5 Old-School Beat ‘Em Ups That Could Use a Comeback

X-Men

Recommended Videos

This was a no-brainer, right? If there’s one beat ’em up that survived the extinction of the arcade it’s Konami’s classic, X-Men. It was almost guaranteed that if your local movie theater had an arcade, you would find the Marvel classic somewhere in the lot. X-Men came out at the perfect time when the franchise was on top of the world, and has become a staple of X-Men history.

Players are able to choose from six X-Men including Cyclops, Wolverine, Colossus, Storm, Nightcrawler and Dazzler to stop the villainous Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil from wreaking havoc. It’s been a while since X-Men was last re-released, the last time being on mobile. Even if Konami can’t capitalize on the X-Men nostalgia, maybe Marvel Games can find a studio that can.
