Marvel vs Capcom 2: The Ultimate Throwdown Returns
When it comes to the ultimate showdown of all-time great fighting games, Marvel vs Capcom 2 might well take my personal bet for being the best of the best. I spent countless hours throwing down with housemates, friends and random passers-by who looked like they were up for a brawl during my teenage years. Yet the arcade classic has - as far as I can tell - never been given a proper PC release before the recent announcement of a new bundle of the comic-book crossover series headed to Steam this year.
The Return of a Legend
As a gamer and game developer, the news of finally making its way to Steam is like finding out that your favorite comic book hero is getting a sequel! This game wasn't just a pastime; it was a staple of my formative gaming years. Whether I was button-mashing or meticulously pulling off combos, the thrill remained unmatched.
Enhanced for the Modern Era
What really excites me is the inclusion of rollback netcode in this release. For those who don’t speak in game dev jargon 24/7, that means less lag and smoother online play. It's like having faster Wi-Fi in your favorite coffee shop—life-changing! This addition alone makes the game more appealing, especially in our current age of highly competitive online gaming.
Reliving Nostalgia in HD
Seeing Iron Man and Doctor Doom back in action on my modern PC is a visual treat I didn't know I needed. It's like opening a time capsule but with enhanced graphics, better performance, and online capabilities. If you're as stoked as I am, be sure to have your controllers ready. Because let’s face it, keyboards are great, but some games just scream for that gamepad experience!
Marvel vs Capcom 2, welcome back, old friend. We've missed you.
