Rockman Unity also confirmed the production of Rockman X4: Zero Version, due for release in January, 2012. Confirming previous speculations, Rockman X4 is being partitioned into two separate games starring X/Zero respectively. The split was done in order to preserve the quality and authenticity of the original game, released back in 1997.
X Version begins distribution on December 1st for 525 Yen (roughly $6.55), exclusively to NTT Docomo FOMA905i and 705i series phones via the Capcom Party internet service.

This looks terrible.
ReplyDeleteThis looks exactly the same as the PSX version.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a waste of time
ReplyDeleteThey're re-packaging X4 into separate titles for each player.
ReplyDeleteI oh so love where this is going.
That is all they can do, port.
ReplyDeleteYet I'm already playing X1-X6 on my phone?
ReplyDelete@Anon1: Uh... how so?
ReplyDeleteIts annoying. They should made it for Wiiware. Sighing.

ReplyDeleteX4 for WiiWare? Just release a 25th Anniversary Collection for Wii and the other consoles with MM1-10, I-V, MM&B, X1-8, and more. Much better!
"The split was done in order to preserve the quality and authenticity of the original game, released back in 1997."
ReplyDeleteRather than to make money on each separately? Right. I'm sure.

ReplyDeleteI don't see the problem, myself. These games are going to cost all of six bucks when released. Compare that to the price tag of the original PS-X/Saturn games -- somewhere around $39.95, if memory serves me right? -- and, well... That doesn't seem so bad now, does it?
In all honestly, while the port looks good (aside from the screen resolution), I just can't fathom playing this game on a phone. The Megaman X games are execution-heavy enough that you really do need a solid controller if you want to get anywhere. Personally, I can't play MMX on anything aside from a solid PSX/PS2 controller (though I did manage with the GCN port).
ReplyDeleteWhy the Sigma are they separating the titles for X and Zero? Money.

ReplyDeleteImplying that the overrated crap that is the PlayStation's controller is a solid gamepad. My fingers always hurt after playing games with it, unlike with the GC controller.
