Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Announcement In May?

Team Spooky’s Henaki has been banned for posting information about a potential Marvel vs. Capcom 3 announcement in the Shoryuken.com Capcom fan forums. Be careful before you dismiss this, however, as this particular user has a history of leaking information that ends up being correct.

Henaki claims that Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will be out in May. He also prophesies that Super Street Fighter IV will be hitting PCs in the future. Apparently, the community leader at Shoryuken reacted strongly to Henaki's declarations and retaliated by permanently banning him. Henaki claims "multiple sources" have confirmed the new Capcom title.

What lends true weight to Team Spooky’s MvC3 claim is that they leaked SSFIV’s full roster weeks before the game was released. All the characters they prematurely revealed ended up being in the final version of SSFIV.

Why not start up Power Stone again? That's a fighting game worth re-visiting for this generation of systems.
by Anthony Tabuena Thursday, April 08, 2010 at 03:13 PM

Awesome! I can't wait for this to happen, especially with all the potential characters that could be added. I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed on this one.

Whoa. At my college they have Marvel Vs. Capcom arcade version right next to the Marvel vs. Capcom cabinet. Nobody plays the first version and the second one is mobbed day and night. I hope the third cabinet shows up. So I can finally get some time in MVC 2 of course.

I agree with Redwall. Love that game. Should be in replay here on GI.

Personally, I think fighting games have passed their heyday. But, good on Capcom for trying.

I hope this is true. I'm curious as to whether it'll be a disc or download only.
by EndrzGame Thursday, April 08, 2010 at 03:33 PM

I want a Marvel Vs. Capcom with the new visuals soooo bad,....and Darkstalkers too! C'mon Capcom, make it so!
by slantxl Thursday, April 08, 2010 at 03:39 PM

Agree with Redwall and Skullmainaic. Powerstone is the only fighting game I would be interested in if announced. Those games were awesome.
by mooglelover1 Thursday, April 08, 2010 at 03:45 PM

Some of us have bben waiting almost a decade for this news. Let's hope it's really true this time!
by Duke E. Pyle Thursday, April 08, 2010 at 03:47 PM

Yeah, Im with Redwall on this one, But MVC3 sounds AWSOME!
by MrPopadopolis Thursday, April 08, 2010 at 03:56 PM

I want to see Capcom vs. SNK 2 on Xbox Arcade, wouldn't mind some new titles as well since all signs are pointing to the teams at Capcom being extremely busy on fighting games in the near future.
by Dogfonos Thursday, April 08, 2010 at 04:08 PM

I loved this series; it'd be great if its true

by DarkLadySarai Thursday, April 08, 2010 at 04:23 PM

I guess we shall have to wait and see if the prediction is true...
by Meta77 Thursday, April 08, 2010 at 04:25 PM

i hope many fans relize if they make a new one there going to fix the gameplay cause MVC2 is so broken its not even funny. which is the main reason many old players are so good.
by Ness Thursday, April 08, 2010 at 04:37 PM

if this is true I can not wait for it
by Perfect.Disaster Thursday, April 08, 2010 at 04:45 PM

MvC3 would be awesome and it would be even awesomer if Blink and Skaar were in it.

Capcom Captivate 2010 is just around the corner, so we will just have to wait and see if this info is true or not.
by Vincent Thursday, April 08, 2010 at 05:25 PM

As long as it isn't Wii exclusive I'm stoked. I loved MVC2. Still is my favourite fighting game of all time.
