15 Greatest Video Game Crossovers Ever

3. Marvel Vs. Capcom

Taking the formula established by its predecessor and ramping everything up to 11, the Marvel Vs. Capcom series is a balls-to-the-wall celebration of everything relating to comic books and gaming alike. Huge character rosters featuring obscure and well-known characters in droves, three-member tag-team battles and epilepsy-causing, flashy special moves are all par for the course in MvC. The sheer amount of choice on offer in any instalment is quite frankly staggering, and you're likely to spend as much time mulling over your character choices than you will actually fighting people. Bigger may not always be better, but in Marvel Vs. Capcom's case it certainly is. Practically any team-up you could imagine is possible in this series. Aside from that though, it gives everyone the opportunity to discover some more obscure characters from both sides that you perhaps didn't know about. For instance, have you ever heard of Shuma-Gorath - the green, world-devouring blob who's only defining feature is a giant, gelatinous eye? Didn't think so.
