Hero-of-Time Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Just announced at the Game Awards. Quote The Nintendo Switch video game system is about to get a lot more heroic. MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order is heading exclusively to the Nintendo Switch system for Super Hero gaming action at home or on the go. The new game, which arrives nearly 10 years after the previous installment in the series, is being developed by KOEI TECMO GAMES/Team NINJA and published by Nintendo. Nintendo made the announcement with a trailer shown during The Game Awards in Los Angeles. Edited December 7, 2018 by Hero-of-Time 3
Sméagol Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I missed some good stuff apparently (but I slept pretty well, so whatever ). Is this Warriors but with Marvel? it doesn't really look like it. I'm not sure if it's for me. That said.. It could be massive. Especially if they manage to release this alongside Avengers 4.

Think something like Streets of Rage or Final Final but in 3D and with a top down perspective, although the camera seems to be a little closer in this iteration. 1
Happenstance Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 It’s usually described more like a Diablo style game. 1

Dcubed Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 So a Marvel game, published by Nintendo and exclusive to a Nintendo console, developed by Koei-Tecmo and Team Ninja? Is this Bizzaro World? 1 1 1 1

Is this Bizzaro World? I kind of see it as another Bayonetta situation. A series which is well thought of but I don't think sold massively well.

Julius Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I get the feeling that this being exclusive to Switch might have something to do with there being little chance of The Avengers project making its way over. This way, everyone gets some Marvel goodness on their console. 1
V. Amoleo Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Why have they named this Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3? It doesn't look much like the previous two at all (or the X-Men Legends games prior). If Nintendo are publishing it though, I am interested to see how it turns out.
Grazza Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Daft question, but is the green woman She-Hulk or Gamora?

Tim B Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Err, so where are all the reviews for this then? Not a good sign!!!!!!
Helmsly Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 embargo seems to be up https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/marvel-ultimate-alliance-3-the-black-order?ref=hp
MindFreak Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Seems to be about as good as the other entries in the series. Launch trailer:
Hero-of-Time Posted July 19, 2019 Author Posted July 19, 2019 Free characters and character announcements for the first DLC pack. I'm a bit gutted that Cyclops (he was always right) and Colossus aren't available at launch. I need my X-Men fix. I'm still annoyed that Gambit or X-Man didn't make the cut. 1
Hero-of-Time Posted July 20, 2019 Author Posted July 20, 2019 I take it that nobody else picked this up then? Shame. I've been playing the online co-op on and off throughout the day and it's been a blast. There's a surprising amount of depth to it. From the way you time your ultimate move usage with the people you're playing with, to which character you select to grant the bonus power ups you need for a stage. I've not been able to make my mutants/X-Men team yet as I haven't unlocked a lot of them. I'm currently rocking Wolverine and Scarlet Witch as they are the only mutants I have at the moment. Spidey (original) and Thor are taking the other two spots.
