Growing up, I loved going to arcades and playing the games. Every time I saw one, I’d rush to it and ask my parents for some quarters. I remember being so elated to play games like Time Crisis, Area 51, and House of the Dead. Those days of asking my parents for quarters are over, but arcades are still around like Dick Clark (I know! I was shocked, too!). There was one game I remember playing that kept my attention and always made my arcade experiences.
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was a combination powerhouse of my favorite characters into one game. From MegaMan to Iron Man and Ryu to Wolverine, I enjoyed every minute of it. Using combos with the backup characters, I was able to amp up my game play.
So you can imagine my excitement when I saw the teaser trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom 3: The Fate of Two Worlds. I never knew the game to have a specific storyline, and I always assumed that it was just a marketing scheme to give more attention to the more popular characters of both universes. I can’t really go into depth about the story because professional reviewers haven’t explored the game in-depth yet. I only read snippets, but I put a few dollars toward reserving my copy. ;-)
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 drops Spring 2011 (date is uncertain), and it should bring back some fan favorites; along with new faces. I’ll keep you all updated as more information on it becomes available. One thing is for sure; I’ll be at the midnight release if there is one!
Gaming, believing
