Marvel Ultimate Alliance
July 30, 2006 | 11 Comments
Marvel Ultimate Alliance comes out this fall for all major consoles from Activision. The game will feature 140 characters from the Marvel Universe. Most important to me, this game will be available on the Nintendo Wii.
Here is a great trailer from San Diego Comic Con:
This is an older trailer that’s been around for awhile:
This trailer outlines the basic plot lines and shows quite a few non-playable characters:
This game is a four player RPG from the makers of X-Men Legends 1 & 2. Arguably, those games aren’t fantastic, but they can be fun when played in a group. Being the major comic geek, specifically as relates to the Marvel Universe, I am really excited for this game. Combine that with the fact that I’ll be purchasing a Wii on launch day, this will certainly be one of my first games for the new console.
Currently announced characters include: Spider-Man, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Thor, Blade, Elektra, Invisible Woman, Captain America, Human Torch, Iceman, The Thing, Dr. Strange, Nightcrawler, Nick Fury, Silver Surfer, Uatu, Lilandra, Dr. Doom, Black Bolt, Black Widow, Namor, Karnak, Corsair, Death Bird, Galactus, Heimdall, Professor Xavier, Scorpion, and more to come!

X-Men 3: Trailer and New Pics

The trailer is out! I just watched it. Twice. Then frame by frame. I think this is going to rule. Wolverine, Magneto, Professor X, Rogue, Iceman, Mystique, Storm, Cyclops, and Pyro are all back. Notably absent are Nightcrawler, Sabretooth, and Toad. New to the scene are Angel, Beast, Kitty Pryde, Juggernaut, Callisto, and the reborn Jean Grey as Pheonix!
The director has changed from Bryan Singer to Brett Ratner (Rush Hour 1 and 2, The Family Man, Red Dragon) which is of slight concern, but I still have great faith. I refuse to be a pessimist about this film.
Anyway, there were more pictures released at USA Today today as well.
In sadder news, Jackman has announced that he is unlikely to return for a fourth film, but the positive side of that is his intention to do a Wolverine spin-off movie due in 2007.
