X-MEN (Arcade)

Konami's X-Men Arcade Classic Headed For XBLA And PSN

At a Comic-Con New York panel, Marvel revealed that Konami will bring X-Men, its side-scrolling arcade beat-em-up from 1992, to the Xbox 360 and PS3 as a downloadable title.

Fans of the game remember that you could play as one of six X-Men: Cyclops, Colossus, Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, or Dazzler. After blasting through Sentinels and boss characters from the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, it was off to Magneto's Asteroid M to save Professor X and Kitty Pryde.

This port will feature drop-in online multiplayer supporting up to six players and variable difficulty levels.

No release date was specified. We'll have more details here as they come out.

Now if they'd just do the same for the version of AVP then I'll be in arcade heaven!

i loved streets of rage, i have fond memories of me n dave staying up till all hours -i was pregnant and couldn't sleep, and we played it till we finished it, happy days when i didn't have to get up at stupid o'clock for work

A local arcade (yes there are still a few in the world) has the old X-Men cabinet.  I played it a few months ago, and had a blastee.

There's a strong nostalgia factor, so the game is probably going to be more enjoyable for us older gamers than the younglings.  Hopefully they update the game with some slicker graphics and maybe some more characters (... Dazzler??? Really???)

Don't count on it. Knowing the Xbox Live Arcade this will be $15 and be nothing more or less than what came on the old machines.

Shakes needs a little magic in his life.   

Super Meat Boy being released at 800msp instead of 1200msp for the limited time of 1month (til Nov 21st).

Is that not magical?
