X-Men - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 ноя 2010
- Today Our favorite Nerd will go up against the X-Men video games for the NES and Sega Genesis. The NES games (the Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine) are unfortunately published by LJN, complete with horrible graphics, bad hit detection, unrecognizable enemies, frustrating level designs, and health going away faster than you can say "Welcome to Die!" However, the Sega Genesis (X-Men and X-Men 2: Clone Wars games) are far superior, so the details and flaws on those games are best explained in the episode itself. Also, keep an eye out on how Wolverine's claws evolved from not available to permanently playable.
Note: Ever since the episode's release, the X-Men arcade game has since got ported to Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.
This is Angry Videogame Nerd episode 69

Yeaaaaah.... EA and “good game” haven’t gone together in a very long time. LoL

THE 69 EPISODE AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAH
Zak Johnson Its a reference to Zoey 101 you uncultured svvine
There was a cancelled X-Women game planned for the Genesis.
@@vvaveflakz It's a Spinal Tap reference actually ^^

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
Could be useful if there was a missions where you must limit the casualties..
*Terminator pops both kneecaps: "He'll live"*
I was just wondering if you’re pretending to be Wolverine right now?
@@wizcorn9958 Listen, bub....
Wait, doesn’t Wolverine have a healing factor? Shouldn’t he be able to regenerate health? And how does colossus even take damage, I thought he was bulletproof?!
to my knowledge, the only wolverine game where he can heal is the x-men origins game.
@@gregorymirabella1423, he can also heal in the official game for X3
@@gregorymirabella1423 On Clone Wars, he do it when you stand idle.
You're giving the game developers way waay too much credit for back then lol
He can heal in Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes.
My childhood could have been spared so much frustration if my kid-brain had made the connection between the "LJN" logo and terrible games. But instead I walked head-on in to abomination after abomination.
Techland is the modern LJN.
+Daniel Latkowsky I didn't run into any abomination in my childhood. I guess I got lucky.
Eddie Yeah. LJN had lots of great licenses, and all bad games.
It's a little harsh.
Call of Juarez, Dead Island, Dying Light....these games are completely ok games IMO.
I've read somewhere that LJN didn't actually make the games, just "licensed" them or something. Idk whatever the hell that means.
The way he says "X-Men" doesn't sound like a superhero team, it sounds like someone's last name.
"John Ecksman, attorney at law."
Sounds like Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
What’re all these bumps? You got ecksma?
ECKS-MAHN _Arnold noises_
Enus Ecksman
Thats like how DC superheroes names are spelled
At least one of the games was composed by Tim Follin, what a legend.
Most of these videos are like 10 years old and are more rewatchable than the majority of newer videos on RUclips.
Agree 100%

I managed to buy this game for $3.00 at a convention, and at that convention I got it signed by Chris Claremont, who helped create uncanny X-Men. Probably the best $3.00 I've ever spent.
No probably about it
Claremont didn't help create X-Men, but he was the best writer.
And here I thought it was Jack Kirby and Stan Lee that created the uncanny x men
You still got it, I take it?
@@lupeguillen5203 they did, but chris claremont wrote the book for 16 years and basically created the x men we know today
LJN is the EA of the olden days
Except its shit
SnowMaster -True Canadian So exactly like EA. The best thing they shat out was the sims and I don't even like that game but I know it's good.
EmgoFilms EA had some good games. Madden's pretty good, and that's all I can of accept for Sims.
***** It's good but not as a video game. As a standalone it's awesome but I don't count those kinds of games as really video games
Play MySims on Wii, you'll change your mind.
I got tricked into buying this game when I was younger cuz the cover looked so good
You're one of many
We all did but have you ever played X-men 2 Clone Wars? Great game definitely worth it
Mr. E 603 I had a X-men game on genesis and it’s sideways and has cyclops. Don’t know name though
You were not the only one.
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.
I'm so sorry
4:53 The iconic face is born.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to die
File it under X for X-Men
Well, whats wrong with being sexy?
It's "Xtra Power" in thier Debut Issue.
Nick Bailuc that sounds like the name of an atraction
that would be a great name for a heavy metal band.
I can’t believe this episode is 10 years old already. Crazy how time flies.
Now 12 years lol
Now 13 years lol
That do be how it is sometimes
Wow you must be a new here 🤣 Hello kitty 🐈
Now 21 years lol
James’s teacher predicted Dark Phoenix.
In honor of the amazing reboot to the X Men Animated Series, I'm returning to a favorite episode of mine from AVGN
You know a game sucks hard when the Nerd drinks something really strong.
Remember when he was reviewing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and he drank whiskey straight out of a giant bottle?
epic liampaul i know it might ruin it, but that bottle was filled with colored water, that shit would have killed him
***** *Obviously*. He doesn't drink real beer in his videos either.
Tomi WHY CAN'T I REMOVE THAT LIKE anyway, I mean when he spits it all over the place and shit
isn't rolling rock or Yuengling is strong enough or something? i don't drink
Ya know its bad when the nerd skips his beer and goes straight to hard alcohol xD
you fucking boomer
In the more recent ones he should just mainline some H. All the cool people are doin it!
@@jollabang9564 my pleasure
@@suckmyass977 your comment is a good reason to not drink when you're pregnant.
He made me thirsty... I like Rhum !!
The story of LJN and its founder is actually pretty interesting.
That intro music for "X-Men" on Sega Genesis really brings me back... so nostalgic - almost as iconic as the theme song for "X-Men: The Animated Series"
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.
That was way too reasonable for the likes of LJN.
+JustinEvitable80 X-Men 2: Clone Wars on the Genesis got the regeneration part right.
+Loren Helgeson Well that title predicted the future that Disney bought both companies.
I don't know how that's relevant, but OK.
+Andrew Schmitt And they still don't own the X-Men.
The Nerd should find the surviving members of LJN and put them on trial for their crimes against humanity.
Alucard 303 Woah! Nobody deserves that kind of torture lol
Night Rise ljn does
redandblue323 do you idiots realize it was 8 bit? and X-Men was not nearly as popular as today?
I liked the game!
Wolverine was fun too. If you were a kid when this came out, and the only other x-men game was the coin-op then you'd love this. Otherwise you are just not a true NES gamer. You need a code to unlock Magneto too that is on the cover label
Good luck with that. Actually, there are none.
That should be the Second AVGN movie
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.
6:36
That's how I felt when EA got the battlefront titles
The SNES had a great x-men game too. Mutant apocalypse
agreed
Capcom. What could we expect?
LJN only released these abortion of "video games" upon the public. Still you'd think they would have learned not to put out god awful games.
Arcade's Revenge was hard as shit, but fun
Just the comment i had in mind lol. Great game. Still have my copy. Gambit ftw
my parents were not rich. I think we were below the middle class and I had a NES in 1995 and only 5 or 6 games ever. I liked the x-men and I asked only for one thing, a X-men game. after I got it I just wanted to cry, but I was so angry that when my tears came out it evaporated. luckily my dad got a better job after a year or so and then I got a PlayStation.
It probably made good toilet paper though
U just described my entire childhood lol
Claremont did nt create the x men that was stan lee and jack kirby.Claremont wrote the best x men stories and did create characters during his long run
idk why but this is one of my favorite youtube videos ever every line is just pure gold
"All they did was recycle the same character and color them all different".
How ironic that LJN of all companies predicted NFTs.
1:39 "Well, we are doomed from the very start." [insert LJN logo here]
Why in the love of fuck does it have to be ljn
LJN is a publisher, not a developer
8:22 Well, in the movies, Wolverine drinks beers.
Nine years later and it's too bad he didn't review X-Men Mutant Apocalipse on the SNES
8:28 this made me almost spit out my drink. 😅
You have a drinking problem.
1:17 AVGN predicted Deadpool 2.
Deadpool must have been AVGN's teacher. It would explain so much.
X-Force
8:58 Fucking Bubbles!

Isnt the word "men" synonymous with describing humans? Like when you say "the race of men" the word "men" is referring to both men and women.
Yes, that is correct.
Men is collective.
No. It's "Man"
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
Probably some crazy teacher :P. English language does work on the idea that man or men can be either "male or humankind" all together.
People: AI will take over the world and enslave mankind
*AI* 4:16
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.
Just avoid ADAMANTIUM RAGE on SNES!
"i'm almost dead - gotta get the beer!"
7:52 that's like if sonic loses a ring whenever he spins
The arcade game was one of the best ever... playing that with a group of friends rocked!
Give credit to ljn .
They got a ton of licenses even after constantly making bad games
I'd rather be asking why they did
@@swiftprey1628 money why else?
@@marcellofunhouse1234 you are gorgeous
There was simply demand for “that distinct LJN-feel”
They were only a publisher, not a developer.
I was playing x men arcade and lost it at "welcome to die"
Everyone: The subtitles.
Me: (sees it's episode 69) Nice.
Nice.
r/averageredditor
Nice

Nice.
I remember ordering the original NES X-Men from a company for about $45 when it cam out, thinking I was getting a good deal. Imagine my disappointment. It was like that scene from A Christmas Story, sadder but wiser. Man that game sucks!
I can't remember.. what the kid got instead of the air rifle in A Christmas Story ?
@@legrandgougoulilumine6940 I think he's talking about the scene when he gets the bunny PJ's.
I liked it when I was a kid. I didn't know it was a bad game til I saw this episode 🤷♂️
I can't stop seeing two batmen kissing when I see wolverines masked face on the title screen of X-Men for NES. It's burned into my brain.
Two Batmans kissing? Don’t give DC ideas!
I wonder if there's a city in the U.S. called "Die."
Magneto: Welcome to Die, Texas.
To answer the question in the beginning, it's because the second half of women is men. X-men actually stands for both men and women
I always thought it was bc they were Humans with the X-Factor (hence making them mutants) but can’t call them X-Man bc that just sounds like a singular person so they made X-Men.
2:07 is the funniest moment in this series. It’s perfect.
dude 3:29....Wolverine is only 5'3 but weighs almost 200...whoa.
Yep, indestructible metal skeletons will do that.
He's all about that bass.
So wolverine's obese? Wow!
Raptor Feet he's thick not obese.
+Raptor Feet Nope, Adamantium Skelleton
“I guess ‘X-People’ just doesn’t sound as good.”
... Could have gone with X-Force? X-Warriors? X-Squad? X-Parrot-Wait, nope. That’s a Monty Python sketch.
X-force was a real thing.
"X Women"- X Men Phoenix

THAT'S CUZ LJN SUCKS!
+SeenGod That E stands for Entertaining.
+WebVMan A portmantou of "entertaining" and "interactive"? I hope that's what they were going for.

Why are there so many typos in games
Episode 69: X-Men
More like XXX-Men
Anya Sex Men
Erdo Hahahahahahahahha fuck you
LEFT WING CONSPIRACY You wish you could.
That's what she said 😏
I got d for 69 on my AP exam
Y'know, the more i hear WELCOME TO DIE!!!!!, the more badass it seems as a battle cry
It's "Welcome..... TO DIE !!!" You have to wait a second before saying "TO DIE !!!"
I'm still laughing about Wolverine killed by propellers. Where was his regenerative healing 😹😹😹
as much as the extra commentary on the subtitles are funny on their own right, I'm not a native speaker of english and they are getting in the way. Whoever did the subtitles should leave the personal opinions out from it.
Spriter Gors They should do like TFS and add the funny stuff to the Canadian subtitles.
Spriter Gors I switched to the auto-generated English version, which is completely readable and has no extra commentary.
Same situation here. Not native speaker, so I need the subs. The commentaries feels so out
same, F*CK the person tha has made a commentary at the end of EVERY freaking sentence, you are the worst, leave that s*it out of here, kid!
Sometimes commentary in subtitles can be funny if done right, and done rarely. It shouldn't be that the person making the subs feels the need to add something to try to be 'funny' at the end of every fucking sentence. No one likes that shit, I don't get why anyone does it. I always just turn subs off whenever it's done to that degree of fuckness.
10 years later Deadpool made the same X-People remark.
Amazing how that is
4:33 i did not need my ears anyway
😂
2023 and still watching these videos. You are my hero men!
Episode 69.
X-Men?
X-Man.
More like the C-Men :P
You forgot X-Men for the SNES that was made my CAPCOM!! This version kills every X-Men game that was ever made!!
Yea, immediately noticed he missed that game in this review. Great game, beast 4 life.
Wrong, Genesis wins this round With X-Men 2 The Clone Wars. Some of the music is used in the beginning of this video
Mutant Apocalypse was the shit!
ladynikkie clone wars was better. It made Mutant Apocalypse look like shit.
X men on the snes was better. Clone wars had a very awful final level that was so tough that it ruined the game. That final with the clones in it makes megaman and bass seem like an easy game.
I’m at the point where rewatching these old nerd episodes is literally taking me back to the past
That X Men Arcade was amaaaazing! I miss those days
8:54 Dude, that's Daft Punk.
Was Daft Punk even around when the game was made?
No they weren't but it was close
Lol some guy said they were around and when he found out they weren't he deleted his comment
Dave, I know you saw this but, I could see your deleted reply through email :P
maybe daft punk played this game and it gave them the idea
1:28 The captions state "Shadowcat got your tongue nerd?"
Funny, I remember getting really irritated with Nightcrawler in this game because his power was phasing through objects. I would complain because that is Shadowcat's power.
10:59
M.A.M.E.: I'll fix that.
If I’m feeling down, I can watch these videos and they really help me feel better ❤
Every time I watch this, i get reminded of how I tried to beat that Sega X-Men game, but couldn't because it didn't tell me I had to reset the Genesis. This is the episode that drives home that AVGN knows his shit, at least for me.
I wish they'd re-release the X-Men arcade game. Again.
They have, its on the ps3 or 4, my friend got it. And as an added bonus u dont loose health when u use ur powers, at lest on easy.
I love the arcade beat em up. Played with one at our local toyshop of all places back then. The panoramic screen looked awesome!
Something I really noticed about this episode...I LOVE the opening camera angle, where you can see the Nintendo shelf and the Commodore. Only noticed it because of the attention given to the camera position on many of the recent episodes.
You can never get enough shots of the nerd room. :)
1:06
Deadpool: We're gonna be forward thinking, gender neutral. We're gonna call ourselves... *X-Force*!
At 8:54, that Frankenstein's monster sure looks like one of the guy from Daft Punk!
7:58 - Can we talk about how obnoxious the sound of getting hit is in this game? It sounds like it's mocking you.
5:57 Because your literally frozen!
12:39
Dang I thought for sure there would be an actual message from that binary. I translated a bit of it and it isn't anything at all !
Man I love AVGN videos! Such great entertainment, plus the nostalgia factor. Keep 'em coming Nerd!
If I remember correctly, when the timer on the mojoverse stage gets low, after you hit the computer, it will actually say reset the system.
*“Welcome To Die!”*

The X-People might be a reality
Or X-Them...... gotta get those pronouns right! Ugh.....
Fucking moralists ugh
X-None
Sad because X-Men is using the original general term for Man/Men as in person/people, not Man/Men as in the male sex.
@Paul Tincher That was my point. Sorry if I was unclear about it. I was also partially responding to James point in the episode.
A fun X-Men game is X-Men Legends and X-Men Legends 2
Chris Harvell What..no love for Children of the Atom?
+SMAXZO or X-Men vs Street Fighter!
+Chris Harvell Those are pretty decent but get old quickly after one playtrough.
Agreed! I love Legends 2, it's one of my fav games evar!!! *fan girls*
+Chris Harvell some stages are too long, but yes, two of the most entertaining comic based games i've played
1:05 that part and the title really makes me feel that James made this as the 69th episode intentionally.
1:04 Deadpool actually fixed it by calling the group "X-Force"
X force was there before deadpool
11:42.....no but you lose the mutant power energy when you have the claws out too long.
13:59 Welcome to DIE!
Cyclops has laser blasts
Ice-Man shoots ice cubes
Storm uses lightning
Wolverines smashes up bad guys and dies immediately
His thumbnail is him being a younger Hide the Pain Harold
X-Men isn't sexist because Man means Human. You'd expect a teacher to know that.
Exactly. As in mankind.
As in "Ex-Man" which is, used to be human.
Tyler Chambers I guess mankind is just sexist.
Tyler Chambers does it really matter if there's man and woman X Men? They're super powered beings; is their sex really important? If you have a superpowered guy and a superpowered girl who can shoot lasers from their eyes, that's more important in a fight than their sexual organs!
Didn't you know? Nowadays your gender and race is the most important thing about you! Your personality, life experiences and accomplishments mean nothing in comparison.
Oh LJN... the moment, when I realized they released a game even in 2000... oh, God... and guess what? It sucks. Spirit of Speed 1937 for Dreamcast. James should review that game.
They did Spider-Man and Venom Maximum Carnage on Snes. Definitely the best of their games. Messed me up when I played the rest and they were horrible lol.
Yeah, that game was surprisingly decent, I was playing with that and I enjoyed it.
Yeah maximum carnage was cool.Morgan Metzger
2:34 Wolverine's 5'3" 195 lbs? Sounds borderline morbidly obese
He died as he lived....
Morbidly obese!
When your skeleton is made out of metal,you tend weigh a little more.
LOL my throat hurts from laughing at the nudging attacks
Logan:
Height: 5'3"
I guess Wolverine is a midget
