Capcom producer, Shuhei Matsumoto, has shared his desire to develop a new entry in the beloved Marvel vs. Capcom series, expressing that it’s up to the fans’ support to bring this wish into reality.
In an interview, Matsumoto highlighted how fan enthusiasm is crucial for such projects and emphasized that collaboration between Capcom and Marvel can shape a promising future for the franchise. The recent release of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, which includes seven classic titles from the series, is seen as a pivotal step in gauging interest and ensuring potential success.
The Power of Fan Support: Matsumoto believes that continued support from fans plays an instrumental role in realizing their vision. His words underscore how fan engagement can influence decision-making within game development, making the journey to creating a new Marvel vs. Capcom game not just about sales projections but also a collaborative effort driven by community passion.
What’s your favourite instance of fans influencing the direction of a franchise?
Oh fuck off with this shit Capcom. I hope no one has forgotten where all the fan support for Megaman Legends 3 got us.
Bastards couldn’t even be assed to release the already finished 3DS demo (which we know was in a decently playable state from videos they released).
Beyond my Megaman saltiness, I have a very hard time believing that fucking Marvel needs fan support to prove profitability. You just need to not make some bullshit microtransaction filled live service game like the ones that are repeatedly failing.
