Due out this Fall for damn near every system available is Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, which is set to feature crazy action with almost a literal ton of Marvel superheroes. I talked to Matthew Paul, the game's producer, to find out how the title is shaping up--and to get the scoop on exactly how the Wii version of the game will function.

Shack: Can you give us a few examples that describe how the Wii controller is used?

Matthew Paul: We have five gestures that do a large variety of things for Marvel: Ultimate Alliance on the Wii. For example, you can thrust the Wii-mote forward to make Captain America charge forward and ram his enemies with his shield, or you can swing the Wii-mote down to make Thor smash the ground with his hammer. Other fun things you can do are swipe left to make Spider-Man spin a web that grabs an enemy, then move the Wii-mote in circles to spin the enemy around Spidey and knock other enemies on their backs. Or you can move the Nunchuk in any direction to grab enemies and shake the Wii-mote to steal their weapons.
