With the fighting game genre now firmly back on its feet and Street Fighter IV having just hit its third iteration in Japan with Arcade Edition, fans are getting eager for more. Luckily the release date for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is getting very close.
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 reallyyyyy would to to buy this game, but Capcom has screwed me too many times. First with RE5 and then with SF4, im going to hold up on this one, if by 7 month latter theres no sigh of SMvC3 then ill buy it. Not my fault for not wanting to be screwed.
