Make Your Favorite Retro Characters Fight Each Other In Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite

By Matt | Dec 11, 2023

Beginning with X-Men Vs. Street Fighter in 1996 and soon going on to encompass both Marvel and Capcom's franchises, Marvel Vs. Capcom has been a favorite franchise among fighting game lovers for years now. Last seen with 2011's Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, the franchise is making a comeback this year with Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite.

What's so cool about this franchise is that it lets you pit teams of retro gaming icons like Mega Man, Ryu from Street Fighter, and Arthur from Ghosts N' Goblins, against iconic Marvel mainstays like Spider-Man, Hulk, and Wolverine.

Shown off in a major way at Sony's PlayStation E3 conference, it was revealed that this new entry in the series is going to have a fully fleshed-out story mode! In what can only be described as a comic book storyline on steroids, a team of superheroes and video game characters have to team up with the mad titan Thanos to stop the combined form of Ultron (last seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron) and Sigma (the antagonist of the Mega Man X series), Ultron Sigma, from enslaving the now-fused worlds of both franchises.

While the story looks interesting and ridiculous in that comic-book style we all love, the question being asked by fans remains the same as ever: what new (old) characters can we expect to see duking it out? A few have already been announced, with the Marvel side getting Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Gamora (which I'm sure has nothing to do with the upcoming/current movies featuring these characters), while Capcom's brought in Mega Man X, the only version of Mega Man to not appear in the franchise yet.

Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite is due out on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on September 19, 2017.

What characters would you all like to see appear in the game? I'd personally really like to see The Winter Soldier duke it out with Viewtiful Joe.

Like other retro-style new games? Take a look at Tunic, a game that reminds us of oldschool Zelda!

By Tanya 4 months ago

While it's been known since 2015 that Nintendo was teaming up with Universal to create a park that would give all of us a chance to explore our dream worlds, it's been a long time before we got any news. But now, three years later, Universal has finally started building. I know, I'm screaming too. The best thing about this park is that while the first one is getting built in Japan, they aren't stopping at one. The Nintendo theme park will be coming to both Orlando AND Hollywood. That means we don't have to take these huge international trips

By Tanya 4 months ago

Playing Mario Kart was one of the most important things that you could do as a child. It was how you were going to develop that mental acuity needed in your day-to-day life. Sure, you could learn some things at school, but Mario Kart taught us problem solving in ways that were actually fun. You learned how to wait until someone was going over the big jump in Wario's Stadium before you used your lightning power, you learned where the glitches and cheats were, and most importantly, you developed a bond with one of the characters.Anyone who has played

It can't be easy to try and create a video game platform, especially one that people will continue coming back to for years.
