"The game features a new 3D look, but all the action still takes place on a 3D plane. You can take a team of three characters and pair them off against another three. You’ll have access to a variety of moves including special attacks and team up moves that you can unleash against your opponents. The game feels very similar to its immediate predecessor, which is definitely a good thing."
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?
Can't wait for this one. Not sure how I feel about the visuals about this game though. But young DMC Dante is an automatic win. Add Virgil and it's a wrap.
What would really be impressive is if they added the same number, or more characters than number 2. I think the 2nd one had like 56 characters, so it would be really impressive to see such a variety in a new school fighter
Looking forward to this next year.
I'll take Iron Man, Cyclops and Cable... yup, I'm cheap like that
Never tried MvC2 but maybe this'll be the time!
