Marvel Comics and Video Games. A match made... somewhere? From the 80s with the NES all the way to modern times with the Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch, there's been Licensed Marvel video games throughout all of gaming. 40 years in fact! SO this here's a deep dive into some of the... less notorious of the bunch. Considering there's well over 100 of these, we've got our work cut out for us.

I sure love me some Superhero video games. Like, we keep going back to them on this channel, y'all seem to dig watching it and my descent into westaboo continues. What are some good or Forgotten Super Hero games you played? Or the first?
Also, if you have any comic book recommendations, I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ME. Huge X-Men guy, wanting to get more into DC too. Lemme know you beautiful goobers.
Austin please talk about Hulk ultimate destruction in the future, It's an awesome Hulk game from the developers of Prototype
The first superhero game I played was X-Men on Sega Genesis.
Read grant morrisons new X-Men comics those are great
Jed McKay has been killing it on Moon Knight the past few years, I'd highly recommend that run.
Ryan North's Fantastic Four has been out for a little over half a year now (so probably a trade out or about to come out soon?) and you can tell he just gets the characters; really great writing there.
Anything Al Ewing touches is gold but his recent Ant-Man and Wasp minis were both really fun and great looks at the history of both characters.
Keep making great videos, I love your work! 💯
Immortal Hulk is a great run on hulk comics
Deadpool (2013) is great & I refuse to believe otherwise. The thought bubble bridge is a perfect example of how the game took advantage of the medium to make a Deadpool game.
Too bad the developer was exiled to "Call of Duty Gulch".
The Deadpool game was super underrated and I'm depressed that we will probably never get another one. Deadpool is doomed to cameos in mid games like Midnight Suns for the foreseeable future.
The gameplay itself was pretty janky and probably could’ve used another QA test or two, but it captured the spirit and charm of the Deadpool comics perfectly. And it’s a large shame you can’t play it nowadays without hunting down a physical copy due to being delisted.
@@Clowningaround326 That's the "home of the brave" for ya.
Deadpool game was fun AF frankly. I remember it fondly
The writing in the Deadpool game was genius! You’re really underselling how fun that game was
the writing in Deadpool game is garbage.
@@Oldschool1943I disagree
A fun detail in Arcade's Revenge is that Gambit's energy bar runs out after you throw 52 cards
Incredible
DC reference?
@@expendableindigo9639 There's fifty two cards in a deck
@@expendableindigo9639Seriously? Arcade's Revenge came out almost 20 YEARS before the N52 universe.
@@jackychang9148 New 52 was in fact preceded by 52 in 2006. But still too early.
I find it really surprising we never got a sequel to the Deadpool game: the gameplay may not have been all there, but the writing was definitely something to be😂
Unfortunately the developers, High Moon Studios, got swallowed up by Activision and are toiling in the Call of Duty mines.
Same with Beenox who made Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time.
And it has been delisted twice now from digital stores on consoles and pc.
Never released on Switch either.
A combination of the studio becoming a call of duty factory and marvel ending their relationship with Activision
i know i loved the deadpool game, i first played it on ps3 and it was so goood i bought i a second time on ps4
@@JudgementNutterHigh Moon’s Cybertron games also got similar treatment. It’s very sad.
Deadpool is still one of my all time favorite licensed games, up there with Batman Arkham series and Spider-Man. I think the combat system was really fun because of how much variation you had with all the different melee weapons, guns, and sub weapons like bear trap and the writing was fun to me bc I will always be a teenager at heart
Play X-men Origins Wolverine uncaged. It's the best comic game, and absolutely does good ol' Wolvy justice.
My buddy's first job in the game industry was working on the Deadpool game at High Moon. The main thing I remember him mentioning was how much of a pain it was changing all of the shaders to work with skin and other non-metallic objects since whatever engine they were using had been setup for Transformers games. I feel bad for never actually playing it XD Though I did buy it, so support?
I still consider that support. I don't enjoy stardew valley myself but I bought it a couple of times to support the creator because he seems like a genuinely nice guy
It’s never too late to play it!
It ain’t perfect, but then again what is?
It’s a lot of fun and definitely gets a Deadpool right
@@arthurfleck629 True. I still own it. Sealed no less XD
Very interesting insight!
Hmmmm, medium good friend fer sure. Could be awesome with a nice balance patch
feels really weird to say "Nolan North matched Ryan Reynolds" when Nolan really set the bar for Deadpool in MVC3. so i was super glad he reprised that role for the Deadpool game. if anything i think Ryan just really nailed his own take of the character.
as you said, Nolan goes hog wild with the role and its fucking great. Ryan is reeled back a lot more, but its still Deadpool.
also that game could only be batshit insane. aside form it getting rather difficult near the end, it was just about everything
i was expecting from a modern Deadpool game after what i had learned about the current era of the character at that time.
its not the best game, but its pretty fun and very entertaining and VERY Deadpool.
Nolan going utter nuts-to-butts insane with his voice work is my absolute favorite work of his like with Richtofen
I mean they brought him back for that mid ass Xcom Midnight Suns(should’ve been an Ultimate Alliance clone) type game for DLC
Honestly, I enjoyed the 2005 Fantastic 4 videogame a lot. Still a childhood gem of mine. Nice to see someone give it some attention and actually not think of it as too bad :D
Hell yeah dude that game is awesome!!
Unlocking costumes and an entire extra story set in the comic books was so cool, and breaking a mummy in two and then beating the top to death with their own legs sure was brutal
I love the soundtrack too, it's great!
It's one I still replay when I want my FF fix. Great game, really used the property to it's full potential.
I hope insomniac gets the rights to make Fantastic Four games after their finished making Spider-Man and Wolverine games
Yes this and marvel alliance were great games especially with Couch coop.
I actually really liked High Moon's Deadpool game. The Punisher on PS2 too. I want more!
The Punisher is genuinely one of my favorite games. Perfect for when you want to feel like an absolute badass
It's fucking brutal, I love using a rhino to skewer mobsters lmao
Punisher was great and so were the Max Payne games.
It needs a proper remake or remaster.
We need a new Punisher game
Y'know what is wild?
Volition were going to make an open World Sequel, had a proof of concept and LOADS of assets made before they couldn't lock down the license.
Y'know what they did with ALL the work in progress? They made Saints Row 😂 now IMAGINE that series as a Punisher game where you're going around "Stillwater" butchering 3 Gangs on a Map...
God I would have LOVED to see a finished product from that first version pitched.
I feel like if you added those Police Fleeing Mechanics from Scarface they would have a GOLD game on their hands.
@@TheOriginalEdFry crazy how if the license completely went thru, we would've never gotten Saints Row at all.
I actually have a vivid memory of renting fantastic 4 from blockbuster for Thanksgiving that year and that game actually slapped
Austin's shirt that you can barely see and isn't related to the video at all just introduced me to a seriously sweet comedy punk band. Thanks Austin!
I loved the Deadpool game lol. Idk if it was completely forgotten but it was definitely a 2010s game
About the graphical style of Avengers in Galactic Storm; I believe they're aping Rare's "Advanced Computer Modeling", or "ACM", pioneered in Donkey Kong Country. I.E. 3D models converted to sprites.
Yeah or even pre-rendered sprites could work I think?
Definitely not 2d Sega Saturn art since 2D saturn art was usually top tier for the time (hell even now lol)
3D sprites is another term I have heard used for this style.
i just bought Fantastic 4 for the ps2 today because i had vague childhood memories with it. i remember the boss fight where you had to battle the giant reptile with invisible woman, and i also remember the museum level with animate dinosaur statues.
My first 'marvel super hero game' was probably Marvel vs Capcom at a local arcade. I had a NES and some of the marvel games on that, but the only reason I had the NES was because my family was convinced that people at the arcade would try and get me hooked on drugs and into joining a gang.
Edge of Time still has a place in my heart. It has the best version of 2099 Spidey to this day, and a great character arc about him learning what it means to be Spider-Man while being the complete opposite of Peter
X-Men Legends was the first marvel licensed game I ever played, and honestly they're still pretty good for a 3rd person action rpg. When I was a kid I didn't really get how the equipment and stat systems worked so I got stuck on the part with the Morlocks.
The very first superhero game I played was the Spider-Man 1 movie tie-in game for the original Xbox. I never got a chance to play Spider-Man 2, completely missed that one.
I do miss movie tie in games. Most of them weren’t the best. But for some reason there was something about being able to play a game around the time a new movie released. That made it feel enticing.
Definitely helped cement memories of a certain time or movie. I played all the movie tie in games for Fantastic Four and Spider-Man as well as the X-Men Legends series. The MCU tie in games were really bad tho
I remember playing the first Spider-Man game on the PS1 (back before the first film even released), and going from just fighting baddies on rooftops to having this huge, sprawling sandbox game like in Spider-Man PS4 has to be one of the biggest jumps I’ve ever seen, lemme tell ya.
I managed to get ahold of the Xbox One version of Deadpool a while back (yeah, I know I backed the wrong horse there. I’m on PlayStation now though). I thought the writing was pretty good, but I thought the enemies could’ve used more variety. You got the whole X-Men lore at your disposal, and all the potential the mutant concept comes with, and you fight literal clones throughout the whole game.
HOneslty, the first F4 game that came out with the 2005 movie was pretty awesome!
It’s always a great day when an Austin video comes up :)
Off topic, but I bumped into Austin at Fanexpo Dallas last Sunday before I left the con, so that was pretty neat.
It was nice to meet ya! Sorry if I was out of it, we had a long hot walk prior.
@@austineruption that’s alright
This is a great video. I watch a lot of these, and there's a lot of cringe, and hate on the old games. You sound authentic, like you're not reading straight from script, and give some love to the oldies. Well done man.
Long time watcher dropping in to say that this channel is goated. Incredibly underrated, really hope u blow up huge someday Austin, your videos are extremely well done and entertaining and deserve way more attention
man i love your videos. thank you for adding so much humor to game reviews
Maximum Carnage is legit dope. Green Jelly, the GWAR like punk band behind the music, created original soundtrack for this game. It's pretty rad.
Bill was born to make a carnage game soundtrack
Great video. While I haven't played any of those featured, I want to play a couple just to experience them and make up my own opinion on them. Another little thing I love is that the voice of Rogue in Mutant Academy 2 was/is Megan Fahlenbock, the voice of Gwen in Total Drama (and, perfectly enough, just like Gwen, the version of Rogue in the animated series X-Men: Evolution, airing around the same time, was goth).
Oh man. The editing was so good in this video. Awesome job haha
An amazing video as usual! Thank you so much for the hard work! Keep it up!
Bro Imma start calling Austin the sniper. Cuz he never misses
spider-man: friend or foe was my first marvel video game, and one of my first video games ever. my brother and i would play it on our wii all the time, and we loved it (mostly because our spider-man obsession was at its peak). it was also one of the rare games in which we actually wanted to be player 2.
Ultimate Spider-Man & Spider-Man Friend or Foe are two of my top-tier favorites. Even though F&F wasn't clicking with my friends because the EZ infinite combo loop. The game is great but too easy
Definitely looking forward to the eventually video highlighting all of the good Marvel and movie licensed tie-in video games in one video. 😄👍👍
I still love Deadpool the Game to this day! I still have the PS4 physical copy which I think it's very rare to this day. Sure, it's a big bastardization of Deadpool's character as it's leaning totally on the comedic side of Deadpool, but it never bothered me and it's a pleasant and funny game to play even after years - and let's be honest, the speech bubbles are top comedy material😂
I really loved the Deadpool game, very underrated, I played it on PS3 and still own it.
If you’re looking into good miniature games to try Malifaux is one of my favorites, awesome lore, and pretty cheap to start playing as you don’t need many models, only thing is some of the models are difficult to assemble
My NES came with The Legend of Zelda, Maniac Mansion, and Captain America andThe Avengers. That's my first Marvel game. And it dug it's way deep into my gaming psyche 😁😁
I think the first Marvel game I've ever played was Ultimate Alliance. A pretty solid start imo
Can't go wrong there. 👍
Now that you said at the end about painting figurines, I was listening to this video while finishing painting a Gundam model, I'm still learning, but it is a great hobby.
First superhero game I can remember playing was Spider-Man on the SNES. Knowing nothing at the time about the silver Spider-Armor that you can get as a powerup in that game blew my mind once I did for the first time.
“cRiNgE aNd iMmAtUrE”….. we need more of that these days.
You mentioned a Howard the Duck game twice, and that is all I wanted to see. I love Howard and had no idea he had a game.
Volition's The Punisher was awesome! Played it on the PC and it was one of my favourite games at the time. Such a shame that we don't get any Punisher games now... especially that the TV series was good.
I remember not having many licensed games growing up. I had a Harry Potter game for gba but when I was like 13 I found out about Spider-Man shattered dimensions a year or so after release. I did everything to find that game and eventually my dad went to an eb games and asked the guy for it and I remember him calling me for the name of the game. I was so hyped waiting for him to come home to play that gem.
Xmen Mutant Apocalypse was technically my first, but the one I remember more was my second marvel game, spiderman 2 enter electro.
I only remember playing as Gambit and fighting a Sentinel head as wolverine
I loved wolverines revenge on ps2! I still love to go back to it till this day lol 😊😊
Great video man keep it up!!!
Spiderman: Separation Anxiety on the Sega was my first foray into superhero games, and where my Venom obsession started.
My best friend and I played through and really liked that Fantastic Four game as kids. Always wondered how well it actually held up. Lol
Been enjoying the steady stream of uploads last few weeks playa
High Moon was one of my favorite video game studios growing up. they turned me from a bay verse TF fan to reading the comics and all just from playing the games.
I loved both of those x-men Sega games. They were so dope.
The "evil" versions would be their doppelgangers from Infinity War (the comic book event that was a follow up to Infinity Gauntlet, not the movie that is based on the latter). Galactic Storm uses prerendered graphics ala Donkey Kong Country (i.e., 3D models converted into sprites). Blade's not a vampire, but instead a dhampir which is a human vampire hybrid (thus he doesn't have some of the weaknesses other than needing to drink blood).
And what does he say? Something like... "All of the strengths, none of the weaknesses."
Insomniac’s Spider-man ran my childhood. It had cameos , Easter eggs, and Stan Lee as an announcer. Excelsior!
Again another video to watch later. Hope you're doing well, been enjoying all the new content.
I am not kidding when I say that there's a shop in my town that still has a copy of the Fantastic 4 PS2 game on sale.
It's always hard to find a superhero game that feels like playing at a super hero. My favourite is was and always will be Hulk:Ultimate Destruction.
You basically just answer your own question
@@iancruz6617 i know. Its what keeps my hopes up that it's achievable again.
Spider-Man and Spider-Man/X-Men Arcade’s Revenge (both on Genesis) were my first Marvel games. The latter I much preferred. You’re not the only old one here Austin
The Marvel game that seems forgotten that I miss the most is Marvel Heroes. That game was not the best, but it was so much fun.
my first marvel game was X-Men Mutant Apocalypse for the SNES. Hard as hell but lots of fun!
Going to sleep to this then rewatching in the morning ❤️
*I picked up a physical copy of the Deadpool game a couple of days ago and I’m currently trying to get all achievements/ gamerscore for it* 😂
First super hero game I thiiink was Batman Returns on the Super Nintendo.
Absolutely scared me as a kid
Oh man the X-men legends games were one of a kind awesome classics
Yoo I remember that Fantastic 4 game for the PS2. It was kind of short and I didn't like it that much as a kid but I'm weirdly nostalgic for it now....
The first marvel game I remember playing as a kid was the Punisher Nes game. I had 0 idea what was going on and just played until I got killed or bored. Ill see myself back to the retirement home now 👴
There used to be a Facebook browser game called Marvel: Avengers Alliance and I LOVED it. You collected Marvel heroes and they had classes and costumes and it was a turn based RPG and they shut it down years agom but I still wish I could play it. I miss it.
My first comic video game I loved was Marvel Ultimate Alliance on the PS2.
It's technically canon that all of these games are official marvel universes. The fun part is imagining how they connect. Do all hulk games share a continuity? Are all the LJN games in the same universe? Are ports to other systems their own universes?
The Galactic Storm models remind me of the end credits in the X-Men cartoons, strange 3D, twirling, and all!
Those early PlayStation and Dreamcast Marvel games were so awesome.
Don't feel too old Austin, my first one of these games was the Questprobe Spider-Man game on the Commodore 64.
Austin, you are one of the most consistently entertaining and respectable RUclipsrs out there. I really appreciate everything you make. Keep going strong.
one of my earliest memories i have is playing mutant academy 2 on PS1 and also Spider-Man. i loved those games
I screamed out loud when i saw Your peelander z shirt. Epic.
11:14 I almost forgot that Shrek Smash n Crash existed, I used to own it on my DS back in the day
I can't remember which was first out of the two, but my earliest comic video games were the movie tie-in Spider-Man and my personal favorite of the two X-Men Legends.
Came across my copy of Ghost Rider for the Ps2 recently
I have no idea why but, for some reason when you were talking about The Punisher, I got him and The Phantom mixed up in my head. I don't even know which Comic company had The Phantom. There's nothing similar about them other than they both start with the letter P.
i used to love doing the specials in mutant academy 2 as a kid!!!
You unlocked a Memory with X-Men Mutant Academy 1 and 2, it was super fun and at the time I thought Havok was the coolest thing ever
I remember the first superhero game I played was Spiderman on PS1. I loved the animated series as a kid so I would usually play that over the movie tie-in on PS2
First Marvel game I played was either the first Tobey Maguire Spider-Man game or this Hulk game that I believe was a tie-in to the 2003 Universal Hulk film. Ultimate Alliance 1 was my second or third from what I remember.
My first super hero game was the batman plug and play TV game, I remember begging my dad for it and I got it for my birthday, that must have been around 2004 give or take, such a great game
I used to love playing Mutant Academy 2! There was an exploit with Cyclops I always use. He had an infinite special that trap someone in the corner with. 😂
The X-Men legends games and ultimate alliance games are very good even years later. I always find myself going back and playing them.
Probably Spider-Man 2 on ps2! I vividly remember going up against Mysterio and making him basically cry after beating him. It only takes one punch to beat him lol, good stuff.
I don't fully remember what my first superhero game was but it was most likely either Marvel Super Heroes or Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter in the arcade.
Spider-Man was HUGE in Asia, specifically Japan. Just look up Supaidaman. He was arguably more popular there than it was in America during the late 70s.
such a fun video! I remember playing the fantastic 4 games on GameCube. Don't think I beat level 1.
I think my first Marvel game had to be Spider-Man and X-Men: Arcade's Revenge. Hard as hell but kinda fun. Even if half the game was was impossible and i never beat it or beat anything beyond Spidey's and Wolverine's first stage
I would watch the hell out of some DC video games getting revisited. You should def cover some of the old free to play stuff like DCU online and Gotham City Imposters
Maximum Carnage was my first one too. I loved it
Never knew about Howard The Duck.😂
And nice Peelander-Z shirt. Good band. I got their autograph years ago.👍
I once got to attend a presentation about game devcelopment co-hosted by one of the Deadpool project leads after he had left High Moon.
He said that they basically had a "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" approach to making that game, and that the only thing that ended up getting cut was a segment where Deadpool fights a T-rex.
He also said that Deadpool was a game that came out too early, because while he had that meme appeal and was popular in the comics, he was still pretty niche outside of that small demographic, and since the Deadpool movie was still a few years off, there was no way to appeal to the normie crowd who's only exposure to the character was X-Men Origins Wolverine.
The first console I ever owned was the original PlayStation so if I remember correctly, my first Marvel game was Spider-Man. You all know which one. That game is a true classic and is the reason I still remember the original Spider-Man theme song the whole way through.
I even remember replaying it the most when wearing the Scarlett Spider suit, but I don't remember why I used it so often. Still all in all, that game is one of my favorite games on the PlayStation as well as one of my favorite games ever.
I have a weird soft spot for that Deadpool game. My brother loved it.
