Yeah, that's my biggest problem with this game. Rather than support the original with DLC and patches (a lot of problems reviewers have had with the game is balancing issues and the fact that there's no spectator mode), they're just jumping straight to the re-release.
It's not all that surprising, given how frequently they'll doll up any incarnation of Street Fighter. Super Street Fighter II Turbo Ultramix or whatever, you know?
So, despite the fact that this game has Phoenix as a playable character, the ultimate (hurr) selling point will be the cost. I don't want to pay $60 for a game I already own with some new characters and levels...though I suspect I might have wound up paying that much in DLC anyway.
Soooo whatever.

From what I've read (just now via Google) it's being released at $39.99. Not sure what that'll translate to in my currency, but I'm not sure I'll bother, since the only new character there I care about is Phoenix. But then again, it's Phoenix.

*sees shitload new replies* What the hell's going on in here
Oh my lord Red Arremer, Strider, Phoenix Wright and some Marvel dude on a flaming bike??
So I didn't buy MvC3 because I actually blow at fighting games and I already bought SF4, twice, but damn I don't think I'll be able to ignore MvC3 cheaper extras edition
Phoenix better be sitting on that bench on wheels they joked about

I'm pretty sure the tiny dude in Hawkeye's Level 3 Hyper is Antman, unless there's another tiny Marvel character I am unaware of. Speaking of which, can anyone explain to me who the crap that raccoon guy is?

Very cool! Dr. Strange and Ghost Rider are good choices... Hawkeye looks interesting with that move involving Ant-Man (I wonder if any of his other moves involve the other unplayable Avengers). I never saw Rocket Raccoon coming. I didn't even know he existed till today. I had to look him up on ComicVine to get an idea of who he is. It is too bad that Mega Man still isn't in the game. That would have made Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 a bit more solid but... oh, well! The game still looks pretty awesome even though the idea of Phoenix Wright being playable is... a bit lame. All he does is point fingers and yell "Objection!". Anyway, I like the addition of Firebrand from Ghosts 'n Goblins and Gargoyle's Quest. Good thing I didn't waste my money on the first Marvel vs. Capcom 3. I had a feeling Capcom was gonna pull a Super Street Fighter IV sooner or later. ;D

Here's my feelings about this, a la editorial. A bit long, but I do feel better now after writing it. You know, I’m a pretty easy-going guy. Hell, I suppose for that a game I love, putting out money for it three times is okay. I did for you once, Capcom, for Resident Evil 4. Gamecube version, played the hell out of it. PS2 version, felt it was merely so-so and sold it. Bought it to play the Ada part…which, luckily for me, the Wii version has, and I happily still own it and consider it definitive. With the HD port on the horizon, I’ve managed to convince myself to not make a fourth plunge, because I’ve already paid for it enough times and the Wii controls feel perfect to me…and HD graphics do not sell me games. Disclaimer - I did buy Beyond Good & Evil HD, but that was more to support it and its eventual sequel seeing the light over having a HD version of a game I already own. RE4 did just fine in sales the first three times – BG&E did not at all (well, I don’t have the HD sales numbers in front of me, but I’m sure they didn’t reach RE4 levels of success). However, Capcom, I do have to say that your behavior this week has been terrible. For starters, you kill off Mega Man Legends 3 before the fans even have a chance to pay for a damned demo, which was a pretty lousy thing to do, but I do realize you’re a business and perhaps the 3DS is lagging more than expected, so it does make sense to cancel a project that may not succeed. Unfortunately, you turned MML3 into a fan-supported affair, which made them much more personally invested into its creation, and did not give them a chance to see for themselves what they were a part of in game form. I know gamers who bought 3DS’s to play the demo, not just buy the finished game. I think a lot of gamers cynical of your transition into more western-style games and the DLC/DRM focus with your products considered MML3 a last bastion of hope…a fleeting reminder of the Capcom they once knew. And with a simple late-shift post about a cancellation, dreams were shattered and bridges were burned. By letting gamers CARE about a game prior to allowing it to either silently die or be greenlit into a full-on game, you probably bit yourself in the ass. But the best part is about to come. Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 came out in February 2011. Following its release the on-disc DLC (save a few moves for both Jill and Shuma), a sole costume pack and a middling Shadow and Event DLC stream that petered out signaled something was brewing. E3 came and went without a peep about the game, which seemed strange. And then, today, at Comic-Con, you unveil a whole new game in the series, with a ton of new content that apparently can not be DLC. You do this in July 2011. FIVE MONTHS after you released the original game. Not even Resident Evil 4′s PS2 rev came out of the gates that fast. So now all of the people who bought the first game feel stupid, wondering why they even did such a thing, when you’ve been programming its successor (and the game you should have originally released!) since you shoved the original out the door? What a slap in the face. And what really sucks is that I have some excitement about it. I want to have Strider in the game. I admit to smiling on seeing him return. Firebrand is awesome looking, too, and using the Gargoyle’s Quest/Demon’s Crest name? Nice retro tip, there. But there’s the principle of just getting screwed over that is overpowering the coolness of the additions to the cast. I did admit to buying RE4 three times above, so why is this bothering me so much? Well, as I said, I loved RE4, and the PS2 rev I got cheaply to try to play the Separate Ways addition (didn’t get that far, as the graphical drop/glitch increase made the game unplayable for me), and the Wii one I received as a Christmas gift (so I didn’t really buy it ). But I LOVE RE4. It’s my third favorite game. It’s the game Grace and I bonded with during our dating phase of our relationship. And it’s a damn good game. Marvel Vs. Capcom has been a favorite franchise of mine, but it’s no RE4. None of them are even in my favorite game list. I just like competing against the CPU and friends, and keeping my fighting skills from rusting. I have a lot of good memories with the series. That being said, this “sequel” is so quick in making its debut I feel that it should have been the original release. It’s clear that Capcom intended this to happen by the sheer speed they announced it. Five months gave Capcom time to develop more characters and stages, and to, I suppose, test the waters to see if they could pull off such a stunt. And they feel that they can. While nowhere near as fast, they have rehashed Street Fighter IV three times in the last four years. It’s unsurprising…but disappointing that they’ve pulled off one hell of a trolling on their fanbase in the last three days with this and the aborting of Mega Man Legends 3. I, for one, will not be riding the ULTIMATE train…at least, not the way Capcom wants me too. I like MvC3 quite a bit, but I refuse to shell out another $40 to them to get the game I believe I should have received the first time. If it only takes another ten months to add 12 characters, 8 stages, new modes and improve the online experience, they should have skipped the February release and just aimed for November. To that end, I will likely pick up the game down the road used or trade someone for it. I just can’t justify spending money on this game twice to a publisher this determined to piss on their fanbase. This is not worth $112.50 to me (I got the DLC at a reduced rate thanks to a gift card). I’m debating if the initial $62.50 is now. That’s not quite the reaction you wanted, I’m sure, Capcom, but that’s what you’ve gotten. Note - Grace is my wife, FYI.

Aside from still not getting Daredevil, this is ten shades of awesome. Especially Rocket Raccoon. I can only hope one of his supers involves his stories tall sentient tree friend Groot.

It's the previous game in the series again. I think the effect this announcement has had on me is that I'm going to be much more wary of spending my money on Capcom games in the future. Why should I bother buying Ultimate Marvel VS. Capcom 3 when, six months from now, they could announce Super Ultimate Marvel VS. Capcom 3, leaving me with an inferior product again? It's even worse knowing that this improved version of the game is going to cost less than my inferior one did.

I don't disagree with you, kirbychu - it's an upgrade to the first one, which should have been what came out. Capcom's trying to market this as a new title, though, which is what I was saying there. Perhaps I made that a little unclear - I did write it a little late for me. XD
