Marvel vs. Capcom 3 release date is set

Capcom decided to spring a nice surprise on everyone in the fighting world. They will be releasing Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds on February 15, 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America. For the European crowd, you will have to wait till February 18, 2011 for the game to drop.

A Special Edition was also revealed. For only $10 more you will be able to unlock two playable characters: Resident Evil heroine Jill Valentine, and the one-eyed tentacle monster, Shuma Gorath.

Everything else you w ill  get in the Special Edition:

  • Steelbook case featuring exclusive art work
  • Comic/Art book – A 12-page prologue comic, writen by Marvel writer Frank Tieri, plus campaign art and a curated selection of fan art.
  • 1-month Subscription to Marvel Digital Comics, providing unlimited online access to Marvel content.
  • 2 Playable DLC Character – Shuma Gorath and Jill Valentine. Content is available 4 weeks post-launch.

This is really exciting for someone who is a huge fan of fighting games. I will be heading to the local game store and reserving the game. Do I think the Special Edition is worth it? Maybe, considering that you do get two playable characters off the bat. Expect to see it on either PSN or XBL when the game drops on February 15.

  1. WhiteGoblin I'm one of those people who have spent the last decade+ building & maintaining cabinets, fixing marquees, & grabbing everything I could from places that no longer value or even understand the ol'coin-op greatness.

    You know those people who actually enjoy playing through the large 100GB collections of roms out there instead of just showing them off to other nerds? Hell every time I'm in Vegas it's pretty much just time spent standing in a Tuxedo looking for a good round or two while scouting for other people to beat Shadow over Mystara with.

    Yea needless to say I've been waiting on this title to come for a while. While I might find myself most at home behind a nice MVS cab I'm still keeping my CC rotations fresh in excitement. This almost helps me forget about that steaming pile Keiji Inafune left for us at PAX... almost.

    UPSLynx Alright Perry, let's do this.

    Winfrey Now all we need is a montage showing each player getting psyched for the fight!

    CrazyJoe I'm sad that I didn't recognize all the cartoons in that montage... Some definite classics though...

    rolleggroll I for one am very disappointed about the limited edition. You are really just paying for the DLC characters which could be...$3, $5, or $8 and then an extra ~$2-$5 for the "limited" steelcase, comic and free trial to Marvel comics online. Its not like you get Jill Valentine or Shuma Gorath on day 1. You just have them paid off when they do come out.

    As for the UPSLynx vs FreshyP battle....I don't know who to root for. I'll gladly take bets though. Loser has to take a shot of the 40 lbs. of Chinese rape liquor *if that horrendous drink is still there.
  10. primesuspect
    primesuspect That horrendous drink is NOT still here, no.
  11. UPSLynx
    UPSLynx Well, you bet on me vs. Genevieve in SF4 last night and won a dollar when I lost to her.

    Results will not be typical when I play Perry.
  12. Thrax
    Thrax The rape drink met an unfortunate end when I tossed it like a hand grenade into the night.
  13. Winfrey
    Winfrey You better find where you threw that. There's probably a rape tree growing rape fruit and that shit is just going to end the world.
