Siliconera - Even if you haven’t heard of them, you’ve probably played at least one of the several games that Japanese studio, Eighting, have worked on. In particular, they’ve collaborated with Capcom on several fighters such as Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Fate/Unlimited Codes, and more recently the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 games.
Today Bushiroad announced that it will launch a full-blown fighting game dedicated to the Hunter X Hunter manga and anime franchise.
A new Yu Yu Hakusho fighting game too, please!! I miss "Yu Yu Hakusho Makyō Tōitsusen" on Sega Genesis.
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.
i'm playing through bloody roar =)
