We were giddy with delight earlier this year when we brought you the news of X-Men: The Arcade Game's release on modern consoles. Though we still don't have an exact release date, the initial time frame indicated a late 2010 release. Well, it's now about as late in 2010 as you can get, with no game in sight; however, we do have the achievements for it, which means the wait is likely coming to a close.
Two of the achievements promote the totally groovy six-player co-op available in X-Men Arcade. A 10 pointer is earned by just playing in a six-player game (which requires mixing local and online co-op on the Xbox 360), while you'll earn 25 gamerscore for facing Mystique with five other mutants. The remaining achievements are mostly what you'd expect. We can't wait to meet the Master of Magnet in this one!
