Support NeoGAF

[Wario64]

"The site says that the iOS version is based off the current feature phone version of the game. In addition to touch panel support, it adds GameCenter support for a ranking mode. You'll find 80 challenges for showing off your (touch screen) Mega Man skills to the rest of the world. "

"More SNES/Super Famicom classics on your iPhone! Following Square Enix's Chrono Trigger (released today for ¥1,200), Capcom said today that it will release Mega Man X on iOS later this month.

Capcom describes the iOS version as a powered up port. What's new? We'll let you know once we find out!"

how will this control is the real question

 

[blizzardjesus]

how will this control is the real question

not well

 

[sixteen-bit]

how will this control is the real question

If Megaman 2 is any indication...

 

[Aeana]

I thought we had previously voted Mega Man as the series of games most unplayable without buttons after the MM2 port.

 

[bounchfx]

I know the controls will be an absolute mess but I want this

 

[Takao]

Powered Up Port makes me think someone got Maverick Hunter confused.

 

[Orayn]

It's a shame that no official games will ever be compatible with this thing: http://www.icontrolpad.com/

 

[Aeana]

Powered Up Port makes me think someone got Maverick Hunter confused.

I assume Anoop translated from Japanese, in which case there wouldn't be any relation, because MMPU is called Rockman Rockman in Japan, Powered Up is only the western version.

 

[The Big Rig]

Hey, I was able to play X on my old Windows Mobile phone. Controls be damned, this is right up my alley.

 

[vareon]

If Megaman 2 is any indication...

How was it?

 

[Xav]

How was it?

You don't want to know.

 

[Takao]

I assume Anoop translated from Japanese, in which case there wouldn't be any relation, because MMPU is called Rockman Rockman in Japan, Powered Up is only the western version.

"Rockman Rockman"

That's a hideous title. No wonder those remakes sold like shit.

 

[Adnor]

This part will be impossible on the iPhone.

 

[chickdigger802]

hurry up and bring Ghost trick ios to the states...

Hopefully all the handheld goty nominations will finally get them around to it >.>"

 

[Lavalamp1138]

hurry up and bring Ghost trick ios to the states...

This. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to return to my session of Mega Man Zero while I muster up the courage to stop looking at GAF and finally purchase Chrono Trigger iOS.

 

[Rocket Punch]

This part will be impossible on the iPhone.

No kidding. No less than 3 simultaneous button presses to get there.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Play a game like Mega Man with a virtual d-pad? Fucking hell no.

 

[sixteen-bit]

How was it?

Read the post directly below that

 

[Azure J]

I've had a horrendous itch to play some new Megaman especially of the X variety. Seeing this is kinda weird though, how will it work?

 

[Boney]

oh boy!

 

[Shard]

This will not end well.

 

[Orayn]

No kidding. No less than 3 simultaneous button presses to get there.

Well, multi-touch can do that, but the lack of feedback and covering up the screen with your thumbs is a total dealbreaker.

 

[Gospel]

lmao

 

[Boney]

MEGAMAN'S NOT DEAD GUYS!

 

[Takao]

MEGAMAN'S NOT DEAD GUYS!

Nah, he's dead. They're just moving his grave.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Pretty nice, though wish I could play on my Android. I'd like to see more sorts of software like this!

 

[Seven Force]

This part will be impossible on the iPhone.

Thank god for the alternate way to get that power up.

 

[StickSoldier]

Thank god for the alternate way to get that power up.

Alt..ner..nate??????

 

[Guesong]

Alt..ner..nate??????

Zero automatically gives you the Buster Powerup when he dies if you don't have it, I believe.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Alt..ner..nate??????

Zero gives you a hand.

 

[Seven Force]

Alt..ner..nate??????

Zero gives it to you after beating Vile if you didn't already have the upgrade.

Edit: Beaten >_>

 

[Technosteve]

I rather rub my dick on glass then play my favorite mega man with out buttons. One of these guys should just release a controller case that works with these games.

 

[Medalion]

Desecrate a classic snes mega man game...crapcom knows no shame

 

[jman2050]

Touch controls? More like "powered down port"

 

[ultim8p00]

Zero automatically gives you the Buster Powerup when he dies if you don't have it, I believe.

Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!??

 

[Lijik]

I like to play platformers on iOs (mos speedrun and league of evil - so good!)
But Megaman X on this platform?
From Capcom the people who gave us the world's shittiest virtual dpad in their Megaman 2 port?

Haha, I'd rather jab butcher knives into my bladder.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

This is going to control so very, very badly.

If the price is right I might grab it anyway though.

 

[Zee-Row]

Doing the Hadoken with a virtual D-Pad is gonna suck too.

 

[TheLastCandle]

This will control like penis.

 

[udivision]

This will control like penis.

Dude, the iphone doesn't have a joystick.

 

[ghibli99]

Keep releasing stuff like this. It just underscores the importance of traditional controls for games meant for them instead of trying to force them on systems where it just doesn't make sense. Not hating, we have iOS and Android devices. I just hate it when companies ignore the obvious.

 

[AbsoluteZero]

LOL iPhone Games.

 

[Gospel]

I rather rub my dick on glass

won't be so bad if it's not broken glass.

 

[VariantX04]

LOL iPhone Games.

You are what's wrong with this industry. Stop tearing this industry apart!

 

[Somnid]

It was hard enough on a GCN controller, fuck that. Also, even if this was free you people should not support this type of bullshit.

 

[Beth Cyra]

Of all the places to put X. Capcom you really are a bunch of fuckers.


Day 1.

 

[Seik]

Dude, the iphone doesn't have a joystick.

Yes, a virtual one...

This whole thing is wrong.

 

[SmithnCo]

Man, if you want to play this with touch controls more power to ya, but I cannot imagine it.

 

[jman2050]

This is going to control so very, very badly.

This. This right here is the problem.
