The Uncanny X-Men Game

Step into the spandex-clad boots of Marvel’s mightiest mutants in The Uncanny X-Men for the NES! This side-scrolling brawler throws you into the chaos of being a superhero, letting you choose between fan favorites like Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, and Nightcrawler—each with their own flashy powers. Slash, zap, and teleport your way through waves of Sentinels and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, all while trying to rescue your kidnapped teammates.

Sure, the controls can feel a bit clunky (hey, it is an NES game), but there’s something undeniably fun about its comic-book charm and chaotic co-op mode. Compared to other X-Men games of the era, it’s a rough gem—flawed but full of personality. If you’re a ‘90s kid or a retro gaming fan, this one’s a nostalgia trip worth taking. Just brace yourself for some classic NES difficulty—Magneto wasn’t playing around back then!
