Quoted from gambit3113:Xavier mode - now is completely different. You don't have to hit Xavier first. Now it tells you to find the mutant, and has a pic of Xavier in Cerebro, and the head shape in grayscale of a mutant (not a character in the inserts) that you have to collect to reveal. One hero shot strobes slightly, and when you hit it, the mutant is revealed. I found Colossus and Havok.
I don't know wtf I did but I got Mystique lol
Quoted from gambit3113:STACKING IS POSSIBLE!!!!
Quoted from AkumaZeto:Fellas xavier mode can we get to it. Its supposed to be different. I have not seen it yet on video......
I just got to it. First time, you need 2 hits...second time like 4 or 6 hits, etc.
This baby is gonna get insane...
Sell me yours RobT
Quoted from c3trey:The game is much, much more strategic from the outset now ... you can make choices about whether to go for heroes or villains, and which you'd prefer to stack with your first Mag multi. You can get mags or weapon X loaded up so as to do one right after the other (don't think they are stackable...unconfirmed...). Early blackbirds might actually give you something worthwhile.
Blackbirds and villains light more frequently, I think. The mode start difficulty is set lower by default.
There's also a suggestive "reset wizard on new ball" feature adjustment.
The difference the code makes to the game is dramatic, immediately noticeable and, so far, 95% positive. (Not sure I like how much the ramp moves back and forth during modes.)
I agree with all of this. Especially regarding the new code making a "dramatic" difference to the game that is immediately noticeable, and most certainly positive. Way more action now.
People were requesting a mini wizard mode for starting the modes but not completing them. No reason for that now, it would be too easy. I started all hero modes, and completed all but two of them. As c3Trey said, the default is "easy" for mode starts. It might be too easy.
I may have noticed a potential bug (or issue) regarding Nightcrawlers. They definitely start more often. What I noticed was that the scoop had "Villain" lit, and when I shot the scoop, instead of letting me start a villain mode, it started Nightcrawlers.....and this was despite the fact that I had already started Nightcrawlers once before. So this actually seems to have prevented me from starting a villain mode. I'm going to play some more to see if I can confirm this. From what I can tell, Nightcrawlers is still a random award. The NC mode has been fleshed out more too, with additional dots and sounds.
Weapon X is really too cool. Great sounds and dots!
Is it me or maybe getting the game incomplete makes the updates more satisfying? I mean maybe it isn't so bad when the code is not complete. Thoughts?

CRAP! I did notice the change on the DMD at the beginning, but I never see the DMD during play so I missed all that! That must be what Akuma was referring to!

That is fantastic and kinda what i was told BOOM! awesome sauce.
Scoring is definitely fixed, but very different too. The Magneto jackpots are less than before.
I doubled my prior high score of 32 mil with 64 mil.
I still have not seen NC as a mystery mode. I did see them pop up during rogue mode. I must have at least another 20 games on it now. Still no NC mystery award mode.
Quoted from eggbert52:Damn...I just got Weapon X multi-ball!!
Wow
It's so good....and it's perfect for noobs, they can start it so easily...and now Magneto is the slightly harder to start MB. Weapon X might be the easiest MB to start ever...lol...but it's SO COOL, I don't mind, I'll take it! 
Any pinsiders got Weapon X mode recorded on video? Curious to see what kind of meaty updates Stern is finally doing on their games. A lot of pinheads like myself are waiting out for Xmen Pro.
I am so freakin jealous right now! Glad the software sounds like it finally lives up to the rest of the machine. Happy for you guys!

Sorry, I don't but I can say this. The magnet freezes for a good 2 seconds...then everything goes nuts...which is why it was impressive...I don't even recall what happened...I was just like..."well...that was cool!"
Quoted from marksf123:Can someone direct me to the page that shows how I update the code. Or explain it here...

I just made a video of the DMD...gonna try to upload it...
I just wish I knew what do do to finish weapon x multiball. It is an add a ball mode. More info needs do be displayed in these modes.
Quoted from AkumaZeto:PacDork Channel here i come do dah do dah
Greg does a great job on his vids.
Quoted from RobT:Greg does a great job on his vids.
Not so much on this one...haven't tried getting my camera to work with my new computer...in the meantime, here's a shitty video from my iPhone sitting on top of my pinball...hey, some shaky DMD footage is better than nothin, eh? 
Quoted from jackal2001:I just wish I knew what do do to finish weapon x multiball. It is an add a ball mode. More info needs do be displayed in these modes.
Just played it and it seems like you've got to hit a red flashing shot to get wolverine running through the facility and to run into some to kill. You then hit wolverine to kill them, then hit another red flashing shot to get him moving again and to find another victim. I think that's what was going on.

» YouTube video
That was pretty awesome.
Would love to see a whole game's gameplay with the dmd. Anyone?
Thanks JimJim - just updated the game and all I can say is wow...
Nightcrawlers integrated into the game and they do the jiggie thing right before they go down...
Weapon X multiball
I even completed the cyclops and had almost all heros flashing or solid
Great sounds...
Quoted from jackal2001:SYa I figured that out but does the mode have an end? How do you finish it or is it endless?
You finish it...there's one dude who gets in your way who takes a few hits to kill...then you see Wolverine slash through a door hatch and escape - technically the Super Jackpot. It makes the Wolverine insert solid and it starts starts the escape from the beginning.
LOL I pre-oredered my x-men and still don't have it and they have updated the code already 
I could of had it 3 weeks ago if the guy I ordered it from was freaking available to accept the shipment lol... oh where oh where are u magneto # 8

Life is good I will get it sat. night. just got word 
I'm having issues updating. What am I doing wrong? Flipped the dip switch 8 to on, turned the game on, went to update, get to screen that says insert stick, and I insert the stick with the .bin file on it, formatted to fat32, and it doesn't come up on my screen. What gives?
Do most of you use the verification when updating or just skip it?
I told it yes, when I updated my AC/DC, but it sure takes a long time.
Quoted from Arcade:Do most of you use the verification when updating or just skip it?
I used it....
