Back when the standard version of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 hit the previous generation of consoles, about seven years ago, the hype was strong and I spent a fair few sessions attempting to best my far superior human opposition. Then came the Ultimate version, bolstered with extra characters and additional content, and that’s what’s now been ported over to the latest consoles. Will Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 still hold up well in the fighting genre after all this time? Does it actually bring anything new to the table, or is it a straight port without a hint of extras?"
Batsu Ichimonji and Bishop from the X-Men are joining the fight in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 through a recently created mod for the game.
Dual Pixels: "After Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite there was a lot of doubt regarding the franchise ever returning in some sort of fashion..."
Capcom seriously dropped the ball with MvC Infinite. You can tell that it was heavily influenced by outside marketing that wanted to promote the characters in the MCU films only. The roster was lacking, the gameplay was slower than the previous game and there just wasn't a lot of the wackiness we come to expect.
From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
This is just a port straight from the old game yeah? My son is begging me to buy it for him but I'm pretty sure he's got it on 360
Never got into MVC 3. It felt like a stepdown from MVC2 in every way outside of graphics. The upcoming entry is doing nothing to wow me either.
