After 10 years of rampant speculation GamesRadar can finally confirm that Marvel vs Capcom 3 is indeed a reality. Revealed last week during Capcom's annual Captivate event by Keiji Inafune himself, the combo-crazy fighter will return to PS3 and 360 in spring 2011, continuing a fighting-game resurgence that began with the universally lauded Street Fighter IV.

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?
I want see a Namco VS Sega game. Just imagine, Virtua Fighter Vs Tekken.
