In the Wolverine NES game, they should've had his health slowly recharge if you're not using the claws. If you select them, his health doesn't but you do more damage. It gives players more an option. Do more damage or have you health drain slower.

You were not the only one. We all had that problem during the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. We just didn't have a way of knowing if a game was any good unless we had gaming magazines or we heard something about the game from other players through word of mouth. If you didn't have many friends with your console or a subscription to a gaming magazine, you had to hope for the best when buying a new game, since you could only see a glimpse of the game in action by looking at the game's cover and the pictures in the back of the box that the game came packaged in.

Mutant Apocalypse on the SNES was the shit, but Clone Wars is pretty good, too. The claw retracting mechanic is usually done in such a way that Wolvie's healing factor only kicks in when his claws aren't out. That clearly took some time to figure out, and even though it doesn't make in-universe sense, I think it works from a gameplay standpoint, if executed well.

[@trevorblue4531]

A good idea they should have ran with in the Wolverine game is his health recovers unless he uses his claws. Claws do more damage to enemies, but with no claws, your health recharges. It gives a players a choice. Having the claws damage you is stupid. At 9:50, Is that Jubilee?

+Ri Dragon And his real name is James Howlett. "Logan" is just a nickname.

[@TripMcSleazestack]

He's from Darude Sandstorm

[@phdonme1]

And he's only 5'3" WHAT?

[@jamesc.2054]

Necro thread. Specifically he's from Cold Lake, Alberta.

The enemy roll call is hilarious lol 😂

[@Theshark15z]

11:42.....no but you lose the mutant power energy when you have the claws out too long.

[@tbr2109]

Apparently LJN was purely a publisher, i.e. they didn't develop a single one of their games. Thing is they never actually credited the developer, and it takes some digging to actually find the information. Would you believe that such classics as "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", "The Amazing Spiderman" (gameboy), and "Beetlejuice" were developed by Rare? Atlus did a handful of LJN games as well, possibly including this "The Uncanny X-Men" game.

The best Xmen game is Xmen mutant apocalypse on the snes, that one is flawless, somuch fun in there, the attacks on every character are perfect, the stage design is flawless, everything is awesome. How come the gameis not mentioned here :/

[@supersonics5000]

No is not

[@nld8985]

Of course he knew about it... He knows about every game... And he has made a point of pointing out later good games in "series" before... I'm curious as to why he didn't bring it up

LJN did Maximum Carnage. That was good.

That beat em up on the genesis?

@@mdragarg AVGN reviewed the SNES version.. was there a GENESIS version ?

[@pridakfan253]

@@legrandgougoulilumine6940 Yep, I own it. It comes in a red cartridge like the SNES version and everything. It's identical to the SNES version just with slightly toned down graphics and more Genesis style music.

CPU AI is tough to make well. Almost all the time I've seen it done, the CPU is worthless or so good that you can just sit back and let them do all the work.

[@fulanitosherman]

2023 and still watching these videos. You are my hero men!

[@ShinkuGouki]

That intro song is dope af. Your reviews are honest and hilarious lol

[@DamenDesantis]

I just think it's funny at 2:20 at the top of the cartridge they spell it enteractive instead of interactive....just struck me as funny

[@personalaccount7130]

That opening anecdote really shows how compassionate of a guy James is.

[@superfanboyguy]

If I remember correctly, when the timer on the mojoverse stage gets low, after you hit the computer, it will actually say reset the system.

[@mariofan794]

"All they did was recycle the same character and color them all different". How ironic that LJN of all companies predicted NFTs.

[@nathanmasters115]

Wolverine: Adamantium Rage on the SNES was great, but also a little confusing.

[@robo-nidai4236]

The same could not be said for the Sega Genesis version.

[@ziljin]

sega genesis xmen was pretty fun

[@kitsunekid16]

ziljin fucking loved that game. already have a genesis so i need to shop amazon i guess lol

[@kitsunekid16]

ziljin loved playing as nightcrawler

[@ziljin]

Urban Kitsune all of them are fun. iirc nightcrawler has teleport attack, wolverine can climb walls with claws and beast can hang off of poles. cool stuff.

[@Kiwijr2579]

I had the second one and I loved every single aspect of it. The explosions are like extasis XD The only thing that scared me was the Sentinels' base and its boss :)

[@MalcH]

Kiwijr2579 yes! I really loved x-men II for genesis when I was younger.. It played pretty well hehe

[@waveexistence3512]

If I’m feeling down, I can watch these videos and they really help me feel better ❤

X-Men 2 Clone Wars is a phenomenal game. Really great music too.

I just heard the same joke in the Deadpool 2 movie.

[@rebelfleettrooper9881]

What same joke?

[@gravynegrodick]

@@rebelfleettrooper9881 the whole "X-Men being sexist" thing

[@ambushbugz]

Avgn, the best video games reviewer of all time. Thank you for your time sir. As a snes/nes/sega fan i really appreciate it

[@Technoblast649]

The reason it hurts Wolverine to use his claws in that game is because they actually Do hurt him. They aren't a mutation. They were put into his body. It hurts him but he regenerates when they retract again.
