Konami has just released an iOS port of the classic 1992 arcade game X-Men. The game was just released in the New Zealand App Store a few hours ago, and will slowly filter out to the rest of the world during the course of the day, finally arriving in App Store.
In case you didn’t already know, the thing to do back in the late 80s and early 90s was release side-scrolling beat'em up games. The genre really took off after the success of games like Double Dragon and Final Fight, but there were tons of other great beat'em ups during the era as well. X-Men is one of the great ones.
One of the great things about these games in the arcade was the ability to play simultaneously with your buddies. Hopefully the iOS X-Men utilizes some form of multiplayer to take advantage of up to 4-player co-op, whether it be locally via WiFi or Bluetooth, or–dare I say it–online through Game Center. Unfortunately the app description doesn't say.
