Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3 Trailer, My Thoughts

In 2006, Raven Software developed and Activision published a game called Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. The game allowed players to pick a team of four Marvel super-heroes to help fight a plot by Dr. Doom and the Masters of Evil for, what else, world domination. The game was originally released for most of the major gaming consoles at the time. It would be given a rather positive reception by critics.

In 2009, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 was published by Activision, although the game was made by different developers. Vicarious Visions developed the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 ports, n-Space developed the Nintendo DS, Wii, and PlayStation 2 ports, and Savage Entertainment developed the PSP port. In 2016, the game got ported to the Xbox One, Windows, and PlayStation 4. Unlike the first game's original story, Ultimate Alliance 2's story was an adaptation of the Secret War and Civil War storylines. The game would not get as high a critical response as its predecessor, with the Nintendo, PS2, and PSP being given especially poor reception.

At The Game Awards this year, it was recently announced that Team Ninja has been given the honors of developing the third game in the series: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. The game will be published by Nintendo, so this version will be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch. And there's a trailer for it! Let's take a look!

Another day, another crisis thanks to the Guardians. Maybe you should just give up, Nebula.

And there they are. Meet the Black Order. From left to right, Corvus Glaive, Black Dwarf (renamed Cull Obsidian in Avengers: Infinity War), Proxima Midnight, Supergiant (she wasn't in the movie), and Ebony Maw. They're essentially Thanos's elite flunky squad. Fun fact: Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive are a married couple in the comics. Their honeymoon was quite bloody.

I like the game's look so far. Bright and colorful, perfect for superheroes.

I can't wait to play as the Guardians. I hope one of Star-Lord's attacks involve him dancing.

UNIBEEEEEEEEEAM!

It's fun watching Hulk wreck stuff. Hey, they got the Thunderclap!

Spider-Man! Everything is better with Spider-Man!

Ooh, fighting a giant Sandman! That is awesome!

Huh. Seeing the Sentinels and Wolverine was a surprise. I think it will be great to see Deadpool appear in this game, if only to get a laugh out of his complaining he can't drop F-bombs in this game. Wolverine beheading that Sentinel was cool.

I get the feeling we'll see Nebula team up with the Kree in the game.

Uh, Rocket? You're wasting bullets, man. Or laser bursts.

I get the feeling that will not ne all the heroes we get in this game. And I liked Spidey holding up the peace sign there.

Well, this game looks like it will be a ton of fun! I can't wait to see what other characters will be appearing in the game. I hope Kamala Khan will be appearing.
