Nintendo Everything saved the Multiplayer.it photos of the event

In one of those, there's the Marvel v.s. Capcom 2 logo. Yes, TWO, not THREE.

What the hell is this.

Second picture looks like it has the logo to Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
...What? Fate? Shown in a Western focused presentation? Wut.

Seriously...Fate?!? The logo coincides A LOT, so I don't think it's something else...

Maybe they were giving an eulogy for the Marvel series?

But an eulogy should be done when you announce something new for that brand, and we've just got Ultimate Marvel v.s. Capcom 3. It's not that Capcom is ready to milk everything at the limit of

























...No, wait.
 
Unfortunately, Capcom has said this is impossible due to Sega having the rights to Aliens games.

I'm sorry but Capcom are full of bullshit. I'm sure they can work a deal to get the license in order to release the games. Konami has been able to do it and Capcom themselves with MvC2.
 
Why in the hell are they showing off MvC2? :S

That was six months ago which is like three Capcom years. UMvC3 needs the roster update anyways. I'd be cool with a character DLC pack and no balance changes.

MVC2 HD Remix, Sirlin at the helm. 8 characters at start the rest are DLC. All characters are nude, each piece of costume cost $1, must be online only.

Well if they're talking about the future of fighting games, a retrospective is pretty much to be expected. MvC2 was a big game for them.

I was actually surprised to see that MvC2 outsold HD Remix on XBLA by a pretty hefty margin(don't know numbers, only placement) even though the latter was redrawn and everything.

The Mahvel games definitely have selling power.

Wow seriously? That's quite odd considering the discrepancy in effort put into each. Couldn't have predicted that outcome.

Checked the pics and those are from 2009 from what the net is saying. Whatever those pics are they aren't this years captivate.

Only thing I do know is Ono posted a message at one point during captivate that was
"So we're having Captivate at Rome just now! Fighting team had presentation for new future"

...So at least we know something fighting game related will be mentioned. My bet is its a 12 character trailer for vita sfxt or Darkstalkers finally getting a teaser. What I'm hoping for is absolutely anything related to the anniversary of Street Fighter and Megaman in game form somehow.

EDIT:

Been hunting the internet for leaks. Only thing I can find is Joystiq saying Inafune let something slip last month about working on something Vita during an interview so I'm betting some of that is at captivate. The biggest thing I found is some Italian staff member at Captivate posted this thing.

And another journalist tweeted that they just photographed a soldier. Found this all posted on "thesilentchief" so I have no clue about credibility. If I find any other rumors or potential leaks online as I play detective on this event I'll post em.

If we're getting a Darkstalkers teaser watch it be either-
Morrigan vs. Felicia
Morrigan vs. Demitri

...when it should be Gallon/J. Talbain vs. Demitri.

Found an italian site with one of the guys at Captivate who is posting a video from his room.

I don't know what the hell he is saying but he whipped out his free stuff and THIS was in his bag.



Why the hell does he have a bloody "ivy League tall oaks" sweater? Dead Rising college edition? Anyone speak italian here who can translate what he is saying here? URL is on the pic.
 
The embargo seems too long, but that's from the point of view of someone who wants to know about this shit now goddammit and not someone who actually has to write all this stuff up.

You know the part that sucks? While Captivate is going on, some Capcom stafferes will be at PAX East 2012 showing the same games and having another Street Fighter X Tekken Tournament. As a matter of fact, it will just be DMC HD and the tournament. Seems like a waste to me. Why not just have a Street Fighter X Tekken tournament? It's odd.

Here is their schedule.
