Make Your Favorite Retro Characters Fight Each Other In Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite

PlayStation
<div><p>Beginning with <em>X-Men Vs. Street Fighter</em> in 1996 and soon going on to encompass both Marvel and Capcom's franchises, <em>Marvel Vs. Capcom</em> has been a favorite franchise among fighting game lovers for years now. Last seen with 2011's <em>Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds,</em> the franchise is making a comeback this year with <em>Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite</em>.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/06/maxresdefault-15.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Marvel</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p></p><div align="center" data-freestar-ad="__336x280 __789x280" id="throwbacks_articles_incontent _1"> </div><p></p><p>What's so cool about this franchise is that it lets you pit teams of retro gaming icons like Mega Man, Ryu from <em>Street Fighter,</em> and Arthur from <em>Ghosts N' Goblins,</em> against iconic Marvel mainstays like Spider-Man, Hulk, and Wolverine.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/06/marvel-vs-capcom_marquee-1.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Reddit</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p></p><p>Shown off in a major way at Sony's PlayStation E3 conference, it was revealed that this new entry in the series is going to have a fully fleshed-out story mode! In what can only be described as a comic book storyline on steroids, a team of superheroes and video game characters have to team up with the mad titan Thanos to stop the combined form of Ultron (last seen in <em>Avengers: Age of Ultron</em>) and Sigma (the antagonist of the <em>Mega Man X</em> series), Ultron Sigma, from enslaving the now-fused worlds of both franchises.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/06/C-RDK_YVYAAV0nT.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center">He is pretty serious guys.<cite>Twitter</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p></p><div align="center" data-freestar-ad="__336x280 __789x280" id="throwbacks_articles_video"> </div><p></p><p>While the story looks interesting and ridiculous in that comic-book style we all love, the question being asked by fans remains the same as ever: what new (old) characters can we expect to see duking it out? A few have already been announced, with the Marvel side getting Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Gamora (which I'm sure has nothing to do with the upcoming/current movies featuring these characters), while Capcom's brought in Mega Man X, the only version of Mega Man to not appear in the franchise yet.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/06/marvel_vs_capcom_infinite-3-1.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>VG 247</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><em>Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite</em> is due out on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on September 19, 2017.</p><p><strong>What characters would you all like to see appear in the game? I'd personally really like to see The Winter Soldier duke it out with Viewtiful Joe.</strong></p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/06/Untitled-design--10-.png" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center">Make it happen guys!</figcaption></figure></div><h3>Like other retro-style new games?
