X-Men 3: The Last Stand (Video Game Update)

[JP]

3 characters? That's it? MEH...not interested.

Games like this normally have 1 character. So, 3 is pretty neat.

 

[the Firestarter]

so, what's the deal with nightcrawler? it's been hinted at that his fate is revealed in this game.

It was hinted they flat out said it. They will show why he isn't in X3.

 

[the Firestarter]

death?

any speculation on that.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Doubt it. I'd put my money on Nightcrawler leaving to go on a spiritual journey.

 

[the Firestarter]

how could they work that into a video game, redisnotblue? if iceman is in the last level it would haveta be an epilogue of sorts.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Sorry, I posted this in some other section without noticing it was here.

anyway...

Nightcrawler die? No way, he probably left the X-men for some reason, which really makes me mad because Nightcrawler is my favorite character, atleast I'll get to play as him in the game.

hold on, i'm not sure if this link works anymore. but it showed nightcrawlers actions on grid as well as some place that looks like the dam base in X2, in his x2 suit and his x3 suit. Cool how it highlights areas where nightcrawler can bamf towards. Wowzers.

[Aiden]

Yeah I know, I can't wait to ice slide though......

 

[Octoberist]

It seems like Patrick Stewart is the only X actor who's willing to do the games. Even X-Men Legends.

 

[PWN3R]

^^^ Because Patrick Stewart is a MAN BEAST.......

 

[Pwderd Toastman]

since deathstrike was helplessly dead at the end of x2 but will stay a villain on into this game.......do you think TOAD will come back for that fight with nightcrawler that Singer never got to begin filming. Hes my favorite X-villain...i need this.

...so what if he was electrocuted unconscious when he hit water. hes a toad, they love water long time.

 

[sparky_parker]
