Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order Announced

[Derek Metaltron]

Hey. I'm still holding out for Spidey in Smash.

Probably as much as me holding out for a Smash style game crossover with Disney, Marvel and Star Wars (that isn’t a toy grab like Infinity).

[Naked Bat]

the first two games were a blast. That said, I don't have a switch :'(.

If anyone wants to know why the game is Switch exclusive.

In an interview following The Game Awards, we asked Nintendo of America president and COO Reggie Fils-Aime about working with Koei Tecmo, who is developing Ultimate Alliance 3, and if previous collaborations on Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors helped make this project happen.

“It did. What happens in the world of development is you have companies who have positive experiences in working together, coupled with franchises being available, and the franchise owner wanting to do something with a particular franchise,” Fils-Aime told IGN. “And in this case, those three elements came together in order to create the opportunity for that game".

“And we love that," he added. "And we're constantly looking for those types of opportunities. It's the Team Ninja portion of Koei Tecmo that's working on this. They've got a lot of skills, and it really helped paint a picture of what that game is going to be. We're tremendously excited about it.”

Even though I'm not that impressed graphically, I will admit it looks pretty fun.

New trailer

As someone who sincerely misses Marvel Heroes Omega, this trailer really excited me. I love this RPG style approach. It allows players to maximize the number of Marvel characters on a screen. Can't wait to check this out.

[Snoop Dogg]

This game looks incredible. Those animations, Jesus!

[The Kid]

This game will probably test my resolve to wait until next Black Friday/Holiday season to get a Switch but I think I'll hold steady. I see Storm is there, hope we get some other X-Men. Wolverine and Storm are probably the most obvious X-Men to use in a game like this but a few more would be dope. Still hoping the Fantastic Four were playable as well.

New trailer

Wow, the game looks visually awesome and super-fun! Can't wait .

Nice to see Storm .

Given they confirm the street-level Defenders, I wonder if that means we'll see all four? Daredevil is probably guaranteed.

I wonder if Iron Fist will be voiced by Greg Cipes even though it looks like they're going for adult Fist (Grey Griffin will probably play Carol).

[Crimz]

This is the franchise that got me into comics, but if there's no FF I won't buy it.

[responsarbre]

The character designs feel pretty bland to me, just like the mobile games and Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite. I don't know why since they're fairly comics-accurate, as far as costumes go. It might just be something about the art direction and the body types.

Also, I don't know why action games can seem to make Black Widow's Widow's Bites work in gameplay? Sad that they're defaulting to the dumb shock batons from Avengers 2 and the cartoons.

[Holt]

Nice to have Storm confirmed.

[Wiccan]

This is the franchise that got me into comics, but if there's no FF I won't buy it.

I feel like the game probably started production before the FF started being allowed. The X-Men got their ban lifted a couple months before.

[SuperiorIronman]

Am I the only one unimpressed looking at all this?

Things like that make me even more hesitant to pick this up. Because at face value that's something, but in reality it means jack ****.

Marvel wanted it
Good relationship with the company
A franchise being available to work on

That can describe every single licensed game on the market ever. That still doesn't explain how it ended up on the Switch of all things 10 years too late.

[Captain M]

Here's my initial guess on the roster:

Confirmed:

1. Captain America
2. Iron Man
3. Black Widow
4. Thor
5. Spider-Man
6. Hulk
7. Wolverine
8. Star-Lord
9. Groot
10. Rocket Raccoon
11. Scarlet Witch
12. Gamora
13. Falcon
14. Crystal (Yes I'll assume she is confirmed)
15. Nick Fury
16. Vision

Certainly Making it:

17. Captain Marvel
18. Doctor Strange
19. Black Panther

Speculation:

20. Hawkeye
21. Wasp
22. Ant-Man
23. Storm
24. Ms. Marvel
25. Iceman
26. Deadpool
27. Jean Grey
28. Daredevil
29. Iron Fist
30. Luke Cage

That and maybe a few villains as the launch roster. I don't know how they'll do DLC.

Other characters that I feel could make it:

- Psylocke, Gambit, Cyclops, Squirrel Girl, Quake, Ghost Spider, Miles Morales, Spider-Woman, War Machine, Black Bolt, Medusa, She-Hulk, Punisher, Moon Knight, Nova, Ghost Rider.

well, got iron fist, storm and captain marvel right.
