A decent NES Wolverine tie-in, with readable claws and varied stages. Finicky hitboxes and high difficulty spoil the fun. For nostalgic X-Men fans, without rivaling Konami beat'em ups.

Wolverine is one of several Marvel titles LJN put out on NES, a publisher whose licensed games are now collected as much for their reputation for punishing difficulty as for the brand. The life bar that drains on its own made it a poster child for LJN-era licensed-game excess. Its appeal rests on that Marvel-curio status, with the print run staying fairly common.
