Less than a year since its initial release, MvC3 is getting another iteration in usual Capcom fashion. Where Street Fighter IV has gotten 2 new versions with Arcade Edition being the most recent, MvC3 hasn’t even properly aged to a single year old before Capcom has decided to add 12 new characters to its roster as well as a “refined” fighting system and additional online features.
Along with a re-balanced fighting system MvC3 will also sport a spectators mode for online combantants to watch other fights happening across the world in real-time. As of today Capcom revealed only a handful of characters today but the full cast has already been leaked:
Marvel
- Ghost Rider
- Dr Strange
- Nova (Who?)
- Rocket Raccoon (Umm, this guy is actually awesome)
- Hawkeye
- Iron Fist
Capcom
- Strider
- Firebrand (This space was stolen from Mega Man X or Sigma’s reserved space)
- Vergil
- Frank West (Does anyone actually like this guy)?
- Phoenix Wright
- Nemesis
Officially there doesn’t seem to be any talk of there being a DLC version of the game for pre-existing owners, which is quite the pull under the rug move seeing as the game isn’t even 6 months old as of today.
Current launch date is sometime in November for a cool $39.99, though people like me who adopted the original version should be looking to cash in on the original so they don’t lose any capital on the “Ultimate” MvC experience.
