A few years ago, THQ’s promising-looking Avengers game was leaked. It was later presumed that the first-person co-op beat ‘em up title would have made its way to Wii U.
Unseen 64 filed a new report on the canned Avengers game today with tons of information and assets pertaining to the project. Regarding Nintendo-specific plans, the site says that “plans for an eventual Wii U version of the game were drawn”, but “development on it had yet to begin”. It would have been a port of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release “with extensive” implementation of the GamePad.

(Well, it’s a little late at night but I think this’ll do…)
Hello all, Austin here. Most of you don’t listen to our podcast, but if you did, you would know that we’ll be restarting the podcast-tied “Book Club” again all about the video game The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. If you’ve never heard of or participated in a book club, it’s pretty much what it sounds like: We all play a game at sort of the same pace, and every week we discuss in detail that week’s goings on in the game on “Here’s a Podcast”.
You can share your thoughts on the first part of the game using the Google Form below, or feel free to post a comment. Remember, we aren’t looking for general thoughts on the game– we want thoughts about this particular section of the game! Play along with us, or go based on memory, but we like depth because we love games. Hooray!
We’ll select a few of your guys’ thoughts to read on the podcast and help spur further discussion, so leave a name and location if you like.
For this week: From the beginning of the game through the game’s first temple, the Eastern Palace.
Tell us your thoughts with this easy and handy form!
~Austin
