Shattered Dimensions Gets Deadpool, But Is Stuck With Nolan North Too

Those of you who have watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine will have a decent idea of who Deadpool is and what he is capable of. For those who don’t, listen up.

Deadpool, also known as Wade Wilson, is a mercenary and essentially supposed to be the perfect soldier with the healing abilities of Wolverine, crazy strength and a cartoonish perosna. He is famed for his wisecracks and wit as well as an ardent hate for mutants.

He will be one of the 13 bosses in Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions and will be waiting for you at the end of a very special level in the Ultimate Universe. The level takes place on an oil rig that has been converted into the set of a reality TV game show with obstacles and Deadpool taunting Spidey over loudspeakers. This is supposed to create what the developers call “witty banter” between the two which is supposed to be more than the usual slew of corny one-liners that get thrown around.

“One of the most entertaining aspects of Spider-Man is his sense of humor. In asking ourselves what we could do to really bring out this key characteristic, we came up with the idea of recruiting Deadpool as one of the villains. This allowed us to create witty banter that went both ways, rather than always coming only from Spider-Man.

“We wanted the setting for the level to play into this as well, so to make sure Deadpool’s personality was always in the spotlight we made the entire level a reality TV game show. It takes place on an oil rig that has been converted into a deadly obstacle course covered with TV screens and loudspeakers that Deadpool uses to constantly taunt Spidey. By the end of the level, Spider-Man has really learned why he’s called ‘The Merc with a Mouth!’”

Unfortunately, the Merc with a Mouth 9as he is also known) will be voiced by none other than everybody’s most heard but least-loved voice actor, Nolan North. There seriously is no game that he can keep is lips off of ( I meant for that to sound that way) and while he may be a good choice with his experience as Nathan Drake from Uncharted, that literally is the only role he can fill. That of the smug white guy. He doesn’t fit in anywhere else.
