    suhweet! Here I was reminising about the good old days, and thinking about that Mega Man: Powered Up game that they're doing for the PSP. I said, yeah Rockman was good, but Megaman X is better. They ought to make a PSP game from the Mega Man X series. So what did they do? They made a Mega Man X PSP game based on the first one in the series That's What!!! But's it's not just that oh no. They also add in new boss intros and dialouge, a playable Vile campaign, and a 24 minute backstory movie! Fanboys will rejoice, critics will jabber, and wallets will empty. I don't know if it's telepathy or what, but I am a happy happy boy, Heck I was afraid to go to bed, fearing that I would wake up and discover it all to be a dream. But's it's not, and in less that a month, I'll be able to play the game that introduced me gaming on the PSP. A8 year old's dream, 10 years in the making Expand

    This game is brilliant in every way. It's by far the best game on PSP, and it is for the PSP what New Super Mario Bros. is for the DS, if not better.

    Very. very fun game. Although frustrating at times, this is not only a great mega man game, it's a great game period. Fun at home, and on the go.

    Remaking games is limited this days , and Mega Man X MH is worth checking out. For starters and Mega Man X veterans this needs to be in your list now that the PSP doesn't have to many games.

    It's very nice to see this updated version of the SNES's Mega Man X. The graphical touches are nice, and everything runs smoothly - but the best part is that some of the hidden items have had their locations switched up so veteran players will have some fresh secrets to discover. This is simple, fun, retro goodness and is a must play for any fans of the Mega Man franchise.

  1. A pretty picture to look at and a port of an excellent Super Nintendo action title. On the other hand increased slowdown and its short length will restrict Irregular Hunter X strictly to Mega Man maniacs. [JPN Import]
  2. This is where the PSP begins to run away from the DS. Yeah, I said it. [Feb 2006, p.60]
  3. Irregular Hunter X will satisfy your need for some side-scrolling shooting. The game is exactly the same as the original although with a few changes to keep things fresh. [JPN Import]
