Announcement: 'Marvel vs. Capcom 3'


Video arcades are sadly scarce these days. If you've ever watched the masterful documentary King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, then you know that many of the arcades that still exist are considered national landmarks simply because you can't find ones like them anywhere.

I've never experienced a true classic video arcade, but there are a few arcade games that stick out in my memory as childhood staples. One of these is Marvel vs. Capcom.

Well, an announcement was made today that shocked me completely. After a decade of waiting for a third Marvel vs. Capcom title, we got our wish. Capcom and Marvel announced Marvel vs. Capcom 3 today, treating us to an early trailer. We get to see Wolverine fighting Street Fighter's Ryu, Iron Man battling Darkstalkers' Morrigan in midair, and the Hulk destroying the scenery while facing Resident Evil's Chris Redfield.

I rarely buy fighting games unless they have "Super Smash Bros." somewhere on the box, but this just might be an exception. Check out the trailer embedded below from GameTrailers. Oh, and by the way, that's apparently all in-game footage...
