Chris returns from San Francisco and, in true GR fashion, Jeremy is unavailable. The universe doesn’t want us all in the same place at once. Its dangerous. Chris regales us with a bit of his time in SF, we swap notes about our experiences with Stacking, somehow Scott Pilgrim returns, we discuss the pros and cons of playing games on the hardest difficulty, the new Professor Layton game, and of course, Marvel vs. Capcom 3. It doesn’t stop there, though! We also talk about mobile games and why Dianna can’t have an iPhone, and what the hell is up with making a Heavy Rain movie. SO MUCH TALKING!!
**With intro and outro music by This Place Is Haunted**
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?
