Fight fans will soon be in for a retro treat as Capcom have announced that combat classic Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 is set to be released on iOS on 25th April. Boasting a robust 56-character roster, including franchise favourites Wolverine, Ryu, Iron Man and Mega Man, the game will give players the opportunity to pit their favourite characters from the Marvel and Capcom universes against each other once more in one of the most enduringly popular fight games ever released. As with the original release way back in 2000, and a number of copycat games since, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 for iOS will include the €œVariable System€, which allows players to tag in other team members at any time. This system, which was specifically designed for the game's first release is also key to the execution of the most powerful attack, the Team Hyper Combo, where all three members of the player's team use their ultimate powers in combination. Here's the official details of the game from Capcom:
Marvel VS Capcom 2 features the biggest roster of challengers to ever square off in a Capcom fighting game, a total of 56 combined brawlers from both the Capcom and Marvel universes. From the world of Capcom comes characters such as Ryu from the Street Fighter series, Jill Valentine from the Resident Evil® games and unofficial company mascot Mega Man. Marvel is represented by some of its biggest names, including the Invincible Iron Man, Captain America, the Sentinel of Liberty, and War Machine, Weapon of S.H.I.E.L.D. Players can mix and match from both worlds in order to create their own ideal three man/woman/robot/monster team-up. Marvel VS Capcom 2 is designed to be a gateway for new players to experience the fun of fighting games while providing a deep system for hardcore fighting fans to dig into. Action is based around colourful, exaggerated attacks that include gigantic projectile attacks (such as Ryu€™s fireball or Dr. Doom€™s Plasma Beam) and high-flying aerial moves (like Spider-Man€™s Maximum Spider or Cammy€™s Killer Bee Attack).
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 for iOS will be released on 25th April.
