As the November release date for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 draws nearer, Capcom’s decision to develop and release an entirely new game rather than add the additional characters, stages, modes, and gameplay tweaks as a DLC update to Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds remains a controversial decision.
