Ian Fisher writes: Last week a rumor surfaced that Capcom would announce Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in the near future. While from a reliable source, many still called into question whether or not this would happen. With the Marvel franchise thought to be tied up in a web of legal issues due to Disney's acquisition, MvC3 was thought to be a pipe dream of sorts.
I know, last week I said we should dial down our expectations when it comes to Twitter news but in this case it's just too damn hard not to get hyped. Marvel.com Editor Ryan Penagos posted the following Tweet:
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?
Lol at the tweet.
But if this was to ever happen day 1 purchase.
