- A playthrough of Capcom's 1994 license-based platformer/beat 'em up for the Super Nintendo, X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse.
X-men: Mutant Apocalypse is among my favorite X-men games ever, right alongside Children of the Atom, which coincidentally enough was also released by Capcom in 1994 but in arcades.
This SNES gem really exemplifies how on-top of their game Capcom was when it came to developing for the SNES. The graphics look awesome, with huge, well animated sprites and detailed backgrounds that all look right in line with their source material. The soundtrack rocks, and is easily the among the best Mega Man X soundtracks on the SNES after the first.... okay, so it's not a MMX soundtrack, but it sounds like it could have/should have been with its rock beats and heavily abused guitar samples.
The gameplay is truly what makes the game shine, though. The combat hybridizes standard 2D platforming with fighting controls from Street Fighter II, and it works beautifully. The moves are all well balanced, easy to pull off, and make things more interesting than merely smashing the Y-button until your thumb falls off. I also love that MMX's stage select has been adapted here - the choice of stage order is pretty nice since it allows you to play many times over without getting completely fed up playing the first few levels again and again. That having been said, it's not likely that you'd have to - its actually pretty easy for a non-Disney Capcom action game. It's not a total cakewalk, but it was made pretty accessible to all players, not just experts.
If you haven't taken on this X-Men title, do yourself a favor and try it out. In my mind, it's by far the best 16-bit X-Men title, even besting the (quite good) Genesis titles by a fair margin.
And to anyone that wants to draw the comparison: no, it's nothing like MK Mythologies. The mere suggestion is an insult to this game.

![[TAS] SNES Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems by Dooty in 18:51.85](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_epYAZLWM6c/mqdefault.jpg)
For you kids out there, Psylocke was the original thickness.
impofstpete727 Ha, ha, yeah, that's true!
is this have app
......
Ha ha
Wow
I agree lol
Capcom really worked their magic on Mutant Apocalypse. It's easily one of the best X-Men games ever made!
This was a good game but I think it could have been one of the top 10 SNES games with some tweaks. It was a little too short and they got a little boss happy at the end. I still have fond memories though. Thanks for posting!
I'll have to agree. This game was great and loads of fun. my 10 year old self just wishes you didn't make it look so easy lol.
SO DO IS DO FUN OF DRUG ART HI USD FUN BY BUT DO FCI👍🏿 GOOD GOOD GYM BAG HIM
agree. better than the next infinity stones one. im proud to finish this without guides way back the internet era
@@barryjamesmusicPH that is a colossal undertaking
Back when I was kid, seeing Sentinel burst through the elevator like that for the first time was one of the most amazing things ever in this game, that and seeing Brood Queen. Apocalypse's stage theme was and still is phenomenal. I used love playing this and War of Gems, my friends and would take turns playing and would sometimes designate who would play who. Great games and good times.
Who used to pause the game when psylocke did her leg sweep I know I did lol
Booty
I have.
Yeeeeessss 😜
😂
Hum nice
This was the best era of the x-men
Agreed.And this game is amazing
Right? They were in a ton of awesome games and of course the badass animated series. Gonna go listen to the intro right after watching some gameplay here lol.
it's almost uncanny
Now that X-Men 97 is out, this deserves a remaster.
@@RangoTheMercenaryoh yea
It’s funny, this game captured the spirit of what x-men is all about more than some of the movies.
This game had bits of every good game from Capcom: Megaman X´s music, Demon´s Crest sound effects and gritty atmosphere, Street Fighter moves and huge colorful sprites, Final Fight gameplay, and a good difficulty and addictive fun factor.
Yeah I notice alot a similarities with megaman X in it's style. Even the fight with magneto reminds me of the final boss on super guals n ghost
You forgot the jiggle effects. Well beyond it's time. Mhmm. Nice plump character. Stuck to the X-Men tradition.
@@NinjaOnANinja I am here to shame you for your simping
@@CMCAdvanced are you stupid?
Which either makes it charming or lazy
Beast's music is so smooth.
Yeah. Sounds like a jazz sort of tune. Kind of like from a Film Noir.
Random memory - I remember renting this the day we got out for winter break in 1994 and it kept me busy until Christmas. Great game, Capcom-y as all hell.
!K GUN THE JUN TO BUY! HIGH HIGH HIGH BUT🤔! HIGH YOU JIM?
That's the same day i rented it too! It was on a Friday and the weather here was very cloudy, cold, and damp!
@@justman4891 We are X-Men Mutant Apocalypse Eskimo Brothers, hope you're doing well
@@professors84 lol yea we are! 6 years after your original comment im glad you are doing well! All is well here! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful random memory with us!
Magneto is so dramatic, lol. I was reading his talking in his 90s cartoon voice, 😅
I love how Wolverine is just like "forever alone" at the end, lol
Dawg, I wish Storm was like, offering to shake his hand or placing her hand on his shoulder to let him know he's NOT alone, despite him thinking otherwise! 😭
Is it just me, or is anyone else getting HEAVY MegaMan X vibes from the soundtrack?
Yup! I feel like the game uses the same engine.. Feels and looks like Megaman X.. with huge X-men sprites instead.. which is NOT a bad thing! :)
Yup
Yeah, same here. I always felt like they use the same engine or something like that
Capcom made this so it’s probably the same team! It’s a really killer game overall.
So much nostalgia! It blew my mind there was a “true” ending if you go straight through without passwords. I marathoned the game, and always have since then.
Glad to see that bouncing between enemies as Beast and Psylocke was the norm 🤣 . This game was the bomb, I got it in summer of 95 and immediately got immersed in it. Gambit and Psylocke were my faves.
I'm confused on how they are able to do that. Every single time I tried, Beast just becomes completely non-responsive when bouncing and gets hit.
Psychocke was also a pain. She had a different attack every time to the exact same attack combos (the same one I've been using since SF2 as a kid when it first came out), which basically ended up with her just completely bouncing around.
I was actually coming here to have them confirm this was a TAS run. I say this also because they seemed to have a LOT more s than I do, as I've used some attacks and actually been knocked out of my mutant attack (specifically that Sentinel with Psylocke) that this player just literally phases through and walks through without being hurt.
I remember being a kid and seeing my 14 yr old brother play this like nothing! Always had to sneak in a game or two when he wasn’t around lol By far one of the best games from the 90s.
You're so pretty
@@daniellap.stewart6839 I appreciate the compliment, as are you :)
@@marce_sfc😅 . .🎉❤ ,???!! !!!hi''' I
best x-men game of it's time. my favorite x-men game
Like if you have this game on SNES.
Was just playing tonight one of my favorites!!
“Had” …for me
I wish this cyclops was in the movies SMH
Wait what movies? Isn't he in all of the two trilogies?
@@WaffleStomper69 I think he means that he wishes Cyclops wasn't such a wimp in the movies. I've only seen the first three, but Wolverine hogged too much of the spotlight and you could barely tell that Cyclops was supposed be the strong-minded field leader of the X-Men. His stature felt significantly reduced for those of us who were used to his 90's cartoon adaptation (he might've been a bit vanilla, but he held his own).
FACTS
@@megavolt67 The results were in. Wolverine was the fan favorite. And any writer that is trying to write movies, gives people what they want. Thus Wolverine's focus was pushed more in the subsequent films.
The Cyclops u want shoud be found in xmen 97
My favorite X-Men game. The third game of Capcom's long runnning use of the Marvel license course.
Clones wars is better fanboy
Why is apocalpse so easy? What a joke
@@fexhaitchiii6530 they are both excellent games
@@trinidadmetroid yea but clone wars is way better
You said the 3rd. What's the 1st and 2nd?
Times when Capcom used to do games for fans.❤
😐 JOKER KIIII CYBILL TRY HIGH BIG CHUNK TO BY M HIGH BIG MINI NIKKI LOOK NO LOOK
Now they’re back to their roots...hopefully for good.
Right before they started milking their fans with micro-transactions and other add-ons. Good times indeed!
@@Walking-MY-Path them, square & atlus along with nis America & z seed & arcsystems are decent companies still. Incomparsion to many out there. But capcom still while redeemed have a tendency to still half ass some shit they put together. The Rockman x legacy collection is an easy example. There’s no reasons why all 8 of those games can’t fit on a Cartridge or Blueray disc.
Remember when comics were fun and we trusted Marvel with their own properties? Here you go!
And when Capcom made games that didn't feel totally lifeless.
11:47 IT always makes me crack up watching wolverine jump out of that Window IT's like he goes full Berserk on everybody XD
Great example of a hybrid of a platformer and beat-em-up. Nice play here.
It 's called
Action plataformer
A classic game from the SNES era. And one of the best games of 1994 right next to Megaman X and Demon's Crest.
This game was awesome! The music, the game play and the characters!!!!
Poor Wolverine, everyone gets the girl, Wolverine all alone at the end.
He still has that torn picture of Jean, he'll be alright!
Should've at least given him his FwB Morph... 😭
I wish they included the other xmen but this game was the best xmen game out there regardless
That was the "Magia" of Capcom in their Golden Era, too bad these times will never Return.
While X-men for Genesis focused on platforming, Mutant Apocalypse was a Combat/Side-scrolling Arcade Beat 'em up style game.
Oh the memories!!!!! I played the hell outta this game when I was a kid. 👍🤘💪
This game was so much better than the genesis one...it's not even close
I'll never forget how blown away I was by the aweomeness of this game when I first played it back in 95! Capcom ruled the gaming world!
This game was metal af. Capcom knew what they were doing.
Beast defeats Magneto by headbutt attack, lol!😅 go Beast!!!
His brain is his most powerful weapon, just making the most of it.
I still have my Snes and this game as well!
Yo, this is so cool. I remember this from age 15. 42 now, but will always remember the style of this cartridge .

Such a great game. One of the best comic book adaptations.
Cps 2 style graphics and music on snes, amazing!
What a great beat em up/platformer and great ost this was and still is. Capcom had that magic touch back in the day with whatever project they worked on. 🥰
My first SNES game it came bundled with the console itself. 🙂
There were kids who would pause while Psylocke did her leg sweep move, and then there were dirty little liars. We all did it.
i always play with with psylocke just to make this
This game is awesome! I always loved playing as Psylocke (my favorite), Wolverine, and Gambit.
I just started playing this game earlier tonight on my snes; admittedly I actually had a little trouble at first as I learned the characters but now I’m loving it, what an under-appreciated Capcom game :0
The soundtrack on this gives me that Mega Man X feel. Just imagine playing as the X-Men in Mega Man X... I could see Cyclops killing all mavericks. coincidentally, he is my symbol and will always be it.
The first stage sounded like Storm eagle and the stage itself looks like Sting chameleon
@@blueshot333 I actually put Scott and Sting together as a tag team. Pure coincidentally, I am actually friends with Scott himself. However, it is only exclusive in Twitter. We instantly became friends, and I have him two times physically, one as a tiny, little figure that sits atop my bed table fan. And the other is where he's voice responsive and electronic, where he watches over my room with a crystallized stare. And I said, crystallized because his visor land is crystalline.
Watching Juggernaut being defeated like a Super Mario gumpa or whatever made me laugh.
I remember this game...this and War of the Gems I used to play alot as a kid.
Me too, especially with the both of them including Wolverine as one of the playable characters.
Really love this X-Men blue team since I was kid in 90's :)
I remember playing this when i was 8 and now im 21 watching these throwbacks
43:15 'X-Men! Welcome to die!'
Magneto: “Evacuate Genosha immediately because I will attack!”
Xavier: “Quickly, return to The Danger Room in NY!” 😭😂
Wow! Did not think it possible to defeat Magneto with either Cyclops or Beast, since they didn't have any vertical attacks in their arsenal. Had fun watching this and being proven wrong.
😂 KEN SHE CHA CHA FOR FOR CHA CHA BOY BIG JOIN BON HUG BIG JOHN👍🏿 GOOD
Brings back memories. I didn't remember it being so short
I'm giving a thumbs-up simply because this one is in HD and the last one I tried to watch was in 240p.
Glad it worked out then :) I always upload at 720p60 or higher. Nobody likes a blurry, blocky picture!
got to love that beautiful mix of X-MEN + CAPCOM
then poetic badassery such Psylocke and Gambit will emerge
...wish Colossus and Rogue were playable
but hey i know that would be too much perfection
is cool that you played as Cyclops, the most under appreciated of all X-men
btw X-MEN LEGENDS 1,2 FOREVER!!
holy crap! That lava stuff was really rising the 2nd time!
Here right now because 1up announced an arcade cabinet with this as part of the package
😩X-DISCOVER-STUFF YOU BUYING)
Waste opportunities, Capcom should have make a fighting game similar to xmen children of the atoms using the characters here, a spin off will be fun.
Ahhh my childhood. Thank you!
23:15 so we just gone ignore how that plane ascended without a pilot😂
This was One of the best games I've played growing up
My favourite level is Wolverine's (and X-men), but the best theme for me is Beast's
48:12 Poor Logan, no one cheers for him till the end of the campaign.
Wish they had included Storm congratulating him. They're at least friends, right!
This game was so hard growing up
Massive fights in space stations between heroes and villains are easily the best things for a final battle.
Oh, I remember the anguish on certain levels... but it hurt so good. Luv this game.
Cyclops sucks I can’t beat bis level
Psylocke must be very popular in Japan cause Capcom always made sure to feature her in Marvel video games. She even made the cover of Marvel vs Capcom 2.
She’s hot.
@Filthy_Larry So are Rogue, Jean and Storm, yet look who is more prominent in Capcom's games.
Oh no. forgot the x thingy with Gambit in the insect place. maybe too high even for his sexy tallness😘
So, Wolverine is all alone at the end - that's really sad, Bub.
Wolverine’s slashing claws served the best ASMR in the 90s
Thats why i never beat psylockes levels, how would i sneak around the enemy undetected with those things clappin'
I used to watch my older brother play this game for hours and now I finally get to see what happens at the end. LOL
Being the younger brother sucks.
Wow what great memories. If marvel/capcom decide to remake thise for the newer consoles. It'll be awesome
I had this game when I was young never new it past the first 5 missions didn't know how much was to this game.
Reminds me of The Ninja Warriors on SNES.
Ha, Capcom doing the old trick of dropping enemies on you in the elevator shaft ride (a staple of their beat em ups) although this might be more platform than beat em up. I love Gambit's level themes. His first one actual sounds eerily familiar from a wrestling theme in the early '90s from the wrestler Greg the Hammer Valentine. I remember my little brother getting this game for Christmas 1994 I want to say, and us just having a ball playing it. We beat it a few days after Christmas but we kept playing it over the next few years.
Love it when video games include levels in large factories!
Eines der besten spiele das ich je gespielt habe
One of the best games in mid 90's! Epic!
Thanks for uploading this
Capcom and Konami always and STILL DOES have the best gaming music tracks.
Omg so much retro games that are gold 😎
I haven’t played them yet
I love X-Men.
This is an awesome X-ample of a good license-based game! I remember playing it in my youth, and replaying it in contemporary times makes me want to say it's a great effort by Capcom! (Years after watching a subpar Screwattack Video Game Vault review, go figure)
And the only X-Men game by Capcom where you can actually *play* as Beast...
You probably made this in light of Marvel vs. Capcom Infinity's trailers, huh?
Out of curiosity, how does this hold up compared to X-Men 2: Clone Wars? And I'll definitely go on record to say that X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse > X-Men on the Genesis in the sense that I don't have to put up with a level that requires you to softly reset the game in order to progress.
vgaoct91 In all honesty I totally forgot about that coming out soon lol. I just really like the game :) I like it better than either of the Sega games for sure. I didn't mind the reset in that one. My problem with it was that I just always found the game ugly and a bit clunky. Fun, but it doesn't touch this
Marvel vs Capcom infinite crap cannot hold a candle to the 90s games.
Fun fact: Wolverine is the same sprite as from Marvel Superheroes (SNES)
Several of those sprites were also used in the fighting games x-men children of the atom and marvel super heroes. It was cheaper to just copy them and it worked out afterall.
Bro I'm buying it!!! Asap Im taken back into time
Aún recuerdo lo mucho que me gustaba este juego junto con killer instinc
Brooooo. I never realized how close I got as a child. I remember everything right up to that machine right before Magneto.
That's kind of a bummer. Guess I gotta beat it now.
Didn't think it was strange back then but cyclops beat up a train lol
this game needs a remake
GRACIAS X MEN - SON MIS PERSONAJES FAVORITOS.
The beast stage music is very calming well a lot of capcom music is calming the final fight music was that type too
Lol this game, since I was a kid, me and my family playing together, I must have it.
I remember getting this and Ballz 3D for my birthday back in 1995.
Playing the Apocalypse level with other than Wolverine and/or Beast is a suicide.
i could only beat that level with gambit, cause he can do that spin kick to move super fast and bypass some of the gates before they close. then just light up apocalypse with cards (never got hit when i beat him)
Camilo T. What can I say? I like a challenge :) the last boss should tell you that :D lol
Psylocke can slide her way through the first lava segment, and her jumps can help her out a lot on the second lava segment.
Beating the Apocalypse level with Cyclops, however, is an entirely different thing; you must rely on his crouching Optic Blast during the first lava segment, and his slide attack is too slow compared to Psylocke's. I don't know about him going through the second lava segment, though.
Loved this game, I remember it being tough as nails, but took the time to master the levels until beating the whole game.
I liked a lot doing Street Fighter moves during combat and the OST was masterful, Capcom at its finest.
This is the best X men Sega game people ever played
man, i was 6 or 7 playing these smh. super memories
Beast was my favorite to use in the game
I love this game so much ❤️❤️!
