Just before the legendary EVO tournament kicks off this weekend, we're happy to announce two of the '90s' biggest fighting titles are coming home in a slick dual pack. Marvel vs Capcom Origins arrives in September for $14.99 / 1200 MSP, containing Marvel Super Heroes and the original Marvel vs Capcom.
As with last year's Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition, MvCO comes complete with all manner of graphics filters, dynamic challenges (aka those cool in-game achievements), online play with spectator modes and replay saving.
Marvel Super Heroes borrows some of the cast and mechanics of X-Men: Children of Atom and adds non-muties like Spider-Man, Iron Man and Captain America, plus villains Dr Doom and, of course, Thanos. I say “of course” because MSH pulls from the mega-awesome Infinity Gauntlet storyline and uses the Infinity Gems to spice up each battle; the Power, Space, Time, Reality, Soul and Mind gems each give you unique effects.
And then we all know the original MvC – it took the guts of X-Men vs Street Fighter, jumbled the roster a bit (including additions like Mega Man and Venom) and made the whole thing nuts. Already looking forward to banging my head against the wall fighting Onslaught..
