QUICKTAKE: Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2000's Marvel vs. Capcom 2. The project is being directed by Ryota Niitsuma, who last worked on the Wii fighter Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

Like Capcom's Street Fighter IV, the game utilizes full 3D character models and backgrounds, but is played upon a 2D plane for old-school gameplay. MvC3 is slower paced than MvC2, but the combos are just as impressive. A simplified control scheme adds some accessibility, but doesn't remove the depth. Fans should expect this one to live up to the hype. Read more »
