- A playthrough of Capcom's 2000 action platformer for the Nintendo Game Boy Color, Mega Man Xtreme.
This video shows the game finished in both normal and hard modes in order to show all of the robot master stages.
Mega Man Xtreme - you have to love just how clearly the title gives away the time period in which this was produced. Finally, we were able to play Mega Man X while flipping between the X-Games and The X-Files on the TV, all while chugging on an Xtreme Gulp from 7-11.
Mega Man Xtreme was an 8-bit "demake" of Mega Man X and X2, with a new/old plot that has X fighting the data of robots from the past. It's enough to drive the action, and doesn't veer too far at all from the original game.
For as absurd as it seems to shoehorn these SNES classics into such limited hardware, Xtreme does what it set out to do, and does it admirably well. The style isn't like the original Gameboy game Mega Man games - the sprites are much smaller here, preserving the original game's sense of scale much more accurately. The trade-off is that sprites have far less detail, but they animate fluidly and are easily identifiable at a glance, and despite some simplifications, the stages all remain similar to the console games' ones. The sound holds up , as well. It couldn't have been easy adapting the rock-style soundtracks to a machine with four sound channels, but they're all here and still just as catchy in their rinky-dink PSG forms.
The gameplay is the biggest surprise, though. Sure, fewer buttons means you're jumping into menus to switch weapons, but the controls are tight and the challenge is stiff. It actually feels like a MMX game!
I loved Mega Man Xtreme. It's not the flashiest or most technically impressive GBC game you'll ever see, but there's a ton of quality gameplay packed into this cart.
*Recorded using Retroarch LCD shaders for that dot-matrix look.

The presentation took a beating in the move from the SNES to the Game Boy Color, but Mega Man Xtreme really nails things where it counts: the game play is dead on, and the difficulty hasn't been neutered in the slightest. Great game!
NintendoComplete Sadly, no FMV intro was included :(.
Yeah, but *very* few GBC games ever tried to do that. That was more something you'd see on the GBA. The PSP remake of MMX has new FMV included, though.
I never understood why companies transition higher-end games to lesser consoles, let alone handhelds
NintendoComplete you can’t say they didn’t try
its way harder than the original, I die to chill penguin all the time in gbc
Never played these ones. But damn...This looks AMAZING for GBC! It's like I'm actually playing Mega Man X...in 8-bit!
It feels so very true to its 16-bit predecessors. This has got to easily be one of the best-looking games on the system too.
Then again, this is only a year before the Game Boy Advance came out.
More like a few months, actually
This is actually one of the best games Ive seen for Gameboy Color, looks smooth
And now I can't help but think about how much I would actually want an X-Files/Mega Man X crossover.
Scully: There's no such thing as robot masters.
Dr. Light: I want to beweeve.
Man this game this me back 20 years. It's just as awesome as I remember it.
It’s honestly better than people say it is
I know MM X-treme came out at least a decade before the term: "De-Make" was coined, yet this game perfectly fits in that description. Also, how about this soundtrack? Fan-f***ing-tastic.
36:39 Very nice touch, Capcom. 2 SF2 moves for the price of one, and way easier to pull off.
.. ….Now when will Dr. Light teach "X" Chun-Li's "Hyakuretsu Kyaku" or "Spinning Bird Kick"??
Fun fact: middy and techno came back in MegaMan x 6 and because they were promoted as actual working reploids that's why there's the green and purple reploid but Capcom never wanted to tell us but instead hide it that those 2 reploids are actually middy and techno
But middy and techno became more taller and upgraded
So cool, I didn’t even know this existed! But then again I never owned a GameBoy Color.
I love this game, I really do, but man do the cutscenes take their time...
(also that newly added animation X does as he lands in the stage is just so badass and beautiful)
I was really upset that this was one of the few backwards compatible Gameboy Color games that didn't allow for Super Gameboy enhancements.
It was going to
But they abandoned it really quickly
@@biggiecheese2544 Likely due to the fact that the game has huge performance issues on the original Game Boy and Super Game Boy by extension.
I also feel since almost all content in this game is copy-pasted from X1 and X2 with little to no changes outside of being downgraded to 8-bit, it would have been a bit silly to add enhancements either way.
probably due to the fact that the game runs like fuzzy on the OG Gameboy, with *a lot of slowdown*
Is that seriously a 5 minute exposition setup for a Mega Man game?
If you think that's a long bit of text intro, take a look at Ikari Warriors 2 on the NES. I'm actually lol'ing as I type this thinking about it.
this is a wonderful demake, the music, the shrunken graphics, and the cutscene ain't bad
Capcom mastered the art of remake and the laziness of re-releases and remasters in modern days, but their team was so good at demakes back in the past
I bought both this game and xtream 2 on 3ds VC. This one I never finished because it was hella hard, but the 2nd one toned down the difficulty by a bit, and I liked xtream 2 so much that I beat all 3 campaigns for it.
I’m the opposite. I find Xtreme to be easy, and Xtreme 2 hard
The first Mega Man game I ever owned. Got it.. I wanna say early 2001, from a (now sadly closed) K-Mart in Temecula, CA. Came with a T-shirt that I was too large for, so I gave it to my brother. Great times.
Total Copy of MMX1 & MMX2, but in 8-bit!
Still a Good Game!
Well xtreme 2 basically is original besides 95% of the bosses
It still has some copied levels too though, with half of the intro stage, Flame Mammoth, Wire Sponge, and Launch Octopus's stages being examples off the top of my head.
0:07 intro theme is like version of Megaman X5 intro theme
If you've played this when it came out, you know that this is one of the most impressive ports in existence. And it looks beautiful, it's just 8 bit and portable. Don't compare it to the SNES, this is one of the best looking GBC games.
20-Year Anniversary of Mega Man Xtreme 1 (2000-2020)
The character art looks gorgeous I can't believe it's 8bit
I should've bought this years ago from the local Play N Trade, but at that time I wasn't into the X series just yet. I know, I know, I should've gotten it regardless as I love platformers. Ah well, it hasn't gone too much in value, but at that time, it was dirt cheap.
TBH, I found this game as an uninspired rehash of X1 and X2. The only thing that is going for is the plot. But that is it.
Fever dream finally found! I knew these sweet sweet tunes weren’t too good to have been real!
Omg I didn't know the street fighter moves were implemented in this!
This game looks smooth. Looks better than the predecessor MM titles on GB.
God i wish i had this as a kid
I just beat this game an hour ago. I’m scared
Cute port 😊👍🏻
Middy's death really hit me.....😢😢😢😢
My main complain is the GBC's garbage sound chip. Hearing all the time the background music being interrupted by X's charging buster sound effect is so annoying.
They demade Megaman X for GBC?
My first video game
do xtreme mode
Megaman xtreme 2 pls!
First to say "Gaty Glasses".
My first Megaman game played (◠‿◕)
can you make X2,X3 for SNES,Xtreme 2,X5,X6 ?
Hey can you make megaman extreme 2
I notice Vile goes by Vava now...
He was always Vava in Japan. Vile in the states.
Thunderblaze16 The clarification is much appreciated...
@@RetroPiero But...why the fuck is he called Vava in the American and european versions?
@@mortenera4423 Likely a translation error, Mega Man X4 also has a translation error on Magma Dragoon's intro where the Maverick Hunters were referred to as the Irregular Hunters (Japanese name)
Megaman Xtreme Plays Looks Like Copy It's Megaman X.
It’s sort of a demake of Mega Man X1 and 2 with various levels from each game and a brand new plot with new bosses.
Grasas a ora me lo puedo pasar siiiiiiiii
Vava vile whatever
