CVG: It's no secret that Marvel vs. Capcom 3 draws heavily from Capcom's other crossover fighting game franchise, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. So it's a little strange that the company isn't keeping the community they've established happy with a Wii release of the former.
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?
it would be a beautiful thing!!!
I wanted a Wii version of the 2nd, before I had my PS3 and downloaded it. Ah well. -_-
theres no reason not to,
TsVSCap and Marvel versus capcom use the same engine, and graphically they're not that far apart.
LOL this is Capcom people. They'll do a late lazy port or proclaim the Wii cant handle it.
No reason any of their other games couldnt be on Wii and look what did.
Seriously they kept saying every game was a test and when each passed a million they did less work on the next one until they decided the only way to make a game bomb was to give us a franchise we never heard of.
Capcom is a complete joke and I no longer support them on any system.
Its funny how they said they wanted to showcase their engine and therefor we wouldnt be seeing SF4 on the Wii...However 3DS is getting SF4...point in case....
Capcom, dont be a bunch of DBs.
