Footage has surfaced online of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 running on what appears to be a Nintendo Switch console.
The video shows the fighting title running on Switch - complete with the correct button prompts - and even shows the game's icon at the end, when whoever is recording the footage exits to the home menu.
Capcom has supported the console with Ultra Street Fighter II, and is soon to release a collection of Street Fighter games to mark the 30th anniversary of the series, so it's fair to say that it sees Switch as a viable platform when it comes to brawlers.
Given the entirely unverified nature of the video, it's hard to say if this is genuine or not; if it is indeed a fake, then it's a remarkably polished one - but the tools available to fakers are so advanced these days that it's almost impossible to say.
Let us know what you think of the video - and its legitimacy - by posting a comment below.

I want SF Alpha 3 & 3rd Strike.
Gimme !
Btw, i stopped watching the video above when i realized something "mature" from that game.
Something that definetely told me that there will be some characters from the games that i BANNED.
No, it isn't. At the Switch menu, the title of the game is too far to the left, as /u/tbritoamorim on Reddit said.
As much as I'd love this to be true after Infinite flopped, I can't see the MvC franchise coming back for some time.
This news is a few days old. If it's fake, it's a convincing one. Though I did point out in the forums that there may be a mistake in the video, watch it at 5 seconds, then at 18 seconds, the buttons in the highlighted option have changed.
@Marxally Yeah this seems to be a title that would scroll. But there's a good second where it's at a stand still.
I hope it is true. I think I would be disappointed if the Switch got Infinite instead of Ultimate 3.
Could be running on that Rainway app.
Starting at 24 sec if you follow the plus button you can see a black border around it as it passes through the blue.
FAKE NEWS
Switch Menu is totally wrong. It has a green power bar on top right, the text of the game is too big and too far left, the menu icon at the bottom (noticeably the setting) is too thickly lined.
It is easy to notice if you put your Switch in Black theme and then pause this video on the last second of the video and you will see all the flaws.
I'm going to say no. First we have to ask who would have access to play the game, and also be able to film it and get it up onto YouTube?
Seems very unlikely, but with Infinite being so awful I would jump at the chance to have this on Switch! It works beautifully on Vita and would be perfect. Please Capcom!!
Maybe this is the Rainway app at work?
Personally would much rather Capcom got a few Resi games (5-7 trilogy please!) running on switch.
Wish this were true. It would make sense to put it on Switch for a potential second chance at life. I'd buy it, even though I have it on Vita. I'd REALLY love to have the first two as well. Capcom is starting to change my opinion of them regardless, as they announce more games for Switch. Having Street Fighter, Mega Man/X, and Resident Evil all on the go is just about all I could ever [cough] MONSTER HUNTER [COUGH] want from ol' Capcom.
@Anti-Matter What and where did you ban?.
Also you are getting them in the SF Collection coming next month or something.
I don't have a NS, so I can't say the legitimacy of the video. Somehow, I'd expect Capcom to make something download-only accessible, if it were true.
Seen this video four days ago. All I can say is the truth will always reveal itself. If this turns out to be true as an actual Switch game soon then I'd buy it.
Is it weird that I'd prefer this over a port of Infinite?
@Tedikuma You're not alone on that front, given how much of a trash fire Marvel Infinite is
I know MvC3 got its fair share of criticism but this would be a day 1 buy for me if it hits the Switch. Always loved this series and would be thrilled to have the freedom to take it with me on the go.
It's fake but UMvC3 seems likely to come anyways
@Tedikuma Not at all.
If anything, that shows you have great taste, just like your avatar hinted at.
I would much prefer Marvel vs Capcom 2.
Fraud Detection Warning!
Fraud Detection Warning!
I say fake for now but if Capcom ports UMarvel 3 I'm gonna flip. UGH I need to build a new arcade stick.
I mean come on...IT'S MARVEL BABY!
It could be fake but if it is it's a good fake. All of the Switch reference are in there accurately too including options for the A, B, L , & R buttons, even the + button (for reserve unit) is shown too. Only Nintendo Switch games tell you to press +. I hope it's true and if it sells well that we get Marvel vs. Capcom 1+2 collection someday for Switch too though I really want a Capcom vs. SNK 3 or a Tatsunoko vs. Capcom 2 (which probably will never happen again).
Give us Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 instead
Aww heck. You know what? Sod, it. I'm going with real because I want it to be
I'd rather have Origins released again, along with 2. Do that.
"Come on, Reggie, give us Mother 3!" - Some of the comments here made me think of that.
As much as I want it to be true, clearly, it is not.
And Capcom would be crazy to release MvC3 and not Infinite on the Switch first.
Why the hell would the release an old version before the new one that they barely got their money invested back?
I think it's legit. I mean, why not. The Switch can easily handle the game. It would makes sense and be a good game to have on the Switch. I'm still hoping for a remaster of the Lost Planet Trilogy.
@Prof_Yoshtonics would be great to have the lost planets alright. Would love an onimusha collection and it’s a shame that the devil may cry one is only coming to PS4 and Xbox one☹️
If it’s real, I’m in. Need a palate cleansing after that Infinite horror show.
If only this was real.....
This would be an epic move. Bring a AAA fighting game to Switch to stand beside the forthcoming Smash Switch, Tekken 7 (high possibility) and Soul Caliber (collections of 4 & 5).
@Steven_the_2nd
Remember, it said Marvel vs. Capcom.
That means, the characters from Capcom are not just from Street Fighter only.
I saw some Capcom characters that i quickly recognized from their looking, i knew who they are because some them are from Rated M Capcom games.
SF 30th Anniversary is different case.
It contained just Oldies SF from 1 - 3.
And i know who they are.
@Anti-Matter That's weak sauce bud. Why you gotta be banning super heroes? How's Spiderman to "mature" for you to handle but, you'll get down on some Street Fighter?
@Mr_Pepperami I agree completely. Onimusha would be awesome. I still don't see why we can't have DMC. It would be too much greatness for Capcom to handle. That's the only way I can explain it. Lol
@Anti-Matter Street Fighter 30th Anniversary collection comes with 12 games. Not three. This is from the official Nintendo site. https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/street-fighter-30th-anniversary-collection-switch
"This content-rich all-in-one package highlights the series' past in an anthology of 12 classic titles with arcade-perfect balancing including the original Street Fighter, Street Fighter II, Street Fighter II: Champion Edition, Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting, Super Street Fighter II, Super Street Fighter II: Turbo, Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter III, Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact and Street Fighter III: Third Strike."
So you are saying you will not play a Teen rated game because of the fact that it has M-Rated characters in it? You logic and reasoning at times really gives me a headache. I mean to each their own and wish you the best but really you need to expand your universe and not be so naive about things.
To be sure Deadpool is probably the most M-Rated character in MvC3.
My PS2 broke last week so I’ve picked up a backwards compatible PS3 for not much more.
Perhaps I won’t have to buy any (ridiculously cheap used) games for it if the best ones all come to Switch!
Probably fake, but I'd triple dip if priced correctly, just to be able to carry it around and play it with friends.
I'd prefer a port of Infinite though, because I haven't played it... also, because triple dip
Please, please, pretty please
@Anti-Matter so are you complaining that deadpool has a gun or the swords? But you are ok with the characters kicking and punching each other? Which violence is ok for you?
@Mr_Pepperami bayonetta is banned
Zelda is banned
Splatoon is banned
Smash is banned
Arms is banned
Mario and rabbids is banned
1-2 switch is good
@nab1 lol, I might be buying it for the 4th time if is real (counting MvC3 and UMvC3 on X360, UMvC3 on XOne).
I have Infinite and I like it a lot, but since this is a portable Mahvel hell yeah, I'll buy it again on Switch.
I'll gladly take this over Infinite. LOL!
Would be great if true but I'll stick with my Vita version until then.
I'd much prefer Tatsunoko vs Capcom, tbh...
I heard Marvel vs Tatsunoko vs Capcom vs SNK vs BlazBlu vs Tekken vs Guilty Gear vs Dragonball FighterZ vs Smash Bros vs Power Stone vs Killer Instinct will be released on Switch
@marnelljm Hadoken!
I would be ECSTATIC if this was true. I absolutely love UMvC3, and this would bring some new players to it.
Are there X-Men in it, still? Then I hope it's real so I can throw my money at it.
Oh geez I hope it's true! This is one of my dream games for switch.
@Anti-Matter Like who? Morrigan?
@MysteryCupofJoe I'd still take Infinite though lol. Only if it had all the dlc.
Ah, just would everybody is asking for. News articles with rumors that are likely to be faked.
Also NEWS JUST IN! My uncle who works at Nintendo just told me an F-Zero sequel has been confirmed for Switch 60FPS and online multiplayer. GET ON IT NINTENDOLIFE, UNLESS YOU DON'T WANT CLICKS?
@Steven_the_2nd
Dude, i'm fan of Street Fighter II, Alpha 3 & 3rd Strike.
I got inspired from their gameplay mechanism.
That's why i play ARMS too.
Beside, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Switch version will be my NEXT purchase.
Oh, i forgot to mention about SF 1 - 3 , because i didn't really remember how many SF II on SNES. Also, i forgot to type Alpha series. My bad...
Oh, about characters that i banned, i was talking about Marvel vs Capcom 3, not about Street Fighter 30th Anniversary.
I'm Okay with SF 30th because it has SF 1, All SF 2, SF Alpha series and SF 3 series. I know those games and characters inside.
But for MvC 3, i saw the characters from rated M Capcom games as playable characters. I said, NO Thanks. I don't even want to like any of them. When i said i hate rated M games, i hate ALL the contents inside, including ALL the characters from that rated M games.
"To be sure Deadpool is probably the most M-Rated character in MvC3."
Dang it ! I knew it has that #### character !
@Kienda
Not necessarily. If the Switch is charging, the battery icon will be green. If it's fully charged, it'll turn white. The video shows the system being fully charged
@Mr_Pepperami
"Which violence is ok for you?"
As long it still rated E10+ (ARMS, Pokken) & Teen (Street Fighter, KOF, Tekken, Naruto, Dragon Ball, etc) , i'm okay with that Violence level. The other factor is also considered.
If i saw "Mild Blood" from any games, i still allowed as long the intensity is not frequent. The games with Mild Blood that i allowed are Final Fantasy 3 NDS, Street Fighter series, Final Fantasy XII, etc.
But, i do NOT Tolerate "Blood" from any games, even from Teen games. That blood intensity level is not tolerable for me to watch, especially when it added with another contents like Strong Violence / Gore ( Instant 100 % BANNED).
For fighting sports, i like K-1 series from Japan rather than Western boxing games like Fight Night series (Boring....). But, i have ZERO Tolerance with UFC or any MMA cage fighting. I BANNED those sports due to Barbaric way of fighting.
@Prof_Yoshtonics
"How's Spiderman to "mature" for you to handle but, you'll get down on some Street Fighter?"
I'm Neutral with Spiderman.
I know who is he.
But, i'm not okay for characters from rated M Capcom games (D#### may c..., etc) (Sorry, i censored those words because i still hate to say from my tongue)
@YamAsereht It could be a possibility since it did come to Vita. Also, the Vita supports touchscreen which works well with the Switch.
@NinjaWaddleDee If Infinite comes at as an extra downloadable piece then fine. Ultimate 3 just has more style. I think the art direction is what made me like Ultimate 3 more. I would even take the game as a one on one fighter if they just keep that cool style.
@1UP_MARIO
Hooshaa... !
I play ARMS, Mario + Rabbids, 1-2-Switch.
@NinjaWaddleDee
"Like who? Morrigan?"
No.
But other rated M games from Capcom.
@Anti-Matter: Well, that clears things up. You're simply not a fan of M rated games, or visual violence beyond a certain level. This is gonna sound off-topic, but your choices of censoring are interesting. It's none of my business, but are you a person of some faith? Feel free to not answer. Like I said, it's none of my business. Edit: If I had to guess, I'd guess you are Muslim, since you are from Indonesia. Obviously, that's just a guess, a stab in the dark, so to speak. Again though, none of my business. It just struck me as interesting, your choice of word censorship.
@Capt_N I doubt it. Have you seen k-1 fighting that he says he likes. It’s brutal. People getting ko’ed by kicks in the face etc yet he says UFC is too barbaric. Fine lines for some
Ya, we've seen this dog and pony show before.
The first time, ok, ya got me. But not again.
even if is true...the game is just plain awful.
@Mr_Pepperami
Let me show you some K-1 games from PS2, because i play that games.
Oh, i also play the Chibi version of K-1 on GBA.
Btw, i had judged from their movement, K-1 is still tolerable to watch for me. It still looks like Muay Thai / Kickboxing sports. And don't forget my cute avatar, Eddie was inspired from K-1 with cuteness from My Sims.
@Capt_N
I'm not a Muslim.
I'm a half Chinese-Indonesian (my Grandma from Father side was from Canton, China. Both of my Father and Mother are from Indonesia. My Father was from Kediri, East Java, my Mother was from Surabaya, East Java. I lived on Surabaya as well).
I pray at my nearest Chinese Temple.
@Anti-Matter I watch all combat sports. Boxing is the least lightest of the three. K-1 is literally inbetween boxing and UFC or mixed martial arts. UFC and K-1 aren’t a million miles off each other
@Anti-Matter: Thank you for telling me; that's interesting to know.
Hope this is real. Day one buy if it is! 😃
It is probably fake. I would be shocked if a video like this would be released before an official announcement. This is the kind of leak that could get someone fired and "blacklisted" from the industry.
Never gonna happen
@samuelvictor
"MvsC Infinite on my PS4 Pro and it was absolute garbage. Like, just terrible in every possible way. Euch."
May I ask why you think so? It seems to be a common opinion on the internet, and while I personally dislike the "realistic" art style as opposed to the traditional, "cartoony" look of the previous MvC games, I don't really see what's so bad about it. I haven't actually played it, only watched a lot of videos including the entire story mode, but to me it's pretty much the same as UMvC3 (which I loved and still play) but with uglier art style and less characters.
@Anti-Matter I totally get where you're coming from with wanting to not play games that make you uncomfortable, that go against something you believe in, that contain something you hate, etc. 😌 Most of the time, I try and thoroughly find out what games are all about before making a purchase (ESRB's full descriptions and Common Sense Media help a lot).
What exactly was the content you didn't like, if you don't mind telling me?
Eh... I really didn't care much about this entry. Injustice 2 on the other hand...
@MH4
I don't tolerate Strong Violence / Gore, Foul language, Dark theme, Criminal theme, Demonic theme, FPS, Explicit Blood, Terror, Horror, Sex abuse especially big boobs girls, Bully, Drugs, Evil creatures, Evil behaviour.
Those are 100% Deadly Sins, Pure Tetrodotoxin.
This is fake.
But if Capcom is going to port an MvC game to Switch, it'd be this one. They don't need to witness MvC Infinite bomb yet again.
@Anti-Matter I get that, I get that! It's always awesome to set standards for your gaming. 😊
I don’t know if its real or not but i’ve always said, i would love to see Ultra Street Fighter IV, Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and Street Fighter X Tekken on switch. The nature of the console fits so perfectly for these awesome fighting games.
@Anti-Matter i have a real question then. Do you not play Super Smash Bros because of the inclusion of characters like Bayonetta in Smash 4 or Snake in Smash Bros Brawl.
@MotionMan
Actually, yes.
But, even without those rated M characters, i have no interest at all with Smash Bros games. I'm Neutral with Smash Brosh games, but those rated M characters irked me.
Not just only that.
Even for MaiMai SEGA, I will NOT choose & play songs from rated M games especially from SEGA (they are included on MaiMai games)
I have ZERO Tolerance with their existence, from characters, story, music, ALL !
@retro_player_22 @SegaBlueSky @FragRed
*** Where is ‘Start’ button on Switch
Nothing guaranteed but if you pause/look at the controller screen that flashes up for a couple frames at the end - the player 2 controller says ‘Press Start’....
@Anti-Matter Do you play Smash Bros? Because there have been two characters from "M" rated franchises in the series so far.
I'm not sure I understand the argument you're making. I get that you dislike Mature rated games, but it not like having characters from Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, and others like Wolverine and Deadpool are suddenly causing the game to have blood spilled over all the place.
Don't take this the wrong way, but you play both Dragon Ball and Naruto games. I'm a fan of both franchises, and the core manga and anime for both franchises are very violent and graphic, with characters that bleed, arms and limbs that get cut off, and tons of other graphic violence.
That's on top of both franchises having lovely topics like Genocides, massive body tolls when the villains go on rampages(Dragon Ball does this more), and tons of content that makes me wonder how either franchise is considered a "kids" series in Japan.
Even Dragon Ball Super, with the lack of blood in the anime version still is very graphic in the manga. Plus, the anime does not dance around Zamasu and Black's rampage that killed the gods of the multiverse and plunged Future Trunks' world into a worse nightmare then the androids, and the Tournament of Power which basically has a rule that states a defeated Universe gets erased for good.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is that I'm a bit confused. You won't play Marvel vs Capcom 3 because it features characters from Mature rated franchises, but you'll play games based on Dragon Ball and Naruto, which while not the most violent anime's out there, are still pretty graphic. Have you read the source material for either one of those franchises?
I would think you would stay far away from Naruto and Dragonball games. The games may be rated teen, but that's because they are often lighter and softer adaptions that cut out much of the blood and gore, and skip over many of the more disturbing moments of the source material.
#fake
@Caryslan
I don't play any Smash Bros games.
Nor even Dragon Ball & Naruto.
Not interested at all.
But, i did ever saw the gameplay.
For Dragon Ball, i have ever watched the SNES gameplay when i was kid.
Not interested with the game, but the Flying mechanism gave me idea for my own Boxer characters...
I only play Classic Street Fighter series (from II, Alpha, III), Pocket Fighter PS1, K-1 games for PS2 & GBA, ARMS, Animal Boxing NDS.
@Anti-Matter I feel that this discussion has turned into a debate over gaming preferences. I am not bashing you for your views and preferences towards games, but I feel that your comments on this post have been off topic from the beginning
Real or not, who cares?
Real or not, who cares?
Real or not, who cares?
Anti-Matter just wants to shelter himself from any kind of "mature" theme in games. It's an odd choice, but it is his own. He just says "banned" when he means "I will not play this game". I thought this was known.
@SmaggTheSmug think the problem is he puts himself front and centre against this stuff every single time there is game that has it. For example if you don’t like cute games I doubt your would post on every entry on Nintendo life about how it should be banned and is disgusting. You would just think in your mind ‘yeah, that’s not for me’ and leave it there. Just seems a bit much sometimes
@Mr_Pepperami So just ignore it. It doesn't affect you.
He seems like a troubled individual for whom English is not a first language. Just leave him be.
@SmaggTheSmug why is it wrong to question the guy about it? He’s posted it. I’ve not been horrible in any way I’ve just asked him the criteria of what makes the cut. Nothing wrong with that
If this is real, it would be one of the most bizarre announcements for the Switch so far. UMvC3 realistically was only re-released for PC, PS4 and Xbox One to promote Infinite. To be honest, going by the history of Activision not renewing games from Disney-licenced franchises (I know this could be an Activision-specific issue), I was expecting UMvC3 to be taken off the Steam, PSN and XBL stores within 1 1/2 years after release.
There were even rumours circulating a while ago that Infinite would be taken off the digital stores a year after its release because of its poor sales and reception. Even if that's (most likely) not true, Capcom is already taken Infinite out of the Capcom Pro Tour, its own on-going tournament event.
You would have thought Capcom and Disney would try and distance themselves from the MvC franchise after Infinite as much as possible; and a port of a 2011 game, which got ported to current-gen systems a year ago; with a new game in the same franchise (commercially and financially considered an absolute failure), doesn't really help with that.
It is POSSIBLE, but this deserves a metric ton of salt, and there is just so much going against this being legitimate considering the state of the MvC franchise. Would like to be proved wrong, but I am no way convinced by this currently.
[EDIT] If you saw 7 copies of this massive essay just now, I am very, very sorry. My Internet is acting up a lot this morning.
@Anti-Matter
Big boobs a deadly sin? I know a few girls going straight to hell then. I don't mind joining them.
He went way too fast to the home menu imo
Any chance this is a rainway demo. What ever that streaming thing is called
Marvel vs Cap 3, include all DLCs, I'm done!
Port it over! The game never gets old!
Has anyone noticed these strings of rumors that should be fakes, but it's hard to believe they're not?
Much like the 5.0.0 video, I'm leaning toward fake, but wait until there is confirmation.
Don't get me wrong I doubt this is happening but it would be funny if this instead of Infinite comes to switch. Not in an "oh look the switch is getting an old game" sort of thing but in a "wow Capcom is really trying to pretend Infinite never happened" sort of funny.
@Anti-Matter holy [removed] you are missing out on amazing games, even a lot of the best games out there. How do you manage?
@Mrrabbitpuncher
Hey, no profanity please !
I’ve been hoping to play any marvel vs Capcom on Switch!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wahooooo!
I hope so, this is by far the greatest entry into the series.
Well, weve seen how amazing Switch does 2D fighters. CAPCOM please release All the Xmen Vs crossovers from the 90s already? Also Darkstalkers too.
The ads on this site are getting as bad as IGN. I stopped reading ign years ago because of this. Ew
