Activision and Marvel’s Latest X-Men Action/RPG Video Game is Available at Retail Stores Nationwide

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — The battle between the X-Men and Brotherhood of Mutants rages on – and your choices will shape the fate of the world! Available today at retail stores nationwide, Marvel Entertainment, LLC and Activision Publishing, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: ATVI) X-Men™ Destiny places gamers into the role of a young mutant just discovering their newfound powers; where the choices they make and alliances they forge determine which side of the mutant cause will reign supreme. X-Men Destiny gives players three all-new mutants from which to pick, and an original story penned by acclaimed Marvel writer Mike Carey, delivering an action/RPG experience where players have ultimate customization of their mutant’s powers, development and “destiny.”

“For the first time ever, gamers can play as a NEW Marvel mutant and make the key decisions that lead to their siding with either the X-Men or Brotherhood,” said David Oxford, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Activision Publishing, Inc. “The opportunity to play out X-Men Destiny’s branching story arcs as three all-new characters provides a unique way of experiencing the X-Men Universe – one that we think fans are going to love.”


It’s no secret that G4 has been involved with quite a bit of Nintendo bashing in the past. I can still remember when Morgan Webb essentially called Super Mario Galaxy kiddy a couple of years ago.

And now they’re at it again! In a video that covers action games, Webb and Adam Sessler touch briefly on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword… except their comments aren’t too positive.


Do I see some blue in there?!


Go Vacation isn’t your average mini-game collection. You might have been able to determine that for yourself at this point based on some of the footage and impressions that have been made available thus far. What may surprise you, however, is how in-depth development has been.

Kenya Kobayashi, producer on the title, revealed in an interview with Inside-Games at TGS that over 100 employees have been working on the project. It’s actually been in development for two and a half years.

The team has been looking to create an experience that will act not only as the ultimate family game, but also become the definitive Wii title. Players can explore open 3D environments as well as try out fifty mini-games. New games will be added to your collection as you explore – which can be done by walking, swimming, and riding vehicles – and you may even encounter some secret treasure chests or hidden areas.

According to Kobayashi, playing all of the mini-games could take 15 to 20 hours. In total, around 100 or 200 hours of content can be expected for those who are interested in experiencing every facet of the title. 8 save slots can be used, which will be great for consumers who anticipate their whole family getting involved.
