Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3: MvC3 to Get 12 New Characters in Budget Re-Release?

Luke Brown of TheQuarterbin.com writes: "San Diego Comic Con is just around the corner, and many people are curious as to what the “fantastic news” Marvel vs. Capcom 3 producer Ryota Niitsuma will be delivering actually is. Well, our sources close to the project have revealed that news to be the announcement of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3."

[Dart89]

Capcom is full of shizznit.

[Sillyace92]

Gimme that money boi

[DarkCharizard_]

You got my money.

Just release it for PC this time.... or else!

[ChineseDemocracy]

It's almost not even worth buying Capcom's "first edition" games; they've literally released a revamped version of every Crapcom title this gen.

[AntoineDcoolette]

LOL and this is why I didn't even touch the original MvC3. Now Capcom has my interest.

[rjdofu]

One step closer to the SuperDuper Ultra Ultimate MvC3 version.

[lizard81288]

lol, i don't even know if i should buy this one or not. I don't want to pay $60 and then a year later we get, Super Marvel Vs Capcom+ EX Alpha world champion 3rd strike new challengers HD mini mix turbo collection.

For the love of god, just make it DLC. Its absurd Capcom wants us to buy the 1st installment for $60 and then a super version, which adds a little new content for another $60. if they did patch it, it should cost only $20 max.

It doesn't matter anyways, unless this is coming out for the PC or 3DS i probably won't play this since i don't own an HD console.

I also like all of those DLC characters capcom made for MvC3...the two that were pulled from the game..
>___>

[M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L]

...WTF?! Ultimate Marvel 3?!

...*shakes head* I don't even...

Capcom is more about cash and less about quality these days...

[princejb134]

lol theres one way to solve this not buy it, that way capcom would stop milking the same game over and over and do it correctly the first time they release it

[showtimefolks]

but so has it brought us CAPCOM'S WAY OF DLC and locking it on the disk. they are full of sequels and even messing those up. Like the head who was behind dead rising who said the company doesn't want any new Ip's and want as many sequels so they could make the most money

in figthing games with MVC they had so little content for full 60 it was a joke compare to Mortal Kombat which has a great long story plus online battles

Re5 on disk dlc locked for $5 really?

dead rising 2 spin off?

lost planet 2 making it worst than before than blaming us the gamers for not buying the game

[Rocket Sauce]

The peeps behind Mortal Kombat aren't any different - making you pay to use fatalities, costumes, etc. you already have on the disc.

Everybody's out to screw you.

[9thWonder]

i agree this is BS if its true cause it means we have to buy another copy similar to SSF4 -_-

[acemonkey]

anybody paids for this is a jackass im sorry

[Martha_Washington]

If Strider, Cable, and Frank West do show up this will be well worth it.

[LOGICWINS]

Yeah, its basically giving people the option to have all the DLC and 12 new characters in one bargain price. I don't think its a bad deal.

I think Capcom sucks for making consumers pay for DLC thats ALREADY on the disc(RE5 deathmatch I believe)...but then again, its the consumer's fault for being dumb enough to buy the first version of Capcom games knowing they will release a budget version with extra goodies just a few months later.

[Peaceful_Jelly]

Rumors say that the online will be revamped too. And a DLC that adds 12 characters and possibly new stages and online features (like spectator mode) would take like 5GB man. On top of that people are saying that they will change the comic-like endings for animated CG.

[ABizzel1]

Thank goodness I didn't buy it yet.

@Logicwins

It's only a bad deal if they pull a Super Street Fighter and make you have to buy the game over again to get the new characters instead of just putting them up for DLC (this is what they did with the second SF4 game, the third was DLC).

[GunofthePatriots]

I'm getting tired of Capcom.

[Prototype]

I remember in the 90's when you mention Capcom unless you was a diehard SNK/Mortal Kombat fan they had something for EVERYONE...

Now its all about releasing half-made games and depending on consumer reception that determines how they release DLC no one cares for.

[waltyftm]

Cashcom strikes again.

[Prototype]

I call it Scamcom, last game I bought from them was Lost Planet 2 which was fun but short as hell

[Shooter_McGavin]

I'm not that thrilled about this personally, but it's so typically Capcom to do something like this. Can't wait for the Ultimate Ultimate version. /sarcasm

[Rocket Sauce]

Yeah, right! And Grizzly Adams had a beard!

[Sniperwithacause]

Grizzly Adams did have a beard! LMAO! I love that movie. I just can't remember wich one it was.

[zeal0us]

who really didn't see this coming? If its was going to happen to street fighter 4 it surely was going to happen to marvel vs capcom 3 and I have no doubt within my mind SF vs Tekken will have their "super" or "ultimate" or even "arcade edition" so be prepared capcom fans to spend a sh*tload of money.

[jetlian]

know about that! they have to ask namco for another game at that point. And i'm certain namco is gonna want another game too.

Namcos wont be shown till after sf x t so your looking at next e3 or later on t x sf

[hotrider12]

ALL these so-call extra SHOULD !!! have been in the game from the jump. cashcom milking gamers hard again.

[Sinterfire]

I'm shocked....Not lol

[Arnagrim]

I fear for when Capcom tries this same business practice with the Monster Hunter franchise.

[darfreeze]

Capcom...that's why I hate buying their games day 1, since it's incomplete yet. :[

[M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L]

I sold Marvel 3. Won't be looking back.

[GRIMLOCK_79]

the last capcom game i bought was resident evil 5 ..........after the dlc on disc.........they lost a client.

[skyblue14213]

The funny thing is the head developer for re5 wanted to put all of the extra content that was in re 5 gold edition in the original version of re 5 but capcom would not let them until re 5 gold edition was in development. This info was in an article that was about how consumers were unhappy about re 5 multi-player being sold as dlc and in defense the developer slipped out what had previously said.

[FlareDReborn]

Why dont they give me a Megaman Battle Network 7..... DX

[lizard81288]

After Keiji Inafune left capcom, they seem to be trying to destory him (megaman) and the series.

Capcom cancels 2 Megaman games, and then pull a, If MML3:P doesn't sell well, then we'll cancel the game. Also MML3:P was suppose to be released when e-shop launched on the 3ds, but is now delayed, with a TBA release date

[takohma]

Normally idc about cashcom add ons but I'm a hardcore fighter and even though MvC3 is pretty unbalanced and cheap it's sTill fun lol. So I'll most likely ge the add on lol. Glad Namco doesn't do this crap lol. Well atleast for tekkeN they don't lol

[DragonKnight]

You're glad Namco doesn't do it, and yet you're going to buy Crapcom's add-on? You're a part of the problem and why Crapcom can get away with stuff like this. They won't stop if people like you don't give them a reason to.

[TheColbertinator]

@DragonKnight

Judging from the way he adds "lol" to every sentence,he is the typical moron customer that Capcom likes.

[mttrackmaster38]

Why does anyone buy their games day one if they know they'll release a better version later. Do people like re-buying games?

[FlintGREY]

I usually because of tournaments that their games sell so well so early, as well as EVERY iteration after it.

[telekineticmantis]

is complete and utter trash, No thanks

[Main_Street_Saint]

What was that? A double dip from Crapcom?! Get out of town! Shocking!

[Fullmetalevolust]

Yes capcom! I love giving money to my favorite foundation, trolls without bridges.
I didn't buy SSF4, nor did I get a boner for the piece of poo edition you cleverly came up with, wont get into this one.

[dorron]

I'm interested in this game BUT...they may release a Super Ultra Mega Hyper Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Arcade Edition later and...

[dorron]

Replying to myself:

I forgot to add some Turbo, GOTY and Ultimate in the title X-DDDDDDD

[TheEatingVodka]

This is getting old STFU with this crap

[TronEOL]

FFS Capcom. Should I trade in my current copy of MvC3 for this? Or wait another year for Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 Arcade Edition?

If this rumor turns out to be true, and it ISN'T content packed (no, a dozen new characters can't sell me on a repackaged game), then I'll pass on this one.

But if it comes with a total of 50-something characters with legitimate Alternate Costumes AND tons of new modes (Online and Offline), then I'll consider it after I've seen some reviews.

[pcz]

finished with them now

[Minartis]

I had a feeling Capcom would do this, which is why I didn't pick up MvC3.

I'll probably pick up UMvC3 , but then again I think it's pretty horrific that they're cheating customers into buying the same game 2-3 times.

Example ,

-last gen - one game with all characters on the disc = £40

-This gen- one game (£40) plus dlc characters (£15) plus the super edition with a few extra chracters (£20), plus the arcade edition with a few more characters (£15)
Total price = £90

...... I'm really starting to lose respect for Capcom....

[DragonKnight]

If you're only starting that's pretty wrong. You should already have no respect for them.

[admiralvic]

These arguments should just go away as you gain nothing from picking irrelevant A = B situations.

These are fighting games and should be compared to OTHER FIGHTING GAMES (is this that hard to grasp?). When you look at Guilty Gear the other big fighting game last generation there were 7 on the ps2 (not counting isuka which was semi different) and even if you consider each updated version as low as 20 per thats a lot!

60 + 20 (80) + 20 (100) + 20 (120) + 20 (140) + 20 (160)+ 20 = 180 x tax (here its .06 so thats 10) and it turns out you're paying 200 for a fairly similar game several times. When you look at the first one to the last one there was about 3 new characters and merely mode changes between them.

This is how fighting games have always been... I am not saying I agree with Capcom's tactics, but I am saying it's unfair to say this is different. If you were a SAVVY shopper this would all be irrelevant to you anyways...

[Agent_hitman]

PC version anyone???...

or is there any plan? porting this for PC.. that will be good to be true

[PygmelionHunter]

No DLC for those who bought the original like myself = NO BUY .l.

[Pro_TactX]

I will just wait for the inevitable Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Alpha EX Tournament Gold Edition.

[DeadpoolBub]

Did you guys really think this wouldn't happen when MvC3 was barebones? Hell, I'm excited for this. Hopefully it'll be like the transition from SF4 to SSF4. Good to FANTASTIC! It just needs Mega Man, Frank West, Strider, Phoenix Wright, Venom, Black Panther, Gambit & Ms. Marvel...make it happen Capcom.

[CanadianTurtle]

I just started playing mvc3 a few months ago. Damn these capcom dudes.

[snowman2149]

the characters will be available as DLC too so calm down!

[CanadianTurtle]

Its not that. Think about it this way. The game was $59.99 when it came out. With less characters than UMvsC3. And we had to pay 5 bucks for characters.

UMvsC3 is going to cost $59.99 when it comes out with more characters and previous dlc. Hows that fair to people that bought the original

[OmegaWolf]

I'm willing to bet half of you complaining about this buy Madden, COD, or Assassin's Creed every damn year. That's ok, but God forbid Capcom do it, because everyone will go into maximum nerd rage. Sure MVC3 isn't a feature packed game, and I was even left a little salty by the lack of content, but the game is fun. This will give them the chance to fix some of the cheaper aspects of the game(X-Factor) as well as add new characters, stages and rebalance the current roster, and add new modes. Some of this stuff was already in the works but they suffered huge delays, (earthquake, PSN debacle) which ultimately (pun intended) led to this.

[DragonKnight]

Umm, Assassin's Creed changes pretty much everything in each new game. Ezio has now 3 games to his credit, and each new game is in a different location, adds new content, and in some way changes the game. That is NOT the same as this "Ultimate MvC3" game that merely adds new characters.

[Fleetfiend]

I'm pretty sure each one isn't in a new location. Brotherhood had mostly the same locales as AC2. Sure, they looked different, but they were basically the same places. Same character, too. A few new mechanics.

UMvC3 will have a bunch of new characters, and a few new mechanics. So isn't it updating a little more than ACB? (story not taken into account.)

Though, I still agree it doesn't belong on a list with CoD and Madden. It isn't even CLOSE to the same thing. And besides, that's just one similar game, Revelations not included.

[DragonKnight]

@Fleetfiend: AC2 was set in 3 different cities just like AC1 was. AC Brotherhood was set in Rome and only Rome. It's a completely different city. It added a lot of content as well, and gave Desmond a greater role to play.

UMvC3 is hyped DLC. 12 new characters and a likely tweak to balancing is not worthy of a new game. It's Crapcom using old tricks to rip people off.

[maxmill]

Fuck capcom they suck ass

MK ftw!

[hazardman]

We as GAMERS have got to make this STOP!! We are paying $60 for a game that in less than a yr. time is being re-released with count em 12 extra characters for less than initial shipping price. People I know no one forces us to buy these but enough is enough!!... They can't make games if we don't buy them. And it's not only Capcom it's happening with almost all developers. Fuckers are destroying a hobby I've given more than 25yrs of my LIFE too....WTF. Ok I'm good.
WOW I'm picking this up when it ships, but still doesn't make it RIGHT!!

[TheRichterBelmont]

Even Phoenix Wright is saying Objection to this...

[RELIGHT]

This really upsets me. I want to say I can't believe it but I'm really not surprised. How can they do this to gamers? Firstly they release MvC3 with half the roster of McC2. Then, on top of that, they don't even allow you to play the complete game, content that's already on the disc. In fact that make you pay to play with content that's already in your hands. Now they decide, "Hey instead of adding these characters in as DLC, let's really screw gamers and release another full price title". That's horrible and a disgrace to the industry.

[xVeZx]

if its really 12 new characters then think about it like this...if those characters were released as DLC they would have been about 5 bucks each....5 * 12 = 60 bucks so you are actually saving money if you buy this ultimate mvc3 since its probably going to be like 40-50 bucks...

[FaSCoRP]

Well, I lost count of many updates has Capcom done on every franchise, I believe it is #1 developer with reissues and recycled stuff. I am start to believe that every Capcom game will have an update and reissue later, so barely no purpose to purchase the first one. Some examples:

Resident Evil 5
Lost Planet
Street Fighter IV
Marvel vs Capcom 3

and these are only from the current generation.

now with the HD rerelease of RE4 and RE CV that is getting ridiculous.

[artsaber]

But you must admit there is a long standing pattern with Capcom when it comes to this kinda stuff. This is why I rented MVC and wouldn't touch a purchase of it with a 10ft pole - we ALL knew these Ultra Premium Platinum Universe Editions were coming with 2 times the characters, etc.

Want more value for your buck? Then never buy Capcom's 1st release, especially any fighting games.

[Gen0ne]

Lesson learned. I'll never pick up a Capcom game right off the bat again. I went outta my way to get that limited edition and I just should've waited. Capcom, your business model sucks.

[lizard81288]

12 new characters seem kind of weak. that would be 6 from each side. There also better not be Evil Ryu, Oni Akuma, Violent Ken, PMS Chun-li, ect.

[RyuDrinksTheDew]

i hope so man, it needs to happen.

i didnt purchase MvC3 because of the** low character count and measly DLC.

if this ends up being true, then i will give it a buy.

[Krysifix]

Im just waiting for Super Rapid Capcom Vs Super Hyper Street Fighter Turbo Extreme Vs Extreme Super Marvel Speed Extreme Vs Tekken Super Hyper 4. Should be out soon.

[RockmanII7]

I'm buying it, I've put 140 hours in MvC3 according to Raptr so I know I'll get my moneys worth in this. The only thing that will stop me from buying is if there is no Spectator mode.

[maniacmayhem]

What sux is what do i do with the original game. After less than a year its already obsolete?

This is why Gamestop is needed. And from now on ill wait at least 5 or 6 months before i purchase a capcom fighting game.

Gamefly from now on. FTW

[Brasi82]

I want this for my handheld!! 3DS preferably since Vita is far away. Make it happen Capcom!

[KrimsonKody]

OMG!
Another "remixed" edition?
Being sold for re-re-re-retail price!?
That's sooo saaaad, I feel really bad...

PS: If Dhalsim is in, I may just buy...
-_O

[StarWolf]

perfect for me. I hope its on the 3ds.. or ill get it for the Ps3

[ZoidsRaven]

Wha.... ah..... HUH!?

......MAN FU(K YOU! 7_7

[ConstipatedGorilla]

Don't buy it guys! You can all wait another year and have SUPER Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 with even MORE characters!

[Fleetfiend]

I kind of wish that they would just fix the old one instead... but then that would be a bunch of DLC characters to buy.

Still, better than laying down $60 for a whole new game.

But alas... if Phoenix Wright and maybe Monster Hunter are in it... I will do it anyway.
