Yes, this isn’t exactly new, but anybody who has tire pitting Cyclops against Ken will be able to head right back to the start of the long running crossover. X-Men Children of the Atom marked the very first collaboration between Capcom and Marvel and set the stage for the rest of the included titles. Upon its release, X-Men Children of the Atom received critical acclaim for its fast-paced gameplay, colorful graphics, and diverse roster of faces from the X-Men. Players could choose to fight as characters such as Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, and Magneto, each with their unique abilities and fighting styles. The game’s story revolves around the X-Men facing off against their enemies, including the Sentinels and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, in intense battles to save the world from impending doom.
Anybody looking to pick up a boxed copy will get all of this history, and a 32-page comic featuring some of the most beloved Capcom characters and Marvel Superheroes. It will also include a series of upgrades. Online ranked, casual, and custom matches re added to all the fighting games. New netcode will keep things competitive and rollback should keep things fair and fluid. One button specials, spectator mode, and more are all bundled in too.
If you’re a child of the 80’s or 90’s this is probably a great gift to see you through the holiday season. You can watch history in the trailer, and head over to the official website to find out more.
