Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order

There’s still more content planned for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. Aside from more costumes that will be free to all players, new DLC is in the works featuring the Fantastic Four.

An apparent datamine may give some additional insight regarding other possible additions for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. It seems that there could be some additional story content in the pipeline, for example.

Here’s a summary of what was supposedly uncovered:

One of the earliest announcements made for Wii U was Metro: Last Light. That release ended up being cancelled in the end, but the first-person shooter IP may now finally be making an appearance on Nintendo’s console with Metro Redux for Switch.

Metro Redux was first rumored for the Big N’s platform after a listing popped up on a Portuguese retailer website. Then more significantly, the European ratings board PEGI just added in a rating yesterday. Those two pages combined all but suggest that an announcement is imminent. 

Metro Redux bundles together Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. There were technical and gameplay improvements, including enhanced animations. It’s unclear what exactly we can expect from the Switch version, though we’ve included some additional information and a trailer below. 

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is kicking it old-school this week with another brand new tournament. This time around, the theme is actually dedicated to a previous entry in the series.

When the event begins, players will only be able to use fighters and stages from Super Smash Bros. Melee. Items will also appear from the classic GameCube game.

The new tournament goes live on January 3.
