Franchise Festival S4E4 – Mega Man X

Chris and Hamilton are joined by special guest Nadia Oxford, author of the Maverick Hunter’s Field Guide, to talk about Mega Man X (1993). Along the way, they learn about Capcom’s difficulty growing Mega Man past its 8-bit roots, discuss changes between the original and its 2006 remake, and let listeners in on Dr. Cain’s secret weakness.

No need to listen to the episode to join in the discussion, though! Let’s talk about your favorite (and least favorite) parts about Mega Man X below.

This show is made possible by patrons like Cheatachu, Quinley Thorne, Celeste, Ed, Loren, Jasper, Cedric the Owl, and Jarathen. If you enjoy the episode, consider backing us on Patreon to get access to a bonus episode each month – including the full library of previous bonus episodes – and vote on future episode topics.

April 2024’s bonus show will be on the Mega Man X prologue anime, Day of Sigma!
