As long as Mavericks exist… As long as evil exists in the mind of humans… I’ll come back again and again!
For the most part, Mega Man Xtreme is a brisk, condensed version of Mega Man X. The setup here is pretty interesting—a new group of Mavericks, the “Shadow Hunters,” hack into cyberspace to destabilize the planet’s security systems, thereby forcing X to jump into cyberspace himself to stop them. It’s a decently novel, if convenient, reason for X to replay stages from his very first game. Xtreme feels pretty great to control, and the graphics are very good for a Game Boy Color title. While this can never replace Mega Man X, it’s more than worth its salt as a fun little companion piece.
