPsilocybin]

I just wanna say THANKKK for shining light on this god damn crappy app. I played for a solid week and ultimately was like “Why did it have to come to this?”

[WolfBitOdyssey]

Finally, someone spoke up. Capcom was really phoning it in on these when they made them. A cheap imitation, evidently. I like this video. Very on point. Very in the nose. Well written. Well edited. Well executed. It’s good you didn’t stick to one tangent which would have ruined the steady pace. Now I know not to waste my money on these.

[ErnestJay]

Seriously, Megaman X on iOs/Android looks like a something that 13 years old flash game made for newgrounds

[masteralbert]

I remember buying the ios version thinking it would be good but I guess not, I got Mega Man X Legacy Collection on the switch back in like June or July to play Mega Man X and it was much better than the ios version

[BlastoiseMaster]

This was my first Mega Man game ever and I really enjoyed it when I played, despite not being good at the game, but I still managed to beat it. After going back to it recently, I’ve been able to see all of it’s shortcomings and has made me want to play the original version of the game.

[AvalancheReviews]

I saw the uneven scaling as soon as the footage started and I was all like "I bet he's not gonna mention it". You've earned a sub by proving me wrong.

[Garrulous]

Dang, I almost like the art style, but it does look a little too Flash Gamey

[SeriousGamingSG]

I love to think the Megaman X Maverick Hunter X is basically Megaman Powered up with the Variable "X" added after the word "Megaman"

[KiExx]

So quick tip about the controls: you can tap one button and hold it on the screen to keep it in effect, and then slide your finger to a different button to perform that action as well. For example, to dash-jump, you would press the dash button, and then slide your finger to the jump button while keeping your finger on the screen.

[darksonicyt]

The only positive I can say about the IOS version, is that it introduced me to the X series when I was young. Other than that?
I would say burn it but it’s an app so....



*Erase it*

[Eldoofus]

I knew the first one was bait, but you really got me with the MHX fake-out... I commend you for your shenanigans.

[Zx]

My feelings at the start.

"How dare you talk about MMX SNES that way. Oh...ok you got me".
"HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT MMX PSP THAT WAY..oh...damn it you got me again."

[RosyTheRed]

2:20 The "low frame rate" is also joined with the fact that some frames of the SNES version are just gone for some reason.
