Mega Man X: Viral Nightmare

What if Mega man X6 had a little more time in the oven?
What if the concepts and strange ambitions were fully explored with the power of time and hindsight?
I introduce: Mega Man X: Viral Nightmare

A reimagined take on the most notorious X game that aims to be a love letter to the original game that expands on its original concepts and introduces many new ones to make a new experience that doesn’t simply replace the original.

Key Differences:

• It’s now widescreen. Enemies appear on screen faster and you get to see more of the level at once, no longer feeling cramped.

• New level design and concepts. X6 is a very dramatic game with polarising gimmicks that have now been fully expanded with more refined ideas and plenty of surprises.

• Armour parts are now equipped piece by piece and have new multi-purpose abilities. Armour pieces can be mixed and matched like in X8.

• Parts and reploid system overhaul. Reploids don’t hold parts, instead they give you nightmare souls which are used as currency to buy parts.

• Parts are now unlocked after defeating bosses. The player’s rank now determines how many parts can be equipped at once. You increase your rank by saving reploids.

• Brand new content such as new parts and redone special weapons to make sure they all have a utility and purpose in X’s arsenal.

• Features Data Logs, a collectible that expands on the lore of X6 and other games to further flesh out the world the series takes place in. They are entirely optional if reading isn't your thing.

Batch 1+2 currently includes:

• Playable Zero

• Alternate Paths (Now called the Deep Nightmare) in each stage

• 4 Armour Pieces to collect

• 23 swappable Parts to purchase

• Eurasia Crashsite (intro stage)

• Amazon Ruins (Commander Yammark’s stage)

• Inami Temple (Rainy Turtloid’s stage)

• Magma Furnace (Blaze Heatnix’s stage)

• Weapon Center (Infinity Mijinion’s stage)
