Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 announced exclusively for Nintendo Switch (Team Ninja developed, Nintendo published)
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
User claimed game is third party because external company (Team Ninja / Koei Tecmo) is involved.
Me: Metroid Other M image. I picked this example very deliberately. Involvement from external companies isn't what decides whether a title is first or third party.
I don't see how Spiderman has anything with what I wrote.
Again,
I can certainly say that Zelda, Smash, Mario, Metroid...100% want come to PS4/XB1, but I couldn't say same thing for Lego City or this game.
I mean if you dont see difference between situation when you have game with own companies IP thats developed internally or externally, compared to game thats 3rd party IP and developed by 3rd party team, I dont know what to tell you, because that difference I talking about.
Well you've been banned, but my post was more about being surprised at some acting as if this is as big of an exclusivity delay as Bayo 2 (or Spiderman for Sony) in terms of budget and impact.
Not surprised at people being salty over exclusives.
It's most likely Steve Blum. Cal Dodd hasn't voiced Wolverine in a long time.
Hopefully this performs a little better than the last 2 did when I played them on 360! Totally down for playing through this with the other half, she loved those games
Nintendo is publishing so it's unlikely to be a timed exclusive. It probably wouldn't have happened without Nintendo funding it.
I wonder when this started development. It's actually gonna be weird to see this launching before we get any real news about Square Enix's Avengers project.
You conveniently don't see how Spiderman has anything to do with it because it completely contradicts your position. Spiderman is a game published by Sony, the IP is owned by a "third party", the game is developed by a "third party", so is that not a first party game? It's a pretty simple question.
Whether you can say that a game "100% won't come to PS4/XB1" has no bearing on whether it's 1st or 3rd party. That's the part you don't seem to get. The entire concept is incredibly simple yet you play mental gymnastics to over complicate it just to suit a weird narrative.
Nintendo rarely publishes games that appear first on their platform that aren't either:
1. Full exclusives
2. Timed exclusives for many years
If it's #2, the game probably won't release on another platform this generation.
The one somewhat-recent exception I can think of is Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, which Nintendo published in the west on Wii U in 2012 and Koei-Tecmo published on 360/PS3 around six months later.
One of the few worthy announcements of TGA this year. No one saw that coming. (and i'm happy Team Ninja is making it, they know how to make a good combat system)
Soo
Sony has Spider-man
Nintendo has Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Microsoft?

Shame. Cal is the real wolverine imo. Steve does good too but I miss my cal.
Nintendo is publishing it so no way.

This is a small game with a low budget looking at the looks of this one, Avengers titles are big AAA with all the shit you'd expect from AAA games.
First there is no need for that aggressive tone.
Second, Spiderman actually comes on that other category that I mentioned, and yeah Spiderman is considered for 1st party game.
I thought that 1st party games means own IP and internally or externally developed game, you and some other people saying I am wrong, I acknowledged that.
I just saying there is clear difference between situation when you have game with own companies IP thats developed internally or externally, compared to game thats 3rd party IP and developed by 3rd party team. Again, Nintendos own example, Lego City thats published buy Nintendo ended up being multiplatform game, there is no chance you expect something like that from Zelda, Smash, Mario, Metroid...games that are Nintendo IPs, while you cant be certain with 3rd party IPs that are developed buy 3rd party developers.
There is a difference between IPs Nintendo owns and IPs they don't, yes. None of that has any bearing on whether a game is 1st or 3rd party though. That's what Im trying to tell you. Everything Nintendo publishes is first party. Again, it's a lot simpler than you are trying to make it, for no real reason whatsoever.
goddamn, id thought this was a dead as def jam games after the loss of raven (RIP) - super excited but worried by my lack of street vigilantes: where's daredevil, iron fist, moon knight and the like? even others like blade, ghost rider, pantehr etc...i need more of the cult favorites to really get hyped! it's easy to have that crowd-pleasing teams, show me more and you'll have me day 1
My memory is a big foggy but I don't remember the original MUA games looking like graphics powerhouses in their day. Nice maybe, but nothing to write home about.
Plus this is on switch, which isn't as powerful as PS4/XB1. But from what I saw, the game looked great to me.
I acknowledge that, I just saying there is huge difference between Nintendo IPs and 3rd party IPs when comes to games,
because for instance this exclusive game maybe in few years could be multi platform game like Lego City for instance become.
Also, interesting example, Nioh, it's published buy Sony in West, but game is also available on PC, despite I guess that that still considered for 1st party game!?

Yes, there are games which are developed by a first and third party.
There are no indicators that Nintendo is involved in developing this game.
is there anything else to see besides the short Twitter video linked in the OP? because nothing in that video looked great, technical graphics-wise
if people want, tomorrow I can record some videos of Future Fight to compare
I loved X-Men Legends I and II
I adored MUA 1, the sequel was ok... didn't really leave me hyped (and wanting to replay it over and over and over like the previous games).
I'm still excited about this one, hopefully it captures the spirit of the previous games.

It's an action heavy game, so i think they prioritized performance over quality and i'm fine with that, the artstyle is good.
Considering this is Team Ninja they could give the option to choose between 720/60 or 1080/30 as they did with Nioh and Fire Emblem Warriors.
X-Men in so I'm in. MvCI was the only casualty, pity it fell in between the small gap of time of Disney owned outsourced Marvel games that happened before the FOX IP acquisitions.
Not sarcasm, just jokingly pointing out that Nintendo and Team Ninja have collaborated a few more times since Other M.
That's.....not the point being made. And is completely irrelevant to what is being discussed.
Nintendo could have full control over this game's direction. They could have zero control over its creative direction (highly unlikely, but let's pretend).
The fact that Team Ninja is involved with this project and to what degree creatively has absolutely zero bearing on whether or not it's a first or third party release.
Not sure why people are saying that this looks bad lol.
Somehow I am really hype for this game. Hahaha.

This is true and it's actually happened in the past with games like Samurai Warriors 3 on Wii and NG3: Razor's Edge on Wii U....but the fact Nintendo explicitly called out its exclusivity in the trailer makes it unlikely, at least anytime soon (as in, this console cycle)
Team Ninja is a third party and Nintendo is not making the game. I don't get why that is a tough pill to swallow.
That's different situation, Metroid is Nintendo IP and Team Ninja probably had some Nintendo guidance during development, while this is 3rd party IP and Nintendo probably dont have and development involvement.
