Forget Yahtzee, break out the Captain America! In this new commercial for Marvel Ultimate Alliance (Mua!) a gathering of hipsters hide the the Bicardi and congregate at the Wii like mutant combat is the next MTV. Is this the ultimate party game?  Hell no. It's fun, but I won't go that far. Funny pattern here though ... not only are all future Wii commercials going to portray mid 20's guys and girls fighting off an invisible rapist, it reminds me of the 80's where they had guys playing airplane games by flailing their arms as they were steering with their NES pads. At least the Wiimote finally gives them sane reason to do so. This beckons an even deeper question ... why must actors play video games with their mouths open?

For more information and nuggets of my ire, read Destructoid's public service announcement on how to enjoy your Wii without rupturing your spleen. If you've had a chance to experience Mua already, post your house party impressions.

What a wonderfully diverse group of people they have there!

Substitute the girls for empty pringles cans. Substitute the token black guy for a Costco 18 lb. econopak of rootbeer twizzlers. Substitute the furniture for pizza boxes. And substitute all of the remaining fit, well-adjusted, athletic, tanned, dapper young people for an old, fat dude with a greasy ponytail and you have finally arrived at the truth.

A Wii won't get you laid.

Sit-ups and taking a shower twice a week will get you laid.

Really!? Only twice? I guess I've been overdoing it for a long time then.

The real issue is they're using Storm and Ghost Rider, who are terible. You wanna break out Deadpool and Thor fools.

Anyone actually played the Wii version of MUA? I have the PC version & enjoy it quite a bit, but I'm pretty skeptical of how well it controls on the Wii with the remote/nunchuck combo. Any impressions?

Yea, the wii version is pretty sick, too bad they are sold out of wii nunchucks everywhere, so unless you got a bunch at launch, better wait to buy multiplayer games. Deadpool ftw.
