Shmupsforum, welcome... TO DIE! (X-Men Arcade on XBLA & PSN)

[nZero]

It only took about 5 years for this to come about but the true killer app for XBox Live Arcade (800MSP) and Playstation Network ($9.99) was finally released on Dec. 15th: the 2-screen 6-player version of Konami's X-Men arcade game, complete with drop-in online co-op. I dumped more quarters than I care to remember on this in arcades back in the early 90's. Who's ready to get a full party together and take on Magneto, master of magnet?

Unfortunately people are reporting that the online co-op is laggy and glitchy (at least on the PS3).

I bought it and played through the game on XBL earlier. Online seemed fine to me. The only real problem are the people who do nothing but spam mutant powers, die, and continue ad hominem. But I suppose that's unavoidable with random people.

Can't get this right away, but damn, I'm pumped for such a thing. I've got some fond memories of playing this back in the day at multiple places. WHY DID YOU BREAK XBOX? WHY?????
