Sometimes when you watch Thanos and Dante square off in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, you can’t help but wonder how we got here. How did the titans of Marvel Comics and Capcom Fighting games end up in a game together? How is this normal? How is Marvel vs. Capcom a thing that every gamer knows about? Well… it’s a long story.
NetherRealm confirms its Mortal Kombat franchise has sold over 80 million copies in the last 30 years, and here's how it competes against other fighters.
Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.
Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.
Everyone is trying the shared universe thing these days, but Marvel and Capcom were mashing up their most beloved characters decades ago. Perhaps their best crossover effort was Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, which was released on the PlayStation 2 & Xbox on Nov. 19, 2002, in North America. Previous releases took place in arcades and on Sega’s beloved but ill-fated Dreamcast console. Later releases came out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360’s digital storefronts.
Former employees of Backbone Entertainment have formed a new company called Digital Eclipse. On Twitter studio head Mike Mika confirmed they would love to help the fans. In addition to having ported MvC 2 before, the studio has worked with Disney on re-releases of the Disney Afternoon Collection, Aladdin and The Lion King. Legions of fans are waiting for Marvel vs. Capcom 2 to take them for one more ride.
These fighting game series have been sitting out for too long. It's time for them to get a sequel.
to be fair, there were three capcom vs snk titles. 1, Pro & 2 but only one SvC Chaos. If there is a capcom/SNK crossover that needs a new entry it is that one.
Tatsunko Vs Capcom was the last good one they made after MVC 2. Since then Capcom seems to be doing everything they can to undermine the series.
At this point Capcom has crossed over with Marvel, SNK, Tatsunoku, Namco, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Bandai, Sega, Square Enix, Level-5, Konami, EA, & Take-Two.
Games like this make it seem like Capcom has a lot of enemies. Everybody wants to fight them.
