Marvel vs. Capcom is a series of fighting games. This series is famous for its exclusive mixing of two giants of comic world. Marvel as we all know is the name behind some of the best known super heroes of the Modern times. Capcom is one of the largest video game developers and publishers. Some of Capcom’s famous creations include Devil May Cry, Street Fighter, Resident Evil e.t.c. So you can imagine the effect of battles between super heroes of two different genres. Upcoming title for the series, Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes will be the fourth and the final game of the series. Capcom simplified the engine used in the game in order to make game more accessible to casual players and to bring new players to the fanbase. Some of the changes are made in the gameplay, like air combo system is modified and the button configuration is now reduced to 4 main buttons and 2 assist buttons. For the first time in the series NAOMI system will used, which is mostly used for the 3-D games. Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes will be developed by different developers for different platforms. PlayStation 2 and Xbox version is developed by Capcom itself. More modified version for the seventh generation gaming platforms i.e. Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is under the development of Backbone Entertainment. The game will release on July 2, 2009.

It is clear that Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes will be different from the series, as it will have different button system and different 3-D system. One more difference is the ending of the game. It will be the first game of the series without character specific endings. Ending of the game will not be affected by the character you will use to play and how fast you end the game. The game will see Earth dying and the efforts of Ruby Hearts to save the earth. In order to save the earth Ruby Heart has to find the Source of evil, who is known as Abyss, the Armor of Erosion. She orders best heroes of her airship and find the Abyss. Later on Heroes come to know the source of power to Abyss is a black metal ball within the centre. In the end it is discovered that the sphere can be destroyed if given a massive crack in it. In the end Ruby is holding it in her hand and then throws it in the water, letting it sink to the bottom. However, one thing not cleared is that whether abyss will return or not. Heroes finally rejoice as they sail back off into the distance.

With some modifications basic parts of the game are same. Players select three players from the roster of Capcom and Marvel characters. Fight is one-on-one and continues until one of the team is left without any players. At least one combo is given to each player & each team will have a common super meter. At a minimum cost of one super meter each level character can perform their supper moves or super combos. Except the screen which is now wider, all the other controls are same as the previous games. One thing you should remember is that Marvel vs. Capcom derives it controls from Street Fighter games. Major difference in the controls of the game is that instead of three kick/punch attack strength, there are only two and the last two buttons are replaced by assist buttons. A weak attack can result in two different attacks. Second one being a medium attack. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will feature the ability to Force an opponent’s teammate into the fight with a move which is commonly known as “snapback.” To perform a snapback one requires a full super meter. Snapback will start and the player will flash for a moment and so normal attack which attack will knock out the opponent. All the characters from previous games of the series are included in the game with some new players also added. This great battle of Heroes is waiting for you. Get ready to take part ion the battle of the millennium.
