Konami's classic X-Men arcade game is on its way to XBLA and PSN, Joystiq reports.

Announced by Marvel's NYCC panel, the six-player brawler will arrive on PS3 and Xbox 360 intact, aside from the inclusion of online multiplayer.

Released in arcades in 1992, the game cast players as Cyclops, Colossus, Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler or Dazzler and tasked them with rescuing Professor X and thwarting Magneto's plans.

Marvel said that the game will arrive on online storefronts "soon" but did not reveal a specific date. A price is also yet to be confirmed.
