Link, Samus removed from Marvel Ultimate Alliance?

Surfer Girl is at it again, this time bringing up images of what seem to be Activision‘s Marvel Ultimate Alliance before it was released. On a blog of  “such things that never was,” two screenshots show The Legend of Zelda‘s Link and Metroid‘s Samus Aran as characters in the action RPG’s Wii version.

Ever squeezed out everything Activision‘s Marvel Ultimate Alliance on the Nintendo Wii had to offer? Even if you did, there are some good stuff that you’ll never get to see because they were lost in development. According to images on a blog about “such things that never was,” Link of The Legend of Zelda and Samus Aran of Metroid were supposed to be included in the game.

Yep, those two images you see on top are apparently pre-release shots. Self-proclaimed insider Surfer Girl, known for rumors that spark flames of speculation, said developer Vicarious Visions did manage to put a place for Link and Samus in the Wii version of Marvel Ultimate Alliance, but the deal with Nintendo fell flat and the two were removed from the final release.

We can’t say for certain if this is real or bogus, but the screens sure look convincing. On a different note, it would be pretty nice to see Marvel characters in the all-star cast of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Wolverine versus Mario, anyone?
