Oh, Hey, It’s Marvel Vs. Capcom 3
The rumors have been piling up about Capcom announcing Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 for months. Well, as far as I know they haven’t yet, but this incredibly plausible looking trailer for the game has popped up on YouTube, and unless someone tells me otherwise, I’m assuming it’s real. I’d have preferring another 2-D game with hi-res sprites, but I’m not at all surprised to find that Capcom is using 3-D character models on a 2-D plane a la Street Fighter 4; the fact that Chris Redfield is included has already got me excited about what other characters may make the roster — in fact, if you’re not too sick of Marvel shoving him down your throats, I’m pretty sure that’s Deadpool as the middle silhouette behind the Marvel logo. Infinite thanks to Ryan for the tip.
