Nintendo’s unofficial farewell Direct dedicated to the original Switch delivered a ton of surprises this week. From unlikely ports from PlayStation’s catalog to cult-classic RPGs and new cozy games, there was a little something for everyone. But few of these announcement made me jump with Batroc-esque joy the way Marvel Cosmic Invasion did.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a brand new 2D beat-em-up in the style of the unforgettable arcade games from the 1990s. Published by Dotemu and developed by Tribute Games, the prolific team behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders Revenge, Cosmic Invasion is a gorgeous modern rendition of the kind of game that ate up all of my quarters as a child (several of which were included in Capcom’s superb Fighting Collection released last year).
