The early days of Marvel Games have been a mixture of great attempts to shine in the video game format and other regrettable and forgettable ones. The recent success of the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe reignited interest in remastering the old Deadpool game for modern gaming consoles or giving the Merc with a Mouth another chance to shine in this format.

The superhero genre has dominated Hollywood for the past two decades, and Microsoft is rumored to be pioneering its comeback in the video game industry. The gaming company is working on a deal with Marvel to gain the license for these games, and if this deal pulls through, players will no longer have to play on older consoles to replay these classic gems.

Marvel Studios inadvertently gave the fans a live-action adaptation of the old Marvel Ultimate Alliance game after classic heroes returned to the big screen and gave fans a touch of nostalgia. The game resonated well with the gaming community and shows that these classics stood well against the test of time and their relevancy despite the recent surge of modern superhero games.

It is interesting to see how Microsoft will pull this off, and this could encourage the gaming community to invest in an Xbox Series X or S once the deal is finalized. Perhaps this will take the players down memory lane as these games take full advantage of the modern improvements and impressive horsepower of the Xbox Series X.

The recent surge of classic actors reprising their iconic roles gave the fans a touch of nostalgia. The synergy between old and new projects could benefit the Marvel brand, especially after Marvel Games received a redesigned logo which could mean a consistent release of high-quality projects in the future.

Fans anticipated the latest Marvel film to be stocked with cameos from legacy heroes. It is safe to say the movie delivered its promise and sent shivers down the spine of each audience member, and is the closest they could get to another Ultimate Alliance project.

Modern superhero games like Marvel’s Spider-Man wouldn’t be a success without these older projects and others like Marvel’s Avengers could have benefitted by following their example. Hopefully, this deal will remind studios what made them successful in the first place.

These games left a significant impact and Microsoft has the opportunity to deliver. It is rare to see old games preserved in earnest nowadays.

The developers in the past had a great foundation but were limited by technology. It is time for these developers to achieve their vision.
