The verdict
Four classic Mega Man X games (X1-X4) with a fun X Challenge mode and extras, but X1-X3 are plain SNES emulation with input lag and weak options. Skip if you're sensitive to lag.
Great for
Mega Man fans and newcomers wanting X1-X4 officially, ideally on sale with a controller
Main risk
Input lag, slowdown and missing save states or saved controls make X1-X3 worse than emulation
What players love
Nostalgic, challenging and good value on sale
