Marvel vs Capcom: a history of the Vs fighting series
It’s Marvel vs. Capcom 3, baby!
Games Radar posted an excellent article about the history of the Marvel vs. Capcom series and how it has evolved since X-Men: Children of the Atom. Highly recommended reading, though I would have liked it if they went further and added the titles that weren’t from the Marvel series, such as: Capcom vs. SNK, Capcom vs. SNK 2, and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.
Capcom vs. SNK 2
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
Including Tatsunoko vs. Capcom would have made a lot of sense, in my opinion, as the newly released Marvel vs. Capcom 3 takes its core game play from Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and adds a little bit of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for good measure. It makes one wonder why Tatsunoko vs. Capcom has been overlooked so much. The game is, quite in fact, very much fun. My guess is that half the cast is unfamiliar to the western audience. I myself am prone to choosing the Capcom characters over the Tatsunoko ones purely because I have some emotional attachment from my gaming past to them. If you have a chance, try out Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. (A bonus of trying it out now is that a brand new copy of the game is relatively cheap.)
Now only if Capcom and SNK would make Capcom vs. SNK 3…
