Back when the Wii launched Link was almost thrust into a battle royale against Marvel’s best. No, Marvel characters weren’t drafted in an early version of Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Link was supposed to be a guest character in the Wii version of Marvel Ultimate Alliance! I touched on this nifty lost piece of gaming [...]

The always entertaining Surfer Girl has a neat tidbit about the Wii version of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance over at such things that never was.

I’m not sure whether to file this as a pro or con for the 2008 Incredible Hulk game, but Edge of Reality is taking care of it. This is the same studio that developed Shark Tale and Over the Hedge for Ubisoft. While those were less than stellar titles in the eyes of the general [...]

Activision already shipped out Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the PS2, Xbox 360 and pretty much every other console on the market.

While Marvel Ultimate Alliance is shipping for every system under the sun, minus the Gamecube, each “next-gen” version is different from the other. You’re still going to be creating a team of Marvel super heroes and saving the comic book universe from ultimate destruction in every version of the game, but the control scheme is [...]

With no movie tie in until next year, Activision continues the Spider-Man video game series with Battle for New York on the DS and GBA.
