Except the only Nintendo games called first party are usually the ones made by Nintendo themselves. Who made BotW, Smash, and the various Mario main title games?

I don't know anyone who calls Pokemon, Luigi's Mansion, TLoU or Spider-Man first party games. Maybe Pokemon though, but not the others.

Smash was made by namco bandai supervised by sora ltd, a group put together just to hire Sakurai. Luigi's Mansion isn't a first party game, yeah ok.

If anyone is wondering how a villain like Thanos would be playable(while Loki and Magneto are more anti-heroes) all I can say is it makes sense in context.

The icon is really good. A more spaced out version of the box art, maybe a little better than the box art.

No it's a first party game. Disney asked nintendo to make the game, then Nintendo contracted team ninja to make it for them. If it's a "2nd" party game so are Pokemon, Luigi's Mansion, the last of us and Spider-Man.

Sony owns Insomniac, so that last one doesn't really count for your analogy.

Adding ya even though I won't have the game until whenever USPS comes by tomorrow. Speaking of that, anyone know how Switch games fare in the heat cause it's like a billion degrees here in the Midwest and I may not get to the mail quick.

In the SA Gamers discord, I have the ultimate alliance channel up (we all played Marvel Heroes and well, we like the Switch too) so if you want to pop in, say hey and group, come on down. I’ll do a safe google sheet too for those who want to throw their player ID poo poo in there too so we can group.

Tomorrow is a big day. I’m pumped to play as some of my favorite chars like (lists all the playable chars).

https://discord.gg/364rsdd and you’ll see the ultimate alliance channel in the switch category. Just mute AND hide any channel you don’t care about. We play video games.

My former coworker, aps4 owner and comic book nerd, consistently talked about how it was 'fair" the new Spider-Man was exclusive but mua3 isn't because several reasons.

He was broke poet, not a console warrior, but it was still really sad

In fairness, Thanos has had a few solid runs here and there where he was an unapologetic antihero, most notably in the run-up to the old Annihilation miniseries. It's only been relatively recently that Marvel's reset him back into full-fledged genocide mode in the comics.

Nintendo posted all of that on the official Twitter (with pictures), not sure if it's spoiler.

However they also posted that they only showed "a few" of the Marvel Knights characters.

...Does Team Ninja do large DLC packs or something?

Eh, other people were putting tags up, so I played it safe. I personally don't there's anything in the game that justifies spoiling that I've seen, but that's just me.

It sounded like there might be more in the MK pack, but I wasn't sure. I think there might be more than four characters per pack as I suspect the FF pack will also include Doom.

At least now I've got some more folk for Elsa to play with, thematically speaking.

Their main franchise, the Dead or Alive games, are famous for having dozens of alternate costumes per character, and the last couple of DOAs have really leaned into costumes as DLC. IIRC, a "complete edition" of DOA5 would cost you something like US$1200.

If MUA3 really takes off, there probably aren't that many Marvel characters that won't eventually make it in. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Howard the Duck.

I would play the poo poo out of that. I think the event was one of my favorite in recent memory.

I also want a game based on the Seige (of Asgard) complete with the evil Avengers. (Although for some reason both the FF and Xmen sat that one out)

There’s tons of opportunity. The deepest marvel game is somehow on a phone (Future Fight) and they’re over 200 Playable now. Hell, the characters have even more skills in that than this game.

What’s cool is if this DOES get deep support, they could eclipse the Marvel Heroes roster which was over 60 (very deep skill trees though by comparison) but most importantly, a lot of cool level and character opportunity here.

so far, it seems to be the case that every character only has one alt skin and it is just a palette swap. entirely possible there is more people haven't unlocked yet, but personally i doubt it.)

There’s a preorder bonus for a chef Deadpool skin so it’s not off the table, and previous MUA games used costumes to put in extra characters. Beta Ray Bill was an alternate costume for Thor.

I'm not sure if the Deadpool costume is preorder only, I think it's just like the Smash Bros. one where you buy it, you get the costume.
