Despite its budgeted price and new characters, sales of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 fall short of its predecessor.
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.
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record felt like the zombie survival series' peak, with Frank West's non-canon adventure providing massive thrills.
It should had sold less than that.
I would like to believe that this short fall in sales has a direct correlation and was a result of the f**ked up move they pulled on fans by not offering DLC updates, but instead, releasing UMVC3 9 months from the release of MVC3. In a way, it's like Capcom saying, "oops! We messed up and we're not going to fix it. Here, buy this complete version instead."
It's no surprise that Capcom is known for releasing an enhanced version of their fighting games, but UMVC3's timing crossed the line.
