E4G: At the start of day 3 I made sure I went straight for the machines hooked up to Marvel vs. Capcom 3 as it was one of the biggest games I couldn’t get hands on with in the first 2 days of the Eurogamer Expo. The reason being that there was an extreme lack of arcade machines, just the two, which had MVC 3 playing on them and there was less of a line and more of a circular huddle around the screens displaying the game, so I thought I’d leave it a while.
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?
I can not wait for this game, it will be great :D *IMO*
Just got SSFIV and I love it, now I'm really excited to see what's in store for this title.
I'll be honest fighting games aren't really my bag but this was lots of fun when i played it, hectic as all get out but fun all the same.
