i beat this game like 10 times the other day and got all the achievements, but i'm not sure HOW i got the mystique one, as it won't pop at all for my friend
man, the real charm of this is playing with some friends and laughing at everything. even though the voice acting is different it's still pretty bad. we had one moment where we kept throwing ourselves into the pit to hear the generic yell over and over.
also laughed pretty hard when the ice queen first jumped down and started to talk and then cyclops just punches her in the face and knocks her flat.
overall i'd say this is worth the price of admission just to throw down with some buddies. amazingly got most of the achievements with some oddly cooperative randoms, so now i've only got to beat it in 25 minutes and beat magneto a few more times and i'll be 200/200
Yeah its a game you wouldn't mind wasting a $1 on at a pizza fun time lol zone. The game is pretty similar to TMNT how you fight only one enemy with color swaps and a well known X-Men villain at the end of the level if you were lucky. You aren't expected to beat it and only play it while waiting for your ROFL pizza feast.
When an American release of a game is nerfed, doesn't that usually mean it has the hard difficulty removed and less bullshit on the CPU's part? Or is it different between console and arcade games?
More often than not, when there's a difference, the U.S. version has been harder, or had more bullshit, or some other new way of screwing you over.
if anyone wants to try and get 6 of us together tonight to take a run through, Im game.
Im so, so sick of not getting the Mystique achievement because some random jackass skips the cutscene. It won't pop until you actually SEE Professor X turn into Mystique.
Also my favorite part is easily "UNFORTUNATELY THAT WAS NOT MAGENETO, THAT WAS MYSTIQUE! MAGNETO IS SOMEWHERE ELSE!"
(Magneto is 2 feet away)

Two days ago I got into a 6 player game and saw the entire cutscene, and I still didn't get the achievement. I think that one is a little finicky.

I'm actually having a lot of problems with all the achievements. They're bugged as hell.
I've now beaten expert twice and still not gotten the x-pertise achievement.
I'll start a game up around midnight EST tonight on XBLA. Tag's in the OP or in my sig. If anyone has a cabinet preference speak up, otherwise I'll just go with the American version.
We've got our Turtles. We've got our X-Men. Now Konami just needs to release the Simpsons beat-em-up and we'll have a complete set.
Also that Aliens vs Predators game.
And the Dungeons & Dragons one.
But this is a great announcement.
there were at least two dungeons and dragons ones and they were amazing. I love me some Turtes and X-men but I think the D&D ones were the best.
I loved Tower of Doom, but I could only play it at a place I went to occasionally. It felt like it had just a bit too much nuance (in moves/mechanics, items, spells) to really get a good grasp on, considering its button mashy, quarter gobbling, go go go arcade format.
I think I only ever played Shadow over Mystara once, at a Tilt arcade in a mall that I only went to one time.

Right, the nuance was great, but it felt, I don't know, "wasted"(?) due to the format? It's totally the kind of game I would like to experiment with to figure things out, but at the cost of 50 cents a life (and me being like 13), it didn't really lend itself to the kind of experimentation the game deserved. When I spent my money on it and eventually died to various things, it felt like there was a lot I was missing but with no reasonable means of picking up on it all.
Obviously a console port would have allowed for much better delving into the game's depth, but considering it only ever came out for Saturn, and only in Japan, well, fuck Capcom.
Just like how the console version of any beat-em-up was always inferior.
I've argued in favor of certain aspects of the arcade version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, but usually wind up shouted down.
In a sort of reverse of that, the Battletoads arcade game was the game I always wanted the frustrating console Battletoads games to be.
This.
Get on it, Rare. Bring this to Xbox LIVE Arcade already.
Seriously. I didn't want to spend my childhood hours falling off a rope wire into a chasm or crashing hover bikes into walls. I just wanted to punt rat-men into orbit.
Those D&D games came out for Saturn too. My brother and I had to import them but it was totally worth it.
Too bad no one owned a Saturn. Also, it turns out it didn't come out on the Dreamcast and I was just huffing glue in my post above. I'll fix it since Saturn and Dreamcast are pretty well interchangeable when it comes to install base.
In 1999, Capcom released both D&D arcade games as a 2-disc compilation on the Sega Saturn called Dungeons & Dragons Collection in Japan. Dungeons & Dragons Collection was never released in the United States and Europe due to the Saturn's poor financial performance in both regions.

I'd like to meet whoever was responsible for NES Battletoads, just so I could ask them why they hated children so much. Is a simple side-scrolling beat-em-up too much to ask for?

I'm wondering if it's worth it or if I'm just being tricked by memory like I was with TMNT 1989
Which was neat for the thirty minutes it took to beat and then I never played it again

I'm still waiting on my port of the actual ninja gaiden arcade game.

Is this because it's not Konami, or because it's EA?
If it's the former, Ubisoft has/had Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and I think Activision has X-Men, yet both of those worked out.
