Just 9 months since the original Marvel vs Capcom 3's release and Capcom have deemed it necessary to bring out a more “ultimate” edition. Should we be surprised? Probably not, but is it worth it?
![Read our review of Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 Review [XBox 360]](http://whatculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/read-review.png)
The ULTIMATE heroes from the Marvel and Capcom universes collide again in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Every epic character from the original blockbuster returns to the fray alongside 12 new fighters, 8 over-the-top new stages and enhanced gameplay.
At a stand-alone discounted retail price, players can pick up the updated version of the game, with new aesthetics and characters, as well as a whole new game mode – “Heroes and Heralds” which is a new team-based mode that allows players to earn new abilities with upgrade cards, customize their characters with new powers, and compete in groups as either the Heroes defending Earth or as one of Galactus’ Heralds.
The twelve new characters read as follows – for Marvel: Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, Hawkeye, Iron Fist, Nova and Rocket Raccoon and for Capcom: Firebrand, Frank West, Nemesis T-Type, Phoenix Wright, Strider Hiryu and Vergil.
Unleash your ULTIMATE.
