Marvel Super Hero Squad coming to uDraw, 3DS
Only one person has the ability to truly control the raw energies of super-powered heroes: the artist tasked with drawing them. THQ has announced that it will kind of give gamers that level of control with Marvel Super Hero Squad: Comic Combat, which uses the uDraw GameTablet (on PS3, Xbox 360, or Wii) to "direct attacks, wield weapons and build barricades" as Captain America, Iron Man and the series' other licensed protagonists. You can get all artsy when Comic Combat drops November 15. The Super Hero Squad franchise is also visiting the 3DS -- The Infinity Gauntlet, which was announced for most other platforms last July, will arrive on the stereoscopic handheld October 11. That's a pretty good fit, since the 3DS is pretty much a uDraw GameTablet with two screens on it, if you really think about it. No, don't think about it. It doesn't make any sense.
Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet trailer will make Hulk angry
"Every Marvel super hero is unique," according to the narration in this Marvel Super Hero Squad: The infinity Gauntlet trailer. "But not all of them have the same super powers." Isn't that kind of what "unique" means? Join THQ and Marvel in mocking the poor Hulk after the break.
THQ announces Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet
THQ has revealed a sequel to last year's Marvel Super Hero Squad, entitled Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet. The sequel will follow the events of the second season of the Cartoon Network show, as players take on Doctor Doom and his Lethal Legion once again, in an altered version of the storyline used in the Marvel Super Heroes arcade game. Originally, the Infinity Gauntlet storyline involved Thanos killing half the universe, but this time, the bad guys are Doctor Doom and his "Lethal Legion." We gotta know: why the Lethal Legion? How about you rename 'em something a bit more positive, like the Perturbed Posse or Curmudgeon Crew? The sequel will introduce a new puzzle element in which characters will need to use their individual powers to "move or destroy objects, traverse through certain environments, and summon specific strengths to overcome obstacles." Like its predecessor, it offers co-op gameplay and challenges, as well as the requisite roster of Marvel's most famous heroes and villains. Infinity Gauntlet is currently in development for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DSi and DS systems. No launch window has been announced, but as soon as we hear something through the superhero grapevine, we'll be sure to relay the info. %Gallery-97989%
