The Game

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, better known as Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order, is an upcoming action-RPG hack n’ slash developed by Koei Tecmo’s Team Ninja. It was announced on Game Awards 2018 to be exclusive to Nintendo Switch. It is set for release on July 19, 2019.

This game has a story and you hack n’ slash through with your team of 4 and take out a ton of enemies and beat the story. Then you keep going doing trials and other game modes so it’s not just a one-and-done game.

Fingers crossed this is good!!!! Pro is its Marvel and if you love Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2, you’ll probably love this. Con is it’s possible there isn’t much depth to this. If you’re a marvel fan, you’ll probably feel at home either way.



Pictured above: Elsa, much like from the movie Frozen, except this one will kill you and probably make a joke about it while doing it. She is as pure as the driven snow and unbesmirchable.

I want Nebula and Jessica Jones to be playable but it looks like that’s not happening.

So who is in the Marvel Knights DLC?

The Marvel Knights team was a name given to Daredevil's unnamed superhero team. Besides Daredevil, the line-up consisted of Black Widow, Dagger, Moon Knight, Shang-Chi and Luke Cage. The Marvel Knights were initially formed to capture the Punisher.

And with that, I would bank on Moon King and Big Pun for sure. Shang-Chi maybe as he is getting pushed in the MCU.

Really odd that Ant-Man is an NPC but Wasp is playable, really didn't see that coming.

Yeah, this is kinda shocking too.

I think the worst part about it is he was hinted at as Playable for The Avengers video game coming out (just FYI, I am not falling for this game being good: The Avengers is looking like Anthem: Marvel Edition).

Hank has a really detailed look in a trailer for that Avengers game but not coming as of now.

So, yeah, no idea why he isn’t playable. You can pull up any Marvel game right now and he is in every one of them. Wasp is not.

Crystal is the oddest addition to me but I’m glad to have her. She rocks.

I'm sad that Cull Karl Obsidian is neither a playable character nor a boss. Will keep an eye on this game to see how good it is though- i loved the first ultimate alliance game.

I thought Black Dwarf was in this. Carl is here.

Edit: he is. He goes by Black Dwarf, his true birth name. Karl Obsidian is just Disney being Disney.

The ultimate Waifu team of course is Elsa, Gwendolyn, Crystal, and Israel Apologist Ms. Marvel. A very top tier team.

But then there’s also the original Waifu, Waifu Psylocke the Psyfu. And Scarlet Waifu.

And then there’s Carla Danvers... and you can’t forget what creates naycha destroys in Storm.

And Elektra Nachos... god drat so many awesome chars.

These games have always been amazingly repetitive. You’re gonna play it a few times at most and put it down, let’s be real.

This’ll get you probably 20-50 hours and anything over that is just because you’re a completionist.

For what it offers, it will be a blast. But I think we all know realistically, we’ll move to the next fun game soon after.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is Dat Video Game, Cuz by Ted Boudreaux featuring Nathan Silvers

Thibodaux, LA—Nathan Silvers, former columnist for hit game Marvel Heroes and other cool video games has shared some insight on his reviewer’s copy of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 for the Nintendo Switch.

Silvers, 47, staring blankly at a wall but intently focused, stated that “The 3” was like “drinking a Mountain Dew Baja Blast and Mountain Dew Sweet Lightning at the same.” The Thibodaux Gazette did not understand so he was asked to explain.

“It’s easy, really. Take all of your favorite snacks. For me, I love a crisp Mountain Dew with a freshly caught Wild Krab Salad, and a side of Kraft Singles. Mix all that up in a cup and chug that. Now get out ‘The 3’ and cast spells on all the enemies. Maggia, Hydra. They don’t stand a chance. I like to play Rocket & Groot, the perfect father/son relationship, and just obliterate the opposition. The numbers back this up,” Silvers said while holding a Nintendo Switch upside down.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is a top down action game where players can take in a variety of 34 Marvel superheroes and use their powers and skills to defeat super villains and henchmen and henchwomen. Power to the henchwomen, who should not be overlooked. Silvers says these henchwomen are paid the same amount as henchmen.

“Henchwomen are paid the same amount as henchmen. I think the thing you gotta look at in a video game like this is how it compares to real life. And I consider The 3 a game based on true events. Imagine spending your entire life training for this one moment. This one moment to be the one who takes down Spider-Man or Wolverine. These henchmen and henchwomen are adults in this game. Just like in real life, they’re adults. Let’s say they’re between ages 18-65. So you have somebody at the top of that scale, a 65 year old henchwomen, who just exited a door in Hell’s Kitchen and then boom, she’s dead,” Silvers vigorously explained with a serious look on his face.

“65 years of training and you don’t even get a shot fired off. Wolverine has torn you limb from limb and you barely even got to open your eyes. You glanced at this 300 pound, 5’3” specimen who was built for combat. You thought you were too but you are unnamed, you have a little laser gun and then your journey is done. You’re dead, along with 1,200 other henchmen and henchwomen. Then Wolverine frolics into the final battle against Sentinels and Apocalypse and Mole Man and then they’re dead too. Kind of poetic don’t you think...” Silvers said in thinking man’s pose.

As we reeled Silvers back in, we asked the million-dollar question. How is the game and will fans love this game?

“Fans are going to absolutely love this game. Nothing takes me back to my childhood like seeing the father/son dynamic of Groot and Rocket. This is a game that the blogs, grogs and vlogs are going to love. Fans will too. I haven’t played the game yet but I do love it,” Silvers said, slow clapping to his own reaction.

We immediately closed the interview down but thanked Silvers for his time. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 launches worldwide for the Nintendo Switch on July 19th.

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.

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.
