Marvel vs. Capcom 2 hasn’t even hit the shelves yet for Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade and already Capcom is toying with the prospect of a third installation. In an interview with Gaming Union, Seth Killian (Community Manager at Capcom) made it pretty clear that MVC3 is already a potential idea. He explains that,
“The thought is that if we make MVC2 a big success we’ll have a good first step towards showing the relevant people that a new game [Marvel vs. Capcom 3] could be a success.”
In other words… if you loved the original Marvel vs. Capcom as much as I did and have been eagerly waiting for a new installation, there may be 2 on their way. From what I’ve seen the 2nd utilizes the same style and gameplay with added extras but a third installation might mean a re-invention of a much loved game… for now… I’ll hold thumbs.

Faheem… you do realise that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was released for the Dreamcast nearly a decade ago, right? As in June 29, 2000? So, whilst I can understand that you do mean in the context of XBLA and PSN, to say “eagerly awaiting a new installation, there may be 2 on the their way” isn’t altogether correct.
I’m just saying 🙂 . Anyhow… I do hope they have a reason to do MVC 3 based off of the release of MVC 2’s success.

Actually in all honesty I’ll admit to not knowing that… but I’ll toss that up to the fact that around 2000 I was connected and where I’m from (small farmtown in the Eastern Cape)… Dreamcast was was like a myth.However the Upcoming release is still called Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and if that’s what they’re calling it then I’d be lying if I called it anything else but thanks for he headsup. :unsure:
