Marvel Ultimate Alliance/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Hey, It's That Voice!: Let's just say that you'll find many regular voice actors across both games, thanks to Loads and Loads of Characters, for example Crispin Freeman and Quinton Flynn respectively as MUA 2 Iron Man and MUA 1 Spider-Man.
  • Screwed by the Network: Both games, in regards to the DLC.
    • The first game's DLC was only released on the Xbox 360, thus screwing Play Station 3 owners out of characters like Cyclops, Hawkeye, Magneto, Dr Doom, Venom and Nightcrawler. Oh, and the Hulk (The one character everyone wanted in the game but wasn't) was in the DLC too, by the way.
    • The second game's DLC was released, and then taken down after several weeks. For six months. It wouldn't be so bad, except a) The DLC was released over month later on the Play Station 3, and the DLC was taken down at the same time on Xbox Live & PSN; b) the DLC was taken down before Christmas, so anyone who was getting the game as a present couldn't get the extra characters; and c) Activision had the audacity to claim the DLC was a limited offer - It wasn't, they just hadn't renewed their licence with Marvel & the DLC had to be taken down. Hell, people who worked on the game complained about this one.
      • The DLC was eventually made available again in June 2010. Several months after people stopped caring about the game. Unfortunatly, this doesn't apply (yet) to Play Station 3 users outside the US, and there's no word on a release date from anyone.
        • And on January 1, 2011 the DLC vanished again, permanently.
  • What Could Have Been: The Wii version of the first game was originally intended to feature Link and Samus as playable characters.
    • Concept art from the first game indicates that in one level, Captain America would take his friends back in time to World War 2, and they would aid the allies on the beach of Normandy. Talk about Best Level Ever that never was.
    • Electro is present in one of the villain concept art pieces in MUA 1, but was not in the game. Guess who shows up early in MUA 2?
