Mega Man X (Mobile)

Mega Man X is a 1993 action-platform video game developed and published by Capcom. Originally released for the Super Nintendo, the game was ported to MS-DOS and received a remake for the PlayStation Portable titled Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X in 2006; however, this page will cover the iOS and Android versions released in 2011.

Why This Port Should Be X-terminated

 * 1) The intro detailing the plot is heavily simplified and downgraded compared to the original.
 * 2) The screen is very zoomed in if you choose the full screen option, making it much harder to see what's around you.
 * 3) While the sprites have been redrawn, the backgrounds and stage are upscaled SNES assets and they clash with the new sprites.
 * 4) Some graphical effects and background objects have been removed entirely.
 * 5) Many frames of animation are missing and the frame-rate is much lower than the original game.
 * 6) There are transition screens between sections of the level, and they prevent you from backtracking after you cross them - so if there's upgrade or item you want to get that was in the previous section, you have to restart the entire stage just to find the item you missed.
 * 7) Awkward touch controls; dashing is especially annoying as have you to have to tap down on the D-pad by default, which can make you dash into a bottomless pit instead of climbing down a ladder (even toggling the option to auto-cling to ladders doesn't stop the dash from sending you to your doom).
 * 8) X behaves strangely when doing wall jumps; he will cling to a wall even when you let go of the D-pad, and when he jumps he doesn't ricochet off the wall, but instead jumps straight up as if he jumped from the floor.
 * 9) The boss fights range from being a cakewalk to much harder than in the original game due to the gameplay changes and low frame-rate.
 * 10) The environmental changes have been completely removed.
 * 11) Nowadays, you can get the far better SNES original on the go via the New Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console or the Nintendo Switch via Mega Man X Legacy Collection or even emulate either that or Maverick Hunter X on phones, making these ports pointless by today's standards.
 * 12) * Not helping is the fact that in Android's case it was only released in Japan,and the gamers (outside of Japan) can only get it,via piracy.
