When the original release of Marvel Vs Capcom 3 (or MvC3) was first announced I was pretty excited. It couldn’t have come out at a better time either as my love for fighters was in full swing (and it still is) and my love for Marvel comics was growing bigger.I was glued to every single announcement that was released but when the game finally came out, I felt a bit underwhelmed.
If you’ve read any of my previous articles, you’ll probably know that I’m a huge fan of Devil May Cry, specifically the original Devil May Cry, and Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition. Sadly, in the current generation I’ve felt my hunger for Devil May Cry a little unsatisfied – while Devil May Cry 4 was enjoyable, the game really lacked replay value, and Dante got reduced to only having a few backtracking stages to play.
The last couple of years have seen a big comeback for the fighting game genre – with Super Street Fighter IV and Mortal Kombat 9 bringing the 2D fighter genre kicking and screaming into the current decade, made to shine with updated visuals and tighter controls than ever before. As fighting games (and our rivalry) become even better than ever, we thought we’d make a tribute to our favourite characters in the genre!
Contributed by Helen Doherty Okamiden is a Capcom RPG for the Nintendo DS. It was released in America on the 15th March, (and Europe two days later), and is a sequel to the critically acclaimed PS2/Wii title Okami. I won’t say too much about the story so as not to spoil things for those of you intending to play this, but I will say it is set 9 months after the events of the original. It is considered an indirect [...]
Last week saw Capcom’s Captivate expo where the infamous japanese developer/publisher announced some earth shattering new info that got every Capcom fan either squealing in excitement or fainting at the very thought of how epic these announcements are. Even though there is a lot to talk about in regards to what was announced, I am going to focus my attention to the Fighters. Capcom are infamous for their 2D fighters and what has been announced is pretty epic in my opinion, [...]
It wasn’t long ago that I listed Marvel vs Capcom 2 as one of my all-time favourite fighters - and with a decade of memories, it seemed unlikely we’d ever be seeing a sequel. However, that all changed suddenly, and we were greeted with an announcement that put fighting-game fans in excited uproar – Marvel vs Capcom 3 would be coming to consoles, and it wasn’t even that far off. After a few rounds of playing a build of the game at [...]
Leon: Seeing as it’s less than two weeks till Marvel vs Capcom 3′s release, me and Garv are getting a little bit twitchy. Looking to be one of the greatest fighters released since Street Fighter IV – which is still going strong – MvC3 brings the clash between Marvel and Capcom back from its decade-long hiatus and makes room for the latest and greatest from both sides. So to keep our fingers busy (as opposed to the usual practice of staring [...]
Two year ago I really got into fighting games. Before then I was dipping in and out of things like Tekken and Soul Caliber but not really getting a feel for them. It wasn’t till about two years ago I picked up Street Fighter IV and though I would have a go. I got hooked and I love Street Fighter more than ever as a fighting game. About a month or so ago one of my friends at work started [...]
It’s been a little while since I last wrote about Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, but I’ve been closely keeping track of the news, so now I can present you something a little more substantial. So what’s the latest news?
If you’ve read my previous articles, you’ll probably know that I’m eagerly awaiting the new iteration of the Marvel vs Capcom series. With the announced roster currently standing at 22 (with Albert Wesker, Tron Bonne, Spiderman and X-23 being the latest), an interview with Seth Killian revealed that we’ve actually only seen around half of the roster – meaning we’re looking at something around a whopping 40+ characters in the finished article. So yesterday we were finally able to get [...]
