"X-Women: The Sinister Virus" (Sega Genesis) Promo Video

This is a short gameplay/promotional video of "X-Women: The Sinister Virus", a side-scrolling action game for the 16-Bit Sega Genesis that was slated to be released amongst the console's last batch of first-party software in late 1996. Unfortunately and inexplicably, the game, which was to have starred and be based around several female members of the "X-Men", was cancelled and never released. It is not known how far along the game was before it was cancelled or when it was cancelled exactly. All that's known is that it was possibly being developed by the long-defunct and short-lived "Clockwork Tortoise Inc.", which had previously developed the impressive "The Adventures of Batman & Robin" for both Genesis and the Sega CD.

Damn...it looks pretty good. Was that rom ever dumped?

[SuperAdventures]

Nope. No further information on the game has been found out ever since it was scrubbed off the final Genesis release schedule and quietly canceled in late 1996. Not even from those who worked on it (whereeve they are). I wonder if anyone owns a ROM of this, of its ever been found..........

[accent361]

How about release both the 32X X-men and the X-women games on the PSN and the XBLA?

[SuperAdventures]

They won't. Both games were cancelled well over 10 years ago, and there's no interest whatsoever in finishing or releasing them. Nobody even knows if an incomplete version of "X-Women" exists out there.

I wanna see X-Men on the 32X.

[SuperAdventures]

As do I......I'm not sure if anyone has a video of that though. I've heard that alphas/betas of that game are floating around......somewhere........

[viniohio]

[FMagl]

I remember reading about this in a magazine way back. I didn't know it had never seen the light of day and just happened to be looking for info on it on a whim.

Could have been good ...

[pspuser65]

To bad it got cancelled the graphics looks pretty good for Genesis standards.

[losc59ultra]

Where's the rom?

[itamax]

That's such a shame. =\

[SMAHAF]

That would have been an awesome game! Sucks that it was cancelled though. Stupid Sega!

[newedgemartialarts]

this game was supposed to have Jean Grey, Storm, Rogue, Jubilee, Psylocke, Dazzler, and Shadowcat as playable characters... very lame that it was cancelled.
