Top 10 X-Men Games

[@Sjono]

Remember when X-Men were a bigger deal than Avengers? Pepperridge Farm remembers

[@ingonyama70]

As do I. The first Avengers animated series, "United We Stand", wanted so badly to be the X-Men animated series...and then they didn't even include their Big Three.

[@vincentphillips2577]

So true at least in the comics and the animated series the x men seemed a lot cooler due to their unique powers that they were born with for the most part.

[@m2k33311]

@@ingonyama70 Never understood why Fox/marvel didn't include them

[@ingonyama70]

@@m2k33311 Iron Man had his own solo show at the time, with a small cast of West Coast Avengers. Captain America had a film being made, but it had a bottom-of-the-barrel budget and was a bit of an embarrassment. Thor...ya got me, I have no idea. Maybe his power set was too similar to Storm's?

[@seantrice1176]

X-men men still are a bigger deal than Avengers to me. Always.

[@manrightchea]

I miss X-Men Legends 1 and 2, I wish I could get a high-quality HD upgrade for those.

[@Sjono]

We haven't had a great X-Men game in a long time

[@Launchpad05]

We haven't had a good 'X-Men' game since 'X-men Legends 2'.

[@thenerdygamer5749]

I agree I'm glad you bought that game up I think I'll go back and play it again

[@JustAPrinnyDood]

Blame Disney / Marvel

[@ironmaster6496]

Sjono we havent had AN x-men game in a long time

[@techfrank2431]

Are they gonna put X-Men on marvel vs capcom infinite?

[@az_esteemed]

I think this countdown was spot on, except for one glaring omission: X-Men 2 - Clone Wars on SEGA Genesis. Better than its predecessor in many ways, and I think was one of, if not the first, X-Men game to have Magneto as a playable character when unlocked. C'mon now! Opportunity missed, ScrewAttack! (Even if it only got an honorable mention.)

[@GO-GO_SO-SO]

0:04 Knuckles in the background is proof positive that ScrewAttack! does read comments on their videos. Remember when that Knuckles plush toy use to be facing down like it was trying to give itself head? lol Well last Thursday I remember making a comment pointing that out. Now today, Knuckles is sitting upright.

[@mastanvx]

You Tuber Correlation does not imply Causation.

[@drpepper4761]

Umm where is X-Men 2 Clone wars?

[@xenalin1]

same question, but it's the honorable mention "#11"

[@olschoolTonyCarter]

Where is Wolverine adamantium rage?

[@skelingaton1833]

ol' school Tony Carter not on the list where it belongs

[@alphared920]

Secret number 11

[@CyclopsWasRight]

That was my thought after watching this. It was far better than X-Men on genesis.

[@felman87]

X2 Clone Wars had a stage select (it was a code). I think you mean the first level didn't let you choose a character. It was interesting in that as soon as you booted up the game, you were in the first level with a random character. No logos or credits. So you could just press reset until you got who you wanted. After beating that first level, you could choose your character for each level.

[@TokenBlackman7]

How did "X-Men 2: Clone Wars" and "Wolverine: Adamantium Rage" *NOT* make the Top 10?!

[@AdlerPostHC]

I was just waiting for Mutant Apocalypse to show up. So good.

[@RookiexLee]

Xmen 2 was wayyyyy better than the first one on Sega. I love both, but it's not even close.

[@antra21]

To you.

[@MidoriDad]

Oda Yes! Clone Wars had no equal!

[@BigMac8000]

You speak the truth Oda, it was the only thing I could think of. They kinda let historical importance trump "best" in the categories. I literally still listen to the soundtrack of that game, it's so funky but like the rawest synth soundtrack ever.

[@DeletedMediaYoutube]

They actually released the soundtrack too! It was made by one half of Information Society most famous for What's on your Mind (pure energy)

[@DeletedMediaYoutube]

Also I completely agree. I thinks the best X-Men game, period.

[@VixXstazosJOB]

with that number 1 though piercing my nostalgia...... I MISS 90'S CAPCOM SOOO BAAAAD - sniff -

[@ingonyama70]

The MUGEN community uses the MvC engine to create some pretty fantastic fan-made fighting games. Look up "Super X-Men: Children of the Atom" for the follow-up game we deserved. Of course, I had some nitpicks with its roster, but the beauty of MUGEN games are, they're customizable. I have my own version of the game with over 100 characters from the MU, primarily focussed on those who are or have ties with the X-Men universe.

[@chaoticjusticezero]

Glad you guys remembered the awesomness of X-Men: Children of The Atom.

[@krisfrederick5001]

So many good memories at the arcades, MK the actual X-Men arcade game 6 player. Primal Rage etc. The quarter machine running out of quarters and having to get the big black guy to help us. We loved him

[@BinkyStaIIs]

X-Men > Avengers

[@xmaverickhunterkx]

X-Men > Any super hero team

[@dylanandino4759]

Oh yeah definitely, they're great as a team, each character manages to be interesting by themselves, and are very entertaining to watch and read

[@justcullen9304]

Uncanny avengers>both of them

[@infinitygauntlet5251]

Sergio Garza Fantastic four >>>>>> xmen >>>>> avengers.

[@DogOfHades]

5:54 Did you just call John DiMaggio (Bender, Jake the dog, Marcus Fenix...) a terrible voice actor?

[@ingonyama70]

He isn't. His ACTING in that game was terrible. Then again, there were some amazing voice actors in that game -- Patrick Stewart, Armin Shimmerman, Steve Blum, Grey DeLisle-Griffin -- and even so the performances felt incredibly wooden and forced, except during victory quotes. I blame poor voice directing.

[@Frogggle]

Can't believe he called storm a support character

[@theartoonnerdologist411]

Anyone really love the x men

[@Charlie_Tea]

Excellent list! I've never played or heard of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and now I'm playing it! Sick graphics still for it to be on the 360.

[@RokuroCarisu]

The best X-Men game is X-Men Legends. Because it is the only game that could be bothered to do Jubilee justice!

[@TraiHarder]

RokuroCarisu and Emma was pretty great in Legends as well a surprise to me to have been put in the game.

[@siqaraminmassaquoi9285]

Right! After the 90s cartoon it's like Jubilee barely existed anymore

[@dakliq420]

And one of the few times you got to actually play as Beast.

[@OurFoundingLiars]

The xmen were based on the studies of Japanese Children during the effects of ww2. Scientists hypothesized that their was a chance for the children could gain strange "uncanny" abilities, such as turning into metal and control of ice. . When the files leaked "project:xmen" in the 60's the government hired Stan lee, already famous for works like captain America, to create the comic book Xmen and discredit their findings. Oh I also have no idea what I'm talking about. Keep asking questions

[@TevyaSmolka]

Great list man on these great x-men games as a whole

[@snoopdawg21]

X-Men Next Dimension was my personal favorite X-Men game, surprised nobody really talks about it anymore

[@JoaoAgile]

X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse! Amazing stuff!

[@RoIllustrations]

Great list! However, everyone always tend to forget about the gem of a fighting game called 'X-men Mutant Academy'... 😢

[@D21BeastReviews]

Ro Illustrations I haven't forgotten. I think elitists back in the day overlooked the series in favor of Capcom titles and now nobody remembers them.

[@TurtleDude05]

I was thinkning the same thing. That game was great!

[@aperkins07]

I had that game. It was ok for what it was, but it would get old pretty quickly. Definitely not a repeatable game

[@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

There are two games sorely missing from this list. 1) X-Men: Next Dimension. Amazing arcade-style fighting game, probably my favorite one. Featured The Blob, Toad, Dark Phoenix, Sentinels, Havok, Lady Deathstrike, and a bunch of others as playable characters. And the environmental interactions were amazing. 2) X2: Wolverine's Revenge. Best X-Men game ever at the time, such awesome combat systems, great storyline, and it really felt like you were playing as Wolverine. I know Next Dimension sorta flew under the radar, so it can be excused, but the fact this game wasn't even mentioned is a travesty. A TRAVESTY, I SAY!

[@ironmaster6496]

xOldSkoolHollywooDx im more of fan of mutant academy 2

[@kupidzheart]

next dimension was mad good, I liked Havok and Juggernaut

[@douglasdebose3339]

You said exactly what I was thinking

[@ingonyama70]

I enjoyed Next Dimension for a while, but I admit, it lacked the polish and visual punch of the Capcom fighters. Still had an incredible roster, though.

[@DOGGAMMA]

They need to make a MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3 FOR THE PS4.

[@D21BeastReviews]

JAYDOGGY Marvel Heroes Omega is the closet we've got so far, but it's just not the same. Also if they made a MUA3 today, the X-Men would get completely ignored. Look at Lego Marvel 2!

[@DOGGAMMA]

I want another MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3, but the same format as #1.

[@EhvinnTee]

I got bad news for ya, bub. Switch exclusive.

[@crimsonvoid1595]

I'm surprised X-Men: Legends wasn't on here. That's a good game.

[@bignacio87]

I got chills watching this. Thank you

[@xenalin1]

Clone Wars on Genesis at #11? wth. Also "no level select"? I think you meant no _character_ select, and that's only when you boot it up the first time, just beat the level or die and you can pick a character...

[@dingle2987]

I agree. It’s fast paced nature, two player co-op, and it not restricting players power usage like the first genesis game nets it up there with the SNES game.

[@quizmo1000]

6 player X-Men Arcade is the best. My personal favorite is X2: Wolverines Revenge. Anyone remember that one?

[@TheJFrost1117]

I can't believe how many of these I had. I loved both Genesis games, when I was a kid. X-Men 2 let you play as Magneto once you beat him.

[@pabz426]

No x men mutant academy?

[@ViroVeteruscy]

Apocalypse: I shall name him... Hand Guns!

[@MrHowe09]

Hey! These are great videos!!! Keep it up Turbo GRX16!!!!!

[@katsasgeorge]

No X2 Wolverine's Revenge ? Not even honorary mention ?! Bad foooooooorm, Nick.

[@draxenjinxren1040]

i had the GBA version of x-men: the official game, however i soon realized when i want to find a guide for all the secrets for the game that there were like 6 other ports and each had a different story and 4th playable character other than wolverine, iceman, and nightcrawler. needles to say but i never found a guide to it

[@jaeusa160]

A great list, I played a number of these as a wee lad and have fond memories of some of the top choices.

[@thtkidfrmvab]

X-Men Mutant Academy 2????

[@SuperKokuJin916]

Someone forgot to mention Sega Saturn's ARCADE PERFECT port of X-Men vs Street Fighter...C'mon!!! This was the first time in history we had a truly arcade perfect port at home. That was a milestone worth mentioning. The PSX version was neutered garbage.

[@correydarden4261]

X-men origins Wolverine is THE BEST xmen game in my opinion, even now that game puts a grin on my face, that game is one of a kind

[@mikebyson7662]

I absolutely loved Street Fighter v Xmen.

[@williamholtzclaw3029]

You wouldn't like wolverine's fist when they're hungry, but that's their secret cap, they're always hungry

[@spaincain2763]

I felt like x men next dimension wasn't bad

[@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

Spain Cain Yeah, easily my favorite X-Men arcade-style fighting game. Unless you count ones that featured the X-Men but weren't X-Men exclusive, in which case, Marvel vs Capcom 2 took that cake.

[@CaptainFedora]

2 of my uncles actually worked on X-Men for SEGA Genesis. So they knew what the binary code the comes out of the satellite dish as shown at 6:18 translates into. The translation being "Send Women."

[@tuunod]

Captain Fedora seems legit

[@joelfigueredo1168]

Captain Fedora cool seems legit

[@RevTn]

Haha

[@SofaK1ingN1c3]

The first send nudes meme

[@eli_eli1o]

X-Men 2 Clone Wars was easily top 3 material for this list. Furthermore, you didn't get stages at random. it took you through each stage one by one, like all old games did.

[@ingonyama70]

He meant the character select at the start. You were randomly assigned a character and dropped into the Siberia stage. Though it wasn't that random, as I always got Gambit when the game booted up.

[@kylenguyen7371]

Curt Clark Wasn't there a means of tilting the odds towards certain characters while loading that initial stage?

[@kida9598]

All you had to do was reset the game till you got someone you wanted.

[@eli_eli1o]

Maybe that's true. I only ever played the 2 player mode (i was lucky enough to have a brother). With 2P mode you could select characters. So I guess I never noticed the forced character selection.

[@kida9598]

Eli I you can reset it on 2 player mode to. The first level is always random characters.

[@iLLeag7e]

"God bless you, Capcom."

[@Sutsu]

So THAT'S where that MAGFest roar came from!

[@Torterra625]

YES! NO BLUE APRON AD AT THE START! *sigh* Oh, thank Galactus.

[@alexthelizardking]

Xmen cota is a good #1 choice with its over the top action and jaw dropping visuals which still holds up.

[@kylenguyen7371]

At #4, the Genesis X-Men game was actually one of the cartridges I owned during the late 90's/early 2000's. It really was a rush of a game, with a clever 4th Wall Break in Mojo's World (Stage 4 or 5), and an equally clever level skip cheat that effectively sees you hacking the Danger Room. With that said, people are quicker to recall the awesome that was X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse, as well as X-Men II: The Clone Wars.

[@ingonyama70]

Clone Wars was amazing, but it would have benefitted from the addition of backup X-Men. I can never have enough Storm in my X-Men games, even as I freely admit flying characters kill the challenge of platform games.

[@cs2372791]

i forgot this channel still existed

[@bruceleeds7988]

when X men vs Street Fighter came in at 7 I thought COTA wasn't even going to place. So to see it come 1st... THANK YOU!!

[@purifyws]

I think this list is spot on! I was about to say something about X-men 2 missing, but I see it's tacked on at the end lol. That game was also good. Speaking of being notable too, I would have mentioned that very Psycho Mantis-y part of the game where you have to literally reset the console to keep the game going on the Genesis. That was way ahead of its time. Long live COTA. If it had Gambit, it'd have been perfect. I had it on the Saturn :)

[@StuUngar]

I had a SNES and I begged for a Genesis for Christmas just for X-Men. X-Men and Road Rash 2 were worth buying a Genesis in and of themselves

[@jonathanalcon1947]

Can you do the ice king vs mr. Freeze?

[@bru9383]

I may have not so much experience with X-Men, but even I know of those games that made history related to them

[@TomMcD71]

Great list and the #8 a Quake mod cool

[@ultimatebob9062]

My favourite is Marvel vs Capcom Infi... oh wait

[@CaptainKirk]

am I the only one that remembers the Mutant Academy series? literally fantastic

[@dakliq420]

Ultimate Alliance has Cyclops,Wolverine, Storm,Iceman, Colossus, Nightcrawler,Magneto,and Sabertooth in it. If we're counting Lego's Marvel,the Ultimate Alliance absolutely counts.

[@Neoxon619]

I'd imagine that this video hardcore triggered Ike Perlmutter.

[@diamondmaker425]

1. X-Men Children of the Atom 2.X-Men 2 Clone wars 3. X-Men the Arcade Game

[@cohollow7174]

the x-men legends games are still my favorite games of all i time. i was just playing the second one yesterday

[@maddestmike5791]

The most important requirement for any good X-Men game is Wolverine being in it.

[@ingonyama70]

that's what the game devs believe. For my part, I'm a Storm fan.

[@alexclark13]

Welcome to die!

[@JohnnyBurnes]

Mega 64 shirt? Y'ALL TURNED HEEL! On topic, Xmen was the first Genesis game I played, and it was on a RENTED console! Remember when you could do that? Even rent VCRs? For their X-Men tape they got from Pizza Hut!?

[@felipesalvatierra805]

See. This is why the X-Men are a more iconic team than the Avengers. Well, that's my opinion at least.

[@ingonyama70]

And mine.

[@KraullerVB7u7]

Phoenix vs Raven UnU please Nice top :3

[@ingonyama70]

Raven is a sorceress, the daughter of an evil cosmic entity. Phoenix is, in and of herself, a cosmic entity. ...I hate to say it, since I love Raven, but it really is no contest. Look for the 8s "X-Men/Teen Titans" crossover to see what I mean.

[@chrisa6212]

I'm glad Children of the Atom made number 1. I didn't think it would even make the list but it's such an awesome game

[@parrishharris3008]

Every game you listed was correct- 👍👍👍.

[@m2k33311]

X-men Legends 1 and 2 were my favorite games playing,MUA 2 and of course anything capcom fighting games with Xmen.

[@slinger0083]

I beat x-men arcade once with my dad and friends once and it started over, so we got to keep playing.

[@kleberson777]

I hope there is another X-Men Legends game where we got fund to manage our base, upgrade our unit and goes into battle like XCom

[@DragonMikeP]

man you guys forgot about x-men clone wars

[@zooropa04]

"Blue Frazier" definitely made me laugh out loud.

[@SALAMDLARRY-s4b]

X men mutant academy 2 for ps1 should be on this list. It had awesome controls it was fun and dove into the back stories of the xmen. The roster of fighters was excellent

[@Jaster_Mereel]

Arcade's Revenge?!? Loved that game as a kid!

[@Coolman13355]

I just learned about the X-Men FPS TODAY from a PC Gamer article about weird 90s FPSes and their take was well different.

[@Coolman13355]

So since Craig has revealed that #8 is somewhat of joke entry, this makes more sense.

[@Uchihaopbrian]

No mutant academy?.. wow

[@petersimpson4648]

I WAS the kid with the Genesis.

[@spike914]

How do you forget Xmen 2 Clone Wars?

[@ingonyama70]

They didn't; it was an honorable mention. The character select problem at the start of the game was the reason they gave for not placing it on the list. That, and the video maker is a self-proclaimed Wolverine fanboy who had to have Origins on the list.

[@therealPayne]

FYI, Raven got it's balls cut off by Activision and only do Calladoody map packs these days. So there's not gonna be any more awesome Wolverine games and you can thank Activi$ion for that.

[@mrmorbowski]

I love me some Dazzler! X-Men arcade would be number 1 on my personal list, although I do love me some Children of the Atom. I was sad to see Clone War didn't make the top 10.

[@mittjy5749]

Ooo make some more X-Men battles I got some Magneto VS Madera Psylocke VS Hiei Gambit VS Hisoka Cable VS Future Trunks Magik VS Asta (black clover) Mystique VS Chrollo (hxh) Rogue VS Ryuko (kill la kill) Mr Sinister VS Orochimaru Sabretooth VS Katakuri (one piece)

X-men? what are those? those are some pretty cool functions tho

[@tj112286]

Does anyone know the name of the song playing at 10:10?

[@shadowking13X]

The xmen arcade was my top favorite and nightcrawlers teleportation was awesome!!!!!!!

[@TrueBackLash]

Why does everyone want to dog out Dazzler? She's hot and she had the most useful power in-game after Nightcrawler.

[@ingonyama70]

Dazzler is a child of the 80s, much like Jubilee was a child of the 90s. Neither of them have aged very well as pop culture changes and their character designs remain rooted in long-dead fashion trends. I still like both characters, but it's hard to update them. The Ultimate Universe tried to turn Dazzler into a punk-rock star, but they ended up just turning her into an all-round terrible person.

[@kylenguyen7371]

Curt Clark Meanwhile, they made Jubilee a vampire. Not sure if that was permanent, or if she got her powers back.

[@Nasibu83]

Kyle Nguyen I think it is. From what I heard she left the X-men to live with a bunch of non-blood sucking vampires, adopted a child and was never brought up again. I don't think she's coming back, hell she didn't even pop up to say goodbye to Wolverine when he died.

[@nostalgicgamer1363]

[@WreakinHavocOnU]

Great list.

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

I agree with these 10 games, *or* at least the ones I've played. Can't agree with the order, though. A pet peeve of mine is *any* game where a slow filling meter limits your powers. It is so *lame* when Wolverine is apparently "too tired" to use his claws and has to punch normally. XP

[@gomezganigondwe5603]

X-men mutant academy 1 & 2 on the PS1 were quite good

[@aylonspiegel8993]
