The reasoning behind the delay was that it "had just gotten lost in Sony's back log of games waiting for approval". However, after persistant talks with the company, Capcom finally convinced Sony to allow Mega Man X4 a localization on the PlayStation. Neither Mega Man 8 nor Mega Man Battle & Chase were initially approved by Sony as well. Originally, the American localization of the PlayStation version was put on hold after Sony Computer Entertainment America denied Capcom permission to release it in the United States. A "Special Limited Pack" edition of the game included a Mega Man X action figure. Two new Tanks have been added: a "Weapon Tank (W-Tank)", which will fill up all of X's special weapons and an "EX Tank", which increases the character's default lives from two to four whenever the player continues from a save point.īoth console versions of Mega Man X4 were released in Japan on August 1, 1997. Two "Sub Tanks" can also be found, which can be filled with life energy and then be used to replenish the player's health at any time. The player character's maximum health can be extended by obtaining a "Heart Tank" in each of the eight stages.

However, Zero cannot upgrade any of his body parts in this game.
Rather than acquiring weapons from bosses, Zero learns special techniques such as the "Hienkyaku" air-dash and "Kuuenbu" double-jump.
The Z-Saber's power and accuracy compensate for its lack of range. Zero is more melee-oriented than X by using a "Z-Saber" sword. In some stages, the player can find hidden capsules that contain armor upgrades that greatly enhance X's capabilities. These weapons have limited ammunition, displayed by a meter next to one's health, both of which can be refilled by picking up power-ups dropped by destroyed enemies. A new weapon is given to the player with each boss defeated while playing as X. It can be charged to fire stronger shots. X wields the "X-Buster", a plasma cannon on his arm that he uses to attack foes from a distance. Though both of them go through the same stages, they operate differently and are challenged differently from the terrain. Every boss is weak to a particular ability, adding an element of strategy to the order in which the player completes the stages.Īt the beginning of Mega Man X4, the player chooses to play through the game either as X or Zero. Each of the eight initial stages contains one Maverick boss, and defeating this boss gives the player a new ability. Some levels contain ridable vehicles such as hover bikes and armored- mecha.

The player character retains the capabilities from previous entries in the Mega Man X series like dashing and scaling walls. In these stages, the player must avoid obstacles like falling debris and spikes, and destroy enemy robots to reach the end of the stages. The player is presented with a series of action- platforming stages that can be cleared in any order desired. The gameplay in Mega Man X4 is similar to the previous installments of the Mega Man X series. The game begins here where either X or Zero is dispatched to investigate possible causes of the disaster only to become entangled, once again, in a struggle against Sigma to save the world. Mayhem breaks out when the Sky Lagoon, a massive floating city, is sent crashing down onto the city below it, killing millions of civilians, humans and Reploids alike.
To make matters worse, behind the scenes, General has been meeting with a mysterious figure who plots the Hunters' demise, insinuating that they are a significant threat to the jurisdiction of the Maverick Hunters. Six months following the inception of the group, Cain Labs finds its methods to be ineffective, questionable, and potentially dangerous in the Maverick defense. The army, called the "Repliforce", is a strict regime led by General and his second-in-command, Colonel. Taking place in an ambiguous year in the 22nd century (21XX) and following the third defeat of the "Maverick" robot Sigma, Cain Labs issues an initiative to create a supplementary military force to complement the "Maverick Hunters". The storyline differs slightly depending on whether the player chooses Mega Man X or Zero.
