Quoted from eggbert52:Honestly, I just can't imagine what a great game X-Men would have been if they had eliminated the big Wolverine doll and added a "lift up" magnet toy a la Batman that transported the ball somewhere else. That would have been tons better.
Yeah instead of the big Wolverine, it would just be cool if his claws came out of the playfield as a ball lock (almost like the Magneto one, but claws) ...a game doesn't necessarily need the actual character as a toy on the playfield...something representing their powers would be just as good if not better. Your transportation idea could have represented Nightcrawler...BAMF'ing the ball from here to there. Obviously magnet tricks for Magneto, but magnetic ball movement could have also represented Storm (weather FX) or Jean Grey (psychic FX)
