Catch Some Viewtiful New Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Footage

Henshin-a-go-go, baby! It's time to watch Marvel vs. Capcom 3's Viewtiful Joe in action.


Earlier this week, we learned that two more fighters would be joining the star-studded roster of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/102869-Viewtiful-Joe-and-Dormammu-Enter-the-Ring-in-Marvel-vs-Capcom-3]: Starstruck action hero Viewtiful Joe and slightly obscure Marvel demon Dormammamumufu (or something like that).

In case you wanted to see what Joe and Dormammu look like in action, here are their respective Gamescom gameplay trailers. Having never read anything with Dormammu in it in my life, I can't say whether or not he's particularly faithful to his comic-book character. Joe, on the other hand, seems to have his usual tricks like the Voomerang, the V-Bombs, and of course the Six Machine (which turns into a giant cannon this time around).

I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed in Joe's appearance. Sure, he might look kind of out of place with the general visual style of the game, but he just doesn't look the same without the big black comic-book outlines, does he? Given that it's a crossover fighter with comic-book characters, maybe they should have made the whole thing look like Viewtiful Joe instead.

That would have been great.

So Viewtiful Joe is basically the same as his TvC version? at least from what I can tell..

Dormammu looks neat though.

The more I see of this game the more underwhelmed I am by it, maybe its because I haven't seen Hayato or Dante in action yet, also I'm possibly bitter that obviously Tatsunoko's Ken the Eagle isn't in the game.

Sorry Mr Funk but Dormammu is actually a Marvel character, not a Capcom character.

Edit: having watched the vids a second time, doesn't Dormammu's fighting style look like Magneto's with some seriously hot (hurhur) moves, I'm calling it, he's a top tier character.

Actually...he looks like in MvC3, he's easier to play. And his six-machine of blast is fast. Damn...I'm not liking him

Still waiting and hoping that the next character revealed is Phoenix Wright.


Capcom, make it happen. If you can.

If not, then Nintendo, for the next Super Smash Bros. you know what to do.

Viewtiful Joe! I'm so excited!
I swear, they better do him right. And by that I mean they need to make him overpowered as hell.

I thought EBA were Nintendo characters. I love Viewtiful Joe's fight video. Don't care much about Dormammu since I don't know much about him.

Yeah they are, I'm just hoping too much...

But still, there's always Super Smash Bros.

You have no idea how many of my fanboy dreams are being fulfilled by watching Viewtiful Joe fight Deadpool with a Spider-Man balloon in the background. And I love hearing Joe's main theme again. TvC was kinda lacking with that.
