X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse (SNES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@NintendoComplete]

Capcom really worked their magic on Mutant Apocalypse. It's easily one of the best X-Men games ever made!

[@chunky9269]

This was a good game but I think it could have been one of the top 10 SNES games with some tweaks. It was a little too short and they got a little boss happy at the end. I still have fond memories though. Thanks for posting!

[@drakewoody2506]

I'll have to agree. This game was great and loads of fun. my 10 year old self just wishes you didn't make it look so easy lol.

[@slaterock4612]

Back when I was kid, seeing Sentinel burst through the elevator like that for the first time was one of the most amazing things ever in this game, that and seeing Brood Queen. Apocalypse's stage theme was and still is phenomenal. I used love playing this and War of Gems, my friends and would take turns playing and would sometimes designate who would play who. Great games and good times.

[@toyvania]

This game had bits of every good game from Capcom: Megaman X´s music, Demon´s Crest sound effects and gritty atmosphere, Street Fighter moves and huge colorful sprites, Final Fight gameplay, and a good difficulty and addictive fun factor.

[@nigma195]

Yeah I notice alot a similarities with megaman X in it's style. Even the fight with magneto reminds me of the final boss on super guals n ghost

[@MuzzySkeleton]

Glad to see that bouncing between enemies as Beast and Psylocke was the norm 🤣 . This game was the bomb, I got it in summer of 95 and immediately got immersed in it. Gambit and Psylocke were my faves.

[@Artimidorus]

I'm confused on how they are able to do that. Every single time I tried, Beast just becomes completely non-responsive when bouncing and gets hit. Psychocke was also a pain. She had a different attack every time to the exact same attack combos (the same one I've been using since SF2 as a kid when it first came out), which basically ended up with her just completely bouncing around. I was actually coming here to have them confirm this was a TAS run. I say this also because they seemed to have a LOT more s than I do, as I've used some attacks and actually been knocked out of my mutant attack (specifically that Sentinel with Psylocke) that this player just literally phases through and walks through without being hurt.

[@angrytheclown801]

Remember when comics were fun and we trusted Marvel with their own properties? Here you go!

And when Capcom made games that didn't feel totally lifeless.

[@rayclemons9568]

A classic game from the SNES era. And one of the best games of 1994 right next to Megaman X and Demon's Crest.

[@chrispysaid]

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting HEAVY MegaMan X vibes from the soundtrack?

[@jonnyblanka]

Yup! I feel like the game uses the same engine.. Feels and looks like Megaman X.. with huge X-men sprites instead.. which is NOT a bad thing! :)

[@rockmanxcommand]

Yup

[@rafaelnesi]

And the other is where he's voice responsive and electronic, where he watches over my room with a crystallized stare. And I said, crystallized because his visor land is crystalline.

​@@DetectiveStablerSVU I think he means that he wishes Cyclops wasn't such a wimp in the movies. I've only seen the first three, but Wolverine hogged too much of the spotlight and you could barely tell that Cyclops was supposed be the strong-minded field leader of the X-Men. His stature felt significantly reduced for those of us who were used to his 90's cartoon adaptation (he might've been a bit vanilla, but he held his own).

[@AxelLaw]

FACTS

[@macdaddymario]

​@@megavolt67 The results were in. Wolverine was the fan favorite. And any writer that is trying to write movies, gives people what they want. Thus Wolverine's focus was pushed more in the subsequent films.

This is an awesome X-ample of a good license-based game! I remember playing it in my youth, and replaying it in contemporary times makes me want to say it's a great effort by Capcom! (Years after watching a subpar Screwattack Video Game Vault review, go figure) And the only X-Men game by Capcom where you can actually *play* as Beast... You probably made this in light of Marvel vs. Capcom Infinity's trailers, huh? Out of curiosity, how does this hold up compared to X-Men 2: Clone Wars? And I'll definitely go on record to say that X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse > X-Men on the Genesis in the sense that I don't have to put up with a level that requires you to softly reset the game in order to progress.

[@NintendoComplete]

vgaoct91 In all honesty I totally forgot about that coming out soon lol. I just really like the game :) I like it better than either of the Sega games for sure. I didn't mind the reset in that one.

Ha, Capcom doing the old trick of dropping enemies on you in the elevator shaft ride (a staple of their beat em ups) although this might be more platform than beat em up. I love Gambit's level themes. His first one actual sounds eerily familiar from a wrestling theme in the early '90s from the wrestler Greg the Hammer Valentine. I remember my little brother getting this game for Christmas 1994 I want to say, and us just having a ball playing it. We beat it a few days after Christmas but we kept playing it over the next few years.
