Today, Nintendo held a Nintendo Direct event where the new “Marvel Cosmic Invasion” game was announced. The game will be done in the retro brawler style by the developer of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge.”
When it releases later this year (around the holidays), it will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, along with Xbox.
My husband is going to love this. He likes the TMNT game and this type of retro-style game.
Here is the “Marvel Cosmic Invasion” trailer.
This is the write-up for the game.
“Opening with spectacular hand-drawn animation reflecting the game’s visual homage to colorful ’90s era Marvel comic books, Dotemu revealed the first set of playable characters from the roster: Captain America, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Storm, Phyla-Vell, Venom, and Nova. The trailer’s sneak peek at gameplay finds these legends uniting to throw down against menacing enemies in classically inspired side-scrolling brawls.
In Marvel Cosmic Invasion the immortal Super Villain Annihilus has launched an unprecedented attack across the galaxy, threatening all life as we know it. Fighters both Earth-born and cosmic must now join forces in a star-spanning adventure against the deadly Annihilation Wave. Brawl through the streets of New York City all the way to the depths of the Negative Zone to foil Annihilus’ vow to spread death across the cosmos.
Choose and control your own team of two characters while tagging between them mid-fight with the innovative Cosmic Swap system, capitalizing on distinct superpowers and special attacks to create unique team-ups and dish out devastating damage. Unlock stellar powerups and rewards while experimenting with different duos and bash through a fantastic collection of locales and nemeses from the Marvel universe. Marvel Cosmic Invasion’s action includes a range of accessibility features, empowering the whole family to be Super Heroes (or villains), and supports four-player drop-in/drop-out local and online co-op with crossplay.”
