PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii.

Wow... I thought they would NOT be doing a follow up,
with so many character licenses gone to the competition?
Sega has the rights to the Marvel movie characters now,
which include Iron Man, Thor, Cap, Hulk...

Do you suppose they worked out an agreement to be able to
have a follow up anyway? This is awesome news, but I hope
we aren't stuck with a limited character roster that has
no Avengers in it...

Maybe a follow up was a part of the initial agreement.

Can't wait to hear more on this.

I read somewhere that the deal between Marvel and Activision allows them to use whoever they want from the Marvel universe, while Sega has the rights to make the games in which those specifics characters are the main ones. For example, I don't think that they could name the game something like "Captain America and the Avengers", and it probably won't have those characters in the box-art.

Then again, I read this in the gamefaqs board...

I thought this depends what kind of license (exclusive vs non-exclusive) the game company wants. ...kinda like how it works in the statues and busts scene (Sideshow, Bowen, Hard Hero, etc.)?
