We got a brand new blog from Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 producer Niitsuma-san!
Hey everyone! As always, this is the eternally-busy Niitsuma. This time on my plate I've got submission of the final version of the game, as well as submissions of materials to the various ratings boards. We have lots of big plans, so that means a lot of preparations and hectic days just about every day.
Speaking of ratings, there are 8 different ratings boards that we have to submit materials to. It really gives me an appreciation of the global scale of this title.
Because of how busy we've been, I'm late with this update, and I'm really sorry about that. So to make up for it, I have a few announcements for you all!
Hit the jump to see them all!
Announcement #1: Re-design of the Official Site!
Again, sorry to keep you all waiting, but we've finally been able to launch the redesign of the Japanese official website!
I would particularly recommend checking out the new character pages! You'll find the character reveal trailers, wallpapers, and best of all, you get to take a good listen to their character themes. As you can't really get to hear the themes that well in the trailers and what not, and they're all really cool songs, we ended up releasing them here on the official site.
So, grab some headphones and give them a listen!
Announcement #2: MVC3 Will Appear at the Jump Festa!
Here in Japan, so far we've only been able to set up a playable version at the Tokyo Game Show. So we're happy to announce that we're gonna have a playable version available at the Jump Festa as well. We are also planning a stage event, and maybe, just maybe we just might have some juicy new info for everyone!
So I hope everyone comes out and supports us there.
Announcement #3: Report From Comic Con!
I wanted to write about this sooner, but ever since getting back from New York I've been up to my ears in work. Better late than never?
At the NY Comic Con, we revealed new characters and had a panel discussion, and everyone really got excited for the game. In a hall only meant for 450 people, we somehow got 1200 fans in there...
With a playable version on hand, and the fans seeming to really enjoy the game, our booth was a great success!
Our booth, just bursting with people!
I signed autographs for a total of 4 hours over 3 days. Boy was my hand sore!
We put up a giant banner just outside of the event, and around the area we also put up banners on telephone poles. MvC3 really stood out in the area.
Well, I guess that's about it for today. Next week, I'll be off to France! ...At least, that was the plan. But France is currently in the middle of a labor strike, so my plans might get suddenly cancelled. I'll be sure to let you all know what happens.
Okay then, see you later!
P.S.I don't want people to get the wrong idea about DLC, but if there are any Capcom characters you'd like to see in the game, please let me know on my Twitter. I'd like to compare the characters who I feel are popular with the actual responses from our fans. I'll be looking forward to your tweets!
