Capcom-Unity.com translated the latest post from the Japanese Marvel vs. Capcom 3 blog explaining what attendees and fans can expect to see of the title at this year's E3, June 15 - 17.
Hello everyone. This is Kadowaki checking in.
It's been a while since we've been able to give you guys any new information. So I'm happy to report that as we've finished one stage of our preparations, we're getting ready to move onto the next step.
The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is kicking off next week, and we're planning on showing off Marvel Vs Capcom 3 in a big way!
Even though E3 is a huge event, not everybody will be able to go to it. So I'd like to tell you here about some of what we're preparing for the event. When E3 gets underway these things will be released here and there, so be sure to check everything off this list as you come across it! Everything we're going to show off at E3 will be brand new content!
1. Promotional Video
What you've all been waiting for! I hope you will get an appreciation for our dedication to the game when you watch it.
2. Promotional Video Preview
This will be released in the very near future. [Editor's note: This is out now.]
3. 5 Gameplay Videos + ???
We went all out with the characters that will be revealed at E3. The "+ ???" is something we've put together exclusively for our Japanese fans (you'll know why when you see it...).
4. Character Artwork
Of course we'll have artwork for the newly revealed characters. I wonder how many that will be...?
5. Artwork from Shinkiro
Well-known artist Shinkiro (Capcom Vs SNK 2, Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Cross Generation of Heroes, etc) has provided some great new illustrations. He came through for us even though we didn't give him a whole lot of prior notice. You can expect his usual high quality. The artwork will be appearing in various locations around E3.
And finally, we will have a playable version of Marvel Vs Capcom 3 at E3! We wanted to give you a chance to get in some playtime as soon as possible.
Looks like many people have enjoyed trying to figure out just who those shadowy silhouettes are at the beginning of the first promotional video. Has the time come to reveal all the answers? Hmm....
Only a few more days until E3. The wait is almost over!
Definitely looking forward to the gameplay vids...if it's anything like or superior to TvC I will certainly be impressed...
Man... Kinda hoping the japanese only thing is the revelation of Stan Lee's Heroman as a playable, that would be pretty neat, he's got a look and set of abilities suited for versus. A slim chance but here's hoping (because they don't have Heroman rights here in the states yet).
New characters look great so far, but I'm still hoping for Gene from Godhand.
cool
