Konami’s classic X-Men beat-’em-up arcade game is coming home (again) with a new release that brings together an eclectic mix of 8-bit and 16-bit Marvel video games, Konami, Marvel Games, and Limited Run Games announced Wednesday. In addition to undeniable classic X-Men: The Arcade Game, the Marvel MaXimum Collection will also include titles like Captain America and The Avengers and the infamous Silver Surfer game for NES.
Marvel MaXimum Collection includes six old-school Marvel titles across 13 versions of those games, which were originally released for the arcade, Game Boy, Game Gear, NES, Sega Genesis, and/or Super NES. While the big draw may be Konami’s influential X-Men arcade game released in 1992 — which was digitally rereleased on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 back in 2010 — there’s a lot here for Spider-Man fans too. Spider-Man/Venom: Maximum Carnage, Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety, and Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge are also included as part of the collection.
