When Marvel Vs Capcom 3 exploded onto the console scene this year, it brought back a lot of that old school flair, nostalgia, and appeal fighting game fans were long craving for. Following the path of Street Fighter IV, it swapped two dimensional graphics in favor or a brush art styled 3D graphics engine, whilst retaining classic 2D brawl gameplay so as not to alienate veterans of the series.
Now, a new "upgrade" of the game has finally been released. Called "Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3", new characters, stages, and gameplay additions have been added to this latest entry of the VS series. It pretty much lives up to the reputation Capcom has garnered with its fighting games by rereleasing them with "updated features" and quirks.
As we reach the midpoint of November, a LOT of long awaited videogame titles bumped their way to local retailers and shelves. There's so many out there to choose, you could spend weeks literally savoring each and every one of them. One of these games was the next installment of Ubisoft's long running Assassin's Creed series, Assassin's Creed Revelations, which continues the adventures of Desmond Miles and his ancestor, Ezio Auditore.
However, I didn't pick that up yet. Instead... I got Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3! BOOYAH!
Yes, the "big game" I was referring to earlier is actually an "upgraded version" of the same Capcom fighter released early this year, and in true Capcom fashion, it sports new modes, gameplay changes, and new characters to boot! I still have to try my hand on it as of this posting, but the game is now out for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360!
I picked up the PS3 version, and got a free poster to boot! Be sure to get your copies if you own either system, or wait for is along with the Playstation Vita as its one of the new portable system's launch titles this December! If you need more convincing why it's A MUST for fighting game buffs, here's the launch trailer to remind you why...

With that, it's time for another fighting game session of awesomeness. Stay tuned for my thoughts soon, true believers, and hopefully good things come out my run with this"upgraded crossover sequel"!
