Rockman X2

“Mega Man X2 (known in Japan as Rockman X2) is a side-scrolling action platformer developed and published by Capcom (published by Laguna for Europe) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on January 1995. The second game in the Mega Man X series (and the sequel to the original Mega Man X) players reprise the role of highly-advanced android Mega Man X who gains some of the major upgrades unlocked from the previous game (plus new upgrades such as the ability to detect secret areas perform a Dash in mid-air store two charged beams at once for quick successive strikes and perform a powerful screen-clearing attack). Set six months after the events of the original Mega Man X (where X destroys Maverick leader Sigma and his forces at the cost of the destruction of his mentor Zero) X becomes the leader of the elite Reploid police force Maverick Hunters. As the Maverick rebellion kicks back up X must destroy a new group of Mavericks while hunting down the remains of Zero (taken by the X-Hunters a trio of powerful Mavericks consisting of Serges Agile and Violen). Along with upgrades to the games mechanics and graphics the game includes an in-cartridge enhancement chip (Cx4) that allowed the game to use limited 3D wireframe graphics (including rotating and scaling effects). This technology would later be used in Mega Man X3.”
