GF: MvC3 is pretty much everything I wanted it to be. It’s flashy, it’s fast and it’s a lot of fun to play. That said, it has some of the problems I’ve gotten used to overlooking in Japanese games; no real tutorial and a bad online package. If they had just put a little more time into the online UI and made it easier to just jump into a random game, I would have nothing bad to say about MvC3. Teach me how to play the game better on top of that, and I might throw away the rest of my games for the next six months.
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?
This game is fun! Play this and you will not regret it if you are a fighting fan and marvel fan as I am :)
Try to protect your wallet. Don't buy this game.
