Thor and Amaterasu descend into Marvel vs. Capcom 3

by JC Fletcher on Jul 22nd 2010 9:35AM

Marvel.com seems to have accidentally revealed two more Marvel vs. Capcom 3 characters ahead of time. Character art and screenshots depicting Thor and Okami's Amaterasu appeared in Marvel.com's gallery for the game, though it seems to have been taken down since.

However, because sites like Omega-Level saved the images, and because you can see one in this very post, and because the Thor character art remains in Marvel's gallery at this moment, it doesn't really take much faith to believe in these two gods. We'll probably learn more details during tomorrow's MvC3 Comic-Con panel.

I really like these editions to the lineup.

And JC, you might want to re-read the second line in the second paragraph.

"and because AT the Thor character art remains in Marvel's gallery"

@Glitch W

You might want to re-read your first sentence.

"I really like these ADDITIONS to the lineup."

@postpwn
I felt that one.

You cold, bro.

@postpwn

Oh, thanks. I knew I should have read over that comment. Oh well.

That wasn't meant to be a snarky correction, I was just trying to point out the typo so it could be fixed.

Nice Thor and Amaterasu would be some nice combos, I hope they put in megaman x and Vergil from dmc 3 and protoman.

If you look closely, you can see a health bar for Captain America as well.

@mentalpatient

Captain America has always been in

did NOT see those two coming 0_o. pretty rad, though! cant effin' wait for this game!

Well, I've found my character! Ammy here I come :)

@Gizoku Nothing wrong with playing something a bit canine... I think I'll be playing Ammy as well.

Huzzah! I cant wait to play as Amy!

So wow it shouldn't be too crazy to think they'd throw in X (Not Mega Man, but X) and maybe Zero from Mega Man Zero

@216 Well, Zero was in Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, so yeah he has a good chance of showing up here, I'd say. Not sure about X though.

I'm quite sick of Mega Man Legends characters (tron Bonne in MvC2 and Mega Man Volnutt in Tatsunoko). Original Mega Man is also overused at this point.

Mega Man X is now the neglected child of the MM family, but he is still my favorite. He needs to come out in MvC3.

Come on Capcom... his alt costumes are ALREADY there! He has 8 different X suits, so you can assign one for each button.

@Elranzer Am I wrong for wanting the Battle Network games to get some representation? Put in Megaman.exe, and I'll be a happy customer. And Bass, if we have to have someone from Megaman classic.

@MowDownJoe

Actually, now that you mention it, Megaman.exe works surprisingly well. Canon, Minibomb, Sword... it all fits!

...now I'll be hoping for this until the game comes out. THANKS A LOT.

By Odin's beard!!

@Temidien

Great Odin's raven!

@Temidien

The human torch was denied a bank loan.

I'm happy to see Ammy being included in a new Capcom game (even if it is a fighter), but does anyone think its swipe at Clover?

2006:
Capcom: "Your games didn't reach project profits, so we are firing you."
Clover: "What?!? People love our games!"
Capcom: "Doesn't matter, didn't make enough money"

Few years later
"Wow, people actually like this game. Since we legally own these characters that we didn't create, lets use it to make us more money!!"

If you haven't noticed, I hate Capcom for closing Clover Studios. They made some of the most original games of the last decade IMO. Sucks they will never see a dime from this. If they throw in Gene ends up in this game, Capcom will have officially profited from all the ideas/characters created by Clover and that is just wrong.

And yes, I will be buying this day one.......

@GumbyX I feel your pain.

Maybe Okamiden would've been on PS2 or PS3 as well.

/sigh

@GumbyX I agree with you, Clover being shut down sucked, but Capcom milking Clover's games is nothing new, they've been doing it with Viewtiful Joe for a while (all those DS games and he's in TvC too).

You forget by far their worst offense, removing all Clover credits from the Wii version of Okami.

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze
What's wrong with the DS? The only system with a stylus seems like an obvious fit for a game that involves using a celestial brush to draw.

@(Unverified)

There was nothing wrong with drawing on a PS2 in Okami, so while it would "make sense" to have a new okami game on the DS with the stylus, it would work just as well on any other system in addition to the DS.

@Dance Love Pop I actually forgot about that. Didn't buy Okami Wii as I have the original. After news they did that came out, I was happy I didn't buy it to "support the game".

@Gizoku ... and by "all those DS games", you mean the "one" that was developed by Clover?

Thorites, rejoyce, for your God has come.

(Really obscure comic references FTW!)

is issun joining her?

Thor! Odin's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Your destiny awaits

Best comment from Siliconera by a man named "Jaxx-Leviathan":

"I dig Thor, even though Marvel's Thor is a tad too heroic and has way too much emphasis on Mjölnir. I think Henning Kure's Valhalla-comics version of the red-headed, prideful god with violent mood-swings are the version resembling the sagas the best. "

He's got us there.

Ammy's in?! YAY!

PleasepleasepleaseCapcom, give us Clover fans some more love and add Viewtiful Joe, and if you do I will love you forever always.

@Tre Dude, check out

The only love I want Capcom to show Clover fans is for them to flip a switch that makes their closing of Clover a figment of our imagination.

@thisredengine

My face is that of the Cheshire Cat's right about now.

@Dance Love Pop

If only. *tears up*

At least we do have Platinum though.

Thor - Great.
Amaterasu - Way out of place. WTF? Two legs good, four legs bad.

@Misanthropic Gamer Racism against four legged creatures. i thought we were past things this in 2010.

@Misanthropic Gamer

WTF'ing @ Ammy because she has four legs, huh?

Next we need Miles Edgeworth to appear. Phoenix Wright can also appear if he wants, but he will just be pummeled by Edgeworth's logic.

@Elranzer

Phoenix: "OBJECTION!"

How about a little Sir Arthur, Red Arremer, or Maximo next? Pretty please?

Demitri Maximoff would also be cake.

THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRR!!!!! FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

Oh, and Ammy's awesome too :-) But now I can FINALLY make an Avengers team composed of Cap, Thor and Iron man. AAwesomesauce!

funny that so many peoples knowledge of the sun goddess comes from a video game.

Were you trying to be snobbish?

I think it's absolutely fantastic personally. This video game has encouraged intellectual pursuit. It's something to be praised, not looked down upon. I knew practically nothing about Shinto when I played Okami, and only had the desire to study it after playing.

So kudos to Clover for actually making a video game that inspires learning.

Thanks for reading my tip Joystiq.

That's some hot god vs god action.

I don't even like fighting games- but having Amaterasu is enough to make me check it out.

rar, hooray for Ammy >w
