Bayonetta 2 is a different story because thats an IP that Sega probably didnt want to bother funding.

Marvel IPs are significantly more relevant.

I think its a bit odd of Activision isnt somehow apart of this given theyre using that title.

Activision no longer has the Marvel license, that is why.

I was thinking more like Activision had rights to Marvrl Ultimate Alliance.

But given the original games have been delisted, again, that shows Activision isnt wotking with Marvel at the moment.

I've played those Xmen style games on the gamecube, and those were fun. I figure this will be like those games?

The first two Marvel Ultimate Alliance's were made the same developer as those two X-Men games and were basically sequels that featured the much wider Marvel universe. 

Well, if it's like those older games, then this new one will definitely be fun :D

Should not hasve named it ultimate alliance 3 thats fucked up if its console exclusive
Marvel United Heroes is better

Probably because the Avengers game by SE is in development for PS4/XB1 and this allows Nintendo to get a piece of that pie. Also possibly because Nintendo put the money up for it similar to Bayonetta 2. 

But hopefully we get more X-Men characters besides Wolverine. Surely more will be revealed later on, Deadpool will almost certainly make it in after his appearance in Marvel Strike Force. I'm holding out hope for Storm, Gambit, Psylocke, Cyclops, etc. as well.

Considering, the footage of Wolverine had him fighting Sentinels at what appears to be Xavier's school. I am sure we will get more X-Men and Deadpool. But its the Fantastic 4 I am wondering if they are in this game or not.

Imho it'll stay a Switch exclusive, I hope they time the release correctly right next to Endgame because if they do this is a milion seller. I'm a bit skeptical about the overall quality of the game since it's Team Ninja but certainly it's not the Nioh team, but I have faith Nintendo and Marvel overseeing the project will lead them to a good game

I'm definitely interested in this. This game style just looks so perfect for the Switch.

Edit: The only crappy thing is that its published by Nintendo.....so you know that price wont drop ever loll xD


Not true, you can easily find 2nd party games dropping in price quickly. Bayonetta 2 for an example dropped like a rock within a year after its release on WiiU.

The games that never drop in price are usually the high tier first party titles like Mario, Zelda, Pokemon - but even then if you check sites like brickseek, Slick Deals, CheapAssGamer and PSPrices - you can easily find games getting discounted quite often.

Mario Odyssey, Zelda BotW and MK8D were all around $35 to $40 not too long ago - not as steep in sales as other first party titles from competitors like Sony but its better than paying full price.

I wouldn't say its easy to find 2nd party games dropping quickly, at least in my experience.  The only time I noticed Bayonetta 2 dropped in price quickly was because they stopped including Bayonetta 1 in the first year or so.

But ya I was just teasing around, I know Nintendo does have sales and price cut but its rare (likely just on Black Friday or during a blood full moon) but they wont have like a steady price drop in their games like their competitors and other 3rd party games.

Depending on Nintendo is a mistake lol

I price matched Bayonetta 2 for $30 from Gamestop - bought my copy of Bayonetta 2 at Best Buy and it had a copy of Bayonetta 1 too.

I wonder if the Bayonetta 2 from Gamestop was just the single disc that only had Bayonetta 2, while the ones at Bestbuy had both games?  Sometimes Bestbuy workers don't know any better lol

Either way thats a great deal for getting both games for $30 :)

This is making me sick. Team Ninja is showing absolutely no love to 1 owners. Not sure where or when the fallout began but I thought the future looked bright between TN and MS. If Gaiden 4 is excluded from the Box, then I'm selling my 1X and making the "switch."

It had both discs.

I bought my copies before Nintendo announced separation of the two games.

I chose not to buy it from Gamestop cause the employee at GS tried to get me to buy a opened box saying it was new and just used as a "Display item" for people to look at in a glass case.

Not the first time GS tried to scam me to buying a open/used product as a new lol.

Unfortunately I got suckered into buying a display item one.  Sadly i was new to the store at the time.  And few times I'd pick up my collectors editions and they try to give me the damaged box ones while leaving the better condition ones left for later.  They can be horrible so I rarely go to them ever.

It's probably Switch exclusive because the Avengers game from CD/SE is being made for PS4 and XB1 and this allows Nintendo to get a piece of that Marvel pie. Nintendo may have put up the money for it as well. I highly doubt another Marvel Ultimate Alliance game would've been made otherwise since Activision lost the rights especially with the Avengers project already in development. 

It was probably another Bayonetta 2 situation.
