If you liked Marvel vs Capcom 2 ten years ago, you'll like it now for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. It's gotten a little bit of a face lift to accommodate high definition, wide screen televisions, but aside from that, virtually nothing else about the game has changed. It's still fun, still challenging and still just as broken and imbalanced and ever. It's just the way hardcore fans remember it, and it's just the way they like it also.
Kotaku: “Amingo was an original character introduced in Marvel vs. Capcom 2. He was part of a gentle race of plant people. He was good and he was my friend. Capcom killed Amingo in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and I will never forgive it.“
If they hadn't got rid of Amingo then Kotaku would instead be writing screeching articles about how Amingo is an example of cultural appropriation and racism.
And I fucking dare any of them to deny it.
I read the article, I don't think the author is upset over what you think he is. He says that amingo was the very reason he tried other wacky characters and he liked his backstory. Nothing wrong with that but yeah opinion piece about an unpopular character.
Oh yeah, I got that from the article.
But *if* they still had a character in MVC that was a cactus wearing a sombrero called Amingo (which I always assumed was amigo + gringo, but I may be wrong), I'm pretty damn sure Kotaku and other publications of their ilk would be calling for its removal on cultural appropriation grounds. That's what I was saying.
I probably should have been a bit more positive and pointed out that the article was kinda a sweet read. But Kotaku - and this writer, specifically - publish cowardly, wrong-headed trash so often that I jumped immediately to cynicism and hypothetical negatives.
An unpopular character from a game 20 years ago did not return for for a game that's almost a decade old except for a cameo and of course Kotaku got offended by this...
MvC2 is making a surprise return to Evo 2020 and the community is buzzing about it. Here's why this seminal fighter is one of the most important ever.
Excellent article and I have to add that there is some restraint from high tier players to not abuse the infinite combos and exploits.
Pulling off an adaptation is no small feat. Here are 5 titles that have succeeded in the task of being great comic-book inspired video games.
