Charles King/DCI Writes "The Marvel vs. Capcom franchise took a lot of my free time back in the days. Actually, games like X-Men: Children of the Atom and X-Men vs. Street Fighter kept me in the Arcades as well. Back then I'm sure every fan of comics and Street Fighter had their own lists of characters they wanted to see in the series. I was one of them of course, and for the current gen of gaming I would like to share with you my mine. MVC 3 will be out sometime next year and the following are characters I would love to see make an appearance."
Artist Chris Cayco, who we’ve featured a few times before on Kotaku, grew up playing Marvel vs. Capcom (and Marvel vs. Street Fighter) games. His tribute to this, which took him over 175 hours, was to combine every single character to ever appear in Capcom’s crossover series in the one enormous image.
Makes me despise Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite that much more
So much wasted potential
As common as it is today, it is hard to believe that there was a time where gaming franchises crossing over was just a pipe dream. Capcom broke down the wall, but they took the combination of some of the most unlikely of franchises and made it the norm.
Whether it was a colossal successful partnership with Marvel Comics or a collaboration with rivals Namco and SNK, the “Vs.” series brought unforgettable experiences to the fighting genre.
Marvel doesn't just have a bright future ahead of it in films, but in the gaming realm as well. Some exciting new titles are showing up on all hardware, so does that mean gamers are finally catching up with the MCU?
