If you’ve been keeping tabs on Capcom’s mobile offerings, you’ll know they haven’t released many Mega Man titles. The only Mega Man game that has made it to the App Store was Mega Man II, and it was a ho-hum offering at best. Now, Capcom has released another Mega Man title onto the iOS platform, and this time, it’s arguably one of the greatest Mega Man titles for the 16-bit era, Mega Man X.
Mega Man X for iPhone stars X, who happens to be the final creation of Dr. Light, as he fights a number of reploid robots to stop Sigma from destroying the human race. The game features graphics that have been optimized for the Retina Display, includes difficulty options, online rankings, and more. You’ll also be able to play the game in its regular format or full screen mode and you’ll also be able to activate a number of iOS-only cheats such as auto-fire, auto-charge, and auto-ladder latch-on, which could be very useful for those of you who never learned how to climb a ladder before. Capcom has also included 80 challenges that can be achieved during the game’s Story Mode.
Mega Man X is currently available for $4.99 on the App Store and should definitely be checked out if you’re a fan of the Mega Man series. Let’s just hope Capcom decides to deliver more Mega Man goodness onto mobile platforms. *cough* Mega Man 9 *cough*
