A playthrough of Capcom's 1993 Super Nintendo run-and-gun platform game, Mega Man X.
Capcom's seminal 16-bit Mega Man debut kicked off a brand new series with an edge and style that we hadn't yet dared dream of when it first came out. It was unquestionably an evolution of the classic Mega Man as we knew and loved him, but everything felt new and fresh again. The darker story, the edgier, meticulously detailed sprites, the amazing synth rock soundtrack, and the bevy of power upgrades introduced fit together so impossibly well that it was clear it was a classic the day it launched. It also marks the first appearance of Zero and Sigma, and Wily is nowhere to be found!
MMX was universally praised, and somehow seems to be even more popular now than it ever was in the early 90s. Many would argue that the series never again hit the heights that Capcom achieved here the first time out, and I'd be inclined to agree. The X series features some fantastic titles, but I don't think any of them ever quite nailed it as soundly as the first. X4 was close (imo, for what it's worth), but what Inafune and co. crammed into the tiny 12megabit rom in this cart is nothing short of miraculous.
I played this when I was young, but then who didn't that had access to an SNES? This is not the same version I'm most familiar with, though. We rented the SNES cart many times, and I borrowed it from friends, but I didn't get my own copy until the PC version was released, and I played it to death. It's not quite the same, but it's close :) Still, nothing beats the original, and this is still as good a game today as the hype from 23 years ago promised it would be back then. Quite an achievement, I'd say.

After replaying this game a few times, I think Capcom was trying to give the allusion of Mega Man growing up. In the classic games he's like a kid. In the Mega Man X games he's more like an adult. He's stronger and can do more, just like adults in real life. He no longer lives in Dr. Light's lab. He doesn't even live with Dr. Cain (at least I don't think so). He has no dog, or sister, or any friends, except Zero who's also an adult. It's like that in real life. After you get out of high school people go their separate ways and move out of their parents house. That's what X is. He's grown up and moved out of his fathers care. Dr. Light does talk to him, but only through a capsule, like a father talking to their adult son on the telephone. Capcom knew that children grow up and wanted a more suitable story for the aging fan base. Classic Mega Man is like a PG movie. X is like a PG-13, or R movie. Very smart decision by Capcom.

At this point in the story, Dr Light is long dead, and Mega Man, Rush, Beat, Tango (from the GB Mega Man V), Eddie (Fliptop), Auto, and Roll are who knows where.

If I had to single out the best Mega Man game ever made, this is it. It has the right amount of challenge to it, incredible graphics that just refuse to age, the gameplay and controls are perfectly fluent, and the music is just phenomenal. 1:05:37. It melts my heart to see you Hadouken Vile, the one enemy in the game I'm so glad to see meet his end. The fact that you have to deliberately lose to him twice to progress in the game his his demise all that much sweeter. Hey Vile, HADOOOOUKEN!

Mega Man X was announced in North America in a March 1993 Game Players magazine interview with Capcom's Senior Vice President Joseph Morici. The tentatively titled "Super Mega Man" was originally to have a "fairly large memory configuration and a battery backup". The autumn 1993 issue of Club Capcom announced Rockman X for a December 1993 release in Japan, divulged several plot and gameplay details, and showed Zero as a silhouetted "Blues-like character". Leading up to its release, the game was covered by the North American press surrounding the summer 1993 and winter 1994 Consumer Electronics Shows.

Bloodreign1 Yes exactly. X was built to surpass Classic Mega Man. He isn’t naive like Classic Mega Man, plus I mean look at what X can do that Classic Mega Man can’t do. I did find it weird at the beginning that it said he wasn’t supposed to harm humans, possessed human cognitive thought. Except Classic Mega Man already had that in him, it’s just he almost went over that “harm humans” part in Mega Man 7 when he defeated Wily and was considering killing him. I did look up on the Wiki that Zero was created by Wily, but is an ally to X. Zero does get patched up obvious seeing in the future Mega Man X games.

Here's a good question about the messages in the power up capsules. In Mega Man X 1 - 4 or 5, it seems like the messages were pre-recorded by Dr. Light. But in the remaining games (6 - 9 ) we see the hologram actually interacting with the characters. In those later capsules, was Dr. Light using a AI program to do that, or was he able to transfer his consciousness into the computer powering those capsules, because that's what it looks like to me.
