Deja Review: Marvel vs. Capcom Origins

We’re of the firm opinion that your time is too precious, too valuable to be spent reading a full review for a game that was already reviewed many, many years ago. What’s the point of applying a score to a game that’s old enough to be enrolled in the sixth grade? That’s why we invented Deja Review: A quick look at the new features and relative agelessness of remade, revived and re-released games. It’s a good time to be an old fogey as far as fighting games are concerned. Between HD remixes, XBLA/PSN re-releases and PSOne classics on PSN, it’s almost impossible not to be able to download whatever fighter wasted most of your youth.

Marvel vs. Capcom Origins reduces the number of unavailable oldies even further, containing enhanced ports of the original arcade versions of Marvel Super Heroes and Marvel vs. Capcom. While said enhancements are fairly pedestrian and expected (HD filters, online play, etc), Origins’ faithful recreation of the original subject matter alone makes the price of admission worth it. In fact, this is the first arcade-perfect console port of Marvel Super Heroes that’s ever existed.Gallery: Marvel vs Capcom OriginsContinue reading Deja Review: Marvel vs. Capcom OriginsDeja Review: Marvel vs. Capcom Origins originally appeared on Joystiq on Mon, 08 Oct 2012 16:00:00 EST.
