Wolverine appears as a character in the following X-Men games:
The Ultimate Marvel version of Wolverine appears as a boss in the Ultimate Spider-Man video game, voiced by Keith Szarabajka. He is fought inside a pub while playing as Venom, after throwing his motorcycle through the wall of the pub, causing Wolverine to attack Venom in retaliation. However, Venom proves stronger and defeats Wolverine, knocking him unconscious.
Wolverine appears as both an ally and a boss in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, voiced by Steve Blum. He first appears shortly before the symbiote invasion that will consume Manhattan, ambushing Spider-Man at Hell's Kitchen, as he can smell symbiotes and believes him to be one. The two engage in a brief battle, during which he asks Spider-Man several questions to determine if Spider-Man is a symbiote or not. Regardless of the player giving wrong answers, Wolverine eventually trusts Spider-Man and the two settle their differences. Afterwards, they begin briefly working together to track down and defeat several hidden symbiotes, and Wolverine becomes an ally that the player can summon at any time during gameplay to help them fight enemies. Later, during the symbiote invasion, Wolverine helps Spider-Man evacuate a church full of civilians. After the evacuation is complete, Wolverine is attacked by two burly Symbiotes, which dog pile him to the ground and, thus, turn into a monstrous symbiote version of himself, fueled by rage. Symbiote Wolverine then battles Spider-Man, even using some symbiote pods to gain a temporary armor, but is ultimately defeated by the web-slinger. Depending on the player's choice, Spider-Man can either let Wolverine remove the symbiote himself by using his claws to gut himself, or remove the symbiote by force and then rip Wolverine in half (ironically, Wolverine has suggested doing this to Spider-Man earlier, if he ever became infected by a symbiote); the latter choice will cause Wolverine to angrily swear to kill Spider-Man, thus making Wolverine unavailable as an ally for the rest of the game. If the player chooses to activate the device meant to destroy all the symbiotes and stop the invasion, Wolverine is seen in the final mission of the game, fighting the symbiotes aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D.Helicarrier alongside the other hero allies, while Spider-Man plants bombs to destroy the Helicarrier and stop Venom for good. In both evil endings (if the player chose to destroy the device), after Spider-Man takes over the symbiote army and rules over Manhattan, Black Widow enlists a symbiote infected Wolverine, who this time is in full control of his symbiote, to hunt Spider-Man down and bring him to her dead or alive, with Symbiote Wolverine opting for the former option.
In the PlayStation 2 and PSP versions of the game, Wolverine is an assist character who will slash enemies with his claws.
The Ultimate Marvel version of Wolverine is referenced in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.
