The time to go crazy is coming near, as Marvel vs. Capcom Origins  will be arriving this September – on September 25 for PSN and on the 26th for XBLA. In addition to the release date of the Marvel Super Heroes  and Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes  compilation, a more in-depth feature list for the digital release has been revealed:

  • VARIETY OF GAMEPLAY: Offers both the one-on-one gameplay of Marvel Super Heroes  with its unique Infinity Gem system and the two-on-two carnage of the original Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, featuring a tag system, assists, and the wild Duo Team Attack
  • ONLINE PLAY: GGPO-netcode enabled play with adjustable settings allows for smooth online matches
  • SPECTATOR MODE: Fighters battling to be on top can check out and discuss the competition while waiting their turn to upset the current winner
  • HD GRAPHICAL OPTIONS: Tailor the look of the game with customizable graphical upgrades, including smooth widescreen for a more contemporary feel. Or, travel back to the ‘90s with a variety of arcade cabinet mode options, such as an old school over-the-shoulder view
  • DYNAMIC CHALLENGES AND UNLOCKABLE VAULT: Players can test their skills while fighting others by accomplishing challenges which unlock achievements and earn points. The points can be traded in to unlock new content such as artwork, movies, and hidden characters
  • REPLAY SAVING: Players can re-live their matches through local replay saving

The unlockable vault is rather interesting, as it seems apparent that players will be able to unlock the hidden characters in Marvel vs. Capcom  such as Red Venom, Lilith and Mecha Zangief. While that is certainly a handy alternative than inputting the rather complicated button sequences to unlock them manually each time you play, does this mean that we may also be able to unlock Onslaught for play? How about the boss characters in Marvel Super Heroes, Doctor Doom and Thanos – perhaps even the little-known hidden character Anita (from Darkstalkers  fame)?

My gaming ventures began on the Atari 2600, with my exposure going to pretty much all the consoles out there, even the not-so-memorable ones (3DO, CD-i, Jaguar, game.com...I'm looking at you!), though I would trade these memories for the world, as gaming has always been a significant part of my life. Now, I report the news and goings-on in the cast gaming industry in the hopes that you, our fellow readers, will enjoy our little quips as we go on this constantly-changing journey together!
