Let's Play X-Men ep 2! Expect musings on budget friendly sprite reuse, the mechanics of super jumping, Cyclops engages Terminator mode, and... is Gambit is still cool? Featuring elevator pits that deal way too much damage.

I remember playing this game as a kid and being absolutely horrible at it, as well as its SNES companion. It's been much more pleasant to watch. :)

Yep, same here. Although I remember having a lot of fun playing this with friends despite not getting very far.
Which SNES companion do you mean? The "Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge" or Capcom's "X-Men Mutant Apocalypse"?

I don’t recall being more excited for a game as a kid. I got it for my eighth birthday and hated how hard it was and restricting powers to a meter was such a dumb choice. Then years later I found the debug cheats and it was much more fun. Plus the Magneto theme is SO sick.

Let's Play X-Men ep 3! Expect musings on Psylocke's screen time and the only instance of branching paths. Featuring ginger haired henchman that think they are so cool.

*Addendum to the commentary where I'm talking about Mojo: his deal as a villain is that he is a parody of television executives. He rules a dimension where, among other things, the power structure is dictated by television programs. Mojo keeps a population of slaves and enjoys creating gladiator-style reality shows.
Next episode will be the start of the Wolverine + Nightcrawler playthrough.

@chocobop Arcade's Revenge. I must have attempted the Wolverine/Juggernaut stage dozens of times.

Ah, I've only rented that one a little bit. On the SNES I sunk more time into X-Men Mutant Apocalypse, which still kicks my butt and I've never beaten it. A really flashy and appealing X-Men game though.
