Marvel vs. Capcom 3 depends on how MvsC2 fares

May 05, 2009 in News comments 9

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has been on the radar for some time now, and with the legal issues cleared up for MvsC2's re-release, many of us were hopeful that meant all was go for a sequel.

According to Capcom's Community Manager Seth Killian, this is not a definite, and the possibility depends on how well MvsC2 does. Y'all better buy it!

Sidenote: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, which looks fantastic, is suffering similar legal boundaries due to 13 different companies holding rights.

"The short answer is no, that's not any part of this deal," Capcom's Seth Killian lamented to Joystiq at a media event yesterday. "What we're hoping is that if people get really juiced about this title, and we can show Marvel that there's a lot of heat behind this, then they'll open up the door for us to do something with '3,' which is something we'd love to do." For now, licensing issues are preventing further developments.

    MvsC2 is still pretty big in North America, and Capcom's North American operations are becoming increasingly prevalent in the company's great scheme of things. Of course it depends on what sort of clout they have with Marvel at this point, it's been a while since Capcom first released MvsC2!

    I'd have to agree with Wolfwood. Even if this might sound like they're teasing us, I'm sure Marvel and Capcom both know of their fanbase. And if anything, more people will be buying the MvC2 re-release because there are quite a few people who haven't played the game yet and others who'd buy it for nostalgia's sake. Not to mention that they'd want to experience it in HD. If anything, I think we're closer to seeing MvC3 now more than ever. It's been ages since MvC2 was released on the PS2 and Xbox and we're finally seeing a re-release. That to me is a glimmer of hope.

    Yeah, from what I heard, it was some disagreement between Marvel and Capcom (as well as licensing) that stopped the MvC series. But the amount of profit they made/can make...surely MvC2's online play will be enough to gain sales.

      No disagreement, the license just expired. And at the time, EA (I think) was next up for bid.

      Who wouldn't wanna get it?

      No doubt in my mind that Marvel VS Capcom 2 online play will be enough to gain sales.

      Marvel VS Capcom 3 should have more characters... Not talking about from M.U.G.E.N.

      Marvel VS Capcom 2 should have a downloadable character content like bringing in Spider-Man 2099, Carnage, Fei-Long, Dante... Etc.

    Man... We've all been looking forward to it since Marvel VS Capcom 2 came out. Marvel VS Capcom 3 has been rumored around with website everywhere, especially M.U.G.E.N.

    The downfall to the whole bit was that they "misplaced" the contracts or something... The wait till NOW to do it?! We probably be at Marvel VS Capcom 6 or something...

    Of course they'll make the game! It's gonna be worthwhile!

    I can't wait!
