I recommend playing through it at least three times. Mega Man X4 takes about an hour and a half to complete with one character. The only real difference I’ve noticed was an extra fire effect in the first level and a slightly different sounding theme for the first boss. The Sega Saturn version is once again more expensive and costs around $50-60. You can get it for about $5-15 or get the X Collection on PS2 for about $20. Mega Man X4 is one of the more common PS1 games. It would not be an X game without a Street Fighter reference. Overall, Zero is just a much smoother and more enjoyable character to play as. The story from his perspective is also much more interesting than X’s. His abilities include a fire uppercut, a downward thrust, a spinning attack and a double jump among many other useful abilities. Also, the weapons Zero gets from bosses are activated by simple button combinations. For one, he only uses his Z-saber, meaning you have to hack and slash your way through enemies. Fortunately, Zero is a completely different story. There is nothing wrong with playing as him per se, but we have seen it before. Despite those enhancements, playing as X is actually sort of boring.
MEGA MAN X4 SEGA SATURN UPGRADE
He does get an interesting buster upgrade where you can ‘store’ a charged shot and use it later, which is the opposite of how it has worked for the six years it was in use. These allow him to hover or reduce his weapon energy usage to next to nothing. He does get some really cool upgrades in the form of armor parts. X controls as per usual Mega Man standards.
