My first Mega Man game when I was about 5 or something (got it in a gba bundle well after its release). Obviously not a replacement for the console versions of X and X2 but it's a cute little novelty that works surprisingly well.
An impressive attempt at squeezing a SNES game onto the Game Boy Color, but while the original GB Mega Man games remixed and reconsidered the stages from the NES games it took its bosses from, this is just...the SNES stages. If you really specifically want a Mega Man game to play on a Game Boy Color, this is solid. Otherwise there's not much reason to play this today over its big brothers.
for an old game this looks good

As good as you can really get with converting a 16 bit game to the Gameboy Color. The music is surprisingly good and the action is decent. I appreciate the new story and original characters to keep it as its own game and not simply a port. Its one of the better Gameboy Color platformers since the console in not known for having good action game, let alone good games at all.
Why do you have to play it two times to play every maverick stage
This game is very meh. It’s nothing special. It’s just x1 and x2 stages in Gameboy but slower and smaller. It’s not super interesting. Also holy shoot these unskippable beeping text cutscenes are unbearable.
It's some of MMX1 and some of MMX2 if it was worse.
The controls aren't really fun.
I can respect the quaint little attempt to port mega man X controls to a game boy game but good lord everything surrounding it is ass. You deal no fucking damage while bosses can delete you in 2 hits, level design is copied directly from X1 and X2 except worse because now there's just little pockets of nothing where secrets used to be, why do we need TWO SEPARATE BOSS RUSHES, it blows dude.
A nota faz parecer q eu odiei, mas é um jogo completamente inofensivo
A much better attempt at a Mega Man experience on a hand held compared to the OG Mega Man titles. I don't know how well it holds up these days, but it was a fun mix of stages from Mega Man X and X2. The game suffers just a little from the GBC only having two face buttons.
ngl its dick
Check Xtreme 2 for double review!
Não é um dos melhores Megaman portáteis mais vale pela curiosidade
It's a decent game. The controls feel good, but the dash with double-tap takes some getting used to.
Like the first four classic Mega Man Gameboy titles, it mixes elements of two games, in this case X1 and X2.
But instead of using the same assets to create new levels, it simply uses the exact same ones from the originals, making it a worse way to play them.

MEGA MAN MARATHON #6
I’m not playing this shit anymore. I beat Normal and Hard mode and Xtreme mode is just those stitched together and I’m not that dedicated. This was bad. Dashing by crouching and pressing A is really unnatural and unfun. It’s ball busting my hard but unlike other Mega Man games it’s cause of screen crunch not cause of fair design. X games just don’t work as well on Game Boy. This was not good. The remixes were good though and the sprite art was great especially that “Ready” sign like why was that so clear it looked like something out of a modern sprite game.

É basicamente um demake dos dois primeiros Megaman X, mas tem o seu valor de entretenimento.
literally best megaman game
A surprisingly interesting novelty for any X fan. Arguably poor, but I enjoyed my time with it.
A very basic Gameboy game. Not really my thing. Mega Man is already very bare-bones, and stripped-down Mega Man has nothing appealing about it.
Best portable mega man game of that era. It's just a mashup of X1 and X2 stages and the graphics are actually good for the gameboy.
Play it over the original MM series on the GB, because this one is way better.

While the bosses and levels are just taken from X1 and X2, I think this is just as good as the former, and way more fun than the letter.
The graphics, music, and game as a whole really is a damn fine conversion of the X games into 8-bit. It plays very nicely to boot, even in the X2 stages.
Easily tied with the original MMX as my favorite in the series (at least so far, haven't gone past X4).

Looks great for a GBC game trying to replicate X's extremely detailed spritework, kinda cheeks to play though.
As "Mega Man X on the GBC", it's pretty good
As "A canonical entry in the Mega Man X franchise", it kinda sucks

Meh, pode ter sido muito bom pra época, mas pra hoje em dia, apesar das poucas coisas novas, é apenas uma versão diminuta de X1 e x2.
Não vejo muitos motivos para revisita-lo hoje em dia, sem ser pelas músicas, que realmente são boas, vale a pena checar elas.
É apenas...Meh.

This is somehow worse than the GB Mega Mans. MMX plays so much better than MM, and this game doesn't reflect that change.
This was one of the last things on my list of yet unplayed Mega Man games, and so I set about finally getting to it. Given what I’d heard about how it controls, I really didn’t particularly want to play it on real hardware, so I ended up emulating the English version and playing it with an Xbone gamepad instead of playing a Japanese copy on real hardware. It took me about 4 hours to get the real ending with fairly light save state use.
Xtreme is effectively the handheld version of the first couple Mega Man X games, but it has handheld versions of a jumble of stages, and to get around the fact that story-wise this makes no sense, they make a story here based around going into a computer database to set right all of the memory data of past battles that are being corrupted by the bad guys. The story is ultimately fine, but it’s really not why we’re here, as is usual for the older MMX games (though this was actually made close to the year 2000, so closer to when MMX7 was released than 1 and 2, but just ignore that bit :b).
The gameplay is pretty straightforwardly handheld ports of half of Mega Man X 1 and 2. Technically you have 3 difficulty modes of Normal, Hard, and XTREME (because of course you do), but all that really changes is how many of the game’s 8 stages you do as well for whether or not you fight the real final boss (Normal is first 4 stages, Hard is 2nd 4, and Xtreme is all 4 + the real final boss at the end). Now there aren’t much in the way of new stages, but what is here are pretty darn competent versions of levels from X 1 and 2 (as well as a Sigma stage from each game). Some of the more technically difficult parts of them have been cut out or shortened down, but it’s still a really impressive version of those stages. The boss fights have been changed a bit too to work better with a smaller screen, and there are even just about all the bonus X parts from both X1 and 2 to find hidden more or less where they always were. The only real design complaint I have is that with only two buttons and a D-pad, you’re forced to use double-tap to dash, which is less than ideal in the harder wall climbing sections.
Graphically, this is a REALLY impressive looking GBC game, and it’s even more wild that it’s also a black-cart game that’d also work on a normal GB. Granted I don’t have an original GB to test it with, games like this really show off the differences in power between the GBC and its older brother and just the kind of stuff the little colorful 8-bit machine was capable of. The music is basically all 8-bit versions of tracks from the represented games. That’s a pretty tall order for the GBC’s sound chip, and it does its best. It’s hardly a substitute for the real thing, but it’s ultimately fine.
Verdict: Recommended. I thought this game would end up being a lot rougher than it actually is. Now sure, part of how much I enjoyed it may be down to the hardware and controller I played it with, but even still, this is a remarkably well put together game considering how rough the 8-bit portable version of the early MMX games would be expected to be. Well worth playing if you’re a Mega Man fan and looking to change things up a bit~.

Mid
back in 2000 portable mega man x was probably the shit
but we can just play the actual mega man x on the go now, and even maverick hunter x
so unless you really want to experience this games original story, or just check out all the different versions of x1, dont bother with this game
also forcing you to beat the game before you unlock the difficulty that gives you half the content is bs
