Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Updated!

After a period of whispering on various fighting game/video game forums, Capcom has finally released the long awaited announcement trailer for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3.  Rumored to have been in the works for quite some time now, the trailer shows some cool cell-shaded Tatsunoko VS Capcom style cut-scenes with returning characters like Ryu, Hulk, Iron Man, Morrigan and some new stuff…  Mainly Chris Redfield(!).  As more is announced, I hope to see some more awesome Capcom and Marvel characters and ideally, this time around, the Capcom characters will be able to hang at high level play…

Here is some new info that was recently revealed at the Capcom Event… (via EventHubs)

• The game is set for a spring 2011 release date on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

• Right now the development team is looking at having about 30 characters — or so — in the roster.

• Seth Killian said that fans can expect “a healthy dose of new blood” when it comes to fighter selection.

• It’s a 3-on-3 tag team fighting game, players build their own squads and uses Assists as well.  Very similar to MvC2.

• The title uses an advanced version of Capcom’s MT Framework, which powered Resident Evil 5 and Lost Planet 2.

• MvC3 has aerial combos, hyper combos and other original gameplay systems.

• The game is officially titled Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds.

• The goal is to get 100 pieces of music in the game, that includes old favorites, new tracks and remixes.  The ‘Take You For A Ride’ song won’t be returning.  At least, it’s not planned right now.

• There are no plans for an arcade, PC or Wii version.

• The team behind this wants this game to have a strong storyline.

• Development started on MvC3 in the summer of 2008.

You can see more by taking a look at the article.  They also have some images of the announced characters and some extra non-gameplay footage.

Oh, and for fun, let’s make a giant list of all the characters that ought to make it in!  Annnnnd… Go!
