Cant wait for this. I think it looks fun and I cant wait to mix and match teams. Hoping for more X-men so I can maybe run a full X-men Team!

Yep.

A lot of people here apparently either forgot how MUA plays or were never aware in the first place.

Or people's taste evolved over the 13 years since the original release. There are also more and more coop ARPG these days which set the bar a bit higher. I don't see why it's wrong to be disappointed with how it looks. It launches in two months and they aren't showing much of it which isn't encouraging considering the IP behind it.

I'm getting this for the COOP action and the Marvel IP but it doesn't look quite good so far. Especially considering Nintendo is pushing it.

I'd honestly get some of the complaints if this was also on the PC or something (not to knock the Switch), but as-is looks pretty solid to me. All I'm looking to get outta this is a fun and brainless beat-em-up with lots of fan-service so I'll probably be good.

The part at 3:14 with 4 local players looks like a headache. The way the camera move along with the visual noise of the combat looks like a pain.

It also looks a lot more 'Musou-y' than I remember X-Men Legends and Ultimate Alliance being - there seems to be a lot of hitting people and sending them flying instead of engaging with a specific enemy.

This is very flashy comic artstyle
This looks terrible, why can't it be cutting edge like the original games?/s

I'm not really concerned with the visual style or gameplay, but the performance does not look very good in that video.

Rocket doesn't sound like Trevor Devall (Rocket's VA in the cartoons in MvCI). Is it a new VA or just different voice direction?

Yeah I can't wait, looks great. It's still a bit unbelievable we are really getting another Ultimate Alliance game, but here it is with a bunch of good old fashion comic fanservice.

Looks like a lot of fun. Really digging the visual effects on some of those moves. And I'm excited online play is confirmed.

Nintendo is publishing it in all regions, including Japan where Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors were published by Koei Tecmo. Never say never but probably completely exclusive.

It's a Nintendo published game. Marvel and Nintendo both decided on Team Ninja on the development. Its very likely it will be a complete exclusive.

Between the "four regular powers per hero" and this footage, I'm considerably less excited about the game now. :/ There goes my hope of this being a suitable heir to Marvel Heroes 2016 / Omega.

There's no probably about it. It's as exclusive to the Switch as last year's Spider-Man is to the PS4.

Oh boy, now we're complaining about the price of the game? I swear, gaming has become an incredibly difficult hobby to share with others because so many of them have developed elitist/entitled attitudes over the years.

Permanent. Article goes into details, but they are publishing in all regions and are heavily involved in developing the game and they are the ones who got team ninja involved with the project

I mean it is a mua successor and intended to be more arcadey. Also it's four regular powers(3 that you have to level up to unlock), a synergy and an extreme attack

Do you get more powers as games go on ? Or is it just 4 only . Original MUA games had unlockable powers

Sounds like it's a capture hiccup. The editors commentating said it ran far better than they expected

And yet in this gameplay video they kept mentioning that visual effects might be "toned down". No real reason to do that other than performance.

I would have preferred 60fps for a fast-paced action game like this but if it has to be 30 then it needs to be rock-solid.

Really strange decision to not put game after some time to other platforms considering it was never exclusive. Not sure i follow business decision here but anyway game looks great.
They're capitalizing on popularity of MCU. And whoever owned the MUA license wasn't doing anything with it. Smart move by nintendo to nab it

Only four but unlike previous games you only start with one and gradually unlock the others as you level up. Also sounds like there's additional traits and passives you can unlock too. Also remember in previous games extreme attacks were a locked slot whereas they are a special button press instead now

Um actually in this case they are considering it to make it easier to read where your character and enemies are on screen rather than everything being hidden by attack effects

This doesn't look good to me at all. We've come so far in regards to superhero games. This looks like the kinda shit we used to get back in the early 2000s. The graphics are obviously better here but meh. Looks like an unfocused mess.

I don't want to say that I'm completely turned off by the gameplay, but my hype definitely took a bit of a hit... this one just might not be for me.

Yup that about lines up when MUA released. Did you never play that game? Not sure what you mean by "unfocused mess." explain.

Sorry if a game you like doesn't like it's a full budget $60 game. I'm assuming by your fake reply it is a $60 game.


I mean, imagine babies were $60 games... You can like or dislike a game, but it is very obvious this is not an indie game or a remake of a 10 year old game, so the price is just the regular price for new games.
