Super Heros are cool.  Villains are even cooler.  With 24 playable characters, Activision’s Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 combines the two sides for an all out smash’em up RPG action game.  Ultimate Alliance 1 was just a prototype set up to enhance Ultimate Alliance 2 with a rework of characters, attacks, and fused attacks between two super hero’s that allow for maximum damages.  This time a civil war splits up all the hero’s and villains in Ultimate Alliance.  Choose Rebel and you’re an outcast to the U.S. government “attempting” to clean up the streets in order to increase national security via the Superhuman Registration Act.  Or would you rather work for “the man” and with their help abolish those who oppose? Choice is yours!  Also, here’s another chance to play as Wolverine again!

If you’re a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 fan, a demo will be available this Thursday on the PlayStation Store.  Unfortunately, the demo will not land on XBox Live I’ve grown to love this game, even though I was hesitant at first.  Who would have know that a game mixing 2 separate forms of characters would have succeeded.  It just seems like Marvel is the new Cranberry of video games.  Trying to stick themselves in every game.  But that’s a good thing… right?

It appears many fans of the latest downloadable game, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, are Xbox and PS3 fans as well.  Just to solidify their fandom for the next gen console and leave off the little white console that could, the Wii will NOT be getting their dose of Marvel vs. Capcom 2.  As reported on GoNintendo, the space alone is a great reason the WiiWare download is not possible on the Wii console.  There’s also the fact that since it’s a download as opposed to a retail, Capcom cannot give it a go without an approval from Marvel.

So for now Wii fans, stick to your Virtual console releases.  Because this deal looks exclusive to the PSN and Xbox Live Marketplace.
