Well on to some uplifting news.
The game will be now available on Wednesday the 19 through most of the states. Shipping got kinda messed up.
I found a PS2 game Cd that had a preview of the game on it. I found it at a local computer game store. YOu get to play one full round, up to 3 fights. Like most fighters best 2 out of 3 fights whens. Then the game resets and you play another level 1 round.
Very cool. I have played a couple of times, well maybe more than a couple. The special moves are way cool, and are executed similar to Street Fighter. The get behind your opponent port, for example. At least thats what I call it. Press down then away from your opponent and at the same time presh the kick button. Kinda like executing Ryu's cyclone kit special in SF II.
The demo was fairly simple, the opponent wasn't tough, but then it is only a demo and is mostly toned down. The play control was very cool and fluid. I haven't had any problems. All the special effects sounds are there. The only thing missing was the voice over intros. NC's "enguard" was missing, but thats okay.

Cool!
When Hsu was at the Comic Con (man I love living in San Diego) I got to play it. I only won one round cuz the other guy was REALLY good. I of course always played the elf. The round I won was when I pulled off Mr. Toads wild ride, where you grab the opponent and teleport them all across the screen. It's easy to block or dodge but it if hits then it auto kills. SWEET!
------------------
OH YEAH!
BAMFCENTRAL I absolutely cannot wait for this game. (I'll try to resist going into a "I've-been-waiting-most-of-my-video-game-junkie-life-for-NIGHTCRAWLER-to-be-in-a-quality 3-D fighting-game" rant)
While a lot of my fellow Tekken/StreetFighter addicts didnt really like the game play of the 1st Mutant Academy, I couldnt get enough of it. True, it doesnt play as smoothly as those other games, but the thrill of using the X-characters and those kick a@@ slow-motion supermoves (especially the BEAST's "Siesmic Smackdown" and CYKE's "Mega optic blast") more than made up for it! Oh yeah and the cool little animation sequences you can unlock for each character are awesome as well!
Whenever i'd play the first Academy i'd wonder at how incredible it would be to have Nightcrawler in it....NOW I"M JUST THREE DAYS AWAY FROM FINDING OUT!!!!
BAMF!

This sounds like a good game! Regretfully it's a fighting game though... But you who (will) play it must promise me to become Nightcrawler experts and totally beat/exterminate/humiliate every single opponent of yours - with Nightcrawler of course.
I never played the 1st game, probably will rent it to see the difference. The sequel played very smoothly.
The only problem I have is executing the special combo moves. So I haven't done the teleport your opponent all over the screen yet. I started playing the games way back in school, my first experiences where before combos became the norm in fighting games. I never could execute the combos so I would generally just use the special moves and normal attacks. So trying to do these combo moves is a bit of a challenge for me.
There was one move I did by accident, but couldn't figure it out again. I grabbed cyclops head with my tail and flipped him over onto the ground.A very cool move, but I dont know how I did it

Okay a rather bad review on the link, but the pictures are funny

I like the pool arena! All the characters are in there baithing suits!
Hsu wants to see his fave fuzzy elf sporting the shorts!
------------------
Oh...how insane am I? I just bought a PS1, a blue controller, a blue memory card, and Mutant Academy 2 two hours ago...
Already beaten it in Arcade Mode with Kurt once, and gone through Academy Mode with him as well. For beating Arcade Mode, you get access to his end movie. For going through Academy Mode (Prof gives you instructions and you follow them...attacks, specials, and combos) you get a third costume - the original one!
So far it's pretty fun. His teleport slash, slide kick, and Ping-Pong combo are the best. With the Ping Pong Combo, you kick them into the air, teleport above them, kick them down to the ground, then teleport back down to the ground just in time to kick them all the way across the screen. Much easier to connect with than his other two supers (Mr. Wagner's Wild Ride, and "The Matrix" as I call them). But if you can get "The Matrix" to connect, it is so worth it.
I'm sure there's more to unlock...I should have waited until tomorrow to buy this...I'm going to be so worthless at work tomorrow...
- Darkholme
can't believe he owns a Sony console now...

"Nightcrawler will do..." Kurt Darkholme, X-Calibre #1
Happy you found it Darkholme, jealous but happy. At least, somebody is getting to play the game. I do have my demo to keep me company, but it isn't the same.
I am going to try and find it later today.
Okay does anybody know how to release the bathing suit characters or the other 4 hidden characters yet?

BAMFCENTRAL you dont have it yet?! Oh boy, you are in for a HUGE treat! I went on a hunt for it yesterday and finally found it just as I was about to give up! I've had it since yesterday afternoon and literally fell asleep last night with the game still on and the controller in my hand!
Screw the review, this game is awesome!! I'm happy to say that Nightcrawler is one of the games best characters, and if you can get a good handle on his teleportation moves he's almost untouchable! DARKHOLME youre right about how tricky it is to try and land Kurt's supers. The trick is to either try and execute them right after youve landed a combo, ( when your up close and punishing your opponent ) or catch someone just as they are trying to hit you!
SPOILER!

The GamePro review sorta gives away who some of the secret characters are so I guess I can tell ya about how utterly surprised I was to find out that amazingly, (pardon the pun) my other favorite acrobatic wallcrawler is in this game!!! As if I wasnt excited enough about playing with NIGHTCRAWLER, SPIDER-MAN is actually one of the hidden characters!!!!! (
BAMFCENTRAL I havent unlocked the bathing suit/pool background yet, (wow!) but last night Spidey became available when I was going through ARCADE mode playing with Storm. Right after I beat Cyclops in Sentinel ravaged New York, SPIDEY was my next opponent!! (Wich had me yelling like a 4 year old let me tell ya!)
As soon as I log off i'm heading right back to playing and i'm thinking about calling in 'sick' for work tonight! (JK but the thought did cross my mind!)
BAMF!
