Mega Man ZX
Mega Man ZX is a 2006 action-platform game developed by Inti Creates and published by Capcom for the Nintendo DS. It was released on July 6, 2006 in Japan, September 12, 2006 in North America, June 20, 2007 in Australia, and June 22, 2007 in Europe.
Part of the Mega Man franchise, ZX is set two hundred years after the events of the Mega Man Zero series, and revolves around the efforts of the protagonist to recover powerful ancient artifacts called "Biometals" from the Pseudoroids, evil robots made to harness their power. The game introduces a new open-ended gameplay environment and the ability to select the protagonist's gender, a first in the series.
The game received positive reviews from critics, who praised its gameplay and level design, but were divided about its high difficulty level. A sequel, Mega Man ZX Advent, was released the following year, in 2007. The game was later re-released in February 2020 as part of the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows.
Mega Man ZX contains elements from both the Mega Man X series and the Mega Man Zero series. The player controls a character along a side-scrolling 2D plane, using jumps, dashes, and both melee and ranged weapons to traverse platforms and engage enemies, in order to cross the game world and complete missions. Missions are selected from a list, displayed on a computer. The player can freely explore the game world during and between missions, and they must find a mission's specified area themselves. The game also adds metroidvania concepts into the level design, with more exploration elements than the main Mega Man series.
During the game, the player uses "Biometals", sentient mechanical artifacts, to transform into different forms whose appearances and abilities are based on X, Zero, and the Four Guardians from the Mega Man Zero series. Each form has unique abilities that can be used to fight enemies, solve puzzles, and obtain special items found throughout the game world. The function of the Nintendo DS's touch screen changes with each form as well; for example, one form displays a radar on the touch screen, while another allows the player to customize the trajectory of their shots. The Model X form is initially only available temporarily at the beginning of the game, but it becomes a permanent transformation option during a second playthrough. The player can also choose to transform back into a powerless human, allowing them to crawl through tight spaces and move through civilian areas without frightening civilians or being attacked by security devices.
Additionally, nine extra bosses from the Zero series appear as hidden encounters: four stage bosses from Mega Man Zero 3, four stage bosses from Mega Man Zero 4, and Omega from Zero 3. While Omega can be encountered by default, each game's set of stage bosses are accessed from a hidden room which can only be accessed by inserting the GBA cartridge of the appropriate game into the GBA slot for the Nintendo DS or DS Lite. After defeating all eight stage bosses or Omega and then completing the game, the player will gain the ability to play as Omega until they start a new game.
For the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection release, the gameplay received minor changes to make features exclusive to the DS's hardware accessible on all platforms. The touch screen features are now placed in a small support window outside of the main game display, which can be positioned as the player chooses and operated using a control stick. The hidden encounters with the Zero series stage bosses are now accessed by activating "Link Mode" in the collection's main menu; when accessing Mega Man ZX, the player is allowed to select either the Zero 3 or Zero 4 link to encounter the bosses from that respective game.
In the year 25XX, humans and Reploids (sentient androids) now coexist peacefully, successfully restoring Earth's former nations thanks to the efforts of Slither Inc., an energy development and private security organization run by a Reploid named Serpent. However, the peace is disrupted by several incidents of Reploids mysteriously going Maverick. Trading between nations became obstructed, forcing the nations to separate into utopian cities.
