TSA: Even if you only have a passing interest in the genre, this is a game that you shouldn’t miss out on. The intuitive gameplay mechanics provide limitless possibilities and give the player more power and personality than ever before. If you can think of it, it’s most likely possible. While there are some issues with the online multiplayer in terms of functionality and features, these are issues that can be remedied with a patch. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is not only a worthy successor to the legendary MvC2, it easily surpasses it in nearly every way.
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?
Finally, a review by someone who obviously actually PLAYS fighting games.
Kudos, sir. Kudos.
