This is really such an bittersweet ending... X won, but he didn't want to fight anyone. At the end it's shown how X remembers all the mavericks and surely regrets that he had to destroy them even if there was no other way.
Agreed, the line "I will find other bodies strong enough" is a clear Mega Man X2 spoiler. What would make this a bigger spoiler is if the line read, "I will find other bodies strong enough to do my bidding, such as a centipede with magnetic powers, an ostrich with speed powers, a snail with Crystal powers, or a moth with morphing powers....."
I swear, every first main megaman game’s ending is so good. Megaman 1: Rock running home in the credits and willing to fight for peace in the future. Megaman X: Having a bitter sweet ending, with X wondering if he has to still fight on and was there an other way to avoid more death and suffering. As credits roll, X is running down the street like the first Blue Bomber. Megaman Zero: X telling Zero that all these years without him, he grew numb of fighting and now is leaving it up to Zero to sustain the peace, ending with Zero fighting an army of Neo Arcadian soldiers. Megaman ZX: Vent/Aile promising to protect the innocent and ends with them running down the street like from Megaman 1 and X1. Megaman Legends: Volnut and his gang leaving on a ship with everyone cheering them has heroes. All these endings is engraved in my memories and I cherish them a lot.
The song transmits a lot of nostalgia, megaman X had to fight a lot against the Mavericks who were his colleagues previously, he wanted to solve things differently but there was no other option but to fight; the song transmits glory and rest at the same time, Megaman X finally proved triumphant and managed to defeat the invincible Sigma =)
Who else tried and failed to get the "how long will he keep fighting?" Achievement in the x legacy collection just to realize you need to wait for the after credits.
@@alexmorpheus6762 In case anyone else comes here with the same question: There's nothing else to do, so either reset or turn off the console. It's par for the course for a lot of games of that era.
This was the first megaman game I've ever finished, could never do it in the old ones since they were so hard, it's one of my happiest childhood memories. Seeing X going up the highway while the credits roll with that sweet melody in the background still gives me goosebumps just like when I first beat it.
Megaman X was my first Megaman game. I've since beat Mega Man 2, Mega Man 10, X5, X6, X8, and Maverick Hunter X. But this one...this will always be the best.
The Sigma cyborg is out there. It can't be reasoned with, it can't be bargained with. It doesn't feel pity of remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop. Ever. 5:49
When game developers said "we don't have to hand the player a happy ending," and got IMMEDIATELY slapped down by the Zaibatsu Investor board for no goddamn reason
I wouldn’t have minded if this had been a single self contained story. This ending is incredibly poignant and epic, X2 could never live up to this amazing conclusion.
Know something my dumb brain just now realized? The cast roll where X runs along the Central Highway is a homage to the ending of the original Mega Man, complete with the time of day changing.
Man this really takes me back, I forgot how much I loved this entire sequence. Although knowing what I know now, when I saw "those who sacrificed themselves will never return" I damn near spit my coffee out laughing. Zero's in how many games now?
@@MegamanNG I know right, I mean the whole next game's plot is kinda "oh shite we forgot he's a robot, change his battery 'n' stick his legs on he'll be fine, just find all the bits eh"
Sigma- you may have won this game, but I will be back the next game the next game the next game the next game the next game *Sigma's screen shuts off* Lady- Phone call for x Sigma- the next game, the next game, the next game, the next game, the next game... X- ALRIGHT SEE YOU NEXT GAME because these executives at capcom are so hungry for one anyway... you will go down like our first battle and your the definition of virtual insanity no funky white singing boys because all you do is gloat the same damn pretentious dialogue, but I always destroy you in the end.
the post credits sequence setted up the sequel, like six months after the war sigma did came back in a new body and got to see x again. and as you already know, he would always return in every sequel. only in the final sequel mega man x8, sigma finally died for good and then that was the end of the series.
my older brother got this game while i was playing the old Nes. i thought holy shlt... this is such an amazing difference... from getting a game over in friday the 13 telling me "you and your friends are ded game over" to this nice cheerful music. my 8 year old mind couldnt take it
Watching this in July 2023 makes a giant tidal wave of absolute nostalgia wash over him. The Golden Hawaiian Swordsman Dragon GREATLY misses the 90's, especially Golden old school 90's games like MegaMan X!!!!!!👍
It was VERY sad...but as an eight-year-old watching Zero commit that selfless act of sacrifice in the name of comraderie and the pursuit of the greater good, it cemented my love and respect for the entire Mega Man franchise. I was at the right age where I could even begin to understand why he would do that, and for it to be such a poignant and emotional moment for me in spite of the lack of cutscenes.
This is even more sad if you haven't upgraded your x-busters before the fight against Vile. After that fight, Zero gives you HIS busters before dying. That was some intense shit for me as a kid but it was motivating me keep going and defeat Sigma once for all. When I got it I was so happy I did it but when the music kicked in, I literally cried the whole time. I feel now that those emotions were important to feel and process.
I wonder if the fact they didnt bother adding Sigma's ominous message into the remake meant they werent even planning to hint at an X2 remake. Just imagine him with in his voice saying in a cocky yet eerie tone on a cracked monitor saying the same phrase.
“Zero, of course the martyr Zero; who never returned and died on this game for real.” ~~DSPGaming (Megaman X play through) Me, after playing X2- *Wow really*
Dunno I guess old games weren't programmed to reset by themselves after you finish it because ocarina of time didn't reset either after the ending credits if you waited for a while after the credits were done you could hear some really weird ocarina music at the end of the game
The iOS credits suck! On easy and hard mode they only have the ending and on normal mode there are only the Mavericks+other characters! It's terrible. (Note: we still have sigma taunting us too.)
I Love MegaMan X Ending Song And MegaMan X Brought Popularity Peace To All Reploids And I Wonder What Happen To Storm Eagle After X Defeated Him Before He Saved The World And He is Now Popular I Do Know That Sigma Will Return With a New Body After Storm Eagle Returns For His Revenge And I'm Sure Someone Will Be There To Give Storm Eagle To Get Revenge on X And I Think X Will Discover Storm Eagles New Body So Yeah I Hope it Happens Next Because I Think Storm Eagle Will Return Like Sigma Will With a New Body And X Will Defeat Storm Eagle Again Like He Did Last Time And Now X is Popular Now He's Ready To Face Storm Eagle Again in MegaMan X Storm Eagles Revenge And I Can't Wait For That To Happen in The Next Game So Yeah Bring Out The Next Game And Also Bring Out Tony The Tiger If Real Kellogg's Frosted Flakes For His Sega Genesis Games And I Love Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Cereal And Tony The Tiger The Mighty Tiger So Yeah Bring Out The Tiger 👏👏👏👏Bring Out The Tiger 👏👏👏👏 The Mighty Mighty Tiger I Love Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Cereal And Tony The Tiger Said They're Grrrrrrrrreat And That Song Called Bring Out The Tiger in You is Awesooooooome And I Can't Wait To See Tony The Tiger in Space Jam 3 Cause Tony Knows How To Play Basketball Like Michael Jordan Does in Space Jam 3 And I'm Sure He'll Do His Basketball Moves Once They Add Tony in to Space Jam 3 And I Hope He Do His New Move And Not Get Push Around By An Old Mr Alien Himself Named Mr SwackHammer Who Got Launched In To Space And I'm Sure He'll 've Back For Space Jam 3 So Yeah I Love Tony The Tiger And Kellogg's Frosted Flakes

The worst thing Is that many of them were his friends like Chill Penguin, Storm Eagle and Boomerang Kuwanger
im not crying, you are
Megaman always had a Bad Ending. :(
He feels this way because he literally killed all of his friends.
“Maybe only the X-buster on his hand knows for sure….” This is poetry
If the X Buster could talk:
IM THE DEATH EMISSARY,AND NOW YOU ARE GOING TO PAY
"But those who sacrificed themselves for the victory will NEVER return..."
Zero: *Are* *you* *sure* *about* *that* *?*
Vile: *Are you sure about that?*
Sigma: i always come back
“I shall see you soon X, very soon”
Lol very soon was right, only a year later when X2 was released.
And in the storyline, it was only a few months since their first battle when the events of Megaman X takes place.
@@thecrazedbroccoli 6 months to be exactly.

Yeah nope... he comes back for like what? 10 games? (counting Mega Man Xtreme as well)

This makes me cry! What a great ending!
The ending theme does things to me. Pure melancholy. It's stunning.
at the very end when Sigma pops back up that scared the s*** out of me when I was a kid
Same here.
Eli Garcia can you still play the game after sigma pops up?
Jun Liang no you can't. The game resets after that.
@@dlanovil Welcome to the retro era of videogames, where you had to reset most of the games to continue playing them after you beat them

This ending is the inspiration of my creativity.
One of the finest games to ever be crafted. The “And you, as Megaman X” hits different.
Those who sacrificed themselves for victory will never return..... the next game focuses on bringing back Zero lol

Plot-wise? Sure, fine.
Gameplay-wise? Hell no, the X games are enjoyable as hell (most of them at least).
Completely agree.
I remember beating this game for the first game at 2:00am, and I’m about to turn off the snes only to hear the creepy music and sigma out of no where
RIP good nights sleep
The last theme is so damn good
Know something my dumb brain just now realized? The cast roll where X runs along the Central Highway is a homage to the ending of the original Mega Man, complete with the time of day changing.
Anyone else find the part where Sigma reveals that he's still alive to be scary?
kinda...
So many childhood memories..... 🥺
"But those who sacrificed themselves for the victory will never return"
The biggest lie in history

Zero is dead and the Mavericks destroyed almost everything but at least you win right?
Childhood
Best game of all time.. One of them at least.
One thing I never understood.... in the stage descriptions, why is Armored Armadillo's stage, in a mine, called the GALLERY Stage?
Sometimes people commits mistakes, even a team do that, it was Capcom of USA fault.
Capcom often does errors like that ._.
No offense to them.

I dolt know how they make us feel bad for a robot
I kinda wished something like that happened within the original series, in which Protoman saves his brother at the cost of him getting destroyed.
Sigma’s speech at the very end should have been a post credit scene instead
Man, the drama of seeing Sigma at the end of the credits. Good times.
I wonder if the fact they didnt bother adding Sigma's ominous message into the remake meant they werent even planning to hint at an X2 remake. Just imagine him with in his voice saying in a cocky yet eerie tone on a cracked monitor saying the same phrase.
