When Activision started their Marvel action-RPG series with the original X-Men Legends, development responsibilities primarily fell on Raven Software with the occasional porting duties being outsourced to other studios.

There was a PSP game that was more or less a direct conversion of the PS2/Wii game with the usual compromises, but if you wanted to play MUA on a Nintendo handheld, you had to stick with the watered down beat-em-up that was…
Last month saw the release of the awesome Marvel Battlegrounds playset for Disney Infinity 3.0 as well as a slew of new figures and a set of power discs.
