Daniel Horowitz from Platform Nation reviewed Marvel vs Capcom 3 and had this to say: Many of the character themes are shoddy techno remixes. Notable exceptions to this are the themes of X-23, Wolverine and Hulk. However, the lack of stages, numbering eight in total, is really not enough for a game that otherwise seems to have been given a large number of effort. The lack of variety is somewhat annoying, but this is made up for by some of the quirky and sometimes obscure comic book and old school video game references, and the lack of stages will probably be supplemented by DLC levels in the future.
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?
