I've always thought Zain was one of the coolest looking Megaman villains. The elaborate gold armor, that uncompromisingly cold glare from behind his faceplate, and that great sword that would even make Cloud Strife turn his head. It's a shame his only appearance was relegated to Xtreme 1. I would've loved to see him and Zero have a 1 on 1 fight or something along those lines.

one extra detail of Xtreme 2, is the fact that after beating extreme mode, you can play a boss rush with either Zero or X, the special thing here is, you can play a boss rush of bosses from Xtreme 2 and a boss rush of bosses from the first Xtreme, which is kinda funny with Zero

Xtreme 2 is severely underrated so I’m excited to see this

"What an idiot I am for my inability to predict that" That's the second time I've heard this sentence today lol

Man, oh, man, was I glued to this damn game in the early 2000’s. As primitive and archaic as it is by today’s standards, a portable MM X game made my friggin day!

I remember when I was a kid I thought it was insane that they managed to create a MegaMan X game with elements from X1, X2, X3 and X4 on a tiny 8-bit laptop powered by AAA batteries, it's a huge improvement compared to the old games Megaman that came before the Game Boy were extremely slow and it's even more surprising that the first Xtreme works on the original 1989 Game Boy. (unfortunately Xtreme 2 was exclusive to Game Boy Color for some reason) I really admire Capcom's effort at the time to achieve this.

Gameboy Pocket ran on 2xAAA batteries, but the original, GBC, & initial GBA all ran on AA batteries. Megaman Xtreme 2/Rockman X2: Soul Eraser was a Color-only cart specifically to do two things: one, try to ditch the slowdown that plagued Xtreme 1/X1: Cyber Mission when playing on a GB or GB Pocket (but it was fairly fine on a GBC), and two, that battle against Kaiser Sigma in his battle suit at the end of Xtreme Mode with its color changing ability that forces you to switch between X & Zero. Yup, one kinda crappy thing that probably needed the GBC's added CPU power (because Link's Awakening DX had the GBC exclusive Color Dungeon, but it otherwise was perfectly playable on the regular GB/GBP...NOT having the whole game be GBC only)

''I still don't get why capcom would release mega man games on obsolete hardware'' That's because not everyone jumps from one generation to the next that fast, in the case of MegaMan and Bass Capcom was very clear about it and it was basically the ''farewell'' to the SNES and honestly I think that's really good for On the part of Capcom, not everyone can afford to buy a new console that fast but they still want to play the new games. That's why we still see a lot of games coming out for the PS4 even with the PS5 already having 2 years on the market, I for example won't be able to buy a PS5 anytime soon so I'm very happy that I can still play games like GOW Ragnarok.

Great review, I never new these games even existed!! Seeing official art of X in his first armor drawn in the X4 style is a rare treat indeed

*braces self for the eventual Command Mission Review* Im aware of the game's issues, repetive area designs, and other interesting bits. But as a MegaMan RPG in the more traditional light, It stands up pretty well. RPG Fans might have issues here, but MegaMan fans might like it as a hidden gem, if not because of the stories, but for bringing the X series into a genre that only two other subseries were able to perfect in their own right.

You've Asked for it This December! Capcom Presents the Megaman Anniversary PACHINKO MACHINE!

Having just finished Xtreme 1 I would say it's a jawdropping official demake. Just gorgeous even if it's essentially X1: Cutie Edition in gameplay.

I remember dad buying this for me when we were going to Jamaica for the summer. Was so happy when I beat Sigma. Not so happy when I beat hard mode and saw extreme mode lmao. When I bought 2 I loved it but beating game with Zero was so annoying. Greatest name ever.. Overdrive Ostrich.

This was my first Megaman game and I freaking loved it. It started my love for Megaman when I was a weee boy.

As for those curious for the Minimal Backtrack routes for these game's xtreme modes, here is what I came up with Xtreme 1 Storm Eagle (Heart Tank 1, Sub Tank 1, Head Parts) Flame Stag (Heart Tank 2, Body Parts) Chill Penguin (Heart Tank 3, Leg Parts) Spark Mandrill (Heart Tank 4, Sub Tank 2, Arm Parts) Armored Armadillo (Heart Tank 5, Sub Tank 3, Zero Dash) Wheel Gator (Heart Tank 6, Zero Rising) Morph Moth (Heart Tank 7, Earth Gaizer) Magna Centipede (Heart Tank 8, Sub Tank 4, Zero Final) Xtreme 2 Wire Sponge (Heart Tank 1, Sub Tank 1, Zero Leg Upgrade) Overdrive Ostrich (Heart Tank 2, Zero Head Upgrade) Tunnel Rhino (Heart Tank 3, Zero Arm Upgrade) Blast Hornet (Heart Tank 4, Zero Body Upgrade) Flame Mammoth (Heart Tank 5, Sub Tank 2, X Arm Parts) Neon Tiger (Heart Tank 6, X Head Parts) Volt Catfish (Heart Tank 7, X Leg Parts) Launch Octopus (Heart Tank 8, X Body Parts)

I'm looking forward to a new review of Command Mission, love that game!

I'm gonna be honest here, Xtreme 2 is one of my favorite X games, right next to X1 and X8. The parts system and character swapping, while something we're used to by this point, really helps make Xtreme 2 something special. It's fun to plan my route and experiment with the tools I'm given to maximize speed and damage. Especially the speed, I LOVE how fast the game is. Is it perfect? No, it's got some major flaws. Is it fun? Hell yeah it is!

really loving these rereviews J! keep up the great work.

I'd love to see the villains of both extreme games brought back. These awesome designs sure are wasted to reside in these handheld games forever.

I started Maverick Hunter X a few days ago since I dug up my Vita, I'm looking forward to your re-review! I watched the old one yesterday but I'm curious of how your opinion changed.

It's interesting to have a take from a relatively new fan of the MMX franchise. Having a more fresh perspective shines a different light on these games in contrast to my buying these when they were originally released. Things were a lot different than they are now. For example, yes, the Gameboy Advanced was launched around the time of Xtreme 2, but video game coverage wasn't a huge thing unless you really went out of your way. Not only were plenty of GBC games coming out, most people didn't even know a new kind of Gameboy was being released. The ability to fit basically the entire X games with very little comprise and such a close game feel to the originals was amazing. It's taken for granted nowadays with the Switch and such, but the ability to play a game so close to a home console game on a car ride was world changing. This was also my first experience being able to play Zero as a full character, not just the limited X3 version. That alone made Xtreme 2 my favorite game for a LOOONG time. You may not have much reason to play these games, but with nostalgia, they're amazing.

I'm really glad that you took a second look at Xtreme2. When you grade on a curve for hardware limitations, I think Xtreme2 is more than worthy of standing with the giants like X4, and I would love to see it remastered someday. True, it has some technical issues with the weapons and item game. But thematically speaking it does the very best job in the entire series of showcasing X and Zero as a team. Not only the final boss but also the tank boss in the fortress, where X and Zero each have clear advantages (X can more easily hit the upper head while Zero can push the tank back to attack the lower), and the Scramble Change is faster and smoother than in the main series. I also really like the air dash physics, in that you keep your dash momentum until you land, instead of dead stopping midair like on the PS1. Heavy nostalgia while still putting a new spin on it is always a winner in my book, as is literally any excuse to see Iris again.

That Sly Cooper transition worked so well

oh btw,you can bypass the platform by using xtreme 1's glitchy wallkick,so there's that

You be doing a bit of trolling. Nice.

🙂 well done j, I honestly like the idea you've been doing on re reviewing the X games *much like in a way where one would replay older games as the years pass by, an example being me playing something like starfox 64 and I still enjoy it as much as I did before* that being said, while I never played much of xtreme 1, xtreme 2 was part of my childhood thanks to a neighbor, I liked it ,despite my love for portable gaming wasn't quite there yet *that honestly didn't hit the stride until I got the vita* and if I may speak kindly, your style of reviewing the X series *as well as other games you've done, even if I don't play them all myself* really does show that you learned to see the games in a positive *or even negative* light, some games can still hold up well, whereas others not so much, I don't expect a response back, 🙂 but again, I tip my hat to you good sir!! *and if I may ask, have you ever played the uncharted games, if so, what are your thoughts in brief*

I'll confirm. It DOES work vice versa where if you beat Zero Mode, the X mode continues by giving you the weapons of the Mavericks Zero took out.

How I wish they could’ve made MegaMan Xtreme 3 for GBA, MegaMan Xtreme 4 for NDS and MegaMan Xtreme 5 for 3DS.

Megaman X content is always a welcomed sight.

Would be cool to see the Xtreme exclusive characters in X DiVE.

Your reviews on megaman x games are the only ones I watch because of how good they are.

I loved the xtreme series i replay them every once in a while for nostalgia Blast hornet sound so good in 8bit one of my favorite tracks

Xtreme was my first exposure to the Mega man X series when I was a kid. didn't even finish it, but remember enjoying it. The second I discovered actual Mega man X it was a great mix of recognition and appreciation.

I was so happy when I got Xtreme 2 back in the day. I played the heck out of that game. It was the first game to let you switch between the two characters on the fly, even before the main series believe that or not.

Xterme 2 is pretty fun. I really love the ost. Wire sponge stage is a banger!

Disappointed you didn’t review the Zook Hero trilogy. Now THAT would have been fun

there was also a unfinished Mega Man Xtreme 3 prototype which is somewhat playable, as well as a canceled gba mega man (unknown if it was a gb mega man trilogy remake/port or original or what) And there was a Korean MMO mega man/x hybrid (Rockman online aka Mega Man online). Unknown if the software even exists to make a pirate server since the original is (i think) offline. Rockman online was in playable beta form though

Outside of the iPad port of X1, Xtreme 2 was the only X game i played when i was a kid. Don't remember much, I did like it quite a bit, so it's nice to hear it talked about Also, I actually like the look of the Xtreme games more than the SNES X games. The color palettes are so pleasing

I enjoy both of the Mega Man Xtreme games

After seeing that buster upgrade, now I know how 7 year old me beat Xtreme 2 I can't remember if down+A worked in the air, but I definitely remember doing a lotta double tapping on that Gameboy Color lol

Honestly, I wish that they kept the whole idea going, I kind of liked how they mixed and matched bosses from X1-3 in Xtreme and Xtreme 2. If they had expanded further upon it then the games could have provided us with endless possibilities, like imagine if they made a rogue like game, where you could fight any of the bosses from X1-X8, and you basically had to figure out the best tactics to survive, since some powers would not be very effective against some bosses, plus it would be kind of cool to fight old bosses as Zero or AXL, and see what kind of powers they would give them, they could also go a step further and make unique content like Wily Wars did for the Megaman Trilogy on the Genesis, where the powers you took with you from Megaman 1-3 decided how you could proceed in those new stages.

I would love to see Berkana and Gareth in 16-bit.

A third X Collection would have been swell as a means to play Maverick Hunter X and Command Mission (yes I actually like Command Mission) as well as these two Xtreme games since from now on you won't even be able to get them on the 3DS with it's eShop getting axed.

*Controversial opinion warning.* I mean no trolling in saying this, it's just my personal thoughts and opinions as a long-time viewer. (Plz don't kill me lol) After seeing a number of your MMX videos as of late, and really mulling on this for a while... I feel like these re-reviews of your old content are sort of unnecessary and lack a certain passion to them. I do appreciate the effort put into these videos, and I also more or less appreciated the reasoning you explicitly gave at the start of these re-reviews as to why you were doing them, but the more I see them, the more I feel like your dissatisfaction with your older videos was not entirely fair to those videos. I watched the original reviews. Were they 'lower quality' in some ways that could be improved upon in the current day? Technically, yes, of course. But were they bad reviews?... I dunno. I enjoyed them, at least. Even if you don't feel your opinions and structure was entirely valid to what you feel now, you still gave the games professional reviews that allowed people to see plenty of the games and understand them well enough to form their own opinions, which really is the most significant thing a review video can do. I also feel like you are simply tackling these re-reviews like a list to check out, an issue to 'fix' by replacing said issue. Heck, you even brought up the list. Which is why it feels a bit passionless from my point of view. It's also a statement that you're making that you think that EVERY one of your old Mega Man videos were rough and unpolished enough to need replacement. If you felt this way about particular videos and remade those particular videos that'd be a fair thought, but throwing the entire collection of videos under the bus simply because you made them 5 years ago feels...unfair to your older content, I guess? What ultimately inspired me to write this comment was how this video ends with you mentioning a re-RE-review of Maverick Hunter X, and mentioning 'third time's the charm'. As if the first two videos were just failures. I dunno man. I just sometimes feel like you're way too harsh on your older videos on the simple virtue that 'they're old and I could have done better'. I feel there's an air of dissatisfaction and perfectionism with you sometimes, and that does admittedly creep into my mind when I see these re-reviews and makes the experience less enjoyable. I just feel that there's a different air to your wholly-original content such as the Riders video that I don't see in these re-reviews. I'm a person with OCD and perfectionism who has to learn how to control those feelings and be satisfied with myself and what I've done, so this is why I've thought about this with you. I get similar vibes from you that I do when I'm pushing myself too hard. And I know for a fact that over-perfectionism is a curse KZreadrs can fall into. It all concerns me, so I wanted to leave my thoughts. (...Sorry to the people that this comment inevitably makes mad. Wasn't my goal at all, I promise you.)

You know, I’m planning on doing a side project where I actually go and watch my old videos, every single one and seeing how they actually hold up. Because today, I can only look through the filter of how I remember them, and the attitudes I had on reviewing *as a person* back then, rather than thinking if the actual video was good or bad. So, you could entirely be correct. I don’t know if I’m a perfectionist, but I definitely have OCD. So when the footage isn’t perfectly pixelated on an old video (the way I like it now) I just want to see it done over from scratch. The MHX re-re-review is already done, so I can’t change that.

I played both recently and i have to agree about Xtreme 2 being a lot more enjoyable than 1. The part system, the way the armor dash works (the charge shot is not my favourite) and the changing of Zero on the fly is pretty good. Tank Sigma was awful though. Gareth and Berkana leave something to be desired as characters (though Berkana making a pass at X and him wanting nothing to do with that was funny) but their design is just awesome.

Third time's the charm, right?

I agree that while X is awesome I tend to go back to OG series waaaay more.

Oh yeah. We eating

the xtreme 2 version of the x2 intro stage theme is top tier and i will hear no argument against that fact

The OG Game Boy Mega Man games remixed the levels of the returning Robot Masters which makes them interesting to play even if you have experience with the NES games. The issue with Xtreme is that the levels were lifted straight from the SNES which honestly makes me question why I am playing a watered down Mega Man X game from the GBC that does not even bother to remix it's levels or give me new weapons like the OG Game Boy Mega Man games did.

I beat both of these games but not any other X games besides the first one. Idk just felt like I was weird. I only played Xtreme cus it was on my 3DS and cheaper than buy X2 and X3 on my Wii u when I was 12

0:35 there's something cursed about seeing X holding an assault rifle like that 😭

Spark Mandrill and Chill Penguin are supposed to be taller than X. Chill Penguin might not seem like it from most of his in-action sprites but when he stands straight up you can tell he's taller. And that new artwork is X6 style not X4. I'd be happy to help as a Megaman expert consultant for future videos.

you dont HAVE to play the classic games, you just have to know who dr light and dr wily are. also x5 and x8 are okay just not as good as the first 4 so its up to you if you want to get lc2 or not.

I started from X1 and continued on from there so you're good. Also yeah legacy collection 1 (X1-4) houses all the "good" mmx games, I'd say unless you love the franchise by that point, don't even bother with X5-8.
