Nintendo 64 Games That Marvel Fans Would Love

Games like Super Mario 64 or Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time are some of the hits that helped Nintendo 64 become the classic console known to be. Apart from its unforgettable library of gaming hits, it was special because it produced a cartridge-based console. Although Nintendo 64 had 393 titles, any Marvel fan will be disappointed to know that titles related to their favorite universe are so dismal. Today we have compiled a list of Marvel games that the fans should check out on the N64.

Spider-Man

There is no other game that is as good as Spider-Man when we put it up against other N64 Marvel games. Neversoft was responsible for other Marvel games, but none were nearly as successful as Spider-Man. It dexterously captured the hero’s abilities, especially in a 3D space, that added to the overall experience of the well-designed game. In those days, licensed games had a bad reputation, and Neversoft deserves all the credit for all the effort they put into it.

Mega Man 64

Mega Man 64 is the ideal game for someone who is looking for an alternative to the Legend of Zelda series. It will impress anyone who is looking for a feel-good adventure in a somewhat similar neighborhood as the Power Pack series. Because of the smooth textures, the game on N64 was much better than the one that was released on PlayStation. Mega Man Volnutt sets out on an adventure to find the Mother Lode device. Players are tasked to take control of the character to accomplish specific missions along the way to achieve the ultimate goal finally. Mega Man 64 is a fun game and manages to be entertaining despite having below-average graphics.

Star Wars: Shadow of The Empire

Star Wars: Shadow of The Empire is not only an N64 classic but an impressive Star Wars spin-off. It has a lot to offer; from its variety of levels to its tight gameplay, the players have too much content at their disposal; therefore, Shadow of The Empire is anything but boring. Marvel fans who enjoy Star Wars comics should give this game a try. Despite being more than two decades old, it is still quite captivating.

Xena: Warrior Princess: The Talisman of Fate

Nintendo 64 had very few fighting games, and the Marvel fans will have a hard time finding one since even the Marvel games are few. Except for Killer Instinct and Super Smash Bros, it is hard to think of any other fighting game that stood out on N64. However, Marvel fans will be pleasantly surprised to know that N65 did have a hidden gem in Xena: Warrior Princess: Talisman of Fate. It is a 3D arena fighter with decent graphics and tight controls, nothing extraordinary but surprisingly entertaining. It was developed by Titus games, which is also responsible for the Superman 64 game.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, like Spider-Man, is developed by Neversoft. As its name suggests a skateboarding game published by Activision and released two decades back in 2000. It is not only a great game, but it has a direct connection with Marvel since it has Spider-Man as a mysterious unlockable character. Playing with the Superhero on a skateboard with all his acrobatic skills is fun. One can unlock several tricks exclusive only to Spider-Man, which makes it even more intriguing.

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron

Star Wars used to have an abundance of video games, books, and comics that provided an extension for the franchise beyond its original film trilogy. However, things changed dramatically when Disney acquired Star Wars, and we soon saw the decline of the lore from those titles. When Marvel produces a fresh batch of comics, it would be interesting for the fans to give the N64 collection of Star Wars a chance, including Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, a high rated flight shooter. The graphics are good, and the game is simple to play, making it an even better candidate. 

All of these games are interesting and will make Marvel fans nostalgic. There are not many Nintendo 64 games one could find for them, but the above-listed ones are not only entertaining but unique. Every one of them is a must-try, so go ahead give each one a shot; they won’t disappoint.

“Thor: Love and Thunder”- Christian Bale Has Embarked on a New Journey

Marvel Studios is now assembling its troops for the fourth film in the Thor franchise; the principal photography will kick start in Australia in the first half of 2021 (possibly January). Though the production commencement is still three months away, actors have been called up to prepare for the role, which deals with their rehearsals, costumes, combat training, and other necessary things to work on before they begin portraying their characters.

Christian Bale was seen arriving in Australia; he will join Halle Berry, Josh Brolin, Ben Affleck, Ryan Reynolds, and others as someone who has worked for both DC and Marvel. Fans were highly surprised when they heard about his recruitment, given the fact that he has confessed many times that he does not want to work in a superhero film. It will be interesting, though, seeing Bale and Hemsworth go head to head in a motion picture.

We will have to keep in mind that Christian Bale has portrayed Batman in two of the finest films ever made in a superhero genre (The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises). What has also shocked the fans is the fact that he will be playing the antagonist character and his previous experience in that kind of role include films like American Psycho and The Machinist.

Well, ask any critic in the world, even if Christian Bale is at his 50 percent for the film, he will massively overshadow Chris Hemsworth’s performance.

In one of his previous statements, Bale had shown contempt for a contemporary superhero film and had gone as far as to say that he hasn’t seen any latest comic book film except Christopher Nolan’s films, which he has done and Christopher Reeve’s Superman films, which he likes.

Fans are now curious to know what changed Bale’s mind.

A recent report has suggested that he will possibly play the role of Dario Agger, a ruthless CEO of Roxxon Energy Corporation, who was the main villain in Jason Aaron’s version of Thor comics, which was the first-ever Marvel comic that showed Jane Foster lifting Thor’s hammer.

Since Natalie Portman’s inclusion and Jane Foster’s new incarnation has already been confirmed, we can assume that the upcoming film will draw heavy inspirations from Jason Aaron’s comics.

Academy Award winner for Black Swan, Natalie Portman will return to reprise her role of Jane Foster almost a decade after her last Marvel film Thor: The Dark World. In her last interview with Jimmy Fallon, she described the film as “silly, funny, and great” and enthused about her new opportunity of working for Marvel. She expressed her pleasure at being given a chance to act under Taika Waititi and said that she is quite happy to be included in the team.

“Thor: Love and Thunder” currently has a slotted release date of February the 11th, 2022. 2022 will be a great year for Marvel with its Phase 4 films lined up one after the other. Thor: Love and Thunder will be released amidst high-profile tentpoles like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Black Panther II, and Captain Marvel 2.

Fortnite: How to Use Wolverine’s Healing Power

 

Fortnite: How to Use Wolverine’s Healing 

Power

The marvel crossover has made Fortnite Season 4 an overnight success. Following this, Epic Games is now striving a bit hard to keep the game fresh. Thus, Epic Games have now added various new outfits for all Marvel characters and fortunately, this time these skins contain traits of their corresponding character too. Meanwhile, players these days are after the newly arrived skin of Wolverine because this unique skin comes with the instant healing ability. However, first players need to unlock this unique Wolverine’ skin, and for that, they need to beat Wolverine NPC boss.

Surprisingly, even after obtaining this potent skin, most of the gamers won’t be able to regain health skill because it has to be activated. Below we have provided a proper workaround to use the healing power of Wolverine in Fortnite Season 4.

Fortnite Season 4: How to Regain Health as Wolverine

We have already briefed above that the first step to initiate this process is to unlock the Wolverine skin. The regain ability of Wolverine NPC boss won’t allow gamers to stand against him. Thus, they should opt to normal Wolverine Skin that they can obtain quite quickly as there are various Wolverine challenges available in weekly challenges. When the gamers have successfully attained Wolverine’s skin, then they need to partake in any game mode. More importantly, gamers need to be aware because these days, numerous players are keen to get Wolverine unique skin to obtain its majestic healing power.

The simplest and the best way to avoid conflict with other players is to surpass the hurdles by striding upon tall structures available in Team Rumble mode. Once players have successfully defeated their competitors, then they need to find and collect Medkits, Chug Splash, food items and Bandages. Once players have succeeded in gathering all these items, then they will obtain the ability to heal using their normal Wolverine skill. However, this regained ability is undoubtedly relatively less effective than the one that NPC boss acquires. When gamers have obtained the healing ability in their Wolverine’s skin, then they need to visit Weeping Woods to challenge Wolverine NPC boss.

Precisely, it would be tough to eliminate him, but with new regain abilities, veteran gamers will surely succeed in slaying Wolverine’s NPC boss. Furthermore, gamers who failed in taking him down need to practice or craft a strategy to defeat the NPC boss. Moreover, gamers can use Claws Mythic Weapon of Wolverine because it will unlock Weapon X and it can help them to increase their Wolverine’s potency.

Conclusion

Epic Games have finally fulfilled the demands of Wolverine’s fans after they released new Wolverine skin that contains healing power. However, this skin is quite hard to obtain, but with the information and strategy available in this article, gamers can quickly obtain Wolverine’s unique skin.

What Obscure Marvel Character Spiders-Man Could Look Like

 

What Obscure Marvel Character Spiders-Man Could Look 

Like

Recently, a fan-created artwork imagining the live-action version of Spider-Man that could look like in the Marvel Universe. In the Marvel comics, the character is one of the famous characters as the alternate version of Spider-Man. However, the character exists on the zanier side of the comics. Hence this version of Spider-Man feels far-fetched for Marvel films or the Spider-Man franchise.

Spider-Man is the most creepy Marvel creation in the Spider-Geddon comic, resulting from the tragic origin story. The creature hails from Earth-11580 when Peter Parker from Earth fell into the spider colony as a genetic experiment, and radioactive particles continuously hit them. Spiders ate Parker, and they also absorbed his consciousness. And then they all created a hive of his memory, eventually became the Spiders-Man of Earth-11580. So recently, a Spider-Man fan, Britedit, updated a fan art with the same concept. The mage was a creepy and stellar imagination of a live-action version of Spider-Man from the comic.

The success of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in the year 2018, it is yet a question if fans are ready for the zaniest versions of Spiders-Man. Spider-Verse is an American animated superhero film featuring characters including Miles Morales/ Spider-Man. The movie was produced by Sony Pictures Animation and Columbia Pictures and distributed by the former one. It premiered in Los Angeles at Regency Village Theater on 1 December 2018 and was theatrically released in the United States in RealD, IMAX3D, Dolby Cinema, and 4dX formats. The film grossed over $375 million against the budget of $90 million. Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse was critically acclaimed for its direction, story, characters, animation, voice-over acting, humor, and soundtrack. It also won numerous awards, including the 91st Academy Awards, 76th Golden Globe Awards, and 46th Annie Awards for Best Animated Feature.

As Marvel is trying to expand its next Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker inevitably crosses paths with another Spider-Man.

The fan art of Spiders-Man is considerably horrifying and creepy at the same time and with equal measure. Though, the artist does a great job and gives an idea of a live-action version of the character that MCU can pull off. Of course, whether Marvel will adapt the concept of the name is an entirely different question. And will the character be worth launching that would be something unexpected? The above article was all about the fan art of the other character of Marvel comics, Spiders-Man.

McConaughey Could Look Like MCU’s Green Goblin

Recently, a Spider-Man fan created an art imagining Matthew McConaughey in the role of Norman Osborn. And the art gives an idea of what he will look like with Chitauri-style armor as Green Goblin in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man movie.

The Green Goblin is the fictional supervillain featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The best-known incarnation, Norman Osborn, was created by Steve Ditko and Stan Lee. Green Goblin is considered to be the archenemy of superhero Spider-Man. He is initially manifested by chemically induced insanity. The character is a Halloween themed supervillain whose weapons resemble ghosts, bats, and jack-o’-lanterns. Historian and comics journalist Mike Conroy creates the character, Green Goblin, as one of the most terrifying and unhinged of all the Spider-Man villains. The first version was the evil alter-ego of Norman Osborn, but later the mantle was taken on by his son, Harry.

Green Goblin is always a popular choice of filmmakers on-screen. In the first film of the Spider-Man franchise, which Sam Raimi directed, the character was played by Willem Dafoe. Raimi’s second version of Spider-Man, the character of Harry Osborn, played by James Franco, took on the mantle. In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Dane DeHaan appeared as the Green Goblin version of Harry Osborn. Now in the upcoming film of Spider-Man, which is a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tom Holland will play the title role of the movie, and fans are speculating the popular villain’s character in the film. The speculation has increased after the two sequels of the franchise as Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: Homecoming featured classic villains, The Vulture and Mysterio.

A digital artist Jackson Caspersz has created a fan art that depicts Matthew McConaughey in the role of Green Goblin. Caspersz shared that he is inspired by an article in which McConaughey shared that he would like to play the iconic character’s role. Matthew David McConaughey is an American producer and Actor. He gained popularity for performing in the movie Dazed and Confused in 1993. And the biopic Dallas Buyers Club in 2013, where he played the character of Ron Woodroof, who was a cowboy diagnosed with AIDS, that helped him earn numerous awards and praise. He also won the Academy Award for Best Actor (Oscar) for the same movie. He was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in Drama Series for the anthology series True Detective. McConaughey achieved popularity for various films, including Interstellar in 2014, The Sea of Trees in 2015, the Free State of Jones in 2016, The Dark Tower in 2017, and The Gentleman in 2019.

Besides, the art was very impressive and stylish; the depiction of Green Goblin was very accurately created. The Chitauri-style armor is impressively designed. Although the involvement of Matthew McConaughey is debatable and the studio has not yet mentioned or announced his name for the character. The idea of casting McConaughey as the cast of a supervillain is exciting for the fans too. He has the right blend of charisma and can easily pull off the role in a much more modern way than Dafoe’s character in 2002. Matthew will be the art of Spider-Man and MCU or not; that is a question to ask. But the fan art certainly presents an exciting idea for Holland’s Spider-Man.

Thor 4 Theory: Lady Sif Is Thor’s Love Interest Instead Of Jane Foster

Thor is one of the best movie series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The role of Thor was played by the famous Hollywood actor Chris Hemsworth. According to the Marvel comics and the MCU, Thor is known to be the God of Thunder. The movie Thor has three parts so far. The fourth part is in works these days and is expected to release in early 2021.

Lady Sif is an Asgardian warrior and shares a great friendship-bond with Thor. The actress Jaimie Alexander is playing the role of Sif in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thor ended up powerless on Earth after involving in a war with Frost Giants. Later, Sif disobeyed the order of their new king Loki and went to Earth along with her friends to save Thor. Lady Sif was last seen in the film Thor: The Dark World. It is believed that she can return in the upcoming Thor: Love & Thunder.

It is believed that Lady Sif could be the new love interest of Thor instead of his previous love interest Jane Foster in the upcoming fourth film of the Thor film series, Thor: Love and Thunder. The actress Natalie Portman is playing the role of Jane Foster in the Marvel comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sif has always supported Thor in the MCU and according to the Marvel comics as well, but the fans are yet waiting for her appearance from quite a long time.

In the first two movies of the Thor series, Jane Foster was the love interest of Thor, but with the changing storyline, she did not appear in the third part, Thor: Ragnarok. However, Marvel has planned to bring back Jane Foster once again in the Thor series, and according to the Marvel comics, it is expected that Jan Foster will appear as a new “Mighty Thor” in the upcoming fourth part of the Thor film series, Thor: Love and Thunder. In this way, Marvel has a chance to show the love-chemistry between Thor and Jane and also has the opportunity of showing another angle to the love story of Thor in the form of Lady Sif, where she could be seen in a romantic scene with Thor.

Thor & Lady Sif’s Romance In Marvel Comics

According to the comics, Lady Sif and Thor were in a love relationship a long time ago. Even Thor offered his own life to Hela in exchange for the life of Sif. Later, they were forced apart. Thor forgot about Sif after forming a relationship with Jane Foster and becoming a superhero on the Earth. Odin, the father of Thor and the King of Asgard, never wanted his son to be in a relationship with a mortal girl Jane Foster. So, he asked Jane to pass a test to show how worthy she was with Thor. Jane failed that test and was asked by Odin to have her memory taken away. Thor did not want this to be happening with Jane and was hurt badly.

Later, to change the things, Odin managed to make Lady Sif and Thor cross their paths again to rekindle their relationship, and with the result, both of them shared several adventures like the battle with Adam Warlock and other villains such as Surtur, Ulik, and many more.

Thor & Jane’s Relationship Is Already Over In The MCU

According to the comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the legacy of Thor started with the Thor-Jane Foster relationship. But Marvel ended up their story by addressing some lines in the film, Thor: Ragnarok about their breakup even though they shared a great love-bond. So, Marvel has to stick with this decision instead of getting back to the Jane-Thor relationship, and that would be a mistake if Marvel goes back to it in Thor 4.

After discussing some of the essential points regarding Thor and Lady Sif’s romance in the upcoming film, Thor: Love and Thunder, we have concluded that Thor and Lady Sif’s romance can work in Thor 4 because Sif was not on Asgard when it was attacked by Hela in Thor: Ragnarok. It clearly shows that she could find the way back to Asgard and her friends and can reunite with them easily following Thor and his love interest as well. Also, according to the comics, Sif held long-lasting feelings for Thor and secretly gets jealous of Jane Foster. Probably this is the right time for Sif to grab the opportunity of reuniting with Thor.

Thor 4 Theory: How Lady Sif Can Return in Love & Thunder

Thor is one of the best movie series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The role of Thor was played by the famous Hollywood actor Chris Hemsworth. Thor is known to be the God of Thunder according to the Marvel comics. The movie Thor has three parts so far. The fourth part is in works these days and is expected to release in early 2021.

Thor is a key character in another of Marvel’s super-hit series Avengers. People love to see Thor fighting and using his hammer that cannot be lifted by anyone else except Thor. However, in the last part Thor: Ragnarok, we noticed that the hammer of Thor could be lifted by a woman named Hela also, who was Thor’s sister and known to be the Goddess of Death. She played the role of a villain in the last part of Thor. According to the first part of this movie, Thor started loving Natalie Portman, who was opposite Thor as Jane Foster.

Lady Sif is an Asgardian warrior and shares a great friendship-bond with Thor. The actress Jaimie Alexander is playing the role of Sif in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thor ended up powerless on Earth after involving in a war with Frost Giants. Later, Sif disobeyed the order of their new king Loki and went to Earth along with her friends to save Thor. Lady Sif was last seen in the film, Thor: The Dark World. It is believed that she can return in the upcoming Thor: Love & Thunder.

Lady Sif Can Setup Jane Foster’s Arrival As The New Thor

The famous Hollywood actress Natalie Portman is playing the role of Jane Foster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thor was last seen to us while departing for the final frontier with the Guardians of the Galaxy, however, it is unimaginable to consider the role of the Guardians in the film, Thor: Love & Thunder. Jane Foster could play the role of new Thor in the upcoming Love & Thunder. Lady Sif is the key character as she was absent and looking for Thor when Asgard fell to Hela. Lady Sif could find the new Thor – Jane Foster and could continue to find the original Thor to inform him about the new Thor. This can bring back both Thor and Sif to the new Thor from wherever she is operating.

Lady Sif & Thor Will Return To New Asgard Together

Tessa Thompson is playing the role of Valkyrie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is confirmed that Thompson is returning in Thor: Love & Thunder. After the events of Avengers: Endgame, Valkyrie is now the new leader of the remaining Asgardians, who are residing in New Asgard on Earth. There is a possibility that Thor can return to New Asgard along with Lady Sif to interact with Valkyrie.

When Asgard was destroyed by the attacks of Hela, and later by Thanos, Lady Sif was not present to help her people. It is also possible that this guilt may force Sif to return to the New Asgard along with the original Thor and the new Thor – Jane Foster.

Lady Sif Could Become Valkyrie’s Queen In Thor 4

At the end of the film, Avengers: Endgame, Valkyrie was offered to choose either becoming or selecting a regent for the New Asgard. Therefore, it is still a mystery who will become the queen of Valkyrie. In an interview, Jaimie Alexander, who is playing the role of Lady Sif, has mentioned that she would enjoy becoming queen of Asgard. It is also possible that Lady Sif could return to his love interest – Thor. It would be a great scene to watch Thor facing all of his romantic parts, Jane Foster, Valkyrie, and Lady Sif.

After exploring all the details related to Lady Sif’s past life connection with Thor and Valkyrie, we have concluded that there are possible chances of returning Lady Sif in the upcoming Thor: Love & Thunder. Also, the face to face interactions between Lady Sif, Valkyrie, Thor, and Jane Foster will be the best scene of the film, if it happens.
