Watching the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 trailer today, I wondered only one thing: “How does Luke cage get into all of these bloody games.” The main concept for the second game seems to involve fusing two superhero’s powers together, and there’s a nice shot of the hulk doing a “fastball special” with wolverine. it’s a small trailer, but I got all rabid and fan boyish over the original Ultimate Alliance, mainly due to its inclusion of Blade and dead pool. Confirmed characters for UA2 include: Captain America, The fantastic 4, Spider man, Hulk, Daredevil, Venom, Green Goblin, Thor, Iron man, Wolverine, Storm and Luke cage. Storyline wise Dan Tanguay from Vicarious Visions says the game will start from Nick Fury's secret invasion of Latveria, home of Marvel Villain Doctor doom. More information when it surfaces.
This by and large slipped me by, and i've just caught wind of it, but it appears, early this month THQ and Marvel Entertainment announced that they have officially signed an agreement for a new franchise: Marvel Super hero squad.
This agreement will allow THQ to publish their videogames on both current and next gen consoles, PC's and even hand helds. Simon Phillips, President of Marvels' game division has this to say: "Licensing of the Marvel Super Hero Squad brand is a priority for Marvel, as we see it as a great entry point for kids to experience our renowned characters. We are making a strong commitment to the brand across toys, television and other media and consumer product channels and developing Marvel Super Hero Squad as a video game will play an important role in the development of this brand." Unfortunately, this seems to indicate that it will be geared more towards kids, and as a keen marvel fan myself, thats dissapointing. Still, Heres hoping THQ drags some good out of this deal and produce some kind of Marvel Vs Smackdown fighting game so I can beat wrestlers round the head as iron man. :P
The first game has been pencilled in for release early 2009, and its rumoured an animated series will be released around the same time.
