   In comparison to the PSP remake (Maverick Hunter X) and the original SNES version, this looks extremely shoddy and cheap. It doesn’t look like a lot of love or effort was put into this at all.
   The Sonic CD iOS port, on the other hand, seems to have fared alot better.

   Am I missing something? It looks damn near identical to the original.

   Yeah, kinda looks like what I’d imagine Mega Man X to look like on the iPhone. If it’s anything like the Mega Man 2 port, it must be borderline-impossible to play without real buttons. iOS really isn’t the right system to port console games to.

   Why are Capcom stuck in the SNES era when it comes to iOS music?

   Um, this is an emulated core SNES game with higher-res versions of the art. Like how Super Mario Allstars was of the first 3 SMB games.

   What an abomination indeed. The run cycle animation seems to be missing a few tween sprites, some of the particle effects are rather woeful (especially noticeable on the electric pulse thing that happens around MegaMan when Vile grabs him).
   They’ve introduced screen transitions, which was essentially something that they really tried to remove from the SNES MMX game, which appear to ofer nothing to the game at all.
   All challenge has been removed as there’s a “purchase all health tanks” option.. grrrr..
   The impact sprite transition for bullets also seems a little off in places.
   iOS is not a good platform to port MMX to as or MM games in general as these really need the tactile buttons.
   Also ugh, they’ve gone with the old MMX cartoon art, oh why did they do that, now everything looks so so.. MM has lost his charm and now looks too glossy..
   Poor form Capcom.. poor form.
