Nearly 20 years old but still looking as fresh as it did back then Mega Man X sees a new Mega Man robot take the stage, namely X. He has many more abilities than the original including a dash, being able to scale walls and there are RPG elements that allow you to use special moves through armour attachments. At the time of its release reviewers scored it 9 out of 10 and oh look – here’s Capcom Unity’s Brett Elston when he still worked at GamesRadar stating: “X was a total reinvention of the series, a perfectly executed update that had fans anticipating its release with a fervour the franchise hadn’t seen since the Mega Man 2 and 3 days.”

Mega Man X (from the SNES) will be releasing on Wii Virtual Console on the 8th March (this Thursday) for 800 Nintendo points!
