=== Vile Weapons === | |||
{{Main|Vile's Weapons}} | |||
Vile has his own unique arsenal, divided into three categories: Shoulder, Arm, and Leg weapons. They are then further divided into three weapons types each, which are unlocked by defeating Maverick bosses. Each weapon also has a cost, and Vile's capacity increases with every boss defeated. Vile also has two armor power-ups that he also gains by defeating bosses, but are not actually weapons. | |||

Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, known in Japan as Irregular Hunter X (アイシー・ペンギーゴ), is a remake of the first Mega Man X game, developed by Capcom and released for the PlayStation Portable in 2005-2006. The game is also cross-playable on the PlayStation Vita via PSN Download.
This remake features gameplay and story largely similar to the original Mega Man X, though with major script differences, extensive character redesigns, and redone graphics and soundtrack. It also features a new mode where the player controls Vile instead of X, and a short animated movie called "The Day of Σ" that serves as a prologue to the game's story.
Story
The year is 21XX. Humans live in peace alongside mass-produced, highly-intelligent robots called Reploids. However, no technology available has been able to completely eliminate the danger that comes with robots running on artificial intelligence. As a result, malfunctions have started occurring, leading Reploids to start attacking humans. These Reploids, having exceeded the bounds of their protocols, are called Mavericks. In order to round them up and protect humans from the Maverick threat, the Maverick Hunters were formed.
Among the Maverick Hunters, one Reploid in particular stood out from the crowd as the most advanced Hunter of them all. His name is Sigma. "Reploids of the world! Take up arms and unite! Now is the time for revolution!" Out of the blue, this was Sigma’s call to arms, igniting a rebellion across the globe. Now X, another Maverick Hunter from the same team as Sigma, along with his best friend Zero, set out to put down the rebellion and put a stop to Sigma. Who knows what fate holds for these two...[1]
Characters
Name | Image | Description |
---|---|---|
X | A Reploid in Unit 17 of the Maverick Hunters. Who made him? What is his purpose? These questions are shrouded in mystery. Despite going up against Mavericks, his gentle side tends to make him hesitate at times while destroying his opponents. This has held him back at a B Hunter Rank (other Hunters view his kindness as weakness). Zero and Sigma are the only ones who sense X’s true potential.[1] | |
Vile | A Reploid formerly of Unit 17. With an irregularity in his central processing core, he will stop at nothing to destroy Mavericks, no matter the cost. He seems to enjoy his mission of hunting down Mavericks with a crazed obsession, and is considered to be borderline Maverick. Lately his superiors had incarcerated him on suspicion of actually being a Maverick, but he managed to escape under the fog of the rebellion.[1] | |
Zero | A Reploid in Unit 17, the same as X. One of the few who senses X's true potential. Zero completes his missions with speed and precision, and is second only to Sigma as an SA Rank Hunter. People find it strange that Zero worries so much about X, a B Rank Hunter. As for X, who doesn’t seem to get along with other Hunters, Zero is the only one he truly respects and can confide in.[1] | |
Sigma | Created by Dr. Cain, inventor of the Reploids, Sigma is the ultimate Reploid, with higher intelligence and battle capabilities than any other Reploid. Formerly headed the Unit 17 that X, Zero and Vile belong to. Always calm, cool and collected, playing the perfect leader off the battlefield, and the perfect war machine on the battlefield. However, one day he suddenly became a Maverick on his own and started a rebellion against all humans. Why would he do such a thing? What truth lies beneath the surface...?[1] | |
Navigator | A mass-produced navigator Reploid employed by the Maverick Hunters. She relays important information to X at crucial moments, and also appeared in the animation "The Day of Σ." | |
Dr. Light | The original creator of X. He only appeared in-person during flashbacks in "The Day of Σ," but a hologram replica of himself dwells within the Light Capsules to posthumously bestow Armor Parts to X. | |
Dr. Cain | The human scientist who unearthed X and created the Reploids, including Sigma. He only appears in the "The Day of Σ." He extended his life to watch over his creations, but apparently perished in Sigma's uprising. |

Vile Weapons
Vile has his own unique arsenal, divided into three categories: Shoulder, Arm, and Leg weapons. They are then further divided into three weapons types each, which are unlocked by defeating Maverick bosses. Each weapon also has a cost, and Vile's capacity increases with every boss defeated. Vile also has two armor power-ups that he also gains by defeating bosses, but are not actually weapons.
