CLassic Xmen Arcade game coming to PSN/XBLA

During a panel at New York Comic-Con this morning, Marvel executives announced that a deal had been met with Konami to rerelease a certain beat-em-up of old. Simply titled X-Men, it was a sidescrolling action affair fondly remembered for it's six-player co-op and campy charm. The intent is to stay as faithful to the original machine as possible, with both offline and online multiplayer. Online play will allow for up to six players, who may freely drop in and out at any point during gameplay. Even the so-called "cheese" will return, with players both new and old facing Magneto, the master of magnet.

There was a trailer shown during the panel, which will be added to this article as soon as it hits the Internet. Until then, you can go ahead and YouTube footage from the original game... and welcome to die.

THEY NEED TO RELEASE THAT OLDSCHOOL WRESTLEMANIA GAME TOO FROM THE ARCADES...

wow thats crazy cant believe it really is dropping...

yeah i agree with the posts in that article, release the simpsons throwback too...

do arcades even exist anymore? lol besides by beaches and boardwalks , i mean thruout any "cities" , anyone got a arcade?

Yes they do in Denver...although I personally wouldn't classify it as one...it is technically an arcade...

they only got like 20 games and some pinball machines...and no game worth playing, but yeah they are pretty much dead all over America, but you go to Japan and they are very much alive

Arcade Infinity (one of the last alive arcades in America) is about 20 mins away from me. A lot of the top so cal fighting game players will play there.

But definitely gonna try out the trial for the X-Men game. If it translates well, copped.
