This X-Men Didn't Come Home

Walking into the arcade and hearing collosus roar over all of the other cabinets. Those were the days man.

I’m playing storm so I’m not standing next to colossus

Yes sir this proves that you were there lol 😆 colossus no joke loudest thing ever in the arcades.

RAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Missing juggernaut twice with nightcrawlers power cuz ur zooming around randomly and he's running

Lol or thinking ur about to clear the field only for nightcrawler to hit 2 sentinels...

[@superpaul79]

5 iconic X-Men, and Dazzler.

Instead of Phoenix, Rogue and Shadowcat… They gave us friggin' Dazzler… 😑 -> 😒 -> 🙄

Her power wasn't too shabby, though.

[@Azammaza]

So hard to find. Still too this day, I don't think I've emulated it. Like what system even runs it. 🤷

This was released on Xbox live arcade on the Xbox 360 with options to play the 4 player, 6 player, english, and japanese versions as well. So it did eventually make it to consoles.

[@IrishKyokushin]

Is it available on the Series S/X?

[@ckingch]

@@IrishKyokushin I have no idea, since the 360 was the last Xbox console I've had, but I doubt it. Liscensing and whatnot.

Just imagine being 8 to 12 years old, and you walk into the arcade room and see this monstrous cabin for the first time it blew your mind away... game is awesome, one of the best next to tmnt

[@Elnegro8527]

Took my weekly allowance every time

[@SharifSourour]

Yeah this thing was a behemoth back in the day! So fun to play on that huge arcade machine as a kid. Cool that it’s playable on one screen for MAME since I only ever saw the 2-screen setup.

[@Theshark15z]

I think that was the Deluxe Cabinet that had 6 player setup.

[@krisfrederick5001]

I will never forget playing the 6 player X-Men in the arcade at the mall attached to the food court as a kid. Epic. "WELCOME TO DIE!!" P.S. I love how the voice of Wolverine is Australian in the Pryde pilot, then Hugh Jackman ends up with the role. A bit of foreshadowing I'd say.

[@paxhumana2015]

Also, in a long awaited clap back to this game, in Marvel Vs. Capcom 3/Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, as you know, Magneto said, in the game in this video, "X-Men, welcome to die". However, if you put Deadpool against Magneto, one of the quotes that he says is, "Magneto, welcome to die". Now, the fact that this is obviously a long awaited response from Capcom to Konami about that game is patently obvious, but what makes it more humorous, as well as ironic, is that Deadpool was ALSO a member of the X-Men himself.

[@raymondhemphill146]

Man, I LOVED playing this game at Haunted Trails (Chicago suburbs)! This game, the Capcom arcade game The Punisher, and the Data East arcade game Captain America and the Avengers were all awesome!

[@kitbct1444]

"A succulent Chinese meal" 😂😂 Great work Top Hat. I'm sure that reference was missed by a lot of viewers here.

[@powerturtlebusters]

That little detail when they were falling when night crawler telephoned to avoid hitting the ground is everything.

[@Consolous]

Huge fan of the X-Men and Beat 'Em Ups so this is heaven sent. Now I'm going to cover one of their themes immediately. It looks so fun

[@kailig9190]

I have this on my Xbox 360, and from Arcade1up 3/4 scale home arcade cabnet. Always loved feeding this game quarters when I was a kid playing it in the arcades.

[@willchurch8376]

Lee and Kirby would have been proud to hear your narration of this old school gem. Well done.

[@emanueljackson1728]

I'm sure Claremont and Byrne would have been even more proud

[@willchurch8376]

Because they wrote the X-Men back then? Fair, but I was referring to the narration stye, that bombastic, over the top excited tone that was so characteristic of the older guys. @@emanueljackson1728

[@JayBlackheart]

Used to love playing this game which was a 6 player 2 Screen Cabinet at the Tilt! Arcade in Saint Louis MO back in the 90s and early 00s

[@ckingch]

Man, I played it at the Tilt, too. I was hyped when I went through and saw it there, I was like "wuuuuut?" lol.

[@timraup4888]

It's definitely on my bucket list to play through the entirety of the X-Men arcade game on a six-player machine with five of my friends. I've only had once opportunity to play the 4-player cab, and it was awesome, but it's been ages.

[@unicron8soundwave724]

Arcade 1UP seriously helps the nostalgia of my Childhood.

[@fernandod4046]

I'm so glad my arcade has the X-men arcade game

[@Drew_D]

One of my all-time favorite arcade games! 😁 Also, I believe that the Arcade 1UP comes with the Avengers arcade game.

[@timdryer]

As a 13 year old boy I actually wrote Konami begging them to release this game for the SNES. The actually wrote me back saying they weren’t going to .

[@ClarityGolden]

Used to play this on the way out of Super K Mart with my brother lol. I got it on my snes mini too.

[@Jalaniz316]

This is by far the most detailed description of a side scrolling beatem up. Well done

[@jsbphoenix1]

This Xmen, TMNT turtle in time, and The Simpson was godlike back then in arcade

[@chriscarmack1016]

Me and my Uncle spent so many quarters on this game at Myrtle Beach when I was a kid. Great memories.

[@davidmacias1270]

You knew you were in a real arcade if this was on the floor!👌

[@commanderginyu3298]

This was on the apple app store a long time ago

[@faerieknight2298]

I fortunately bought the X-Men arcade game on Xbox 360 when it was available. And it's still installed on my 360. Fun game, still. The thing that I remember the most about the game in arcade was... the fact that in the 3rd stage Nightcrawler's "mutant power" would frequently get me killed due to the teleport spam stopping over a pit. That, and the voice lines. Such as Magneto saying "Welcome to DIE", and "I am Magneto, master of Magnet". Not that I ever got far enough personally to experience that, but I watched others do so.

[@ProfessorHurt]

I have this game on my PS3 (that Simpsons Arcade, Scott Pilgrim, and TMNT: TiT Reshelled) and it's one of the few reasons I still play my PS3.

[@TheNewFNShow]

We had an arcade in my town and it was 5 floors up in a building downtown. As soon as you get to the top of the steps there was a glass double door and right when you walked in to the right was a 6 man X-Men cabinet. Sadly it closed in 2005 but the 10 years before that was awesome. That place had everything but the X-Men Arcade game was my favorite.

[@abehemothbeast866]

If only they done a game just like this but set in the AOA universe :), thank you dude, keep up the good work yeah :)

[@hitmanmonaghan6633]

At Magfest, this game was in the arcade section. For some reason the volume was really loud, so when Colossus did his special, you could hear the roar throughout the hotel. There is a rule that you can’t do the roar because it could disturb the other hotel guests.

[@IrishKyokushin]

Even when it was originally in the arcades it was like that. You could always hear it at the other side of the arcade.

[@BruBoyz]

This is why I love the new Handheld PC’s cause I’m able to play these games whenever I want. Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, Die Hard, The Simpsons, TMNT, X-Men Vs Streetfighter and many more games that I grew up playing 🤘🏾🔥

i remember as a youngster expecting xmen the arcade and the simpsons arcade games to get home ported to the super nintendo but never did

[@firstlast8114]

As a child i played xmen on the nes on an 8 inch black and white TV with a really fuzzy signal. Still better than most gaming now.

[@marcustuggles8761]

I remember playing this at South of the boarder in 91 when my family and I were driving back to Philly some south or North Carolina and nightcrawler was my go to. In Jan 2011 I brought it and Simpson for 10.00 each! So glad to have them in my ps3 and look back at my childhood! Thanks for this video !!!

We had the 6-player version at our arcade and were friends with one of the managers, so we got unlimited plays whenever we wanted because they were making bank on SF2. The chaos of 6 players using their super simultaneously was so incredible. Top 5 arcade beat em up all time.

I would lead a team with cyclops. We would talk like we were x men. When it was time, I’d tell the team to back up as I’m about to beam Blob. Soon as he’s down, I order colossus to punch him.

Hey, Top Hat Gaming Man. You should definitely do a video on Battle Circuit. It was Capcom's last beat 'em up they released for the arcade and its only came out in Japan and Europe in 1997. Too bad it didn't get a release on any video game console until the release of Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle in 2018 on modern consoles (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch) for the first time. Would you mind doing a video on said game?
