War Of The Gems Redux Finally Lets Wolverine Heal

If you ever wondered why Wolverine’s claws felt more like paper cuts than adamantium, a fresh ROM‑hack has finally given the mutant his proper “healing factor.” BillyTime! Games—renowned for polishing vintage licensed titles instead of gutting them—has dropped War of the Gems Redux, a tidy patch for Capcom’s 1996 SNES brawler that leaves the core gameplay intact while nudging each hero toward their comic‑book roots.

What’s new?

  • Wolverine now passively regenerates health on his yellow bar, so he can shrug off hits like the indestructible X‑Man we know.
  • Captain America and Hulk get modest defense bumps, making them sturdier without turning the game into a cakewalk.

The Infinity Gems got their own upgrades too: Soul doubles health pickups, Reality doubles item drops, Space grants Iron Man endless jumps (and infinite underwater air), and Power lets you bust through previously solid walls for secret routes.

A hidden cheat (hold Select + Start at the intro) unlocks all gems instantly—perfect for veterans who just want to experiment. In short, this tweak smooths out rough edges, makes each character‑gem combo feel distinct, and finally lets Wolverine live up to his name without a full‑blown remake.
