......Hahahahahaha. Well, alright.

I'm guessing it's not film unless it's Avengers, it probably wouldn't be tv since we've had like four announcements on that front, we just got a game trailer, so I dunno, really.

[Expletive Deleted]

Another Stephen King deal, maybe?

I dunno. I mean, there's vague, there's really vague, and then there's this.

[SquidSquod]

Is it Lord Thanos?

[Expletive Deleted]

Is it Lord Thanos?Nah, he's DC exclusive, these days.

Seriously, though, the release makes it seem more like a media deal announcement than a character or storyline announcement. Although, of course, I could be wrong.

[RedRonin]

The Spider-Man musical?

[Grapeweasel]

Will it be porn?

Please, God, let it be porn.....

[dademan]

Maybe DC and Marvel are merging....

I'm just kidding, please don't beat me with a stick! *cowers*

[drwho]

Maybe this is the big horror event I have been waiting for the past 8 years to finally show up. If it was films maybe they are adapting the puppetmaster movies since they were put out by full moon. lol

I think, like one poster on marvel.com, it's something to do with Nintendo's WiiWare service...maybe distributing comics through it?

Clues:


"Nth degree" = "Nintendo", aka "The Big N"
Marvel say "one of the biggest names in entertainment (we didn't say comic books, we said ENTERTAINMENT)". Well, Nintendo is surely one of the biggest names in entertainment.
Marvel also say "The 'game' is about to be changed"

Sounds like a good probability here from the clues you've outlined here.

I don't think its comic distribution I think its a new brand of comic book based games that allow you to simulate characters powers in new and exciting ways.

Might even have new hardware ala Guitar hero. Can you imagine WII based Wolverine game with Wolverine gloves.

[Lord S]

Marvel jumping back into bed with Capcom? God please let it be so...

[B. Kuwanger]

Isn't it about time? They can make an 8 bit Marvel vs Capcom 4.

[BugsySig]

A World of Warcraft type Marvel game?

A Spider-Man game with webshooters would be cool too. :biggrin:

[Bingo!]

A Marvel MMORPG by Capcom would make me tinkle!

[Jack Tango]

Where's Rich Johnston when you need him?

[escapegoat]

Marvel Online fell completely apart, so I doubt it'll be another attempt at a MMORPG...

Larry Hama's coming back to revive the Ultimate Ninja!!!!

Seriously, I'm actually a little depressed it took a page or so for someone to mention Nth Man.

[escapegoat]

Pfffffft!.....If he's so ultimate, then why does he need a gun? :confused:

Or is that what makes him so ultimate?

It was the mullet.

And the midget fetish.

[Zombiezilla]

Well...the sequel to Ultimate Alliance should be getting ready to make it's first showing, so maybe that is it? Is the sequel is still planned. But that would go along with the Nintendo speculation.

[tornshattered]

What about doing a marvel TV show. like heroes. And then it would be interactive (with internet adresses and phone numbers)

God I'd love that to be true. Two of my biggest loves, gaming and comics, with my favourite company in each, Marvel and Ninty? Yes, please!

Well, glad to see that Marvel and Stephen King have been getting along swimingly. But it just sort of gets a "meh" from me.

Larry Hama's coming back to revive the Ultimate Ninja!!!!

No, but he will be writing the new GI Joe series that's coming out soon.
