The Avengers are big business right now, with the high-profile film being one of the greatest box-office successes in history, also directing attention to the existing comics and other media for the superhero team. The heightened interest in the other aspects of The Avengers also brought us a mediocre game, too.
In Japan, meanwhile, Toei Animation and Walt Disney Japan have this year launched Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers, a TV anime series following the team. Perhaps unsurprisingly, regular Disney collaborators Bandai Namco are now confirmed to be bringing Disk Wars Avengers: Ultimate Heroes to 3DS; it'll reportedly feature multiple playable characters — Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Wasp, and Spider-Man — that can be swapped on the touch screen, with multiple modes to take in a story and challenges.
A brief teaser trailer and a couple of choice screens are below, though unfortunately we don't expect this outside of Japan, not unless the TV show makes its way to the West as well.

I really hope this comes out in America it actually looks cool. And I would be surprised if it didnt like I never would have thought marvel would be that big in japan
Wait... Captain America is a thing in Japan?!
@GamecubeComplex Japan loves Marvel
@CrazyOtto Japan loves 'Murica.
I've seen a few episodes of the anime. It's very Yu-gi-Oh/Pokemonesqe. Couldn't get into it.
Oh god, no. If the X-Men and Wolverine animé incarnations are anything to go by, this'll be a painful nightmare.
@Kaze_Memaryu those anime are masterpieces by comparison. This is Marvel meets Pokemon. The heroes are trapped inside pokeballs (disks) for goodness sake
@Bizzyb Oh god... O_O"'
@GamecubeComplex They did try to make a super sentei inspired by him. However it was a team that represented each nation. America is represented by a woman, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Fever_J#Characters is an interesting twist on Captain America.
This is the first game I want ported to America O.O
As AVGN once said, if it's only released in Japan, it means it's either the only good one, or it's really, REALLY bad... Of course I am paraphrasing because it is 3AM and I am too lazy to look up the actual quote. Just know it was from the Star Wars games video.
Seems ok.
@R-L-A-George Captain Japan confirmed.
@AshFoxX Amen!
