Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is a crossover fighting game developed by Capcom in collaboration with Eighting. The game features characters from Capcom's video game franchises and from the comic series published by Marvel Comics. It was released in February 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. It is the fifth installment of the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise and the first to use three-dimensional character models instead of sprites. In Marvel vs. Capcom 3, players select a team of three characters to go into battle and try to eliminate their opponents. It features similar tag team game mechanics to previous games in the series, as well as new gameplay methods designed to make the game more accessible to new players. The game was produced by Ryota Niitsuma, who previously worked on Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, which uses the same simplified three-button attack system. The game received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the gameplay and character selection, while criticizing the online component and the lack of features and game modes. A month after its release, more than 2 million copies were sold worldwide, making the game a commercial success. Less than a year after its release, Capcom announced an updated version of the game, titled Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The standalone update was released in November 2011 and included additional characters, stages and gameplay improvements.
