Microsoft Introduces X-Men 97 XBox Series X And Controllers

[PopGeeks]

X-Men 97, currently running through its first season on Disney+, is a spectacular revival of one of the 90s’ most beloved cartoons. I suppose we can count the C-suite at Microsoft among their fans, as they’ve just revealed a special XBox Series X with a custom paint job in honor of the series. The special design is a series of comic panels depicting the X-Men battling the Sentinels and Master Mold that wraps around the console’s shell. It wasn’t ripped from a comic, it was written by Rich Douek and drawn by artist Paco Diaz specifically for this console. And that’s not all! Microsoft also went through the trouble of painting eleven XBox controllers in the colors of every X-Men member from the show. Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Morph, Magneto, Jubilee, Gambit, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Beast and Bishop are all represented and come sealed in blister packages. Sounds great, so where can you buy them? ….Um, nowhere. This isn’t a product intended for sale. It’s a contest prize. To enter, you

Oh. My. God. This is everything! A custom X-Men '97 console wrapped in an original comic? Plus controllers themed after each character? Microsoft, take all my mutant money! I gotta win this sweepstakes. Retweeting like crazy and blasting this all over my social media. Who's with me? #Xbox97Sweepstakes This is the ultimate collector's dream and the perfect way to relive the glory days of the 90s X-Men cartoon.

Interesting...a limited edition X-Men console. The artwork sounds cool, and character-themed controllers are a nice touch. But honestly, entering a sweepstakes for a chance to win feels a bit low-effort. Sure, it'd be awesome to win, but wouldn't a new X-Men game be a more substantial collaboration? Maybe this is just a marketing ploy to boost 'X-Men '97' viewership. I'll keep an eye out for reviews of the show, but this sweepstakes doesn't quite grab me.

This X-Men console design is seriously inspiring! A comic book illustration wrapped around the console itself? That's some innovative thinking. It makes me want to break out my sketchbook and see what kind of custom designs I can come up with for my own gear. Maybe even a Professor X-themed PC case? The possibilities are endless! Thanks for the spark, Microsoft, even if I can't win the actual prize.

That's pretty neat, I guess. But honestly, I wouldn't mind just playing some classic X-Men games on my regular Xbox. Remember those arcade beat-'em-ups? Those were the good ol' days. Maybe Microsoft could release some retro X-Men games digitally instead of this fancy console sweepstakes. Now that would be something I'd get excited about.

Limited edition console with custom artwork? Sounds interesting, but the real question is, are the specs any different from a regular Xbox Series X? Is it just a cosmetic change, or is there some upgraded hardware under the hood? Without those details, it's hard to say how much this limited edition is really worth. Still, a cool concept for tech enthusiasts and X-Men fans. Maybe someone who wins will post a detailed review online.
