Mega Man X Blasts Onto iPhone
Capcom's blue bomber invades Apple's platform for a bargain-friendly price.
If you want to relive the thrilling stages of the SNES smash hit Mega Man X on your iPhone or iPod Touch, head to the App Store today. For $4.99, players can take on Sigma and his robot army in this remake that features an on-screen visual control pad, graphics optimized for the Retina display, iOS-only cheat codes, and two different difficulty levels. As you can see in the screenshots below, the graphics are slightly more cartoonish than the original version, but it looks sharp nonetheless.
Mega Man X is compatible with Game Center as well, including 80 challenges, achievements, and leaderboards. Let's hope it fares better on iOS than the frustratingly difficult Mega Man II did.
