Now joining the ranks of broken street release dates is Capcom’s Marvel vs Capcom 3. It isn’t a major shocker to many that major titles are released early all the time. On the list of broken release dates are Super Street Fighter IV, Assassins Creed 2/Brotherhood, and Mass Effect 2 just to name a few. I still say the game with the biggest and most shocking broken release date is Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. The day CODMW2 broke release, GameStop started calling people who had reserve the title and GameStop themselves started selling the major title before it’s release date.
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?
You don't say!
Capcom games ALWAYS come out earlier over here!

Are we going to have an article for every game that's leaked or street date broken?
Yeah, it's been broken for a while. I saw a huge crowd of gamers at my school playing MvC3 just yesterday.
It's funny how some still manage to deliver news horribly late , despite the nature of the net
