MVC3 spotted for PlayStation Vita

Fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds has popped up on Amazon France (spotted by Gematsu) for the PlayStation Vita.

If the listing is accurate, the three-on-three brawler will join fellow Capcom fighting game Street Fighter x Tekken on Sony's PlayStation Portable successor, due out in Europe early next year.

MCV3 launched in February to positive reviews. Eurogamer's MVC3 review smashed an 8/10.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, which adds 12 new characters and rebalances gameplay, is due out on home consoles later this year.

I was thinking this could be capcoms un announced portable title they would have for launch maybe a gap launch title will be announced in coming weeks.

 

[sixteen-bit]

So it's one of the 5 games Capcom mentioned, as expected.

I would prefer if they released Ultimate MvC3 though.

MVC3 spotted for PlayStation Vita

 

[demosthenes]

Why...wouldn't this be the ultimate version...?

 

[Dahbomb]

Why would they release MVC3 over UMVC3 for Vita?

 

[tribal24]

ALL over my face ! this will work perfect with the controls

 

[LiK]

not too surprising.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Why would they release MVC3 over UMVC3 for Vita?

Same reason they released SSF4 on 3DS instead of SSFIVAE

They don't want to cannibalize console version sales.

 

[MikeE21286]

Hopefully it's actually UMvC3 and the posting is a mistake.

 

[MooMoo]

Normally I'd be excited, but I have to agree with the other sentiments; why not release UMvC3?

 

[andymcc]

Why would they release MVC3 over UMVC3 for Vita?

so they can release the vita version of UMVC3 six months afterwards.

 

[Shalashaska161]

I'd laugh my ass off if this isn't UMvC3.

 

[cws]

So this is Capcoms Vita launch game ? Makes sense.

 

[Augemitbutter]

Why would they release MVC3 over UMVC3 for Vita?

because that trick already worked on the 3DS.

 

[sixteen-bit]

so they can release the vita version of UMVC3 six months down the road.

And give some breathing room for the retail console release.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Man, if this is true, plus SFxTekken. Sweet. If they ported AE2012, and if somehow Namco and Sega get ports of TTT2 and VFFS on there, it is the handheld system of forever for me.

Hmm...if it were UMvC3 I would be getting both console and hand held.

Now I'll just be getting console, so they lose a sale :|

 

[Electivirus]

...

Surprise.

 

[Azure J]

Wait, Vanilla MvC3 or UMvC3? If the former, that's prett cool, but eh, if the latter... Oh my fucking God, body ready, MAHVEL BABY, yadda yadda.. :lol

 

[KingDizzi]

Shock and awe imminent of that I'm sure.

 

[Takao]

Yeah, well okay.

 

[Anth0ny]

It's so gonna be Vanilla.

and then everyone will say "lolcrapcom"

I'd buy this day one... even though I play with stick, it would be fun to mess around with Mahvel on the go.

 

[Finaika]

I hope Vita is compatible with my Hori RAP Arcade Stick.

 

[djplaeskool]

Curleh mustache on the go?
Travel size Pringles snack pack?

Let's do this.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Especially if it has cross play.

 

[Kintaro]

...damn Capcom is stupid if this isn't Ultimate. Why even spend the money to do this?

 

[blizzardjesus]

i bet Mega Man still isnt in it.

 

[deim0s]

Hopefully it's actually UMvC3 and the posting is a mistake.

This.

Are we expecting a lot of titles at Gamescom?

 

[Jinfash]

No UMvC3, no sale.

 

[dankir]

Yeah that's retarded... it better be Ultimate.

 

[demosthenes]

This.

Nothing has really seen too JP. So not only am I expecting a ton of 3rd party stuff @ GC, but to see a lot of reveals @ TGS. If the thing is only coming out in Japan this year they have to have some other games that they haven't talked about for Japan.

 

[StealthGoblin]

This.

Sony need to do a big showing of 3rd party support at some point.

 

[Seik]

If this happens to be true, I'm ready to bet they'll put Mega Man in.

Oh Capcom, you...

 

[AbsoluteZero]

Why would they release MVC3 over UMVC3 for Vita?

Same reason they released Street Fighter IV instead of Super Street Fighter IV on the 3DS.

 

[Jinfash]

Same reason they released SSF4 on 3DS instead of SSFIVAE

They don't want to cannibalize console version sales.

Wasn't SSFIV 3DS released before AE's release though? This is gonna be harder to sell; UMvC3 releasing Nov and MvC3 Vita early 2012 at the soonest.

 

[Jigsaw]

umvc is out in 2011,vita in 2012...why would they release vanilla mvc then?

you can't compare this with ssf4ae because it was not announced for consoles until ssf4 3ds was already released

 

[LiK]

i bet Mega Man still isnt in it.

Vita exclusive..make you buy it all over again!

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Sounds about right

 

[Plinko]

YES! I'll take it.

 

[vg260]

Same reason they released SSF4 on 3DS instead of SSFIVAE

I don't think that's the reason. It was/is a development schedule/release window issue. They're releasing SFxTk after all.

 

[Dahbomb]

I think I speak for most in this thread when I say:

UMVC3 for PS Vita: OMFG GET FUCKING HYPED!!!

MVC3 for PS Vita: Meh don't want to deal with salty balls again

UMVC3 for PS Vita with exclusive Mega Man character would produce record levels of salt.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

I guess as a novelty this would be interesting, but I don't get how anyone really likes to play fighting games on handhelds. The worst was SSFIV on the 3DS, it's horrific with that dpad. The only one decently playable was Tekken 5 on PSP.

 

[Data West]

Why...wouldn't this be the ultimate version...?

C-a-p-c-o-m

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

If only there was a transfarring option for every game on the vita. It would be so much more appealing. Like a blu ray that comes with a digital copy.

 

[Leona Lewis]

This and PSO2 were the only ports I wanted for Vita. Get on it, Sega

Are you arguing that the PSP has a better D-Pad than the 3DS? Because LOL if so.

If only there was a transfarring option for every game on the vita. It would be so much more appealing. Like a blu ray that comes with a digital copy.

And you'd be okay with paying $100 for every game for this feature?

 

[Kusagari]

They'll add Cole into this too.

 

[Jinfash]

I only have a PSP1000 but if I'm not mistaken later models have superior d-pads, even to the 3DS.

And you'd be okay with paying $100 for every game for this feature?

I'd personally double dip for games that are closely priced to Dragon's Crown's point.

 

[Busaiku]

Same reason they released SSF4 on 3DS instead of SSFIVAE

SSFIV3D was released a few months before AE hit consoles though.
Vita's coming out after UMvC3 launches.
