This game was released on November 18, 2011. It is no longer available for pre-ordering; you can buy it normally.
Capcom’s remake of the fairly well-received Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds brings eight new stages, balance improvements, and various interface and character tweaks. The game increases the total number of playable characters to 50, adding fighters like Strider and Phoenix Wright from Capcom, and Ghost Rider and Hawkeye from Marvel universes.
The online aspect of the game – something that a lot of MvC3 players found lacking – is also getting upgraded, including a new Spectator mode. The core gameplay mechanics remain the same, although there are some changes to the way aerial exchange and X-Factor work.
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 pre-order bonuses
Preorder Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 at one of the following retailers to get a costume pack for some of the game’s characters:
Amazon: New Age of Heroes Costume Pack which includes First Strider, Dr. Doom Doomwar, Classic X-Men Sentinel, and Mechanical Akuma.
Gamestop: Femme Fatale Costume Pack with Street Fighter Alpha Chun-Li, Morlock Storm, X-Men Evolution X-23, and Business Attire Morrigan.
BestBuy: Villains Costume Pack which gives you Elvis MODOK, STARS Wesker, agent suit Viper, and black costume Super-Skrull.
The game will be released on November 15th in North America (18th in Europe) and will cost you $40. Are the 12 new characters, 8 stages, and gameplay rebalance enough to justify the price tag? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Best Buy will also have a “villains pack” available. Featuring S.T.A.R.S. outfit Wesker, black costume Super-Skrull, Elvis M.O.D.O.K. and C. Viper in an agent suit with eye mask.
Thanks! Elvis MODOK is pretty awesome, haha.
The price is fine. All the content in UMvC3 would cost more if it was released separately as DLC. The probelm is, it makes the vanilla game obsolete. So it’s like I have to pay $60 + $40 just to have the complete game.
M.O.D.O.K. looks like Magnanamous from MegasXLR
Just buy King of Fighters 13 instead :)
