EA Marvel fighting game no longer in development, partnership dissolved
by Scott Jon Siegel 
{ Jan 29th 2008 at 7:38AM }
The partnership was first entered back in early 2004, and resulted in 2005's critically-derided Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. The EA Chicago-developed fighter would have been only the second title developed in the Marvel/EA partnership. GameTap speculates that the deal may have fallen through after the recent resignation of EA Chicago studio head Kudo Tsunoda.
Despite the setback, Marvel still plans on pursuing further video game projects in the future (good news for true believers? Or maybe bad news).

Zootittles @ Jan 29th 2008 9:09AM
A jolly good idea, if I say so myself.
FOXHOUND @ Jan 29th 2008 9:34AM
I WANT MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3, DAMNIT.
*_* ...that way we could have Daredevil vs Phoenix Wright! ATTORNEY BATTLE!
ViagraFiend @ Jan 29th 2008 10:41AM
That is exactly what I was thinking.
Zootittles @ Jan 29th 2008 12:59PM
Holy crap Foxhound, that's freaking brilliant.

This game was doomed from the start. We've already seen so many 3D superhero fighting games, and they all suck!
With of game of so many characters, 2D seems to work the best. Either Marvel get on the SSB Bandwagon or create another VS. Capcom game.

The world will miss The Imperfects.
What will happen to such memorable characters as "Fault Zone" now?
Roto13 @ Jan 29th 2008 8:22AM
Maybe give the license to a non-crap company this time.
baby sea tuna @ Jan 29th 2008 8:31AM
Nooo...oh wait, I don't care.
LiK @ Jan 29th 2008 8:49AM
probably would've sucked. i agree that Capcom should be doing the next one and make it 2D!
koehler83 @ Jan 29th 2008 10:29AM
I thought Activision did Marvel games...?
Wonderflex @ Jan 29th 2008 10:47AM
I'm with you, I thought it was Activision. Never-the-less...bring on the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 - 2D.
sketchampm @ Jan 29th 2008 10:24AM
AWESOME!
Now go get it Capcom!!
bigtobacco @ Jan 29th 2008 9:59AM
More Capcom is more gooder.

I saw a preview for this game a while back and it didn't look that good anyway. The surroundings where destructible but every punch or kick would send you flying 50 feet in the air or into another object. They would have been better of making a Dragon Ball Z game like that.
Kizzle @ Jan 29th 2008 10:00AM
CAPCOMMMMMMMMM. Get off your butt and close the deal.
Norm @ Jan 29th 2008 10:01AM
This is the best news I've heard all year!
Ghaleon @ Jan 29th 2008 10:20AM
Thank God. Maybe Capcom really can get the license back, esp if SFIV is successful.
DP @ Jan 29th 2008 10:48AM
Capcom vs. Marvel 3, that's all I'm saying.
Zsavior @ Jan 29th 2008 10:59AM
Capcom vs Marvel 3: The new dream team
Harvey Bird Man, Phoenix Wright, Darve Devil. Not only would they get OJ off they would turn around and beat the crap out of him afterwards and then Prosecution all while signing autographs.
fyreblazer @ Jan 29th 2008 11:00AM
MvC3 PLEASE!!!
Now we can have:
Frank from Dead Rising & Chris from RE VS Marvel Zombies
Wayne from Lost Planet VS Bucky, The Winter Soldier
Demitri Maximoff VS Dante/Nero
Rad Spencer VS Omega Red
Get some Power Stone characters in there...
The possibilities are endless...

I was hoping the game would get made. It looked like it could be fun.

Edog Lost @ Jan 29th 2008 12:00PM
Yeah, I thought this game could have been good. I would love a new MvC Game. Is that Possible? I don't know.
Me @ Jan 29th 2008 11:11AM
I want Marvel Vs. Capcom Vs. SNK.
Ahhh to dream.
FidliousWong @ Jan 29th 2008 11:58AM
Iori would win... PERIOD!
WookieePants @ Jan 29th 2008 11:25AM
all I want is Marvel UA 2
ThornedVenom @ Jan 29th 2008 11:26AM
I CRAAAAAAAAVE CAPCOOOOOOM
VampireHunter Z @ Jan 29th 2008 11:52AM
Don't get your hopes up too high that Capcom will make a move. I would love it but the legal crap behind it can be complicated. Not sure why Marvel dissolved the relationship in the 1st place.
Sabbath @ Jan 29th 2008 12:04PM
We need Marvel vs. DC, but I know thats got a slim chance of happening.
Batman vs Spiderman
Wolverine vs. Lobo
Galactus vs. Darksied
Appoclypse vs. Doomsday
Don't know why it's never been considered, it would sell shitloads.
Deck @ Jan 29th 2008 12:12PM
Well considering it was EA Chicago... it would have sucked anyway.
Now... just let Capcom get it!
Dr0ooo @ Jan 29th 2008 3:35PM
I am so hoping that Capcom will give the world a MVC 3 in High Def. It certainly would be a treat.
J.Goodwin @ Jan 29th 2008 5:51PM
Good news. Very good news.
Now my dream of the Marvel fighting license being split between Capcom (2d) and Team Ninja (3d) is one step closer to reality.
*drool*
PhrawzT @ Jan 29th 2008 6:01PM
Come on Capcom, we've all been waiting for Marvel vs Capcom 3. I don't even care if the sprites are any different from 2. I just want to see a game with the same feel of MvC2 with over 100 characters.
Batzarro @ Jan 29th 2008 6:47PM
Whew! For a moment there I misread and thought Marvel Online was canceled...
McRib @ Jan 29th 2008 11:54PM
It'd be nice enough alone if they let Capcom publish some more MvC 2 so I don't get raped on eBay trying to get a copy. A Live version would rock
Knoxximus @ Feb 3rd 2008 4:24PM
Looks like it's time.....for a PETITION!!
