Who would you want to see in Marvel Vs. Capcom 4?

Now that we know the alleged limitations of the MCU No Wolverine inMarvel vs. Capcom 4? That would be pretty insane, right? I’ve been playing the little guy (fun fact about Wolverine: he’s short) since the early days ofX-Men: Children of the Atom, and to see his run end now because of Fox’s grasp on theX-Menproperty would be a shame.

In Patch 4.15 Final Fantasy XIV‘s patch 4.15 just dropped, and a lot of the bigger additions like the new mech-based PVP mode are being overshadowed by “performance actions,” which allow Bards to play music for the first time.

Bondage bitch Belmont coming to Japan with Castlevania Judgment pre-orders

I don’t want to question Simon Belmont’s choice of attire — he’s the expert, not me — but I personally can’t see what good can come of walking around a monster-infested castle while dressed up like a one-man Ann Summers party.
