Returning After a Decade

It has been almost 10 years since Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 came out. Just like the original, the action-role playing game  lets players select a team of four Marvel heroes or villains from a large roster to play with. Now Nintendo is announcing that the upcoming third game is going to be an exclusive on their Switch.

While the second game was developed by Vicarious Visions, this upcoming game is from Team Ninja.
