We also have to consider that they are starting from scratch essentially so we probably cant expect the world in terms of roster

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 announced exclusively for Nintendo Switch (Team Ninja developed, Nintendo published)
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Original game had 16 story plus 9 optional unlockable for 25 so out of the box the roster is already bigger than the original (there were 11 additional characters between psp and 360 bonus/ dlc characters but they weren't at launch). So odds are it'll have more than the original games base and possibly even meet the final number of 36 as that's 3 dozen and dozens implies over 30 plus who knows if they'll throw in playable villains. Also with the games straightforward style implies a bigger roster
The original games had costumes for each character so besides possible DLC characters I can imagine DLC costumes as well.
well with a Japanese dev team we could get some fun deep dives/ unusual pics like say some of marvels japanese heroes for unlocks like say Silver Samurai or Sunfire..... altough probably not the full original big hero 6
Kid Kaiju could be coolwell with a Japanese dev team we could get some fun deep dives/ unusual pics like say some of marvels japanese heroes for unlocks like say Silver Samurai or Sunfire..... altough probably not the full original big hero 6
Hopefully all the money they arent spending on the graphics or framerate goes to a lot more characters being playable, Im talking smash numbers or more.
I'll settle for a better online experience compared to smash.
Probably not, "Must have originated form a video game" & whatnot.
Summoner would be unique.Kid Kaiju could be cool
A big question is will regular sized bosses be playable this time around? Nebula, Green Goblin and even Ultron would be doable as regular characters.
Also we're currently at 16(Groot and Rocket are a 2 in 1) playable characters revealed and we've been promised dozens which would hopefully lean towards more than 36. We'll handily beat the originals 25 especially if we get playable villains. I imagine we'll get over 25 revealed prerelease then we could still get another 10 or so optional unlockable characters in game that are hidden or not elaborated on pre release
There will never be a character in Smash that didn't originate in video game form. Pretty sure that's confirmed.
Are you guessing that all of those characters will be playable? That roster seems incredibly large if so. Is there a precedent or evidence to suggest it'll be that big?
I guess it's more of a pool. The likes of Miles & Gwen could be costumes for Peter.
people are underestimating this game. with Nintendo's marketing weight and the hype from Avengers 4 (or the dvd release), it's gonna be an easy multimillion seller
This was the surprise of the show for me. If this can reach the quality of X-Men Legends 2 and UA1......oh boy. God I loved those games.
Yeah, i think so. It's bound to be huge with kids.
Honestly, this is the kind of game one should consider doing toys-to-life for. High quality figures with this aesthetic and the ability to save hero data to them and bundle character DLC with new figures.
Like, You can buy the digital character DLC for $4.99 but you get a code in the box with the $15 figure. If it's a figure of a character already in the game you get a code for a skin.
And it's not like they need a new toy line. Nintendo x Marvel Amiibo.
Marvel amiibo would be crazy. I don't really expect it to happen. If it does, I'll buy a few.
I have to disagree. Toys to life should just go away at this point. Even Disney Infinity closed up shop. If Disney characters can't sustain the business model, it's a dead end. I think Amiibo are something entirely unique and any attempt to duplicate that is going to fail.
Is there a roster confirmation yet because I only saw one X-man.
Exactly. That's why there should be Marvel Amiibo. It could be the next Smash.
I'd rather see a separate Mario/Nintendo ARPG than cameos in this game. Doesn't seem like the right setting for them considering they are not part of the Marvel universe.
Samus and various Metroid related characters would make the best fit for Nintendo cameos, especially considering the game's story will lean on cosmic Marvel. Captain Falcon would be a nice bonus. Starfox would be kind of cool, but I feel that Starlink happening took that opportunity away.
I thought the reveal was good but it looks really rough. I'll keep an eye out though, since it's Marvel.
This is an easy multimillion seller and potentially system-selling game that will likely cost practically nothing apart from negotiating the rights and will help both Nintendo to sell Switches and Koei Tecmo to finally have a breakout hit in the west.
It hasn't had a series entry in 10 years, and that last one didn't do great.
Marvel makes bank off Future Fight/other mobile games and thus has no incentive to revitalise the MUA brand when there's similar mobile games that fulfill the same niche for more money.
It works brilliantly with Switch's "local multiplayer everywhere" ideal, and Nintendo can exploit the currently Marvel popularity reaching its zenith.
So yeah, makes total sense to me.
Funnily enough Link and Samus were meant to be cameo characters in the Wii version of MUA1, but Marvel said no at the last minute. You can actually find videos of playable Samus running on the PS2 version. Would be kind of neat to see that come full circle.
You're right.
Really loved 1&2 and MUA3 (alongside other games) makes me want a Switch so bad!
I liked it but Iron Man triangle reactor on the head looks completely stupid
The art style looks like MvCI but done in the Fire Emblem Warriors engine. It's like a brighter X-Men Legends.
Why is Spider-Man PS4 exclusive ? Sony/ Nintendo paid for the games to be made.
It's not like these games are primarily meant to be played from the top down and you'll hardly ever be seeing the models in high detail... or that there's 4 human players creating explosions and fighting multiple enemies at one time...
No idea why they'd value overall graphical competence over high quality models. None whatsoever.

They were said no because Miyamoto thought its disrespectful they demoed on Ps2. True facts lol
Exactly you streamline the models so you can put in tons of characters and models
In fact the other thing to consider this is also the one Marvel series that was always about gameplay and content over graphics which fits into Nintendo's mo pretty dang well. That and a team that specializes in character action games and fighting games is kinda the perfect fit
Definitely hope we get a major breakdown in the next direct(which should be next month)
surprisingly I think this might be the hypest game announcement at TGA for me, I loved X-men Legends to the point I was doing a 100% run in x-men legends 2 for the billionth time and Ultimate alliance games were okay.
I really hope it plays more like the x-men legends games than UA, like if passive skills/boosts are tied to costumes again it could be a deal breaker for me personally

If Nintendo's paying for it, it won't be a timed exclusive.
I'm sure whoever's publishing this will allow it to be on multiple platforms.
oh I didn't catch that part
To bad for me I loved the older games but I am playstation guy
While not impossible, the chances are quite slim.
And even if it comes to other platforms, it likely won't be this generation.
