It only took about two and a half months, but I finally was able to find a second nunchuk wii controller thingee. That might not mean anything to anyone, but yesterday was an important day. I left work as soon as I found out it was shipped, called Simon over at 10PM for some Marvel Alliance action.

Hitoshi is familiar with the series, from when we beat that stupid X-Men Legends game last year. Run around confusing levels as Marvel superheroes. Smash lots of stuff. Collect points to level up your characters. Smash more stuff.

The game was sitting shrink wrapped for more than a month, as it's not a game that's any fun to play yourself. Thanks Simo for indulging me with my obsession!

We're only an hour and a half in, but it's pretty fun so far. I wish I could justify spending the extra $160 to have the hardware so that four of us could all play together.

Not too much to say about it so far, but we do know this: Invisible Woman is a lousy fighter, there is actually a Marvel villian named Radioactive Man (he's Chen Lu, nuclear physicist from the People's Republic of China ), and Moon Knight?! Really?!

Now here's the question of the day: who do you think is the more fully functional android? Data or Vision?

Here's the opening eye candy video for the game.
