Two Worlds Collide

Marvel vs Capcom 3 is shaping up to be the fighting game of the year (or, best fighting game since Street Fighter 4) and it looks to be aiming for a launch early next year. The official word is Spring 2011 (March-May) but Gamestop are advertising the release date as February 15th. Either way, a collectors edition has also been confirmed for the U.S. which includes:

• Steelbook Case featuring Exclusive Artwork
• Prequel Comic
• Two Character DLC-Card (Jill Valentine & Shuma Gorath)
• 1 Month Subscription to Marvel Digital Comics

The DLC will be available 4 weeks after launch and there is also a preorder bonus of some console decals. Pictures below... (and a reminder, this is all for the U.S. so it may or may not be available here in Australia)

Characters Sourced

While i'm not a fighting game fan, i am looking forward to Marvel vs Capcom 3. The characters included in the game have been slowly being announced since the game was first mentioned, however someone may have spoiled Capcom's fun. A user at french website PS3Gen, managed to dig up a list of characters left in the source code of MvC3's Japanese website. This is definitely unconfirmed and shouldn't be taken as fact, but for those interested, click 'Read More' for the full list of 38 characters.
