Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Collector's Edition Coming To GameStop

Richard Walker

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is shaping up to be a big game, so it seems natural that there'd be a desirable collector's edition to match. And there is, exclusively at GameStop in North America and it's actually fairly special and not outrageously priced at $69.99.

The MvC3: Fate of Two Worlds Special Edition is packaged in a steelbook case with exclusive art, comes with a prologue comic book, a 1-month subsrciption to Marvel digital comics and a downloadable character pack that can be used four weeks post-launch. The characters you'll get are Jill Valentine and Shuma Gorath, which surely has to be worth the asking price alone.

GameStop is also offering some console decals as a pre-order bonus, so you can throw them in as well. The site is also listing the game with a release date of February 15th, 2011, although the official Capcom line is still spring 2011.

  • Sweet!!!!!! :)
  • This game should never release .
  • Sounds awesome!
  • i honestly dont think it'll be worth the full retail price, let alone the price they will charge for CE =/
  • Just the fact that is has RE characters in it makes me want to buy it, though not necessarily the special edition.
  • This game is too cool for me.
  • at $69.99, that seems pretty cheap for a special edition, considering you get some DLC. I wonder if the regular version retail price will only be $49.99...
  • "The MvC3: Fate of Two Worlds Special Edition" once Two Worlds 2 comes out im pretty sure we wont need this special edition to tell us the fate of Two Worlds, thus create an obsolete product. :P
  • i wonder what the pre-order stickers are? regardless, totally going to look at collector's for this one.
  • This looks amazing! Anyone know if this steelbook will be like an actual steelbook or a tin? Looking at the pictures it kind of looks like a tin but i could always be wrong. I love steelbooks and if it's as sturdy as the Black Ops steel book then I'm sold! Can't wait for this game :)
  • I'll stick with MVC2 this should be an XBL title not a full game
  • Not enough to interest me!
  • not worth it, whats wrong with you guys? I'm not a fighting game fan but this sounds pretty interesting
  • I hope this comes to an English retailer, I want this!
  • They need to add the Punisher to fight Chris Redfield or Wesker.
  • I think I'll have enough to buy 2 of them then. One to play with, and the other to keep, because god knows how much this game will be rare Brand New. :P
  • I honestly thought it was going to be coming to the arcade. A big arcade title, but one nonetheless. I really don't think I'll be buying this full price, and as for this edition; well, it might be cheap in the US but it's another matter entirely in the UK.
  • Me want game.
  • I alredy pre orderdm mine.
  • How can you say this shouldnt be a full game? People have demanded it for years and bitched it wasnt coming out, then when it does idiots complain its not an XBLA game If this is anything like MvC2 (which was a full game btw....) then this will definitely be worth the money
  • That sucks, Jill Valentine is my favorite Resident Evil character, and one of my favorite Capcom characters in general, sucks that to play as her they want to force me to buy the Collectors Edition, and then they haven't even announced it for anywhere outside of the USA, I dunno what i'll do about this game now, I know i'll be annoyed if I can't play as Jill, but I don't really want any of the other stuff in the collectors edition. Also how are people shocked that this is a full retail game, the second one was released as a full retail game before it was added to XBLA.
  • I want the special edition just for Shuma Gorath...he was a beast in MVC2...and everyone would just shake their heads at me when I picked him...until I went apeshit and beat their ass with him. Shuma 4 President!
  • YES!!!!! Sold... LOL. Gonna be Amazing.
  • 2 extra characters, a comic book and a month of free comics online. Sounds pretty good to me. Also this "it should have been an XBLA title" talk is a load of rubbish! I agree with #21, anyone who says that probably doesn't realize it was a full title! This looks asleast as good as street fighter 4 and you wouldn't expect THAT to be an arcade title would you?
  • The Marvel Online 1-month subscription is well worth it, though they really need to update their collection. I actually got asked the other day what special edition I am getting next, and I said none. This is now my next buy.
  • This is Capcom and they LOVE screwing us Europeans over ALOT just like with the Dead Rising 2 Zombrex Edition were we got less than half of what people in the USA got once again they'll do the same with MVC3. It'll just be the steelbook and a few art cards with one of the DLC characters thrown in, seeing as for some reason they hate their European customers, seriously fuck Capcom ; ;
  • so i guess that confirms jill and shuma which is some good news. both fun characters. was starting to doubt jill making the cut since chris and wesker both were included.
  • Shuma Gorath AND Jill Valentine?! I think I may be in on this one
  • Thank you Capcom. I will now be pre-ordering the CE.
  • @21, what's worse is they make you dress up as the dumb blonde RE5 version! I want classic Jill Valentine! :[ @20, At least SOMEBODY here makes sense. What's with all the bitching? Geez!
  • @21: I wouldn't lose faith. The fact that the pack apparently isn't usable until four weeks after launch says that the two will likely appear on the Marketplace around that time.
  • aaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhh i need to preorder this NOOOOW!
  • Resident Evil team is go. :) Instant pre-order.
  • Shuma Gorath YES! Was hoping for Cyclops though, deconfirmed or not I can still dream!
  • im sold
  • Holy fuck! I am not interested in this game at all, but I love steelbook cases and this is a really fucking sweet one!! Plus loads of other crap for $10 extra is like a steal! Now if only they made something like this for games I actually buy (damn you AC limited ed for $100:-P)
  • Shuma Gorath, Nuff Said.. CHAOS DIMENSION!...In HD!
  • Cool! I am definitely going to get this! xD
  • @#4 - Any reason why? @#11 - How so? MvC2 was a full retail when it came out long before the 360 even existed. How and why did you expect a full fighting game, like Street Fighter 4, Soul Calibur 4 or Tekken 6 and the games before it to be an XBLA title instead of a retail release? Or did you not know that retail fighting games have existed since the beginning of gaming? @#17 - Again, what made you even think that? @#26 - Capcom doesn't hate you. Capcom of Europe hates you. Its your own branch, of fellow Europeans, who have no interest in giving you stuff for free. @#30 - Classic Jill -could- be a costume, though. @#31 - I don't think it's unusable. People who get the Collector's Edition will get the DLC characters and then everyone else will get them a month later. The most likely scenario is that the DLC is already on the disc. And if this is true, then people without the DLC can still fight Jill online. Then Capcom will charge to unlock her later. The less likely scenario is that you can get her (and Shuma Gorath) but not use them online until the DLC is released to everyone. Or, they will release a patch, like with Dead Rising 2's costumes. We'll see.
  • @30 yeah hate the new look Jill, if it was the old Jill I might have thought about getting the SE
  • anyone who thinks this shouldn't be released is a jackass would be sweet if they through in a wolverine statue or something
  • @ #41 Throw =/= through @ #10 I see what you did there. It made me laugh. Anyway, love me some Jill Valentine, though it almost looks as if she has pigtails in that little headshot. I'm not sure if I'm digging that idea, but it's probably just a trick of the lighting or some such. Oh well, I'll still not be POing this as I'm just not sold on this being worth $60 or more. I hope it is, though.
  • I'm getting it just for that awesome case! And the characters of course.
  • @ #42 Damn, I meant . . . "@ #8 I see what you did there. It made me laugh." Oh, and good to see my favorite hateful blob return.
  • Sweet. Gonna get my pre-order down at Gamestop. Hopefully they throw in some extra stuff, too. :D
  • Hell yes for Jill. :)
  • #26 Agreed, remember RE5? US got what? Steel Book, Necklace, Chris Figure, Bag DVD and loads more. UK DVD and a defective SteelBook that holds the disc too hard and allows the centre to crack -.- But atleast We got a Limited Ed. RE4! And the Outbreak DR2 (but that was £70 so thats like what? $100?)
  • This is a day 1 buy for me.
  • 10 Dollars extra who wouldnt
  • seems like a good deal i might have to pick it up. the last CE or SE i got was GTA 4...no one will ever be able to 1up Rockstar
  • WAIT! anyone else notice the pic is for the PS3 version?
