Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Is EVO 2017's Fan Selected Game
The ninth fighting game planned for the EVO 2017 stage has been selected and it's Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
The game won the chance to be featured as part of the tournament by way of charity donations. Fans donated money to the game they wanted to see played at EVO between the choices of Mortal Combat XL, Skullgirls, Pokkén Tournament, Killer Instinct Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Arms, Windjammers, Nidhogg, and of course, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 raised just under $72,000 with Pokkén coming up in second place with just under $67,000.
The PlayStation 4 version of the game is the one that will be played. For more on EVO 2017, head here.

Our Take
I was really rooting for Arms.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
