Marvel: Ultimate Alliance May Re-Release On Current Consoles

Fans of Marvel Comics and dungeon-crawling RPG's are getting a re-release of their favorite game! Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 are being rumored to have re-releases on the XBox One and the Playstation 4. The re-release was first reported by Gematsu, who noted that publisher Activision had registered new ratings for the two Marvel: Ultimate Alliance games with the Taiwan Game Software Rating Information Board. This indicates that the titles were submitted in reference to re-release on both the Playstation 4 and Xbox One consoles. The rumor hasn't yet been confirmed by Microsoft or Sony. Superheroes have conquered the international box office quite decisively over the last decade, and with that conquest has come a similar dominance of ancillary merchandising – including, toys, spin-off TV series, clothing, and so forth. But while superhero video games have existed for even longer than the current wave of blockbuster movies, the genre has not always found consistent success in the interactive realm. While a handful of classics like the Playstation 2-era Spider-Man games, the Batman/Arkham series and popular arcade-era adventures of the X-Men and Avengers stand-out, there have been numerous cheap cash-ins and assembly-line tie-in superhero video games released in the past.
