X1 the Sad Version.

Look at the artwork or even just the box art of X3, and how lit it looks, how much personality it has, then to see this remake turn its back on all that and make everything bland, and even bundle a twenty minute OVA to rub your face in it. It's super depressing. It's stupid low budget and missing basic details on the characters.

Mega Man Powered Up was like a whole new game and adds so much new stuff. Level maker. New robot masters. Play as any of the robot masters. Unlock Roll, Protoman, slide and charge shot. Great art style too. Maverick Hunter X on the other hand..is mostly just Mega Man X ported to PSP. You're hardly any worse off playing the SNES version. In fact, that version is straight up better. For one thing, in the SNES, he doesn't voice all of his attacks like it's a fighting game. (sigh) He doesn't make a clang sound with every single step he takes while running. (SIGH) The boss theme is actually really good instead of the new techno remix that absolutely ruins it. The colors are actually really vibrant. The gameplay actually feels really, really tight. Armadillo is actually a screen wrecking tour de force.

The PSP version remixes some things like relocating some of the powerup locations. I hardly see the point. Unless the locations are randomized and different for each playthrough, then all it takes is to learn their locations once and you're pretty much back to where you started.

On that note, Dr. Light is this flanderized version in this game. In the SNES he has this intense mystique while on the PSP he's just this cartoon science fat man.

tl;dr: "NO!! NOT A CHARGE SHOT!!"
