00:00Hey, what's poppin' Gamer Nation? You know this is B, GionGamer64, and I welcome you to the unboxing of Marvel
00:09Cosmic Invasion on Nintendo Switch.
00:13And this is one game that has been on my wish list, but I kind of forgot about it, you
00:19know, as far as following when the game was going to be released physically.
00:26But yeah, so it was on eBay, came across it, got the standard copy for $30, and I really had
00:34to get this one, man.
00:36I think it's like an homage to, like, you know, the retro Marvel games of yore.
00:41So, you know, X-Men Arcade, and, you know, some of the Spider-Man beat-em-ups, like on Super
00:47Nintendo and stuff.
00:50But yeah, man, so frickin' happy to have this.
00:54But yeah, take a look at the cover here.
00:58Pretty dope, and also happy that Venom's in this.
01:02I was even happy when he was in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, which I have on PS2.
01:11And you better believe he was on my team.
01:16Hmm, that's, uh, interesting-looking Thor there.
01:21Kind of like a Beast Thor or something.
01:24I don't know what's going on with that.
01:27And then we got the old-school Wolverine.
01:29Brown in yellow.
01:31Or, no, tan in yellow.
01:34We got She-Hulk.
01:36Rocket Raccoon.
01:38I think that's Ghost Raider there.
01:41Storm.
01:41Iron Man.
01:43Cap.
01:43Surprised to see Silver Surfer.
01:45That is awesome.
01:47Captain Marvel.
01:49Dark Phoenix.
01:50Keep forgetting this character.
01:52It's like...
01:53The one character you don't really know for Marvel.
01:58But you know what they look like.
02:00But, yeah.
02:02But anyways, yeah.
02:03So, this game was made by Dot Emu.
02:05Same people who worked on the PM&T Shredders Revenge.
02:09And I think Streets of Raid 4.
02:13But...
02:13Could be wrong on that.
02:15But either or.
02:16Those are great beat-em-ups.
02:17So, even if they are behind this, this is amazing.
02:23Hell yeah.
02:25Cosmic Battle Awakes.
02:26Choose between 15 Marvel heroes in this forensic action beat-em-up to fight against the deadly
02:31annihilation wave threatening the galaxy.
02:35Hell yeah.
02:38Maybe look at that.
02:41Yeah, this is gonna be a good one, man.
02:43Oh, so excited.
02:45So excited.
02:48Alright, so let's go ahead and unbox her, man.
02:55There we go.
02:56Didn't have to use a blade of the knife.
03:15Alright.
03:17Awesome.
03:22Well, it's got a nice little background.
03:28And just a cartridge.
03:30So, manual.
03:32Which is fine, but, you know.
03:34Would have been nice.
03:37Hell yeah.
03:40It's a dope-looking cover.
03:42It's actually different from the original.
03:45Game box artwork.
03:49Oh, yeah.
03:50So dope.
03:54Alright.
03:55So, let's go ahead and load her up.
03:56And go from there.
03:59Alrighty, folks.
04:00Time for some gameplay action.
04:04Headbang club.
04:13Oh, nice.
04:14Heh.
04:15Marvel Games.
04:31Nice.
04:35Spidey.
04:35Spidey.
04:37Venom.
04:38Come on, boy.
04:39Cap.
04:40Wolverine.
04:41Hell yeah.
04:43Oh, dude.
04:44There better be Sentinels up in this.
04:46Heh heh heh.
04:58Yep.
04:59Hero, I still don't really know very well.
05:05Koso how much, because I don't really, like, remember his name.
05:08Heh heh.
05:09What's with the Lizard Thor, you?
05:12What's going on with that?
05:14Hell yeah, Rocket Boop.
05:17She Hulk.
05:20God, she doesn't twerk.
05:22What are you doing?
05:24I'm so lame in the show, bro.
05:36He looks so freaking stupid in the last Ant-Man movie.
05:43Luckily, I didn't watch, I didn't see it, but I saw, like, what Modak looked like.
05:47I'm like, aw, man, that's, that's just garbage.
05:53Ooh, new playable characters available.
05:56Cyclops and the Thing join the battle.
05:59Fantastic Forge, Rocky Bruiser, and X-Men's leader are here.
06:02Fight back Annihilus' forces as a Thing and Cyclops in our first-paid DLC.
06:08Aw, man.
06:09Their DLC?
06:11Ooh, but I like the way Cyclops looks.
06:13Kind of reminds me of his sprite work in, um,
06:18I think it was X-Men Mutant Apocalypse on Super Incendo.
06:22But hell yeah, man.
06:24That's, that's cool.
06:26Let's see, how much are they trying to charge up in here?
06:28It's not a morbid curiosity.
06:34Okay, you know, $3.99.
06:36I mean, it's roughly, like, $2 a character.
06:42But, uh, yeah, okay, okay.
06:45I could probably fit the bill for that.
06:47Not too bad.
06:49But you know what's ridiculous?
06:51Uh, Pokemon, or Pokken Tournament.
06:54It's, like, they trick you with the option.
06:56Like, oh, you can buy, like, the separate DLC packs.
06:58So, you know, you can get the one that has Blastoids and the two other, uh, assist Pokemon.
07:04But then there's, like, another pack.
07:06But, you know, I kind of don't care about that one.
07:08Because, like, later gen.
07:12But yeah, man.
07:13Uh, I don't know.
07:14So stupid.
07:15Nintendo's kind of scummy on that one.
07:17Because they're kind of forcing you to buy both DLC character packs.
07:20I'm like, no, I just want Blastoids.
07:22That's it.
07:22But, that's for another video entirely.
07:27So, yeah.
07:28Jump right in here.
07:29Campaign, baby.
07:33How can a guy have a spaceship?
07:35Brand new Nova Force powers, but can't hold on a job.
07:38Attention, Richard Ryder.
07:40It is critical that you pay attention at this time.
07:43Training simulation starts now.
07:45Let's go, world mind.
07:50Ready to rocket.
07:51Double tap left or right to sprint in that direction.
07:55Training mode.
07:56All right.
07:58Has danger room vibes.
07:59Multiple times to combine your attacks.
08:03Yeah, juggles, baby.
08:06That's what it's all about.
08:07The modern-day beat-em-ups.
08:10Yeah, get them juggle combos.
08:17Something Nova.
08:18Nova something.
08:19Yeah, don't forget it.
08:20If your hero is able to fly, double tap the jump button to take flight.
08:25That's cool.
08:26He flies.
08:26Nice.
08:39Come on, you little bastards.
08:40Get up.
08:42All right.
08:42There we go.
08:43That's the inflate for that.
08:45Okay.
08:46Press the power button to use your hero's unique ability.
08:49Ooh.
08:51Got lasers.
08:52Sweet.
08:53The photon charges are low.
08:58Tap the swamp button to change heroes.
09:01Change heroes.
09:03Ooh, okay.
09:05Has that Captain Morp?
09:06Hmm.
09:07I don't know.
09:08I mean, it looks like the same uniform, but I could be wrong.
09:11Ooh, that was a cool assist, baby.
09:12Yeah, it does.
09:18She has a sword, so that's always badass.
09:21Swap to break an enemy's hold or chain impressive combinations.
09:27Yeah.
09:28Juggles, baby.
09:30Hold the swap button and tap any other action buttons to summon your teammate for an assist attack.
09:37Oh, what the?
09:38All right.
09:39I'm digging here.
09:41It's pretty dope.
09:42Press and release the special attack button to perform your special move.
09:48Whoa.
09:49Oh, that was sick.
09:50This consumes focus.
09:52Regain focus by fighting your foes.
09:55Ooh.
09:57Join forces with your team.
09:58Ah.
09:59By holding both the swap and special button.
10:01Oh, almost at 99 hits already.
10:03Hell yeah.
10:04Okay.
10:07Press the defense button to block or dodge.
10:10Oh, 8 block.
10:11Blocking heroes can parry if they block before an adversary strikes them.
10:23Yeah.
10:24Go go up, boy.
10:33God, I'm loving the sprite work already, man.
10:37New York City, road to annihilation.
10:42Whoa, whoa, whoa.
10:43I'm not trying to play online.
10:44What the hell?
10:45Nope.
10:47Nope.
10:52There we go.
10:53Hell yeah.
10:57Let's see.
10:58Oh, Wolvie.
10:59Where's Venom, man?
11:01You already know I want to play with Venom.
11:04Wait, what's the deal with...
11:06Let's go, it's Cosmic Ghost Rider.
11:08Okay.
11:10Better a bill.
11:11What the hell?
11:13Never heard of this guy.
11:15Spider-Man.
11:16Wolvie.
11:20Oh, it's tough.
11:24Oh, you can change your colors.
11:28Finally, a game that doesn't charge for freaking character colors.
11:33I remember guilty of it when they started doing that.
11:36I was like, that's ridiculous, man.
11:38Oh, no, it's okay.
11:42Oh, Black Panther.
11:44Nice.
11:48Who do I want to be?
11:50I've got to go with the Wolverine.
11:53I want to get a partner, too, so...
11:55Ooh, let's...
12:01Just Nova.
12:02Hmm.
12:03His name was just Nova?
12:04I thought it was Captain Nova or something.
12:05I don't know.
12:07I've got to go with the Raccoon, dude.
12:09He'll beat my partner.
12:10Hurry and fully armed!
12:12Hell yeah.
12:14A mighty evil is waging war across the cosmos.
12:18A Nihilus has emerged from the depths of the Negative Zone
12:22to claim the entire universe as his own.
12:26Chaos and destruction reign.
12:28Why are all these, like, high, super-powered beings
12:30always trying to take over Earth?
12:32It's crazy.
12:33Like, there's other planets, too, dude.
12:35But always Earth, for some reason.
12:41Ooh, Daily Bugle.
12:42Perfect cover for a banjo.
12:44Wolverine, baby?
12:45Yeah, boy.
12:46There's your delivery.
12:48Don't need the old Spider-Sense
12:49to figure out there's trouble downtown.
12:51Watch out.
12:51These bugs have been sent by Nihilus himself.
12:58Try harder next time.
13:01Gotcha.
13:02Dude, it's so good.
13:04Yeah.
13:04Yeah.
13:09That was, like, a triple, like, weapon-X move right there.
13:18Woo!
13:19There's a more rocket.
13:21Gotcha.
13:27Oh, my God.
13:28I'm loving Wolvie already, bro.
13:32Better than the woke-ass Wolverine game on PS5.
13:35Ah, shit.
13:40There we go.
13:41Let's get rocket.
13:42Peace.
13:43Peace.
13:49Probably, like, the best character in Guardians of the Galaxy.
13:52My opinion.
13:54Whoa, is that, like, a black hole?
13:56Like, grenade?
13:58Oh, my God.
13:59Yep.
14:00The weapon specialist here.
14:07Yeah.
14:08Ooh, I love the assist.
14:13Oh, man.
14:14So good.
14:17I mean, even sprite work is freaking amazing.
14:19I think that was, like, one of the main reasons why I wanted, like, this game.
14:22Not just because it was Marvel and it's a new beat-em-up, and I love beat-em-ups, but...
14:26Art style, it's like, damn, bro.
14:29What the hell's chilling in the dumpsters there?
14:32Oh.
14:35Like, dude, like, we can't see your glowing red eyes in that little crack there.
14:42Like, isn't the point of ambushing someone, you know, not being seen, and then...
14:47Oh, what's that massive growth back there?
14:49Gross.
14:51Come on, stupid.
14:52Let's go.
14:56You should've turned your back to your shield, bro.
15:01Ah, shit.
15:02Oh, oh, shit.
15:03Oops.
15:11Oh, shit, that looks so gross.
15:19Luggers are close to everything.
15:31Ooh, okay.
15:33So you get, like, two different assist attacks.
15:39Next time, try harder.
15:41Do I have, like, an uppercut?
15:43Or no, I'm gonna have to just do a jump attack.
15:45Okay.
15:52Ooh, hot dog beat.
15:57Ooh, hot dog beat.
16:05That rocket's so cool.
16:09Hold on.
16:11Let's not let me pick up this little
16:14pyramid here.
16:17Come on.
16:23Come here, knockoff V-drill.
16:30Ah, come on.
16:33Come on.
16:36I need to work him in
16:37to take you away, so.
16:44Aha, you.
16:45That's how we do it.
16:47That's how we do it.
16:49Ah, damn.
16:50This game's so satisfying.
16:55I'm so glad, like,
16:57modern, like,
16:58beat-em-ups are, like, showing up.
17:00And I'm like, dude.
17:01It's like beat-em-ups are making a comeback here.
17:03It's so good.
17:11I like triple weapon necks.
17:22Sacred hospital?
17:24Hey, is that Mary Jane?
17:26Whoa!
17:27Oh, yeah.
17:28That's so cool.
17:34Oh, that's so sweet.
17:37Dude, the little
17:38tagusis?
17:39Dude, it's so freaking fire, man.
17:44Oh, pizza.
17:50There were all those turtles.
17:54Don't be surprised
17:55if that was a reference
17:56to turtles.
17:58But, I don't know,
17:59might be a little far-fetched.
18:00I'm like, there's pizza
18:00in every freaking game.
18:11Oh, that's so cute.
18:13Ugh, gross.
18:14Oh, no.
18:16A facehugger-type thing here.
18:18This mode will fall
18:19for Annihilus.
18:22Here comes a big one.
18:31Life threatens.
18:33Never thought I'd miss
18:34that sparkling beetle rip our day.
18:36He's under Annihilus' control.
18:38Faebor's the death.
18:39Switch, my boy.
18:42Oh, I need some juice.
18:47I think I'm kind of short,
18:49so it can't hit me
18:49with that laser.
18:58Come on.
19:10Come on.
19:11Dude.
19:13Oh, that's a big-ass laser beam.
19:21Oh, yeah.
19:24Yeah, Rocky has
19:25an awesome super there.
19:32Oh.
19:33It's a black hole grenade.
19:37Oh, no.
19:47Noice.
19:52Extra HP?
19:53Hell yeah.
19:55Grinding, baby.
20:04Just exploded.
20:05I changed my costume.
20:12Oh, let's see.
20:13Operation Jailbreak.
20:15Genosha.
20:16Heavy metal.
20:16Oh!
20:17Setting those up in this piece.
20:23Oh, damn.
20:25A lot of good ones here.
20:33Okay, I guess we can play
20:34maybe a couple more minutes.
20:38I'll keep Wolvie, obviously, but...
20:44Is he Iron Man?
20:45Maybe.
20:46Or Spuddy...
20:54Oh, dude.
20:56Even in this sprite,
20:56it looks like
20:57very similar to the
20:58one in Marvel Super Heroes
21:00and Marvel's Capcom 2.
21:04Strange activity
21:05was detected
21:05at the old
21:06Sentinel Complex.
21:08Ah, dude.
21:09Getting X-Men Arcade vibes here.
21:11I got my can openers
21:12right here.
21:13We must leave
21:14no stone unturned
21:16in our search
21:16for the missing mutants.
21:19That's cool.
21:20She's wearing her, uh...
21:2297 outfit there.
21:26Her animated series
21:27costume.

21:40set.
21:45Like, a laser?
21:46What's going on, bud?
21:49What the...
21:50Uh, that's weird.
21:54They're made of those, uh,
21:55space slugs now
21:56for some reason?
21:58That's strange.
22:00And then Dr. Doom
