PLAY RETRO 116: Wolverine!

from The FrogPants Studios Ultra Feed!

From Wolverine on the NES in 1991 to X2:Wolverine's Revenge on the PS2 in 2003, all of these titles share one thing in common. Their titular character and the inability of the developers to fully capture the essense of what makes a good Wolverine game. Most suffer from obscure plots where you scarcly encounter other mutants to poor game controls of a character that is poetry in meat slicing motion. The closest we get to having fun can be found on the GBC as city based platformer typical of the handheld and the "Almost" gets it X2: Wolverine's Revenge stealth game on the PS2, starring voice actors Mark Hammil and Patrick Stewart chewing up the scenery. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
