This rumor was going on around the web that their is a Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 version in works. It had additional stages, upgraded gameplay, new gameplay modes and additional characters. Now it is finally confirmed by Capcom officially.
Capcom has a long history of releasing updated versions of their old games with extras and new features. They did it with Resident Evil 5(Gold Edition), again with Street Fighter 4(Super Street Fighter 4, Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition) and now Marvel VS Capcom 3 is receiving this same treatment.
This version will contain about 12 additional new characters which will bump the total character roster to a massive 50 fighters. In addition to this, Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 also features enhancements and new features which will improve the gameplay mechanics and online multiplayer mode.
Out of the 12 characters, the fighters that are announced so far are:-
- 1. Striker (Capcom)
- 2. Firebrand (Capcom – Ghost ‘n Goblins)
- 3. Ghost Rider (Marvel)
- 4. Hawkeye (Marvel)
Additional characters will be announced in the upcoming months. Below are some of the screenshots showing these new fighters.
It will retail for $39.99 and will be released in November this year on PS3 and Xbox 360. PC guys are excused again so if any of you had hope of this version coming to PC as well, better shatter them as unlike Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition, this won’t get a PC release. Maybe Capcom will reconsider it later but for now there is no plan of a PC release.
