I totally saw this coming. I really did. I was sitting in my home the other day and I thought to myself, “Man, I have not spent enough of my quarters recently.” And lo and behold, Marvel has announced that the game that took ALL of my quarters back in the more comforting days of Chuck E Cheese visits will now come to PSN and XBOX 360 Live! Arcade – X-Men Arcade.
You all remember this game. You HAVE to. We all would stand around the machine and someone would have to play Colossus because his power up sound was unforgettable (oooaaaaaarrrrrghhhh!!!!!!). The home version will allow 1-4 players with six player drop-in multiplayer as well as brand new different difficulty settings. You’ll be able to play as Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Colossus, Dazzler or Nightcrawler – which is more than enough, believe me.
Unfortunately, the worst part of the announcement is that there is no release date. However, nostalgists like myself will assuredly not really care about that aspect, because we’re all too excited to be able to play this game in our own homes (because it’s a bit creepy when we stalk Chuck E Cheeses for machines…).
Go and save the city!!
