Yeah, the Youtube vid posted above looks much cleaner. I'm hyped to play this with my nephew next year.

Awesome, was dusting off my Switch for Smash but looks like I'll have another reason to use it. Always enjoyed the Ultimate Alliance games as well as X-Men Legends.

But Nintendo published a mediocre game half a decade ago. Think about it.

All I needed was my non-gamer fiancé to literally "holyshitohmygodyouhavetobuymethis!!!" To know this would be huge. This'll be bigger than Animal Crossing or the next Pokemon.

Edit: and as we all know, Ultimate Alliance was ALWAYS about the graphics. The 360 games totally didn't look like a souped up GameCube game. 😂

Bro cmon its not gonna be bigger than Pokemon lol

Really surprised to see the negativity surrounding its exclusivity. I thought people are fine with it considering the numerous defense for Spider-Man's exclusivity? Or is it only ok if Sony gets exclusivity? Well, I guess it's a pointless question to ask. Anyway, I'm glad the Black Order gets the spotlight -- and Supergiant is in as well!! I do hope the game looks better in time though.
You answered your own question there.

You know what I mean, fam. Yeah, Nintendo publishing it, but it's not entirely 1st party.

They are publishing and likely funding. It's probably not all that different from the Sony/Spider-Man situation only in this case they reviving an existing game IP. It's first party. And it's a cool sign that Nintendo is willing to expect first party resources in this way.

I played the first 2 to death. This is great news. I was wondering if they were ever going back to Alliance series. Always seemed like a no-brainer to keep making them.

As bizarre as this all is, is this game the western IP that ZhugeEX had hinted Koei Tecmo was working on a long while back?

I wonder how the exclusivity happened, cant imagine Nintendo paying Marvel for it to be developed and contactinc Tecmo and all that, maybe Marvel thought this was going ot be better portable because of the graphics?

It doesnt look as great as I would have hoped it would, but the fact it even exists is fucking fantastic.

The first 2 games are pieces of shit in a lot of ways but I'm still very excited about this

the 2nd game was a step down from the 1st, but the 1st has about 40% of the game being downright awful to play

Huh I have them on xbox one as digital versions playable on the One?

they've were available on current gen for a short window and were delisted again

Don't really know what ultimate alliance is but it looks pretty cool. More switch games is always good.

Looking at the trailer again, I think it looks good, if not great in some parts. I dunno if its because I primarily game with Nintendo consoles, but.graphics aren't everything, and if the gameplay is solid enough while offering a large roster instead of mostly MCU/X-Men content, that is more than enough. I'm not even gonna bother wanting more, we live in the timeline where UA3 is actually happening, what else could I want?

I really loved the first. This is unexpected and exciting news. I hope the leveling will be more like the first game - or better.

The game looks perfectly fine, lol @ the people saying it looks like a mobile game. You couldn't make it more obvious.

watched the trailer again, yea, the "mobile game" is a bunch of bullshit. and it's 60fps. since it's gonna be top-down like the previous games, the game looks fine

Wow, I'm surprised Nintendo managed to nab an exclusive Avengers game for the Switch. Looks alright, I thought it was going to be a Marvel Infinite port at first judging from the art style

X-men Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance were my childhood.
But strangely, I don't see either in this.
It doesn't seem to play the same way at all, it doesn't even have the same artstyle.
I've waited years for this and I'm really let down.

I'm not too familiar with the series but are the roster sizes usually pretty substantial?

I mean from that trailer I'm expecting a shit ton of characters lol....

Reminded me of omega force games, Thougth it was a musou for a second here. But man, this is not the team ninja game that i wanted to come for switch.

Well, but a new game, and exclusive, is still a new game.

About 40 characters more or less, including system exclusive ones as well. Really only missing Luke Cage, Storm, Vision, and stuff like Venom from the trailer and the original roster is almost complete.
