Switch Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order

[Random490]

I wonder if we'll get any word on the roster prior to release? I want to see some surprises in there. What I loved so much about the first MUA was some of the out-of-left-field choices for the game. I'm talking including characters in there like Spider-Woman, Sabretooth, Moon Knight and Blade. It'll be cool to play all the big names, but I want some of the lesser known characters to get a shot too.

I bet we'll know the full roster by the time it comes out, though I hope they'll be secret characters that will come as a surprise while playing it. Some of those character weren't really an "out-of-left-field choice" At the time Blade was hugely popular with his films, Spider-woman was very prominent in the comics, Sabertooth they were probably re-purposing from X-men Legends to for a quick turn around time, and Moonknight... well yeah he's pretty much always out of left field.

When making these games there's a venn diagram between what Marvel wants, what fans want, and what the developers want. I doubt Marvel has strong feelings over who should be playable, usually developers have to get approval for characters and story and I don't foresee this being a contentious issue. As for the fans, well they already hit the current popular characters, so they'll definitely have room to explore. For the developers it'll be more about who's interest from a gameplay aspect/who is cost effective to develop. That's we're you'll get the "out-of-left-field choice", I already think Crystal and Lockjaw fit that, I would have never chosen them yet they're in that team shot.

No doubt BP will be on the list. After all, might as well have a character so badass, even IW couldn't slow him down.

 

[BMM]

New box art, and 7/19 release date confirmed.

 

[Sithborg]

Nightcrawler, Miles, and Spider-Gwen, excellent.

 

[CB Fan]

Awesome!

 

[MbJ]

So that presumably settles the Venom question. And Black Panther, Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Nightcrawler, Daredevil and Deadpool are all confirmed.

Nice. I wonder if that's it or if we can expect anyone else.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I want gameplay! Lol

 

[guyisnotcool]

Nice. Glad BP, Deadpool, Daredevil, Miles,and Gwen are playable ^_^

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

I hope the DLC for this game reaches 16+

 

[Mad Ones]

Wolverine, Storm, and Nightcrawler is certainly a good start for this new age of X-men inclusion into marvel properties. There must at least be one more X-men character so that players can have a full team. Who else might get included? Jean since there is a movie about her coming out soon? Cyclops because he's the leader of the X-men? A tank like Colossus or Rogue? Mainstream fan faves like Iceman or Gambit?

In terms of the rest of the cast, it's so exciting to see Miles and Gwen. I'm also pretty excited to play Black Panther and Scarlet Witch.

 

[psylockolussus]

Obviously Cyclops. Looking at the roster, I'm surprised with the lack of Ant-Man, Wasp and Vision and yet we got 3 Spider people.

Nightcrawler over Cyclops is a choice.

I'm still waiting for a roster that features all heroes that headline a film, Netflix leads, F4, Gotg, and Black Bolt/Medusa for the Inhumans. And I guess Shang Chi and Ikaris from Eternals too due to their upcoming films. The X-Men can be saved for their own game but if I have pick four as representatives, Storm, PhoeniX, Cyclops and the Wolverine.

[MbJ]

Cyclops and Jean make the most sense, but I could also see it being Iceman or Gambit since they were in the previous games as well. Colossus is another option since so far there don't seem to be a lot of "brick" characters other than the Hulk and Groot.

If Ms. Marvel doesn't make the base I could see them doing some more of the Champions/teen hero characters as DLC since Miles is in the game.

 

[Random490]

July 19th can't get here fast enough.

So that presumably settles the Venom question. And Black Panther, Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Nightcrawler, Daredevil and Deadpool are all confirmed.

Nice. I wonder if that's it or if we can expect anyone else.

There's definitely more coming, seeing as they announce 30+ playable characters and there are only 21 on the cover. Iron First, Gamora, Drax, Crystal and Lockjaw are missing. So I'm wondering if this is the final box art or there will be another update before release.

I'm surprised about Miles and Gwen since their gameplay won't feel much different from Spider-man. Though I fully support the idea of "Echo characters" like Smash Bros.

I'm very happy about confirming Daredevil, Black Panther, and Dr Strange. Still hoping for F4.

Obviously Cyclops. Looking at the roster, I'm surprised with the lack of Ant-Man, Wasp and Vision and yet we got 3 Spider people.

And I guess Shang Chi and Ikaris from Eternals too due to their upcoming films. The X-Men can be saved for their own game but if I have pick four as representatives, Storm, PhoeniX, Cyclops and the Wolverine.

I could picture them leaving Ant-man and Wasp and npc because it might be difficult to develop their gameplay, not impossible just a tougher nut to crack. Likewise the spider-people are probably much easier since they can re-purpose assets from Spider-man. I also don't think Shangi-chi and Ikaris will be playable since when their films were announced this game was probably deep into development and it makes more sense to focus on current fan favorite characters. Those character will become household names but the films are still a year or two out. Probably best saved if it we get a MUA4

 

[MbJ]

Miles has several power set differences from Peter (namely electrical attacks and camouflage), so they'll probably differentiate them on that. I'm really curious to see how Gwen plays.

I'd rather see an Arkham/spider-Man meets Gta kind of game than mua4.

If I'm not wrong, a lot of the playables probably don't have a role in the story, similar to previous mua games.

 

[Mad Ones]

So let's say there are 30 characters (there will probably be more than that), who are the remaining 9 characters not on the cover art?

Crystal
Iron Fist
Drax
Gamora
Lockjaw
Nick Fury

Medusa
Ms Marvel
Jean Grey

?

 

[psylockolussus]

Ant-Man is actually on the cover, he's just too little to be seen. Wasp too. While Invisible Woman is invisible. lol.

Having Crystal and Lockjaw instead of Medusa/Black Bolt is random though I liked that they didnt ignore the Inhumans after that tv show failed.

I would bet my money for Vision as a playable.

 

[psylockolussus]

I reckon we will see eternals dlc. They’ll want to tie in with the movies like they did with LEGO superheroes I reckon

Maybe they should save that for another game? I feel like this would be like Marvel vs Capcom Infinite.

I don't mind that it looks more cartoony or comic booky. If the game and story are engaging over all and the characters are fun to play as, I'll be happy. If you want something with a more realistic design, then wait out for Square Enix's Avengers game. I'm sure that's the look that that game will have. Personally, I can't wait to play both.

Is that even coming out ?

 

[HexualCirce]

Is that even coming out ?

Haha I hope so. I haven't hear anything to the contrary.

 

[Silvermoth]

Definitely looks very mcu so eternals dlc is a safe bet. Can’t wait to play it! Maybe I should get it digital

 

[psylockolussus]

Future Marvel games will have the Mcu on mind, so thats nothing new. But i think the roster is a mix of Mcu heroes/Tv characters/Sony film characters/mutants that were with FoX. I think they might want to save the Eternals' look/costumes in the movie or a bigger game instead of being a dlc.

other have done ant man & wasp and pulled it off but those people aren't on this team of developers.

and yeah I'm thrilled Dare devil's in . but I need more mutants in and I like some new warrior's as well. mile is easy to tell a part and spider gwen is ghost spider now show she'll be cloaking on villain too and may be even more .

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order launches July 19

Assemble your ultimate team of Marvel Super Heroes.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order will launch for Switch on July 19 for $59.99, publisher Nintendo and developer Team Ninja announced.

Here are the latest details on the game, via Nintendo:

In the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order game, you’ll assemble your ultimate team of Marvel Super Heroes from a huge cast, including the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men, among many others.

While iconic characters like Iron Man, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Hulk and Captain America are back, newly announced heroes like Black Panther, Deadpool, Spider-Gwen and Doctor Strange also join the action, each with individual abilities or special moves.

In this new story, Super Heroes unite in a race across iconic locations in the Marvel Universe to find the Infinity Stones before Thanos and The Black Order use them to unleash cosmic chaos. Up to four people can play together in local* or online** co-op, with the ability to drop in and out at any time.

“Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order brings gamers and Marvel fans together in a new action RPG exclusive to Nintendo Switch,” said Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “With a huge cast of Super Heroes to choose from, assembling your ultimate team, strategically combining skills to unleash powerful attacks and preventing galactic devastation with friends has never been more fun or immersive.”

“Teaming up with Nintendo to bring Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order to the Nintendo Switch system elevates the Marvel Ultimate Allianceseries to even greater heights,” said Jay Ong, Executive Vice President at Marvel Entertainment. “With the ability to play at home or on the go, solo, co-op and online with friends, Marvel fans can save the world from Thanos and high stakes threats in any way they like, anytime, anywhere.”

[Gamma Goliath]

I get the feeling the fantastic 4, with maybe the silver surfer and namor would be DLC.

 

[MarvelWarrior]

I really hope miles and Gwen aren’t taking akinga spot from Cyclops and ant man.

 

[Random490]

I'd rather see an Arkham/spider-Man meets Gta kind of game than mua4.

If I'm not wrong, a lot of the playables probably don't have a role in the story, similar to previous mua games.

Don't we all. If they made an open world game with this large of a roster while gameplay as smooth as Arkham my body would explode from excitement. But a game of that scale is very unlikely and would never come to switch. MUA4 would never get made "instead of" that game. They'll either be a sequel or won't, has no effect on games getting made.

So let's say there are 30 characters (there will probably be more than that), who are the remaining 9 characters not on the cover art?

Crystal
Iron Fist
Drax
Gamora
Lockjaw
Nick Fury
--
Medusa
Ms Marvel
Jean Grey

?

I would say Crystal, Lockjaw, Nick Fury, and Vision are all but confirmed playable.

It's a safe bet that Blackbolt, Medusa, Luke Cage, and a 4th X-men are in

Assuming Deadpool isn't taking up the 4th X-men spot, it's anyone's guess between Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Gambit, or Colossus. The all have interesting powers/visual look and fan support. I think it's also possible they may make an unconventional choice though hopefully not at the expense of another character. Seeing Miles and Gwen makes me wonder if they'll add someone like X-23.

I would then say it's likely F4, Ms Marvel, Ghost Rider, at least 2 more X-men, some villains (possibly Elektra) would be on the launch roster or DLC.

Eternals and Shang-chi are longshots. While yes, there are movies being made we won't even see a trailer for them until next year. And they do have much, if any, current pop culture standings and barely have any presence in the comics. Hell the Eternals were killed off in the comics within the last year. I think the teams would rather focus on characters that are currently hot. Specially for DLC, you want those characters to get people buying, but if it's something that already has a huge fan base.
