She's in the game they just gave her a red costume and normal face for some reason.

Here is the roster of playable characters so far:



Characters that have appeared but are unconfirmed include:

Ant Man, Beast, Colossus, Cyclops, Jessica Jones, Nick Fury, Nova, Valkyrie, and Vision.

No Gambit/Rogue is sad, but Storm/Nightcrawler/Psylocke/Magneto more than makes up for it.

Here's to hoping we get playable Colossus too.

Got some news.

Basically, you know what you're getting if you buy this. Impressions are largely positive but not glowing. Game is better than people expected it to be. As of right now, we still don't know the full status of costumes but many people fear them to be color swaps for the most part.

We do have confirmation that Loki is the 35th playable character. The last playable character is likely to be Thanos. Elektra, Magneto, Loki, and probably Thanos are only unlockable by doing the Infinity Trials. One person who completed the game said it took him around 15 hours. Even though Colossus and Cyclops have full movesets in game, they will likely be DLC unfortunately.

The end of the trailer on their E3 direct said the pack is Marvel Knights, X-men, and Fantastic Four, exact characters are unknown. It was recently said that this pack is a single pack for $20 and you can't get them separately.

Wow, that's pretty lame.

It is. Whats even more lame is that some of these characters may already be in the game with full move sets but sold later as DLC. It would be nice if Cyclops and Colossus were free updates later on.

Have they said when the review embargo lifts?

Does it run at 60 fps? Seems silly to ask but for this kind of frantic game it's actually very important that it does for me.

I think its tries to aim for 30 fps

Cyclops and Colossus will be available as a free update on August 30th.

The first DLC pack will feature Moon Knight, Blade, Punisher, and Morbius!

Damn that's awesome

But aiming for 30 FPS is kind of a deal breaker for me

Played through the intro level this morning. Seems fun and what people would want. The characters so far seem fun and faithful.

Yep, DLC will include additional modes and stories according to Nintendo.

yeah ill wait but it'll be fun when i do eventually play it
---

I didn't know about the DLC. I'll be getting that.
---

Got my copy and the poster. Pretty excited about this.
---

How is it? Im going to pick it up this afternoon
---

If you play local multiplayer, can others use a single joy con or do you have to use both to play? I havent gotten my copy yet.

I just made it to the second mission and it's pretty fun so far. After the tutorial mission, you get access to a decent amount of characters early on which is nice.

Just tested it out. Other people can use a single joycon. Now, I want to see if Gamecube controllers work.

Edit: Awesome. GC controllers do work with this game.

I just grabbed this and played up to meeting Promixa Midnight

I think it seems fun. Can't wait till I get more people outside the Guardians.

It's weird how close some of the Guardians sound to the actual stars. You can hear Pratt and Cooper a lot with Quill and Rocket. You can even feel it with Drax and Gamora. Though Groot is completely off lmfao.

Wow really? Has there been any other games that the GC controllers can work with other than Smash?

Gamecube controllers secretly work with a lot of switch games. Gameexplain made a video about this long ago.

And I'm personally glad for that. When they made the GC Controller adapter originally for Wii U many people were disappointed it couldn't be used in games other than Smash.

Oh thanks, I guess it wasn't a waste of investment lol.

Just finished the second mission and now Im just messing around with different characters in Infinity Trials. My current team is Scarlet Witch, Crystal, Spider-Gwen, and Venom. Really enjoy using Wolverine as well.

Im liking some of the boss fights so far. Mysterio and Green Goblin are probably my favorites so far.
---

I has the gaem
---

Just finished Shadowland. Nice area.

Im rocking Iron Fist, Daredevil, Crystal, and Spider-Gwen for now. Pretty good team so far. Crystal and Spider-Gwen are good at AOE damage.

My side characters are Venom and Scarlet Witch since I like playing both of them.
---

This game is exactly what i wanted it to be
---

Spider-Gwen is very strong in this game. I think she'll remain on the team until the final boss for me. I wasn't expecting to enjoy Crystal this much, either. She'll probably be part of a second team I make. Iron Fist staggers like crazy but he dies pretty fast from what I can tell. Daredevil is solid.

The next mission I have to complete takes places at the X-Mansion I'm pretty sure. I've been wanting to try out Nightcrawler and Psylocke.

It's a fun game so far. I'm playing on Mighty difficulty and it's not too easy but not too hard. I will definitely play through this again on the Superior difficulty.

I was gonna wait on this but ordered it off Amazon for 38 bucks after tax with 10 bucks off from prime savings and the 15 dollar credit from the Amazon photos promo

Why are we talking when we could be smashing.

I was going to buy this today but it's way too fucking hot to leave the house and I'm not sure I want to buy it digital yet cause I have some games I might trade in.

Brave the heat. The temperature felt like it was over 100+ Fahrenheit yesterday and today but I still bought the game PLUS went to the gym.

Does the game go in depth regarding the chatacters backstory, world and lore? I lived UA1 for that aspect more then anything.
