The Avengers are heading to the Wii U thanks to Ubisoft

It’s not often a big blockbuster movie goes without a movie tie-in game, sometimes it’s a blessing in disquise, but not always. However if you were hoping there was an Avengers game on the way you can breath easy knowing that there is and will be coming to the Wii U later this year.

Ubisoft say it will be a motion controlled version of the game, how this will work with the Wii U tablet (if at all) remains to be seen. Over 20 different Marvel characters will be able to be played.

“The idea that we’re making a motion-control version of ‘The Avengers’ is a unique proposition if you compare that to superhero games of the past. This is the perfect type of game for that because these characters are very action oriented. They’re always fighting and throwing things.” says Tony Key from Ubisoft.

The game is also headed to the Xbox 360 with Kinect controls and is in development by Ubisoft Quebec. The Wii U version will be out after the Wii U launches later this year. Really though, why would you release it before?

Now Ubisoft, do you have anything that hasn’t leaked to show off for the Wii U?
