LAG - "Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was released on February 15th, 2011 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. It’s a classic sidescrolling fighting game where characters from the Marvel universe do battle with some of Capcom’s most popular video game characters.
There are only a handful of fighting games that have caught my interest in the past. Soul Calibur, Super Smash Brothers, and Mortal Kombat. Nowadays, Few fighting games are geared towards the average gamer, instead opting for the experienced fighting veterans. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 attempts to appease both crowds. This is my first marvel vs. Capcom experience and I’m by no means a tournament player. This is a Lazy Ass Gamer review after all."
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?
There's a Marvel vs. Capcom 3?!
It's a bit late for a review since Ultimate is out in 2 months but then again the name of the site says it all.
I don't think it's quite 9/10 but i think ultimate will definitely be a 9 or higher.
