Re: Soapbox: Marvel Vs. Capcom Was The Unsung Hero Of The June Nintendo Direct

@EarthboundBenjy Due to it's combination of licenses it's already rare to release, not every one of these games has been ported to console either, ports have been flawed in some fashion most of the time, none of them have ever appeared on a Nintendo platform before either. And the sales debacle that was Marvel Versus Capcom: Infinite, with the Marvel decree of no X-Men (which this entire fighting genre began with), and a clearly half-assed art direction meant people rejected it and sales tanked and people believed Capcom would never attempt anything like this again.

I did have a friend who's Mom did all of the merchandising in New Mexico for Nintendo. We played and finished Mario 64 two months before the N64 released because she had extra demo units. He also had a demo of Star Fox 2 for the SNES we got to try out. Nintendo actually sent it out to employees with kids for market research to see how enjoyed it. I guess we were the only ones who did...
