This looks freaking terrible.
And this is honestly why I can never see the iOS as a legit gaming medium. Maybe for casual time killers, sure. But not for anything truly serious.

Wow. Those challenges are even worse than "participation trophies" we have to give kids nowadays to make them feel better.
Besides that, the graphics don't look horrendous in motion, but any other criticisms you could come up with would pale in comparison to the controls.

Also, now I fear the day when console/PC games start having huge facebook/twitter buttons plastered in the main menu and throughout the game. It's gonna happen and there's nothing you can do to stop the horror.
Capcom has been doing some incredible trolling with Megaman this year. Seriously the things they've done this year, you can't make them up. First they canceled Mega Man Universe. Then they got fans heavily involved in Legends, and then canceled it. They denied him a slot in UMVC 3, and then they released him as a payed alternate skin to zero, and now this.
I won't buy any ios game with in-app purchases for things that can be gotten in the game by actually playing the game, or added into a game that never had them to begin with, like this. I do it out of principal. I despise where the industry is headed. I despise publishers for not thinking things through, and how they are going to be pushing people away, not making new gamers.
I despise the industry when I think where we might be in 10 years. All digital games, no retail copies. Publisher controlled prices that will rarely see price drops since the middle man like EB Games won't be able to control pricing anymore. Completely overpriced games, DLC, the works now that publishers will control pricing.
Short, gutted games with a ton of DLC that will end up costing you double what you pay today in order to have the full game. Online passes that no longer block out multiplayer content only, but also lock out single player content for those few games still at retail. I could go on and on. You know it will happen. Just look at what has been happening over this current generation.
If I had told you during the PS2 era that you would be paying more for shorter games, and being forced to pay $15 for DLC packs if you want the full experience, would you have believed me? If I had told you that publishers were locking out multiplayer and single player content if you rent a game or buy it used, would you have believed me? If I had told you that digital versions of retail games would cost the same, and often MORE than the cost of the retail version, would you have believed me?

Capcom have resuscitated Mega man, is that case, X, to only make everyone want the blue guy to die again D:
One question, did the IOS realy need so many end screens? (sorry people, i can´t find anywhere the name of this).

The graphics don't look quite as awful as i thought they would, but they are still pretty bad.
Mega Man isn't dead, but if things keep going like this, I bet a lot of us will be wishing he was.

Ok, so the visuals are redrawn, but is it me or does the actual animation look worse than what's on the SNES version? Also, there was a cool 3D remake of X on the PSP a few years back. Why not port that?
I just played through Mega Man X the other day and this hurts really bad. Breaking the level into sections kills the flow of the game, cutting off the top of the screen gives a feeling of claustrophobia and seeing how he kept getting cars dropped on his head I have no idea how you could deal with levels like Boomer Kuwanger's that have a lot of vertical elements.
And their is a challenge to do 10 wall jumps in a single level? I'm likely to do over 100 on a single boss fight. Either the challenges are incredibly lame, or wall jumping is much harder in this game which would be the big final nail in this games coffin.

Why is Capcom treating one of their greatest franchises with such irreverence? Did Inafune's departure make way for all this nonsense? This sort of behavior seems akin to the really weird decisions like Tekken X Street Fighter & Street Fighter X Tekken though.
Holy shit ... That menu and that font ... is just so unprofessional looking... Like someone made it in Photoshop ... Not to mention the horrible redrawn version ... This is why I don't play games on IOS devices...
Oh this is the big comeback project Capcom had for Megaman. I heard about this when they were saying it was a cherished brand. Cool.
Bought it.
Beat it.
Megaman X is still a fucking shitty game.
Where's Battle Network online, Capcom?

Reason why this port exists?
It's harder to add monetization options to a SNES/PSP port...
Megaman X was one of my all time favorite games growing up, and Maverick Hunter X brought me back to a story I knew all too well, and grew up and loved as a kid. This is an open handed slap to the face, but really, did anyone not see that coming from Capcom, especially in this generation?

It looks like all they did was apply an snes9x filter and provide some game genie codes... that you pay for.

Discounting the entirety of iOS gaming due to some shitty, cash-grab ports (from a company known for making shitty, cash-grab ports) is no better than saying the Wii is worthless because some companies make shovelware for it.
There's plenty of good gaming to be found on any console, you just sometimes have to look a little harder.

See? I fucking knew someone was going to do this shit one day. Of course its capcom.
Fucking hilarious.
Fucking hilarious.
...Wow. This reminds me of Super Mario Bros. Special on the PC88.
So... It's Capcom vs Activision vs EA in a dull on Deathatch battle to see who is the most shitty...
you didn't even mention the 'My First Klik-and-Play Game And IDK How To Change Fonts' use of Arial just like the CT iPhone version...
I really don't see how they managed to do this. I didn't think it would be that hard to port a single SNES game to an iOS device, but man, did whoever is doing this prove me wrong. @sewerraccoon, that's exactly what I was thinking. The walkers that come out of the bee helicopter have clumsy animations as well as Vile's mech suit. Hell, I don't even care that they re-drew the portraits to reflect the art style later in the X series, they at least could have not failed so hard with the animations.
There is no defending Capcom this time, they literally FUCKED Mega Man X. I haven't even played Mega Man X, but this looks nothing like the one I know. Paying for health upgrades and weapons? That's just criminal.
Capcom is honestly just stomping on the blue bomber's grave at this point.
