Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
”Footage Of Samus In Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
Don’t think it’s terribly well-known (and the possibility remains it’s an elaborate hoax), but when Marvel: Ultimate Alliance was in development, Activision apparently were keen on throwing Link & Samus into the game as bonus characters, sweeten the Nintendo-branded pot. They even went ahead and got the characters running in the game. Didn’t work. Nintendo said no, thanks. Bummer. Ah well, this vid’s now surfaced, allegedly of the unreleased content, showing Samus in action. On the PS2 version of the game, no less.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 Crosses Over Into 2009
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance wasn't the best of games for the Average Joe, but for Marvel fans, it was just fine. So those types are no doubt counting down the days until the sequel's 2008 release and...oh. Says here Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 - briefly announced earlier in the year - is not coming out in 2008. It was revealed at the NYC Comic Con over the weekend that it won't be out til 2009 now. Not that you care, since there's enough decent-looking Marvel games coming out over 2008 that you should be too busy to notice, but it's best you know anyways.Wombat Hits Comic Con [UGO, via Aeropause]
New 360 Double Game Bundles Discovered
Yesterday I got an email from a fellow who said he had found an image of a holiday bundle for the 360 and as there wasn't much more information available, I put on my Sherlock Holmes hat and got to work. After some rummaging about, I was able to turn up not only the Elite Bundle, but one for the Pro system as well marked as eventually being available in the US. The bundle will include the system and it's accessories plus two games, Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. These images were discovered on a website Microsoft uses to market their products and while there was no pricing information available, the Elite image was clearly marked as "Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Value Bundle." Judging by the name, one can assume that this will be the Xbox's bundles available for the upcoming Thanksgiving/Christmas shopping season. Unless of course they are saving it for Flag Day, which means we won't see it till spring of next year.

Activision Updates On Marvel: Ultimate Alliance DLC Delay
As we noted earlier, today is April 11th, meaning Activision's planned release of new Marvel: Ultimate Alliance content is a day late. After the irate comic book/video game crossover crowd didn't get their planned downloadable content, it was up to M:UA producer Matthew Paul to calm the angry internet mob.

According to the trailer below, the new Marvel Ultimate Alliance heroes and villains should be available for download sometimes today, though as of me leaving my house this morning they still aren't up. Not that I stayed up really late waiting for them and contemplated taking a road trip to Activision headquarters to personally deliver my points card or anything.When lord? When's gonna be my time?

What Are You Playing This Weekend?
After a harrowing holiday travel experience that left me momentarily stranded in the San Francisco airport, I've returned to LA. Following a generous amount of hugging and kissing of my consoles, then spending far too much time updating my PlayStation 3 firmware, I got some hands-on time with the Gran Turismo HD Concept demo. Somehow, my enjoyment of the Gran Turismo series has skyrocketed, which I'll chalk up to the free download. My roommate and I have spent hours trying to best eachother's lap times, a heated battle that will last throughout the weekend. More »Marvel Ultimate Alliance: PS3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii
While Marvel Ultimate Alliance might not be the best title to show off the graphical capabilities of all three systems, it's still interesting to see how the three current-gen consoles stack up when running the same game. The PlayStation 3 version is noticeably choppier than the other two, maybe a product of the game running at 1080p. If you want a clearer look at the side-by-side-by-side, check out the HD version of the video for maximum nitpickery and flamewar ammunition.

Death Of The Screenshot
Screenshots, who needs 'em? Certainly not the developers of games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance or Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom. Both games got an intense grilling by message board graphics snobs when first screenshots were revealed. But seeing stills doesn't obviously tell the whole story. More »

The Activision press release for Marvel: Ultimate Alliance throws out a casual mention of "over 140 Marvel characters," which is pretty exciting. But then it turns out only twenty of them are playable. Still, twenty's not bad. And what about the other 120? Are we going to be facing off against over a hundred assorted Marvel supervillains? Or do "guy who grabs some lady's purse" and "lady whose purse gets grabbed" count as Marvel characters?
