Marvel Nemesis - First Info

Marvel Nemesis will be hitting DS soon, and it will be alot different from console + PSP versions. Read in for more!

From ds.advancedmn.com: Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects for the Nintendo DS pits well-known Marvel heroes against a brand-new band of characters developed by Electronic Arts. Along with EA's creative designers, Greg Pak and Mark Paniccia of Marvel fame are heavily contributing to this comic-based fighting franchise of the same name.

DS Advanced today was able to get the very first details of the DS version from one of our extremely reliable inside sources at EA. And by the way the DS project is looking, it certainly stands out from the other ports.

The story binds players around an alien genius who is experimenting in creating these super-warriors. These fighters must contend with the superheroes of the Marvel universe to contend for world domination.

Now, the DS version will be somewhat similar to the PSP and console versions of the game, with some of the same characters and levels. The game is a straight-up, 3D 1-on-1 fighting game with elements exclusive only to the DS version.

First off, the title encaptures a side-scroller like feel, similar to previous Marvel games like Maximum Carnage for the SNES. The levels are larger for the DS with cool hidden areas, but the camera perspective is what makes the game so special. Rather than a fixed camera behind your superhero (PSP version), the DS title's camera will be more locked on the level environment itself. In this "3/4" angle, gamers can already imagine the possibilities for this game having direct similarities to Super Smash Bros. The stationary camera is certainly a fresh way of viewing the game's dynamic and highly interactive environments.

According to our source, the game "has the best potential out of all the versions, but it's still too early in development to tell how the final game will play out."

Other interesting gameplay features include a head-to-head multiplayer, with multi-cart play possibly being a requirement because of the game's gigantic arenas.

With the same tentative release date of the consoles, the Autumn 2005-bound DS title is sure to raise some eyebrows as more is revealed in the coming weeks.

There are currently no available screens right now.
