Hero-of-Time Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Ubisoft has announced Avengers: Battle for Earth. It's made by Ubisoft Quebec and is due out on Kinect for Xbox 360 and Wii U. Battle for Earth is a motion control game based on the Secret Invasion comic book storyline, not the recent Marvel film. It revolves around Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk and Thor (sorry Hawkeye and Black Widow), who fight a genetically altered Skrull alien race. Over 20 Marvel characters feature. "We are excited to team up with Marvel Entertainment to bring some of the most iconic comic book characters from the Marvel line-up to life in motion-gaming," said Ubisoft US sales and marketing boss Tony Key. "Fans of the Marvel universe and superhero games are going to love the extensive combinations of characters, motion-controlled moves and competitive gameplay." Marvel games chief Andreea Enache-Thune added: "For the last few years, Marvel has positioned itself to deliver the absolute best in entertainment, be it in film, animation, comics or games. Partnering with Ubisoft is a big part of that ongoing movement. We are confident that Ubisoft's talent matches Marvel's own commitment to making the Avengers: Battle for Earth the best in the motion-controlled gaming category." The game will launch at some point after Nintendo launches the Wii U, expected in time for Christmas 2012. More information will be announced at the E3 trade show next month. No doubt it will be pants, but it's nice to see another Wii U game being announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pratty Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I long for a really good superhero game. With all that action and those colourful characters it's so disappointing when they often turn out average at best. The last two really good ones I've played were Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and Batman: A.C. The rumour was for some sort of Marvel Heroes game on the Wii-U, if it's not based on a movie then it probably stands a better chance of being decent.

Agent Gibbs Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Now if they'd announced something based of a system like MUA or X-men legends i'd be happy but then its for WiiU AND KINECT let me look at what Kinect has done for other movie based games *Looks at Star Wars* This is going to bomb harder than Loki's head when Hulk used him as a play thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I loved how it focused on X-Men and Spiderman. It seemed like "Look, we got them and the films didn't!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I loved how it focused on X-Men and Spiderman. It seemed like "Look, we got them and the films didn't!".Yeah I liked that too! The only two Marvel characters that I'd really like to see Marvel get the rights back too; and Wolverine in the right suit too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
