Capcom Bring Forthcoming Titles to MCM Expo
Capcom comes out fighting with the announcement that Street Fighter x Tekken, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and actioner Asura’s Wrath will all be playable at next month’s MCM Expo London Comic Con. Gamers can play on one of the twenty consoles Capcom is bringing and will do so in one of two full-size boxing rings that Capcom is installing!
Street Fighter x Tekken sees two beat-em-up behemoths go head-to-head for the first time. Dozens of playable characters lets you pit the likes of Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li against Tekken heroes such as Kazuya, Nina and King.
Telling its epic tale of feuding gods through TV-style episodes, Asura’s Wrath seamlessly blends relentless action with dramatic narrative, eliminating the traditional distinction between gameplay and cutscenes.
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 adds 12 new legends to the already bulging Marvel vs. Capcom 3 roster – including Ghost Rider, Hawkeye and Strider – not to mention eight new stages and a refined fighting system. It also has Phoenix Wright who is awesome.
Videogaming goodness doesn’t stop there as other top publishers attending MCM Expo include 2K Games; Namco Bandai; Nintendo; Pqube; Rising Star; Square Enix; Tecmo Koei; THQ; Ubisoft and WB Games.
The MCM Expo will take place from the 28th of October until the 30th at Excel London, Royal Victoria Dock. For London MCM Expo tickets please visit the store.
