Why does the Mortal Kombat web series and the Capcom Embargo ending both have to happen on 4/12!!!???

Unless......

I doubt it. Wasn't there a good 6-7 month wait between SFIV's release and SSFIV being teased?

They also have to squeeze in the 3DS and maybe NGP ports in between. After SSF4 3DS shipped a million, I'm pretty confident MVC3 is being fast tracked to the system.

Niitsuma has said multiple times that MvC3 is too frantic to work on a portable system in 3D, and I really don't think Capcom is going to force him to make it work.

Am I the only one questioning the viability of MvC3 on 3DS? It's already a game that would have greater technical requirements than SSFIV, which already had to sacrifice moving backgrounds for the 3DS.

Edit: Beaten (I would've thought something like that would be said).

That was before the suits found out they could sell a million copies of a 3DS fighter. Even if they EX Edition it, MVC3DS is probably going to happen.

Yeah, I just don't see it. Maybe NGP. I'm betting that already-hinted 3DS version of Street Fighter X Tekken will happen, though.

It's a native MT Framework game unlike arcade/console SF4 though, so maybe it'll be easier to downport than start from scratch?
 
The problem I see with putting MvC3 on the 3DS is that you have the potential to oversaturate the marke very quickly. We have Dead or Alive coming very soon. Then there is that Cartoon Network game (granted different target audience). People no doubt want a portable Smash Bros. Capcom would do well to give some space between releases and not simply over do things. SSFIV was a launch game. They'd do well to wait and see how the other fighters do outside of the launch day window. Also with other games coming buyers will be able to see how the other games play. There is no telling which one they could end up liking more since they play differently.

SSFIV shipped a lot but we don't really know how well it was received do we? I know for me personally out of the games I've gotten it's my least favorite. Not that I hate it or anything but if another version came out or even MvC 3 or Tats vs Capcom I'd be taking a pass.

That's a million shipped. Going by the European and JP charts, I'm not convinced it's actually sold anything close to that, though it's probably the best-selling launch title in the West.

As for MVC3: I'm not going to say it'd be impossible on 3DS, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Since when does Capcom care about a port being 100% accurate?

Though, couldn't the lack of moving backwards be because it was a launch title?

Just remove some frames!

Even with moving backgrounds, 3-on-3 tag, and three assists per team to account for?

That sounds more like overestimating the hardware. I don't see a launch rush as a reason they would have to make the backgrounds completely static.

Not necessary. There's no way that anyone could confuse. . . whatever DmC is with the original game.

That's the actual title of the game.

Pretty stupid if you ask me.

Ugh, I feel pretty dumb for imagining that there may be some story related significance to it then.

You know how the PS1 version of Marvel vs Capcom 1 didn't have tag? Downports are possible.
Click to expand...

This is true, but it would be a shame to make a significantly inferior port like that (PS1 vs. titles weren't even the same games anymore without tag). A portable MvC3 seems like something the NGP would be more suitable for.

Wait, your telling me that the whole time I was playing MvC on PS1, I could of been playing it with tag mode on the arcades? Well what the fuck.

I think graphically you could make something that'd work, of course, but I might be more concerned about RAM requirements for being ready for three characters' worth of movesets and assists (not to mention that some of the movesets are massive, like Dante's). I might be wrong, though, I dunno what stresses system requirements the most in the case of the 3DS.

Yeah. I think PS1 version had a tag mode too but you had to pick the same characters as your opponent due to RAM limitations.
 
If a downgraded version of MvC3 (would it really be that difficult with reduced detail and static backgrounds?) wouldn't work, maybe Capcom should think about porting Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom to the 3DS.

Better yet a sequel since the Wii's dying.

Capcom's HD fighters barely charted in Japan or Europe either, and yet they have similarly impressive shipments (1.6m SSF4, 2m MVC3, 2.9m SF4). Wait for NPD.

Seriously? You think Capcom maxxed out the system first time out with a launch game?

The background elements in SSF43D are all sprites, if given more time and optomization I don't doubt Capcom could've animated them. The issue was likely frames, and getting something that looked consistent with 30/60fps. Maybe we'll find out with AE3D.
 
We're the day before and yet still, only one leak?!

I don't know whether to applaud Capcops or weep in the corner at their might.

A launch game for a handheld, which is still a downport from a game developed for HD consoles. It'll be interesting to see what they can do for games designed specifically for the system (such as RE: Revelations), but it's better to have realistic expectations of games ported from considerably more powerful hardware.

Nah.

Awesome DMC3 is sequel to awesome DMC1.
Shitty DMC4 is sequel to shitty DMC2.

This is a reboot and will begin an entirely new lineage of shit.
Click to expand...
Don't be ridiculous. DMC4's combat is one of the things that wasn't terribly wrong with the game, and in the action genre combat is (almost) everything. DMC4's combat, enemy designs, and boss battles take a big steamy one all over DMC2's face. If you disagree, you're embarrassingly uninformed about action game design. That you would equate DMC4 with DMC2 raises a giant red flag about your credibility.
 
Finally just saw the AE DLC trailer. Is that seriously a Mas Oyama Oni alt? :lol

edit:

Wait that was Evil Ryu. Did I just see an Evil Ryu, Mas Oyama alt?

Tekkaman Blade is the only reason I'd consider buying that game or any game with him. Mad nostalgia.
