"If there’s somewhere we’ve all been, it’s the realm of bad sequels. We’ve all had our favorite franchises marred by the production of rushed and sub-par sequels.
Take the Mega Man X series, for example. Mega Man X7 was the sequel that almost ruined everything for me. Granted, X6 with its plot retconning almost did me in, but the gameplay still fun to play. X7 lacked charm, both in its plot and execution."
"Mega Man X and Zero are a couple of the coolest 2D action game heroes so let's see which of these radical robots comes out on top." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
I liked the Zero games better even if Capcom forced changes to be made to it because they insisted the X games would keep going after V. Ended up making the Zero games more of a what if scenario and not canon imo. X going maverick after 100s of years of fighting would of been better than the defective Copy X we got.
Twinfinite Writes: A games' soundtrack can play a powerful part in the experience, sometimes being the highlight above gameplay or anything else.
Time to get serious. Whether it's bad translation or merely localisation staff having fun, there sure are some silly Maverick names. Let's take a trip down memory lane and have a look back at ten of the most laughable Mega Man X bosses.
