Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds Message Board older than one year ago

#capcom It's the battle of the alternate characters, as the Hulk's female counterpart and Mega Man X's mentor and partner join the struggle for the fate of two worlds in Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. More »

A couple of new challengers have appeared in the crossover fighter Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. GameSpot revealed that Mega Man X's buddy Zero, last seen fighting in this year's Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, will join the Capcom side, while IGN posted a trailer revealing She-Hulk on the Marvel side.

Check out both trailers after the break, and watch out for a brief cameo from yet another new character, "Some Really Unfortunate Driver," in She-Hulk's trailer.

The Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 models were in fine form last week during Capcom's Fight Club in Atlanta, Georgia, which I missed due to being deathly ill. See more of what I didn't see at Capcom Unity. More »

When he's not busy being the mayor of Metro City, Mike Haggar is appearing on Capcom employees' computer monitors during Halloween parties. Spotted above, Haggar is seen in what appears to be the Servbot stage of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 behind a costumed Capcom employee. Shoryuken also speculates his elbow is what appears to be cut off in the right side of the image.

While Haggar appeared way back when in Saturday Night Slam Masters, the former wrestler turned city mayor has yet to make an appearance in a fighting game proper. Could Marvel vs. Capcom 3 be it? It's certainly possible -- Capcom has since removed the photo from its Halloween party gallery.

After showing off its multi-universe brawler Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds to a warehouse full of crowded Chicagoans last month, Capcom has announced the next location for its series of Fight Club events: Atlanta, Ga., the city of Braves, Falcons and Coca-Cola.

26 fighters revealed so far.

While you can simply watch these two videos introducing MODOK and Magneto to the Marvel vs Capcom 3 cast, we wanted to simulate the experience of being at New York Comic Con. The Marvel Games panel was bursting with energy, with fans cheering on their favorite characters. Who would you want to play as? The obscure, but awesomely named and shaped "Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing" -- or fan-favorite Magneto? Let us know.

We're back with first footage of Sir Arthur (Ghosts 'N Goblins) and Nathan Spencer (Bionic Commando) duking it out in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Marvel's expected to talk about the game -- and a new title based on one of its properties -- during a NYCC panel tomorrow morning. We'll be live with news!

Just moments after Capcom announced the inclusion of Bionic Commando's Nathan "Rad" Spencer and Sir Arthur from Ghosts 'N Goblins in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Marvel unveiled its two latest additions to the game's cast: Magneto and MODOK. Keep reading to check 'em out in action in our gallery.

The Marvel vs. Capcom 3 roster just keeps on growing. At a New York Comic Con panel, Capcom announced the addition of Bionic Commando's Nathan Spencer (with dreadlocks and bionic arm!) and Ghosts 'N Goblins' Sir Arthur, both from the Capcom half of the fighting mash-up. In addition, Capcom revealed some alternate costumes for Spider-Man. Oh, and there's a story, too:

"Victor Von Doom has assembled the greatest villains his world has to offer. Together with the diabolical Albert Wesker, this unholy alliance will join their respective universes in an effort to conquer both. But doing so has come with a terrible price. A great and powerful threat has been awakened .... a threat that will set into motion a battle the likes of which neither world has ever seen ... a battle that threatens the fate of two worlds!"

But that's not all! This weekend will hold at least one more MvC3-related surprise. Marvel is having a panel of its own tomorrow morning at 10:45 a.m. EDT, where it will announce two more characters from its side of the game -- in addition to a brand new game. We know that one is a returning character, but one is a newcomer to games. Exciting, no? We're planning on live-blogging the event, so stay tuned!

The wristband pictured above isn't just a charming, retro-stylized fashion accessory -- it was our ticket into one of the most exclusive events held in Chicago last evening: The Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Fight Club. We didn't see a lot of you guys there (tsk, tsk), so we've gathered up our favorite photos taken during the proceedings and placed them in the gallery below. Basically, we'd like to be your wristband into the event. And, since it took place last night, we guess we'd like to be your time machine, too.

We tried as best we could to capture the feel of the event in photos -- like the excitement of the frequent, close matches where fortunes were reversed in the final seconds of a bout; or the surreality of seeing people cover themselves in fake shiners and busted lips. There was also general confusion around a decapitated Servbot head, which, we're almost certain, we never saw anybody wear during the evening. Was it some kind of warning? We may never know.

The "Games Software Sales Forecast" included in Capcom's latest financial report includes launch windows for a handful of the company's upcoming titles -- the most intriguing of which is Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. According to the report, the game is set to launch sometime during the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year, meaning Capcom's planning to release it some time between January 1 and March 31, 2011.

Capcom's no stranger to releasing it's blockbusters during the first few months of the year -- however, this strategy became riskier this year's first-quarter "second Christmas." As such, the report states that Capcom "will further refine our long-term portfolio by deploying major titles in each quarter of the fiscal year." If only every other game company would be so prudent, we might be able to avoid the crushing load of games we have to wade through during the year's occasional busy release months. How about it, gaming industry?

Capcom's TGS announcement of Spider-Man's addition to Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is a formality. Of course Spider-Man was going to be in there. Nobody's going to put the effort into modeling X-23 and not bother to get to Spider-Man. Yes, Marvel's marquee wall-crawler is back (and we're glad to see him), with most of his moves from previous MvC games intact.

Now, Resident Evil's Albert Wesker, that's a neat surprise. He's really fast! And he teleports! And he has a really nice black trench coat! See videos of both new characters after the break, courtesy of GameSpot.

Us mid-westerners have it pretty rough when it comes to having video game events stop by our neck of the woods. Fortunately, Capcom has chosen to end this pattern of neglect, announcing today that a Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Fight Club event will be held in Chicago next Wednesday.

Capcom's over-the-top comic book crossover has picked up another combatant at Tokyo Game Show. Ripped from the pages of X-Men, "X-23" enters Marvel vs. Capcom 3 as a nimble counterpart to Wolverine. As our exasperated comic expert points out, "She's a female clone of Wolverine and possesses all of his regenerative and feral abilities. She also has adamantium-coated blades protruding from her hands and feet -- so she probably doesn't spend a ton of money on gloves or galoshes."

You can get a snikt peek at X-23 in action (along with Tron Bonne) in the video clips after the break.

A new mode is added in the name of accessibility.

This latest Marvel vs Capcom 3 trailer reveals that Mega Man Legends' Tron Bonne is apparently a playable character, as she was in MvC2. Oh, Captain America also destroys a helicopter, Viewtiful Joe rides Amaterasu on a flowery rainbow and, well, a lot of stuff happens. You should watch it.

After the break, we've got two new Marvel vs. Capcom 3 clips showing off the powerful, level-three hyper attacks from Super-Skrull and Amaterasu. Amaterasu is the palindrome dog-god from Okami, and Super-Skrull is the most delicious thing you can buy at Dunkin Donuts.

Capcom released footage of Marvel vs. Capcom 3's newest fighters, Viewtiful Joe and Dormammu, and we're happy to report that they look suitably insane for the high-flying, explosive fighter. Dormammu (a demon) acknowledges Devil May Cry's Dante as a "demon hunter" in the game, which is a nice touch! Head past the break to see the new characters in action, along with a new trailer.

Speaking of the new characters and Dante, it occurred to us that with Joe, Dante, Trish (all of whom appeared in the PS2 version of Viewtiful Joe), and Amaterasu, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is turning into a Clover Studio reunion! Without any actual Clover Studio staff, of course. The game just needs Gene from God Hand and it'll be a total Clover tribute.

Viewtiful Joe, Dormammu join the ranks.

Two more characters have joined Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Neither Viewtiful Joe nor Dormammu are strangers to alternate universes -- Joe jumped into Movieland to rescue his girlfriend Sylvia, and Dormammu is the ruler of his own Dark Dimension. For these two, suddenly being faced with a universe full of new people throwing hadoukens or whatever at them is not a big deal.

Another similarity between the two: Dormammu is primarily a Doctor Strange character (speaking of whom, we'd love to see him make an appearance in this game!) and, well, Viewtiful Joe is a strange character. Look at the size of his head!

Dr. Doom, Super Skrull, Chun-Li and Trish joined the cast of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in the Comic-Con show floor preview build; though Thor and Amaterasu didn't make the trip (lazy gods!). I checked out the new characters and chatted with producer Ryota Niitsuma about the latest roster updates.

Of the four, Super Skrull seems to be attracting the most attention at the show. The famous comic book villain has been the hero at Comic-Con, wowing attendees with his Fantastic Four powers: slamming opponents with Thing fists, flaming on with Human Torch fire, and performing an impressive Mr. Fantastic stretch-throw impression. Niitsuma recalled that Skrull's mix of abilities was a tough concoction to brew -- but certainly a potent one in action.

Deadpool doesn't talk nearly as much as he should.

And why hasn't Howard The Duck been confirmed yet.

D:

Marvel's First Family a no-go for upcoming fighting game.

The wolf from Okami kicks some ass.

T.Q. Jefferson, director of Marvel Games, might not have had the element of surprise on his side when revealing the inclusion of the Mighty Thor in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, but the confirmation was more than welcome when he made the announcement at the MvC 3 panel at Comic-Con.

"Bringing him into this game is huge," Jefferson said. "The fact that we've got the movie coming out and another Thor game coming out from Sega, there's an appetite for Thor out there among the fanbase." For the especially curious among you, Jefferson revealed that the version of the Asgardian god used in this game will be Thor as drawn by Olivier Coipel in the latest comic series.
