Relentless, insane jerk or be-all, end-all war machine? Whatever you may think of Vile, he’s back from his alleged destruction during the events of Mega Man X and he is NOT happy to see X. Double air dashes? They’re fair game with the leg chip!Īs if that wasn’t enough, X can also unlock four different Ride Armor modules that allow him to make short work of enemies and access new areas.

Additionally, adventurous players will discover enhancement chips strewn about the levels that can be equipped onto an arm, body, leg or head upgrade to give X an extra oomph on the battlefield. While the classic dash and air dash boots from Mega Man X2 are back, X will also gain the ability to air dash vertically straight up into the air, which is a godsend for dodging enemy attacks and getting up to hard-to-reach places. Mega Man X3 ups the ante on X’s power-ups. Charging up Zero to deliver a double-blast of energy followed by a clean slice of his green Z-Saber never gets old. While Zero can’t take on mini-bosses or the Mavericks themselves (that’d be too easy!) he can be used to dash, jump and slice his way through the eight Maverick stages. Zero’s back – and he’s finally playable!įor the first time in the Mega Man X series, players can call in Zero to do battle against the Maverick forces.
