IGN.com: It's been ten years since Marvel vs. Capcom 2 hit the Dreamcast. Finally, one of the best 2D fighters of all time is getting a sequel. The characters in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 may be polygonal, but the fundamentals of the game haven't changed. It's your three chosen characters against an opponent's in a tag-team match on a 2D plane. You can call in for an assist from one of your reserves, unleash powerful special moves specific to your character--pretty much everything you could do in MVC2.
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?
you know what, even though this looks very similar to the capcom vs tat the combos looks like the string together just like mvc2 which i'm happy about. hopefully this game comes out great. what i don't like is the little old batman "sweet" and "dude" and "good" comments.
