Mega Man Maverick Hunter X (Capcom - PSP - 2005)
15ending the SNES 2022 plays with the PSP revamp of Mega Man X. I've beaten MMX a ton of times already so I figured I would check this version out finally. anyways, Dreamcast stuff for the rest of the month coming up after this!
"Mega Man Maverick Hunter X is an action-platforming video game developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation Portable (PSP); it is a remake of the 1993 video game Mega Man X originally released for the Super NES, the first game in the series of the same name; in the game, players control X as he attempts to stop Sigma from leading the human race to extinction. It was first released in Japan on December 15, 2005, followed by a North American release on January 31, 2006.
Development began with Keiji Inafune discussing with his development team about whether they should make a Mega Man X9 or a remake of the first game for the PSP, with them deciding on a remake due to wanting to take advantage of the new hardware. Due to being on newer hardware, Maverick Hunter X features full 3D graphics instead of the 2D graphics used in the 1993 original, alongside other improvements and extra features.
Players choose either X or Vile at the start, both of which have their own campaign; X controls similarly to how he did in the original, while Vile has the ability to hover for a short time period. Upon completing the intro level, players can choose one of eight Mavericks to fight. Beating a Maverick will unlock their ability to use as long as X still has weapon energy, using certain abilities on Mavericks will cause them to take more damage than usual. When all eight Mavericks are defeated, Sigma is unlocked as the final boss of the game. Hidden throughout several levels are Dr. Light capsules, which include armor parts that give X additional buffs; in Maverick Hunter X, the position and stages these capsules were in are changed.
After completing the game, a 25-minute anime by Xebec titled The Day of Σ is unlocked; the anime details the events leading up to the first stage, which includes Sigma turning Maverick."
