rad!

pfft, i totaly loved X-Men vs. Street Fighter. i hope this game is good if and when ever it does come out.

the best xmen game ever was that old arcade version where you cold be nightcrawler and colosus and wolverine. haha i still remember the annoying voice the blob had in that game...
"nothing stops the blob!"

I liked the Mutant Academy fighting games on the Playstation. You could be Nightcrawler, which always rocks my world.

Marvel versus EA on the cards

EA and Marvel Enterprises announce a deal that will see Marvel superheroes battling new EA heroes in upcoming fighting games.

Electronic Arts and Marvel Enterprises have today announced a deal that will see EA developing fighting games that pit superheroes from the Marvel universe against new EA heroes. Under the multiyear agreement, EA has also granted Marvel the exclusive rights, as worldwide licensing agent, to all consumer products and media licensing for the new EA hero characters. Marvel already has plans to publish comic books introducing the EA characters in the future.

"This is a tremendous opportunity for EA to create new characters for fighting games that can be exploited through our global merchandise licensing machine to fuel sales in many other product categories," said Allen Lipson, president and CEO of Marvel Enterprises.


While it will be nice to see the new Marvel games come out from EA (who does make good games)...one game they have planned is Marvel vs EA...Marvel vs EA...

Can anyone tell me who the hell will be on EA's side? Well we know who will win a match between Cyclops and "Some EA no name." Sorry if I don't sound all too thrilled with this, but I just really can't see this game really as anything....well, good. In fact, it seems to me to be one of the worse ideas I heard in the video game industry today.

*Thinks about Dual Screen*

Ok, maybe not that bad...but still not that great. But it just seems like a dumb idea to me from the story I read...in fact, that Yahoo story sounded a lot better and more interesting.

God, I just miss the Capcom versions...now those were great.

Yeah, why couldnt they just make Marvel vs Capcom 3?
I guess Capcom's got its plate full with its Sammy (Guilty GeaR) and SNK (King of Fighters) collaboration... still, who wouldnt profit from a Capcom vs Marvel vs SNK vs Sammy slugfest??
apart from that, the Penny Arcade newspost expresses my sentiments exactly.

On a side note, I hate hate hate hate (did I mention hate?) EA because of the way they mangled, brutalized, murdered, and then proceeded to rape the carcass of Ultima, the holiest of all game licenses ever created... but mayeb thats just me.

So now I can be Gambit


and kick Aragorns ass?



Awesome

Marvel and Pixar

i'm pretty much with runelateralus... i read about this yesterday... and i don't see EA NOT being known for their fighting games a good or interesting thing...

and new EA heroes? that sounds so stupid it makes me dizzy

psyched

yes! this is going to be awesome! wolverine and spider man and gambit versus.. umm.. car. and michael vick.

this is relatively unrelated, but yeah, game designers need to do a better job with special characters. i suppose my only argument for this at all is soul caliber II, because on PS2 heihachi sucks really, really bad, and on xbox spawn is kinda cool, i guess... but i mean, how can you have link for gamecube, and then NOT put cloud in for playstation and master chief in for xbox?

end random tangent.
