DC Vs. Marvel Vs. Capcom Considered?

Posted by simoniker on from the 2d-fanboy-braindissolving dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to this interview with Chris Jelinek of Capcom, done by the unofficial SNK-Capcom.com site while they were at E3. The confirmed news in this article seems to be that the 3D Capcom Fighting All-Stars has been cancelled (although we never get a direct quote from Jelinek himself about it), but after much poking and prodding from the interviewer, Mr.Jelinek also mentions that they're considering a 'Vs. Vs' title, and gives the possible example of "Take, in theory, Batman vs. Spiderman.." So, DC. Vs. Marvel Vs. Capcom? With this blatant rumor, the stage is set for either rejoicing amongst Capcom fighting game fanboys, or derision amongst those fed up with Capcom recycling Street Fighter II for 10 years or more.

    I would buy this in a second (being the consumer whore that I am). These games are still fun even if they are rehashes of the same thing over and over and over again - I usually don't even mind that pretty much anybody with quarters can beat me without looking at the screen. Throw in a bunch of DC characters and some slightly less pixelated graphics and I'll be happy.

    This game better have half naked clinging/dancing pixel groupies or I'm not buying.

    Capcom is perpertually stuck in the Street Fighter II universe, which is why there is no development (man, those couple of years must have been really busy for Ryu and co.), unlike Tekken which does grow as a story.

    I'd imagine that if they were to release a SFIV, there could be more in the development department. However, considering the difficulty that Capcom had counting to three, I doubt that we'll see it before 2010. So until then, more rehashes: Capcom vs SNK; Capcom vs Marvel; Capcom vs DC; Capcom vs Konami; Capcom vs Collecovision; Capcom vs the cast of LoveBoat; etc.
