It Came From Capcom: Marvel vs. Capcom


(Kenneth Melendez contributed to this article)

Let's go crazy!

Those are the three words the announcer yells as you enter the title screen of Marvel vs. Capcom. This is the game that started the ultimate crossover between worlds. 

Heroes and villains from the Capcom universe and the Marvel universe face off in this fast-paced fighting game.

Professor Charles Xavier from the X-Men has called out heroes to stop the infamous Onslaught. Team up with anyone from the Capcom side or Marvel in order to save the world from utter destruction.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes was released in the late 90s on the arcades, then ported on the Sega Dreamcast and the Sony Playstation consoles.
