Capcom announced a few hours ago that their next fighting game, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has now been released and should be available on store shelves near you on both Playstation 3 and XBox360 gaming consoles. This release will include new iconic characters from both Marvel and Capcom franchises, a refined fighting system, eight new stages and new modes.
The highly acclaimed fighting series adds 12 new legends to the robust Marvel vs. Capcom® 3 line-up, bringing the total overall roster of characters up to 50. This includes zombie-slayer Frank West on the Capcom side and cosmic defender Rocket Raccoon from the Marvel Universe. The new character options also include Phoenix Wright, Vergil, Nemesis, Strider and Firebrand from Capcom and Nova, Iron Fist, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider and Hawkeye from Marvel.
In addition to new characters, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 features a host of enhancements and features to improve the game’s balance and online functionality. One of the biggest additions to Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is the fan-requested Spectator Mode, which allows fighters to watch live online matches together.
Also, available as free downloadable content after launch, Heroes and Heralds is a new single player and multiplayer team-based mode where you unlock brand-new abilities with upgrade cards, customize your favourite character with new powers and compete in groups as either Heroes defending Earth from Galactus or as one of Galactus’ Heralds.
Capcom have released information on their DLC characters which I will include in another post shortly.
