Willing? Sure. 😀
But please understand, I can’t prioritize this right now. I’ll try to get to it eventually, but it’s not something I can handle right away. (I *think* I know where it is, but finding it could be a tough first step on its own.)
Been really excited to get this out there!
Arranger feels (surprisingly?) great on mobile, especially at 60fps now. And you can finally support it with your money!
I never did get around to that one. I should!
Hope you like it! It’s also brave enough to have lots of alternate costumes and actually tell you where they originated.
And make sure to drive cars and listen to the radio—it’s like GTA for kids with DC deep cuts.
One of superhero gaming’s greatest hidden gems. Definitely the best non-LEGO superhero games aimed at kids—with enough Easter eggs and deep-cut costumes to entertain adult DC fans as well. Genuinely hilarious at times too.
Get it before the license expires!
You are not alone! I wrote this Insider Insights section for @brettweiss.bsky.social’s SNES Omnibus.
Thunder thunder thunder Thundercats?
So good.
Another quick bit of X-Men Arcade 2010 history: It was announced at the Marvel Games panel at New York Comic Con 2010. I wasn’t there, but I’m glad this person filmed the reveal.

Entirely possible! 😀
Cap is the real surprise for me. It had lots of ports in its day, but outside of Arcade1UP, I’m pretty sure this is its first true home release.
done a few pswaps and a playerselect for some of the games in the new marvel collection. intend to do one for Spidey/X-Men when i have a rainy day / desire to not profit from my efforts
This seems like a good capper to this thread. May add more some day.

Finally, here’s the thing about Silver Surfer: As I learned via a Game Genie invincibility code a few years back, if it weren’t so punishingly difficult, I honestly believe it’d be regarded fondly…even with Mister Sinister as the game’s inexplicable final boss.
He’s No. 8: youtu.be/dWHV-A3PtCI?...
Remember the book I mentioned earlier? Never finished the sequel, but I did complete the Separation Anxiety chapter…
Yeah, check out the video I linked to if you’re curious. The actual programmer states it was just the main track and everything else was internal.
Have fun! That game gets a lot of flack, but I’ve always loved it.
Still proud of the Maximum Carnage homage I played a role in for Marvel Heroes.

The one song they actually contributed? 😀 Nah.
In conjunction with the then-new animated series, Maximum Carnage made me go from liking Spider-Man to loving him.
Made this video about it, also featuring @blarcade.bsky.social, @brettweiss.bsky.social, and @panelstopixels.bsky.social. youtu.be/jPm8Ei0QjuU?...
Thank YOU, Nintendo Legend!
Arcade’s Revenge has a naked Cletus Kasady. And can you guess who the “queen” is here?
(Both featured in my old book about superhero games: c-bake.com/oldcomicgames )
Cool the NES Cap and Avengers is here too!
TOTALLY different game…that also completely ignores the existence of Thor (can’t remember if Wonder Man made the cut, like arcade).
Its Mount Rushmore is so dumb, but I love it.

Captain America and the Avengers was one we always wanted to port but never could, and I’m glad to see that’s changed.
It’s arguably localized worse than X-Men, including the “Mech Taco” seen in the trailer. Weird name! But legend has it, it’s supposed to be “Tako,” which is Japanese for “octopus.”
My personal biggest contribution to X-Men 2010 was deciding if re-recording dialogue meant “making it good.” I said no way—the people demand “welcome to die!”
Pretty sure I nailed that one.
I wrote this PS Blog entry back then: blog.playstation.com/2010/12/13/m...
I was happy to learn my friend @julianspillane.bsky.social is behind the LRG port of X-Men.
I’m under the impression that means a different port than 2010—which also means I’m wondering if the VO had to be re-recorded again. Back then, there were no records of the actors, so we did ‘em all over.
When I was at Marvel, I was ecstatic we managed to get X-Men on consoles for the first time ever in 2010. That feels oddly recent—but it’s been almost 16 years. It had “only” been 18 years since arcades at the time.
This was the trailer. I insisted it end the way it does. 😀 youtu.be/04QyqMuuAtA?...
This is incredible to see. So happy @limitedrungames.com is making this happen!
As you may know, I’ve got a lot of personal history here, both personal and professional. Here comes a thread where I’ll include at least one fun bit of fun trivia for each game in the collection.
Lots of Sega Spidey, too. And I wonder if The Punisher and Uncanny were just deemed too bad. 😀 There’s other LJN stuff, so those are the most glaring omissions.
Yeah, I’ve heard you like that game. 😉
Congrats! I’m kind of astounded this all exists as one package.
You said it, Chewie.
Actually a fun shooter with the Game Genie invincibility code.
