    Do you agree with my choices for the worst to best X-Men games released on the Sega Genesis? Let me know your rankings!

    Nice to see Clone Wars get some love. It's really a forgotten gem on the system which is a shame.

    Clone Wars doesn’t get enough love as one of the best Genesis games, but it really is.
    Great video, man. Nice little blast from the past and you ranked them exactly how I would.

      The game could have been better if they made a beat em up like their rivals Konami. NOPE! Capcom gave us a one player platform beat em up hybrid. In fact it's OVERRATED!🤯

  • @alexcourtney9053
    @alexcourtney9053 2 роки тому +7

    I'd say this is a very fair assessment and I agree with your ratings. The first X-Men game is flawed but there's still some fun to be had if you know what you're in for. Clone Wars is one of my favorite Genesis games and really just favorite games for any system. My only complaint, besides some difficulty spikes, is that the cut scenes are entirely text based. Wish they had worked in some more comic style art. It's super anti climatic beating the game and getting a wall of text with no art for a game based on such an artwork driven medium.

    • @RetroKingPin
      @RetroKingPin  2 роки тому +2

      Thanks for mentioning Alex. For me, playing through Arcade's Revenge a ton in the 90's was my first exposure to an X-Men game. Clone wars definitely takes the cake for the best Genesis game.

    As a kid every X-Men game was a difficult or frustrating weekend rental. It may have been because I played the arcade beat'em up first.
    I really like this franchise themed review format.
    Great work!

    Clone Wars is one of my all time favorite 16-bit games. Played the hell out of it with my buddy back in the day. The music is up there with Streets of Rage 2. I still listen to the tracks every now and then.
    The first X-Men was fine, but the power meter is one of the dumbest features ever. The sound design is really strange, even back in the early 90s it was odd.

    I had Spider-Man and X-men as a kid. Omg I hated this game. I spent so much time dying on each level. But as a kid with a sega, I had limited games so this bs and the sega James Bond game had to do for a little bit

    You didn't mention that Magneto is a playable character in X-Men 2: Clone Wars. Also, the content was great except for the cringe jokes. It was like watching a really bad AVGN episode from 15 years ago.

    @deathcold_longplaysua4846 Рік тому

    For me, X-Men 2 Clone Wars is the best on Sega's console. Also, why didn't you mentioned that you can later unlock Magneto and play as him? Cause, it is really fun to play as him. Also, this game has intro, but only after the prologue level, which is turns out to be a danger room training, if you pay attention to what game says to you. And also, Beast can jump from wall to wall or stuck to wall, and you can upgrade your health by finding more DNA around the level. And if you max out your health, then your character abilities would also become more powerful.

    Right order of worst to best, but X-Men 2 isn't that difficult. In fact, both Adamantium Rage and Arcade's Revenge are more difficult.

    Wolverine on the Genesis was not that bad at all and I have to disagree on the level of gameplay with you,it wasnt that hard to play. I love Xmen 1 and Clone Wars. If you want a game thats worse than Wolverine,play Wolverine on the NES.

    3:07 🤣🖕 jim I remember 9 year old me reaching that reset part and it did confused the fuck out of me a god damn huge wtf moment like mgs psycho mantis boss fight so I started looking everywhere in the stage for something to interact like a computer a lever a switch or anything to proceed finishing the stage and then started pressing every button on the controller one at the time then combining them until I was just button smashing and stil refusing to press the reset button on the console and telling my self no way the game wants me to press that reset button especially knowing it restarts the damn game so out of frustration I turned off the console✌️yes twice so on my 3rd attempt I finally pressed the reset button🤯😳😐😠😤😡🤬😖😮‍💨🙂🖕fuck you jim well at the moment I was cursing whoever was responsible adding this type of method to proceed in a game but I loved playing it and haven't for years so ty now I'm gonna play it again and get a couple more grey hairs but at least I'm gonna be able to save my progress this time around
