But Justice League Heroes isn’t the only game with news today … if I can put on my Marvel Advertisement Machine hat, the folks over at Joystiq got to play Marvel Ultimate Alliance, revealing console-specific characters like Deadpool and Spider-Woman, as well as the inclusion of classic Activision mini-games:

Retro (like 1980s retro, dig it) Activision games appear in Ultimate Alliance as minigames that your characters have to defeat in order to unlock different parts of Arcade’s Murderworld level. In the Breakout room, you come across a HUGE playfield, and you have to maneuver the block at the bottom with your character, dragging it back and forth to deflect the ball and break all the bricks. Once you’ve cleared them all, a door somewhere will open. We only played the Breakout level, but as evidenced by the stunning graphics below, Pitfall appears as well. These helped break up the monotonous mowing down of henchman, and was sometimes more fun than blasting away at no-gooders like the Mandarin and Shocker.

Time to dust off my gaming console …
