Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3's Pre-Order Costume Packs Revealed

Capcom has revealed a load of new costumes for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 over on its Capcom-Unity blog, which is great news, right? Well, yes and no. They're pre-order bonuses at various selected retailers. *sigh* Hopefully these will also be available to download post-launch, like the Jill and Shuma-Gorath DLC for MvC3 before it.

Despite the game being out in North America tomorrow, Capcom has only recently announced these, so if you want to get hold of them, you'd better act quickly. Or wait until they turn up on the Xbox Live Marketplace, no doubt at a cost. Currently, these costume packs are available from Amazon, GameStop and Best Buy in North America.

Also spotted in the official Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 strategy guide is what appears to be a downloadable Mega Man. Before you get too excited however, it turns out that it's actually a DLC Mega Man costume for Zero. That'll have to do for now, unfortunately. Check out the pre-order costume packs below and Mega Man [via Joystiq] below.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is out tomorrow in North America, November 17th in Japan and November 18th in Europe.

  • damn the mega man costume is just amazing. well done capcom.
  • @1 mega man sucks. It's all about Ken!
  • @1 that is zero....megaman isn't around anymore sadly... This game is on its way to me .. Hopefully it will be sweet =D
  • After years of service, Mega-Man deserves all the respect ! Plus how the way Capcom just pretty much said FU your done/fired ::sigh:: such a shame....
  • ah capcom, gotta love their troll-tastic sense of humor!
  • My team is: Zero ( Megaman X costume) Frank west (Megaman X costume) and... wait someone is missing...
  • I'm not a fan of Jill having the mind control gem in her chest with the skirt and tube top from Resident Evil 3, though I'm glad to see the look return. Shuma's new skin is cool, and MODOK's is hysterical. I know this thread will see a lot of the typical, redundant hate toward Capcom and the predictable rereleasing of their fighting games, but I skipped the first one and am looking forward to playing this on PS3.
  • I hope Firebrand gets an alternate costume of his Legendary Gargoyle look in Demon's Crest.
  • Other than the Jill/Shuma costumes, these were announced WITH the game. So wait, are Jill and Shuma on the disc, and readily available? Or am I missing something? Why do you get the costumes, if you potentially don't have the characters? Stoked for Mega Man costume and all this jazz. Not getting this right now, but glad I waited and didn't get the original.
  • Must. Buy. From. Amazon! Cyber Akuma for the win!
  • @3 say what? lol thats why i said costume ;)
  • You're a little late with that info Richard :P ALL the DLC costumes have been leaked: http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/nov/13/high-resolution-umvc3-dlc-alternate-costume-images/#comments
  • MEGAMAN....costume?? Aww
  • "These pre-order costumes were just recently revealed!" Nope. They've been announced since the game was announced. Seriously. Also, all the other DLC costumes are soooo 2 days ago.
  • I wish they would have stuck with more of a cell shaded art style for the characters :( they all have that plastic look to them lol
  • I got the villains pack because M.O.D.O.K. convinced me (I also main Skrull)
  • Dude. MODOK FTW! I want to get this game just for that costume. Oh man it will be awesome!!!!!
  • pre-order bonuses.... How about some respect for the people that brought MVC3 original, getting sick of all these unlocking codes. Bring on the old days when games just came as a complete package...
  • Why does RE3 Jill have the mind control shit on her? Way to ruin a legendary outfit Capcom. But it's still cool to see it here, now give us STARS Jill (no fucking mind control!)
  • Wow, hella late with this update. Or did you not notice it on here when announced months ago? Thus why I did my proper preorder for what costume pack I wanted long ago.
  • its coming out today in the states? i will have to get it with saints row the third then. i thought it was going to be on the 22nd. glad i preordered from best buy cuse that modok outfit is funny. =)
  • wait....how could they just have announced this? i knew about the best buy dlc with the elvis modok since i pre-ordered it over a month ago. odd. well if i had known that they hadnt officially announced it i could have said something on here.
  • M.O.D.O.K. as Elvis = awesome!
