Did you know that Link and Samus were almost playable characters in Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the Nintendo Wii? At one point during development, Raven Software planned to bring two of Nintendo's biggest icons into the Marvel Universe, allowing players to team up with heroes like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine, and more.
Unfortunately, this incredible crossover never became reality. According to the developers, the idea was presented to Marvel executives using a PlayStation 2 build of the game instead of the Wii version. Seeing Nintendo characters running on PlayStation hardware immediately raised concerns, and the crossover was ultimately shut down before it could happen.
In this short, I tell the story behind one of the biggest "what if" moments in gaming history and explain how a simple presentation mistake may have prevented one of the greatest crossovers ever conceived. Imagine a world where Link, Samus, and the Avengers fought side by side.
