• Innovative graphics and gameplay bring the Marvel and Capcom Universes to life: Powered by an advanced version of MT Framework, the engine used in Resident Evil 5 and Lost Planet 2, now comes to Marvel vs. Capcom 3, bringing beautiful backgrounds and character animations to the forefront.
• Evolved VS. Fighting System: Wild over-the-top gameplay complete with signature aerial combos, hyper combos and other original systems. The evolved battle system takes the exciting mind-reading game to a whole new level!
• 3-on-3 Tag Team Fighting: Players build their own perfect team and use Assist Attacks and each character’s special moves to create their own unique fighting style.
• Living Comic Book Art Style: See the most adored characters from the Capcom and Marvel universes brought to life in a “moving comic” style, blurring the boundaries between 2D and 3D graphics.

 

While the second and third items are pretty much expected, the other two should pique your interest. The “boundaries between 2D and 3D graphics” might look something like the 2.5D used in Super Street Fighter IV, although the game shares an engine with two non-fighting titles.

 

The game’s official title is Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and is targeting a Spring 2011 release for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
