Introduction
Marvel vs. Capcom Origins is a PSN & XBL release of 2 classic CPS2 fighting games: Marvel vs. Capcom & Marvel Super Heroes. The games feature the usual modes one would find in a regular fighting game released today (Versus, Online, Gallery, etc.), and will be sold for $15 (and MS Points equivalent). Furthermore, the collection will feature a Gallery mode.
The game will be released on 25-26 September.

Marvel Super Heroes

Release dates: 1995 for Arcades, 1997 for PSX & Saturn

The 2nd entry in Capcom's Marvel comics fighting games (XvSF was released in 1996), continues many of the concepts introduced in X-Men CotA & Darkstalkers/Vampire. It has chain combos and aerial raves, chains can be normally canceled into supers or special moves. The game utilizes a Gem sub-system, by which entering a command input will allow you to use any of the 6 Gems in the game, however the Gem that'll activate is the one highlighted for you at the bottom of the screen. Each of the 6 Infinity Gems offer different buffs, and some characters gain unique buffs from a specific Gem.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Superheroes

Release dates: January 1998 for Arcades, 1999-2000 For Dreamcast & PSX

The 3rd entry in Capcom's vs. Marvel series, featuring a total of 21 playable characters. If you're familiar with MAHVEL 2 and 3's system, this game should be easy to pick up after some practice. The game utilized a system by which both a team's characters can appear on screen at the same time. The game also allowed you to choose from around 22 assist characters...who were promoted in the game's flyer and certain artwrok. Ryu and Zangief both had the ability to 'Change modes' allowing Ryu to Pallete Swap himself and make him his moves resemble Gouki & Ken's, whereas Gief turns him into a have Ultra-armored Goth Zombie Robot Protector of Mother Russia. Apparently, Ironman was intended to be in MvC1, but licensing issues prevented his inclusion, so Capcom pallete swapped the spirte and we got War Machine in his SUNDAY'S BEST!

Woah! Did not know this was coming out. Good OP!

 

[.la1n]

Take me for a ride

 

[Stabby McSter]

Woah! Did not know this was coming out. Good OP!

They announced it at EVO, I believe. At first I couldn't believe it. D:

 

[Xav]

Will be picking this up for sure, hated the direction Marvel VS Capcom 3 took the series.

 

[Apoc87]

My body is ready

 

[Ace Harding]

How does this compare features/visuals-wise to last year's SF3: TS re-release?

 

[Seven Force]

Definitely picking this up. MSH Cap was a beast.

 

[ilMikhail]

Great OT Tizoc :O

[izakq]

Loved, loved, loved MSH. Would always try to get to the end with all six gems in hand. Hard as hell, especially when facing Spiderman.

 

[MisterHero]

MvC1 and MSH are amazing games, but that's not all of them!

X-Men vs. Street Fighter
Marvel vs. Street Fighter (this one is my favorite!)

and of course X-Men Children of the Atom where Akuma killed all of the X-Men

nice Shinkiro art lol

Take me for a ride

NO

thank god

 

[Host Samurai]

Would have been cool if they added Xmen vs SF. But this is still an excellent package.

 

[antitrop]

Take me for a ride

That was the second one.

 

[Jotamide]

I loved MvC back in the day, how good is the other game included? Never heard of it.

 

[Lothars]

How does this compare features/visuals-wise to last year's SF3: TS re-release?

I believe they are gonna be the same type of re-release with comparable features to the Third Strike release.

 

[Tizoc]

How does this compare features/visuals-wise to last year's SF3: TS re-release?

Hmm it'll have similar filters to 3S OE and have a Vault and challenge mode IIRC.
Furthermore you can disable the 'messages/checlists' on the sides of the screen in this release.

X-Men CotA and XvSF will prob. be released in the near future. They couldn't release a bundle of them because of licensing issues in regards to using 'X-Men'.

 

[Acid08]

Woo!

I quite like these games, fun change of pace from MvC2. I notice that these two games are still in a lot of arcades while 2 is usually nowhere to be found

Thanos will destroy ya'll. PSN: Acid08

 

[Gravijah]

yo, why isn't the title "LET'S GO CRAZY"

 

[Levito]

I put so many hours into Marvel vs. Capcom on the Playstation back in the day. CAN'T WAIT

 

[Skilletor]

I'm so in. Is out on PSN yet? lol

 

[Tizoc]

^Nah it'll be up whenever Grace Chen feels like it.

yo, why isn't the title "LET'S GO CRAZY"

TBH I didn't think it'd fit ^_^;
If a lot of GAFfers think it'd be a good subtitle, I'll ask a mod to add it in =3

can't believe how many years it's been since he passed away.

I find it the opposite. I always see MvC2 machines. I found it in a bar once, too. :<

 

[DJSharpeCheddar]

SICK Shinkiro art.

 

[bigkrev]

can't believe how many years it's been since he passed away.

Wait, what? When did this happen?

 

[.la1n]

That was the second one.

sarcasm...

RONG GAME.

I'd be in if it wasn't $15. Then again this isn't being done by Backbone so maybe a demo could sway me... maybe.

 

[BassForever]

Sadly I know I'll buy this, play each game for like 30 minutes, then never play it again :/

 

[Oni Link 666]

I saw this one on Twitter the other day. It's a play on Jim Lee's X-Men (Legacy) #1 cover.

 

[.la1n]

^ ugly as sin

 

[Ifrit]

Psylocke? She's not even playable in this games (You can summon her though iirc, but still)

EDIT: Corrected by Oni Link, my bad

 

[nocturnedelight]

Still confused by this package. Sure MvC is more popular than MSHvsSF, but in a bundling perspective, it would like nice having XM&XMvsSF and MSH&MSHvsSF.

That Shinkiro art is amazing. First I've seen of it.

 

[Tizoc]

Sadly I know I'll buy this, play each game for like 30 minutes, then never play it again :/

If you're on PSN I wouldn't mind playing some SUPER laggy matches with you ^_^;

 

[Oni Link 666]

Psylocke? She's not even playable in this games (You can summon her though iirc, but still)

Psylocke is playable in Marvel Super Heroes.

 

[Ifrit]

Psylocke is playable in Marvel Super Heroes.

Oh you're right, completely forgot about that. Probably cause I pretty much never used her

 

[Tizoc]

RONG GAME.

[RelentlessRolento]

forgot it was out today!

 

[CrashPrime]

Before buying this thing, how is SF3s holding up online? Are there random matches available at most primetime gaming hours, or is it a barren wasteland?

Is there significantly more people playing PSN vs XBL or are the numbers so low it doesn't matter either way?

I want to buy it on the platform I can actually play against people regularly.

 

[enzo_gt]

Fantastic OT dude. I'll add to FGW thread OP when I get home.

 

[SlaughterX]

RONG GAME.

I'd be in if it wasn't $15. Then again this isn't being done by Backbone so maybe a demo could sway me... maybe.

$15 for two games isn't a bad deal, especially considering Capcom just released JoJo recently for $20...

Anyway I'll be buying it on the PSN (SlaughterX) so I can use my Saturn pad, so is it supposed to come out today or tomorrow? I really suck at air juggles. *Listen's to Roll's Theme in anticipation.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I'm really out of the loop, is this coming out on Vita at all?

 

[Tizoc]

@SlaughterX- For US, it's when Grace Chen gives the OK to update US PSN on Tuesday...or Wednesday.
EU should get it on Wednesday.

 

[shoplifter]

Needs more Norimaro

 

[enzo_gt]

I'm really out of the loop, is this coming out on Vita at all?

Nope.

 

[TheOGB]

Nice OP. I'll definitely pick this one up down the line.

yo, why isn't the title "LET'S GO CRAZY"

I'll second this

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

So its just a straight arcade port? No extras?

 

[crimzonflame]

Nice OP. Waiting to hear about the netcode before I pick up.

 

[enzo_gt]

So its just a straight arcade port? No extras?

No there are unlockable galleries, unlockable easy ways to access old cheats, challenges, etc. very much akin to the 3S:Online Edition featureset but much improved.

 

[Tizoc]

So its just a straight arcade port? No extras?

There'll be a gallery mode =)
EDIT: Just learned that EU ver. will be 12 Pounds, guess I'll be getting it off my US account tonight whenever it updates ;D

 

[Kai Dracon]

SOmeone is still playing 3SO on 360 cuz the replay channel on youtube is still getting a fair number of uploads per day.

And if this measures up to the 3SO package it'll be a nice deal. Iron Galaxy still has to patch a few things in 3SO (and a patch is in the works), but their games represent a very good set of stuff. Great screen and presentation options, with scanline support and arcade cab view. Lots of nice stuff to unlock in the gallery, and so forth.

They made a few goofs with the structure of the online in 3SO like not having the full and proper set of filters for ranked play but they're fixing that in the next patch anyway.
