The imminent existence of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has been the only thing stopping me from picking the original up. It’s been a difficult road, but it will pay off soon. The new edition of the game — with 12 new characters — will be shown off throughout New York Comic-Con. Sadly I’m stuck in bleak Scotland, but I’m not jealous or anything…
Since we can’t all be there, Capcom have put together a wee spotlight for two of the new characters. Both these chaps come from a background in doling out legal justice. Phoenix Wright crushes his enemies under the might of a whimsical, baffling justice system, even throwing the book at Doctor Doom. Nova, like all good cops, uses the powerful Nova Force to subdue his foes, he absorbs energy and then blasts it back all over the place. What a mess.
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 extends the game with 12 new fighters, 8 new stages and new modes. You’ll be able to get your grubby little mitts on it on November 15 in North America and November 18 in Europe on Xbox 360 and PS3. Fight! (in a month.)
