Marvel vs Capcom 3? "Yes. And maybe sooner than you think."

[ParticleReality]

While this is in no way direct confirmation that a new Marvel vs. Capcom game is in the works, Kevin Feige, President of Production at Marvel Studios did give fans a ray of hope to cling to before an official announcement is made. When asked if a new Marvel vs. Capcom game is possible someday Feige said, "Yes. And maybe sooner than you think."

An interesting note: Capcom has a title in the works in Japan called Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes. Because of various licensing issues with Tatsunoko it's virtually impossible that the game will ever make it stateside. Keeping that in mind, the graphics engine and fighting mechanics are already in place which would make it very easy to import Marvel characters and push the game out the door in a relatively short amount of time.

Again, this doesn't confirm the existence of a new Marvel vs. Capcom title, but it's certainly something to hang on to until a meaningful announcement is made one way or the other. We'll have more on this as it develops.

Need's Deadpool in order to get my money. Also, better be High Quality 2D.

Needs Gene.

Forget about 2D and Capcom.

If this game happens, it would look like Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.

[Shins]

Anything is possible, but wasn't/isn't one of the hangups still the conflicting rights to all the characters?

[CurseoftheGods]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Beezy]

it would look like Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.

HISS AND BOO.

[MoxManiac]

Forget about 2D and Capcom.

Then you want to look forward to the far-superior KOF XII instead.

I don't expect Marvel vs. Capcom 3 to come out for a long time, if ever.

One of the reasons why so many Vs games were pumped out so quickly those years was that almost all the sprites could be reused.  For MVC3, they are going to have to start from scratch, which probably is not a good thing.  Since the chances of a MVC4 might not be there, these sprites are going to be used for one game only, which might not justify the expenses to create the new sprites.  If they use the same 1994-1996 sprites, nobody is going to bother with it, unless it is a PSP or DS exclusive.

It wouldn't be sprites.  it would be based on sfIV engine.

It would be the Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom engine. 

[CurseoftheGods]

It wouldn't be sprites.  it would be based on sfIV engine.

It would be the Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom engine. 

That would make more sense.

If it's more like MvC and less like MvC2, greatness.
