How the crap can this not be done in the Wii Shop channel?

8 new characters is potentially hours of entertainment. I've bought worse for 800 points.

I'd replay the whole game twice with these two new teams.
Alright I am. I'm yelling! I'M YELLING! I'M...
Then why would you play a superhero game in a genre you don't like?

Superhero genre. Not game genre.
It figures it would be 2 months after I've traded in the game back to EB.
Maybe I can find it again for cheap. I must play as the Hulk and Venom.
WHAT THE FUCK?
Cowboys....have tentacles? o_O
WOO!
The ones in your av have warm in the pants tentacles.
512MB ain't alot of space to devote to such things you know. If you think the actual capability ain't there or can't be added by a firmware upgrade...
It's really just a matter of space.
Completely correct.
:^: For everyone else, especially Nightcrawler.
Unless they also update the firmware in such a way that we could use content stored on an SD card.
Yes. However, what I've bolded is also completely incorrect.
Of course, I'm talking about Howard the Duck. *waaaaugh*
Better yet, Zombie Howard the Duck.
i needs me some venom

I am a poor man. I cannot afford an Xbox 360.
Stop making me want one.

I didn't like X-men Legends, but I really enjoyed Marvel Alliance. The combat mechanics are deeper. The camera angles are sometimes mixed up in fun ways. It's just a much more diverse experience than X-men Legends games were.
Dr. Doom fighting against the forces of Dr. Doom? Nightcrawler saving either Jean or himself in Mephisto's Realm? or are these just going to be comic missions you think? maybe they will toss in some silly, witty dialouge to point out the absurbity of it.
i dont know.

Otherwise yeah you could do some fighting game style absurd mirror dialog. "Damn, you're handsome, I think I'll call you Nightcrawler 2".
Edit: Also why no Black Widow or Captain Marvel? I know they have to reskin BW and CM for 360, but surely it isn't that hard when they're making entirely new ones from scratch.
