Fighting game fans will fall in love immediately with the "easy to play, hard to master" format of the game, and fresh faces will be able to build themselves up from step one on to the online experience. It's good to see the franchise make a comeback in such a fun, insane way. Anyone who loves fighting games would be daft to miss this.
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.

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?
MvC2 was the last fighter i really got into, and now im finding myself playing MvC3 for hours at a time choosing to lose sleep rather than put down the controller. but the one thing that would have made this game a 5/5 for me was the storyline. i wish there was one being a big marvel fan as a kid and playing so much street fighter, I really would like to know how this whole tournament comes about. but really its a small gripe in a excellent game.
