A Letter From a Gamer to Capcom (Part 3)




Part 2 is Here


Of course, Survival, Time Attack, Arcade, Training, Wi-fi Battle, Vs, and even Extra Game should all come back. Extra Game NEEDS a boost. Bringing that one game back, this sequel can introduce 5 more games to add to it for more variety. Maybe a race-like game, Megaman’s Target Practice, and a few others. One of them can include a watered-down demo version of Tatsunoko Fight that has a number of characters (less than the original game) and allows you to just do 5 fights but when you win all 5, you get Neon (as explained above). These extra games can be ‘bought’ with the same currency from the last game. Saving teams would be nice. Bosses can include a team of Buraiking Boss (Neo-Human Casshern), Sigma (Megaman X series), and Omega (Uchu no Kishi Tekkaman Blade).

Speaking of bought, that’s exactly what can be brought back from the previous game. Buying alternate costumes, extra games, icons (for wi-fi), and even character biographes obtained from beating arcade mode from specific characters. Gives the players things to go after; especially dark and light costumes for every character. Since the Wii U has 8 buttons to rotate through costumes, it’s easy to pull many costumes off.

Now, as for the actual gameplay itself, other than 3-on-3, nothing else from the fighting portion of gameplay should change. Baroque should come back, alternating hyper combos in the middle of others, team aerial combos, keeping the Japanese dub, Mega Crash, etc. As for the giant characters, with 3-on-3, what you guys can do is boost the amount of health that each character has to last long enough to not be IMPOSSIBLE to defeat but be challenging. Remember, as explained, Goliath would have a little more but with chopped down power. The levels would go from 1-4 before Maximizing at 5 like the previous game as well.

Why this game for the Wii U? Well, updated graphics (1080p HD), MUCH better wi-fi system, more data, and imagine this with the new tablets. Picture this, you’re playing the game against a friend of yours and your roommate pops in and says, “hey, there’s a great baseball game on that I would love to watch.” No problem. You pause the game and swipe the touch screen toward the television so that a screen showing who’s facing who with their health bars and level meters will appear on the television and the fight is now on the 2 tablets of you and your friend. Continue the fight there, roommate watches TV, everyone is happy! As well, the touch screen can be used in correspondence with the Extra Games and maybe (like Street Fighter 4 for the 3DS) have preset attacks that can be launched from the touch screen. All these features from the Wii U can benefit this game entirely and can add a lot of fun to the game that can be outside of fighting.

Now, am I going to let the PS3 and Xbox 360 users that only have Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 suffer looking at a potential game like this soar into the homes of Nintendo gamers? Not at all. This is up to you guys but you guys said that you WERE intending on having downloadable characters later on down the road, so what better for everyone than to release a bunch of new characters for UMvC3 owners so that they won’t feel left out? At least 5 from Marvel and 5 from Capcom would be enough. All one has to do is flip over the page of the book of characters to find the DLCs in a different section. Marvel Characters can include: Venom, Silver Samurai, Mister Fantastic, Gambit, and Falcon. As for Capcom characters, it can include Megaman (classic or Volnutt; if you decide to keep Volnutt for TvC2, then X would be most preferable), Ryu (Breath of Fire), Ruby Heart, Jet Black (Viewtiful Joe), and Sonson. These are just examples but they could be potential wants into UMvC3.

In conclusion, this is NOT me telling that you guys are under the water and NEED this to survive. I am a fan but if you guys do this, it would be incredible. I would buy the game in a heartbeat and even buy UMvC3 to go with my new PS3. The original Tatsunoko vs. Capcom had a lot of praise from many critics even here in America. It didn’t sell as well in America as you guys may have anticipated but, remember, you’re dealing with an audience that does not know half of the characters in the game. Many people started loving the Tatsunoko characters after playing this game so this sequel can add a better shot of selling a lot since many players now know who these guys are. Pull off the presentations on Youtube as you did for UMvC3, and this game will sell much more than the original did. Thanks for reading and thinking about it. As I said earlier, I’ve been a fan of you guys for years so I wish you guys the absolute best in your productions for the future.





Sincerely,
Michael Malespin
Just a fan; nothing more
