    I don't mind having to push a button to get the claws out, as long as they stay out until I tell them to retract again. That's a big part of the fun of pretending to be Wolverine - the SNIKT as the claws come out

    In the Wolverine NES game, they should've had his health slowly recharge if you're not using the claws. If you select them, his health doesn't but you do more damage. It gives players more an option. Do more damage or have you health drain slower.

      We all had that problem during the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. We just didn't have a way of knowing if a game was any good unless we had gaming magazines or we heard something about the game from other players through word of mouth.
      If you didn't have many friends with your console or a subscription to a gaming magazine, you had to hope for the best when buying a new game, since you could only see a glimpse of the game in action by looking at the game's cover and the pictures in the back of the box that the game came packaged in.

    Mutant Apocalypse on the SNES was the shit, but Clone Wars is pretty good, too.
    The claw retracting mechanic is usually done in such a way that Wolvie's healing factor only kicks in when his claws aren't out. That clearly took some time to figure out, and even though it doesn't make in-universe sense, I think it works from a gameplay standpoint, if executed well.

      Yes, but it seems people, especially liberal minded people, prefer using the term human or person instead of men when referring to bothe men and women. That's why humankind is replacing the term mankind, and I beloeve AVGN himself said humankind in one of his doublevision videos

    I feel like the Wolverine game is a little TOO accurate to the character. Like, his claws actually do hurt him, it's just that his healing factor keeps them in check. Dude is actually in constant pain due to having his adamantium skeleton.
    Healing by using beer also checks out. Wolverine drinks so much, that only an Australian can accurately portray him.

    CAPCOM fighting games like “X-men children of the atom” and “X-men VS Street Fighter” are gorgeous🔥🔥🔥

    I love the arcade beat em up. Played with one at our local toyshop of all places back then. The panoramic screen looked awesome!

    5:45 I don't know why but this makes me laugh everytime. Watching him get cheaply killed by a freezing enemy

      The irony makes me laugh: *ICEMAN,* the mutant that *FREEZES* things, is frozen by the enemy.

    I just think it's funny at 2:20 at the top of the cartridge they spell it enteractive instead of interactive....just struck me as funny

    Apparently LJN was purely a publisher, i.e. they didn't develop a single one of their games. Thing is they never actually credited the developer, and it takes some digging to actually find the information. Would you believe that such classics as "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", "The Amazing Spiderman" (gameboy), and "Beetlejuice" were developed by Rare? Atlus did a handful of LJN games as well, possibly including this "The Uncanny X-Men" game.
