Konami (not Capcom, my fail) has announced that the classic X-Men Arcade, complete with cheesy music and bad translation, will be heading to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network soon. No details have yet been announced concerning price or release date, but we shouldn't have to wait long for a release.
X-Men Arcade is a beloved six-player beat 'em up that is most famous for its unintentional hilarious dialog, at least to me. I still shout "WELCOME TO DIE" in honor of Magneto whenever I get a spare moment of remembrance, and so should you.
What awesome news this is!

I am quite excited for this game by the way
Now all I need is the Simpsons arcade game and the two Dungeons & Dragons arcade games and I'll set for beat-em-ups.
Relatively new still.

Do you do it when you're surrounded by people you don't like on all sides?
Holy shit, my dad and I used to play the hell out of this game. I loaded it onto the Wii and I've been playing it, but I'll gladly download an official build as opposed to a ROM.
It does, drop in online support <3
Time to assemble the team!
Can't wait to finally play this.
Now wheres my Simpsons Arcade !!! That should be NEXT Konami. Also arcade acurate Ninja Turtles please.
Please tell me the Blackbird is still obscenely, ear-shatteringly loud on the intro screen.
