Before Spider-Man joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the only super powered team-up in a Spider-Man film was Peter and Harry teaming up to defeat Sandman and Venom in the conclusion of Spider-Man 3. In his MCU debut, Spider-Man shared the screen with nearly every hero in Captain America: Civil War and now as part of his first ever…
Superman may hold the Guinness Book of World Records for longest running video game protagonist, but I would wager that Spider-Man could hold a record for protagonist that has starred in a video game across the most platforms. From the Atari 2600 to Sega’s 32X, the NES to the a Japan only Super Famicom title,…
In 2011, Beenox delivered the first ever Spider-Man game to the 3DS with the release of Spider-Man: Edge of Time. Edge of Time was a respectable port to Nintendo’s underpowered handheld (in comparison to the main SKU of the game on PS3 and Xbox 360) that suffered from what a lot of 3-D games did on the PSP. The…
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and 2011’s Spider-Man: Edge of Time on the Nintendo DS, despite being unique experiences from their console counterparts, have a lot in common. Both failed to live up to the quality of their previous outings, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, though in the case of the DS game the development from Dimensions to Edge of Time had a developer change with Newfoundland based Other…
The Spider-Man games on the DS had a bit of a yo-yo thing happening starting out: Spider-Man 2 was not really that great, but Ultimate Spider-Man was terrific; Spider-Man: Battle for New York was a poor man’s attempt at trying to duplicate the quality of Ultimate Spider-Man but Spider-Man 3 returned things to form with a unique take on the open-world genre in two-dimensions and…
Canada, the country in which I call home, is celebrating a milestone birthday today. July 1st, 2017 marks the 150th birthday of the day that the country known as Canada came into existence. Video game fans owe a lot to the country of Canada, for without it and the talented people who live in it,…
Think back to a time when you were a kid with a pile of action figures. Some toys belonged in the same line or universe, while others were from things wholly unrelated to the fiction you wanted to create in your head. Heroes would team up with other heroes they normally would never cross paths…
When it came to Spider-Man movie tie-in games, Nintendo handhelds always seemed to get the least impressive versions. On the Game Boy Advance quality went on an upgrade trend from parts one through three, however all games were at best above average side-scrolling action games that, like in the case of the “open-world” portions of Spider-Man…

Watch the video below before reading further, I promise you’ll dig…
When you look at the time line of the Spider-Man movie handheld tie-in games, it’s a pretty interesting one. When Spider-Man (2002) came out, there was only the Game Boy Advance, and it was initially that way for Spider-Man 2 until later in 2004 and into early 2005 when the Nintendo DS, N-Gage and PSP launched to stores.
