At the New York Comic Con Marvel and Konami jointly announced that they will be releasing X Men The Arcade Game on XBLA sometime in 2011. For the uninformed X Men The Arcade Game was a 1992 beat-em up that allowed up to six friends to take on the roles of various X Men in their battle to take down Magneto. Each character has a special “mutant ability” that would clear all of the enemies on a single screen.
Players are able to choose between Cyclops, Colossus, Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler or Dazzler. All of the original art assets and cheesy voice acting are being carried over from the original arcade title. New additions include the ability to play the Japanese version of the game and online co-operative play for up to six people.
As more information is available on X Men The Arcade Game we will be sure to bring it to you.
