Retronauts Episode 651: Marvel vs Capcom

BERSERKER SHOWER: it's not just for hygiene anymore

Seven months ago, we outlined the creation and rise of the Capcom Marvel Universe, beginning with The Punisher in 1993 and continuing through Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter in 1997. Today we complete the saga by breaking down the capstone trilogy of that series, Marvel vs Capcom.

Host Diamond Feit teams up again with Kevin Bunch and John Learned to discuss what the two eponymous companies went through, which characters made the cut to appear on each dance card, and what kept players coming back to these titles for years after their initial release.

Description: With its recent re-release making the series available on all modern platforms, Diamond Feit, Kevin Bunch, and John Learned team up again to discuss the Marvel vs Capcom fighting franchise.
