Hey everyone! This one was a huge task! I researched and scripted for about 2 months before capturing footage and even starting the edit. The editing took me over 100 hours! I'm crazy, but i wanted to do the game justice! If you enjoyed this video PLEASE share it with others on FB and twitter! After spending so much time on it I just want everybody to see it! Thank you so very much!!!

Wow, I never realized that the power outages were a result of defeating Storm Eagle. Amazing details.

[SystemSyko]

This game is truly a masterpiece. Im glad i was able to experience it day one back in 93'.

[jiggab]

You can tell how much heart you put into this, and how sincere you were about Megaman X. You don't see that in a lot of content these days. Awesome man!

[armyofninjas]

Adored this game. The art style. The gameplay. The tight controls. The fact that the hadoken was REAL. Dope. Epic. Perfect.

Also, the interconnectivity of levels isn't just for feel. In sting chameleons stage, if you didn't flood the level, you couldn't reach the power up. It encouraged replayability of levels you may have already beaten. Expands the game and experience.

[randerins]

Still my fav game of all time. I have a history with this game and it made me feel like I never did for another one.

Great video, one thing: the hadoken requires five visits to Armadillo's stage where you collect the power up at the very end, but you don't have to die. The counter is activated by the last power up after you find all the collectibles, then just exit out. Thanks for sharing! :)

I just discovered your channel, and I have NEVER seen such thorough, impassioned reviews of the NES and SNES games I grew up with! These are amazing! 🖖😀

[MichaelBtheGameGenie]

was incredible. I have actually always been down on the x series compared to original but I think you may have just changed my mind and I’ll be playing Mega Man X tonight because of you

[Stonedar]

I'm so glad you're back on youtube. You are one of my favorite youtubers. Your videos are really informative and super well done and edited. I'm already looking forward to the next video. I get really happy every time a new nescomplex video appears in my youtube feed 😄

This retrospective was pure joy to watch! Mega Man X is truly a masterpiece and I appreciate your analysis of all that it offers. The Archie Mega Man comic is amazing, and I am happy that you showed stuff from that as well!

[TheReNesance]

Just watching this twice in a row. Wow, man.. so, so well put together, and many of us know how much work and love goes into a video of this magnitude. Well, it paid off.. this is your best episode so far! I've always met this game with a bit of a shrug, as I grew up with the NES titles and not this one.. but I never realized how deep this game goes, so thanks for making me want to play this again! Also, bravo for using the word "kelp" in a retrospective :)

[SB-tven]

I played this when I was 4 years old. Thank you for this tribute to a game I truly love and will never forget.

[DevilDaz]

Wow! What a masterpiece of a video! This is the greatest review I've ever seen, tuned to the finest detail, just like the game itself.

[Nick_Slavik]

Mega Man 2 was the 1st game I've played on the NES and Mega Man X was the 1st SNES game I've ever played. This franchise holds a very special place in my heart. Thank you for this review, you brought back so many nostalgic feelings!!! :)

[GreenSoap]

Love that you're making videos again, one of my favorite YouTube channels (:

[MadPanicGaming]

Definitely one of my all-time favorite games. The perfect action platformer.

[NefariousWes]

Love the Mega Man X transition screen that you made. And I know how tedious cutting stuff out is in Photoshop, and then arranging it all within the video. And the little subtle things that you do, like the way you add a slight "shake" to the photos that you whisk in. I know how tedious that sort of thing is too, but hey, it's not going unnoticed. Very much appreciated.

I played this one as a teenager, but for whatever reason I just couldn't get into it as much as the 8-bit Mega Mans, and I ended up trading it. Funny thing is that the music still gets randomly stuck in my head out of nowhere at times -- the tone reminds me a lot of Breath of Fire. I did play it again when the Mega Man X collection came out for PS2, but that was the last time. I'm gonna pick it up again. Great video, Chris!

This is what our gamer community needs! games like Mega Man X is a piece of art and it must be known!

I’ve played this game regularly for over 20 years. I love speed running it. I’m no where near the world record holder my best at 56 minutes I’m pretty happy with. The replayability of this game is unlike any other. It’s fantastic
