On Capcom Europe's website, an art contest was announced with a terrific prize, but another bit jumped out as well. Here's the blurb:
Capcom UK will select the best piece of artwork and the winning entry will receive either a PS3 or Xbox 360, a copy of Marvel Vs Capcom 3, a framed print of their winning entry and could have their entry featured in the art book to be released with the special edition of Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate Of Two Worlds!
It looks like Capcom Europe confirmed a special, or collector's edition, of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 with their announcement today.
This is something Capcom has talked about doing on a number of occasions, but it sounds like plans are much more concrete now. Details beyond what this edition will offer, besides the art book, of course aren't available, but it's nice to see that fans who want to purchase something more with their game will be able to do so, at least in Europe.
Thanks to Zonic for pointing this out.
Hope this is as good as the SSFIV special editi--
oh wait. D:
how about a pre order gives us a demo =) that would be cool.
"6. Eligibility: No specific entry qualification is required, but the prize winners will be chosen among the applicants within UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Australia. Applicant under 18 is eligible to enter this competition only when his/her parent or legal guardian permits and approves. Capcom reserves the right to request evidence of age and residence."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I am not from UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain nor Australia (I am not even European)... and I was really looking forward for a contest like this D:
@ Herlock
I can kinda read the names. I think they say:
For Capcom, Megaman, Zero, Haggar, Frank West, Strider, Viper, Bison, and Red Arremer (some character from Gargoyle's Quest in the GnG series).
For Marvel, She Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Venom, Spider-Women, Strom, Thanos, Shuma-Gorath (I think, 90% sure), and Howard the Duck... wait, Howard the Duck? WTF?

something i did quick, its half way donde because im from chile so i wont work so much for something i cant win xD
Sweet i hope that special edition mvc3 comes to the U.S.so i can pick it up.@juanrock,nice artwork keep up the good work.
@JonnJohnson,so is that the final MvC3 roster list?i actually like it.There putting in Shuma Gorath,Venom,Howard the Duck,Megaman,Zero,and Strider!?.Awesome:).But no Capcomando or Nightcrawler:(.If this was the final roster list Im more than happy.
Awesome! Yeah it does such how they put these stupid region restrictions when it comes to such competitions. I mean wtf?
Still, i am SUPER psyched that there will be a special edition of the game (not that i am surprised!) and that it will include an art book! Give it a game cover worth putting on my wall, a full soundtrack and a good, quality package and i am sold!
@Herlock I hope they don't put Howard the Duck and Spider-Woman in. I hope it is some kind of joke, because they could do much better, especially with the female reiterations of male characters.
Yes, this is very pleasing news. It's too bad I suck at art, I'd love to participate in this.
