We knew it was coming eventually. With the release of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 earlier this year, there was no question that Capcom had expansion in mind somewhere down the road, adding new fighters and features to keep the latest entry in the series fresh for the fighting community. And lo and behold, not even a year later, we have Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, a quasi-sequel that features tighter balancing, new backgrounds, an interesting new sub-mode with the final boss and twelve characters that help mix up the roster a little bit. Now it’s just a question of whether you want to fork over $40 for it. Unfortunately, Capcom didn’t provide the option to simply upgrade the game via downloadable content, as they did with Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition earlier this year. This is a sorely missed opportunity, as many angry fighting fans will be grumbling as they hand over their hard-earned cash for the upgrade. But fret not, for it’s an upgrade that is worth the cash in the long run.
Batsu Ichimonji and Bishop from the X-Men are joining the fight in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 through a recently created mod for the game.
Dual Pixels: "After Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite there was a lot of doubt regarding the franchise ever returning in some sort of fashion..."
Capcom seriously dropped the ball with MvC Infinite. You can tell that it was heavily influenced by outside marketing that wanted to promote the characters in the MCU films only. The roster was lacking, the gameplay was slower than the previous game and there just wasn't a lot of the wackiness we come to expect.
From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
Not sure if this is worth a re-purchase but still a worthy fighting game for fans of the franchise!
Not into fighting games...
Its acctually quite good, would reccomend for people who like fighting games, but some bits are a bit dull
