Mega Man X: Viral Nightmare

Overview

A reimagined take on the most notorious X game that aims to be a love letter to the original game that expands on its original concepts and introduces many new ones to make a new experience that doesn’t simply replace the original.

Key Differences:

* It’s now widescreen. Enemies appear on screen faster and you get to see more of the level at once, no longer feeling cramped.

* New level design and concepts. X6 is a very dramatic game with polarising gimmicks that have now been fully expanded with more refined ideas and plenty of surprises.

* Armour parts are now equipped piece by piece and have new multi-purpose abilities. Armour pieces can be mixed and matched like in X8.

* Parts and reploid system overhaul. Reploids don’t hold parts, instead they give you nightmare souls which are used as currency to buy parts.

* Parts are now unlocked after defeating bosses. The player’s rank now determines how many parts can be equipped at once. You increase your rank by saving reploids.

* Brand new content such as new parts and redone special weapons to make sure they all have a utility and purpose in X’s arsenal.
