X-Men

About

Released by Konami in 1992, X-Men is a side-scrolling arcade brawler in which players choose from six Marvel mutant heroes — including Cyclops, Colossus, Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, and Dazzler — to battle waves of enemies across multiple stages. The game is notable for supporting up to six simultaneous players on a single arcade cabinet, a feat unmatched by other brawlers of its era. Each character brings distinct abilities to the action, encouraging cooperative play as teams work through Magneto's forces together. Originally designed for dedicated arcade hardware, the game later became available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Android, and iOS, introducing its cooperative beat-'em-up gameplay to home audiences. Its combination of recognizable characters, large player counts, and straightforward brawling mechanics made it a landmark entry in both the arcade and licensed-game genres.
