"Some of you may or may not have seen pre-alpha footage for an Avengers game that surfaced around the time the movie was released in theatres. It was only a few minutes worth, but the concept looked great. It showed off a four-player cooperative game played from the first person perspective, where you could play as Thor, Iron Man, Captain America or the Hulk. Sadly the project was ditched for whatever the reason and Ubisoft took on the mantle and changed the game entirely. Originally released as a Kinect title, Avengers: Battle for Earth has been re-released for the Wii U. The game completely ditched the first-person idea in favour of a third-person brawler and while it has its moments, Avengers: Battle for Earth ultimately feels like a missed opportunity."

I’ll open this by saying that Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth (Wii U) is a terrible game. Like, it’s REALLY BAD, you guys. The most repetitive, simplistic, fighting game I’ve played in my memory, and certainly the worst game I own for the Wii U. “SO WHY DO YOU OWN IT?” Well, I’ll tell you: because my six-year-old son loves it.
Nintendo Life: Let's face it – for the uninitiated, the fighting genre can be daunting. Millisecond-perfect timing and the memorisation of several-button-presses-long combos are often essential to win, and unfortunately not everybody has enough time to spend shining up their Shoryukens. Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth lowers the entry barrier to the genre, ensuring that anybody can get in on the action, though its overly simplified approach may have hardcore fighter fans sneering “zero” rather than “hero”.
Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth is a fighting game developed by Ubisoft Quebec. It was originally released for Xbox 360 (Kinect) at the end of 2012, though has now been released on the Wii U
