Once X-Men started approaching more modern times, video games based on the characters began to slow down.
Uncanny X-Men: the Days of Future Past (2014, Mobile). X-Men: Destiny (2011, DS, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360). X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009, DS, PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PSP, Wii, Xbox 360). X-Men: The Official Game (2006, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, DS, PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360). X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse (2005, GameCube, PC, PlayStation 2, PSP, Xbox). X-Men Legends (2004, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox). X2: Wolverine's Revenge (2003, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox). X-Men: Next Dimension (2002, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox). Of course, Wolverine has managed to maintain his popularity over the years as he is also the only X-Men character to get his own movies as well as a rumored Wolverine series coming to Disney+. It only took four entries for Wolverine to get a standalone game, and no other character from throughout the series ever has since. The older generation of X-Men games is also interesting for how early the series seems to have embraced Wolverine as one of its strongest and most popular characters. The game features a number of different characters all with their own move sets and playstyles and is also just a ton of fun, which helps explain why it can still be found in many arcades to this day. The arcade X-Men is widely considered a classic of superhero games and arcade games as a whole. It has thankfully been released numerous times since so it is easier for fans to get their hands on it, but when it was first released into arcades it redefined what players expected from a beat 'em up. Perhaps the most memorable and impactful of the older generation of X-Men games is the 1992 arcade game X-Men. X-Men: Wolverine's Rage (2001, Game Boy Color).
