NCS Game Synopsis
©NCSX▪
With a glint of blue light, Rockman X
manifests himself on a platform and leaps into
action. Exactly 15 years after Rockman X debuted on
the Super Famicom console, Capcom remakes the game
with rendered visuals and crisp animated cinemas
that relay the story in the game. The BGM and sound
effects have also been upgraded to match the brand
new graphics. NCS was expecting a 1:1 conversion of
the levels but Capcom has modified the stage layouts
and item locations (armor, tanks, etc) to confound
gamers who were expecting to blaze through the game
with tried and true routines. Before a boss
encounter, a cinema is played which helps to convey
the events as they unfold. |

NCS Game Notes
* Rockman X has an airy trot where he seemingly
bounds across the screen with soft padded steps.
Tapping the shot button blows out a normal bullet
but hold it down to charge up and shoot a fat blue blast
which obliterates henchbots. When charging up for a blast, the center of
X's being will glow with white hot striations and
a starry pattern to demonstrate the level of power
that's about to burst outwards.
* The levels scroll from left to right in 2D but
they have 3D styling and dimensions to them. For
example, traipse across a cavernous level and the
platforms that you walk on are rendered with 3D
shading, depth, and viewable structure. Enemies whiz
and whir through the screen to attack and are
animated beautifully.
*
Rockman may leap against a wall and slowly droop
downwards where friction slows his descent. At that
point, he may elect to wall jump or turn around to
blast an enemy or a boss. Rock may dash, jump, and
wall jump which shows his shadow as he nears each
side of the wall.
* After finishing the game, players may enjoy a new
game where VAVA aka Vile (X's archenemy) is
activated and playable.
* Please note that Irregular Hunter will only work
on a PSP that has firmware v2.50. If you are on a
PSP with firmware v1.0, v1.5, or v2.0, you will need
to upgrade when the game prompts you to. The
firmware update is included on the Irregular Hunter
UMD.
Background Color
The story in Irregular Hunter X / Rockman X is a familiar tale of
man vs machine. In the year 21XX, a robot known only
as X serves as the template for a new breed of
worker-bots dubbed Reploids. Things go awry when a
faction of Reploids rebel against their human
oppressors and break away to plot against humanity.
To counter the runaway Reploids, a team of hunters
is assembled to track down and suppress any
insurgent rebels. After a short period of peace, a
new threat fires up when a Reploid named Sigma
threatens to topple humanity's dominant position on
the planet.
