Mega Man X Arrives For iPhone Devices, Fanboys Rejoice
Capcom provided their fans with a treat on Thursday when they officially launched Mega Man X for iPhone and iPod Touh devices. Made popular on NES, Super NES and Game Boy systems the new game is a bit expensive at $4.99 but users have for the most part left positive reviews about the game, providing it with 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Available for immediate download from the iTunes App Store the game provides users with 60 different levels following a 20 level opening “Story Mode” campaign.
The iPhone application also features Game Center support
The only big complaint from some users have been the games controls which have been called clunky. Several users have also said the load times between levels is a bit strange for a modern day device offering.
One feature offered by the game that wasn’t offered in the original is the ability to buy certain products via in-app purchases. For example users can buy full armor for $1.99 or add all health boosts for $0.99.
On a personal note even if the game isn’t perfect, it’s still Mega Man X on a Smartphone and I for one will be downloading the game tonight and will probably play through each level until my eyes are bloodshot and my hands are shaky.
