LOL, idiots, it's on PS2, I can't believe they sent them a demo video filmed on a Sony software! What a gip, I love my PS2 but that ruined the Wii version.
@MMRED She and Link were supposed to be Gamecube/Wii exclusives, but Activision screwed up by making them playable in the PS2 version's beta. Nintendo got word of this mistake and ordered them to remove both Samus and Link.
Too bad they didnt make to the final version, Imagine how cool would i be to have a game where you can play as Samus, Spiderman, Ghost Rider or Iron Man.
They weren't going to "put" Link and Samus in the PS2 version; they were simply using the PS2 build to demo the characters since they hadn't gotten Wii development kits in time to show the characters actually running on Wii.
@kingkonz1 its not a hack. it was supposed to happen but ultimate alliance has a playstation engine that can be ported into other consoles. samus was not compatible because he ran from nintendo's engine. if he was in the game he samus would run on playstation engine. that would cause a lawsuit. very complicated and yet stupid setback.
note to developers: If you ever want to use console exclusive characters in your 3rd party game, DON'T BETA TEST THE CHARACTERS ON THE OPPOSING SYSTEM
Guys, think. If Link or Samus were in the game, it'd be REALLY weird. Like, all these marvel characters with one or two nintendo characters. They should make Nintendo: Ultimate Alliance. With samus, link, bowser, mario, luigi, and basically everyone from SSBB.
@DeltaAlphaNuStudio Now a days it wouldnt be weird at all. Just look at the cameos we're getting: Snake and Sonic in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Kratos and Freddy Krueger in Mortal Kombat, Cole from Infamous in Street Fighter X Tekken. Link might have been a bit weird but I think Samus would have fit in perfectly.
Rule of thumb, if your not sure about something being in a game, don't publicize it. Keep it in the game, and don't mention it until after it hits store shelves.
Wow, why Nintendo? You could have just made a deal to allow them to use the characters in the game for a few thousand dollars. It would have attracted many more purchases of the Wii version and gave attention to those two franchises to people. Sadm both companies' loses.
@strongo25 *sigh* for all they know the game could be major shit. Besides it wouldn't fit in. Unless it's an alternate universe( compared to the universes they're from) it would make as much sense as reach and that's not what they were aiming 4
@CheeseburgerTurtle No, it doesn't have to in certain times. When u present a plot that's suppost to be a backstory, it better make sense. Besides, guys would then beg nintendo 2 use thief characters in their games and shit. It's like with the playstation, copyright doesn't work like that.
They should make a marvel ultimate alliance special addition were samus and link are in it and samus's alternate costums should be the power suit, varia suit, gravity suit, phazon suit, and link's should be ranch clothes, hero's clothes, zora armor, and magic armor! XD
I hope Nintendo decides to make a special edition version of marvel ultimate alliance with those characters in it and samus would have alternate costumes : power suit, varia suit, gravity suit, phazon suit, and ultimate XD

Wrong. You CAN only have one player selected. And these were potential pitches to Nintendo as bonus characters. Why they got cut nobody knows for sure.
@bowbay maybe if they had asked for permission to use the chars they could have done some thing how soulcalibur did, characters exclusive to each system :\
This video is from a demo reel of an ex-Vicarious Visions developer known as "Space Jase". It was played on his hardware only to show his work on the character. We don't know why Nintendo dropped this idea (even though the rumor is the demoed in on the PS2), just that he used Sony hardware to record this video.
...i bet if they didnt feature them on the PS2 or XBox, Nintendo would have been ok with it. BUT the makers of MUA were dumb enough to demo this on PS2 controls. Besides, Link was featured on Soul Calibur 2.
Just imagine Samus blasting Dr. Doom's goons xD
