Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of Super Heroes

 Released in 1998; it was later Ported to Dreamcast and PlayStation in 1999

It was only inevitable that Capcom would take advantage of their licensing rights with Marvel and combine that with their other franchises; and that's what we have here. We have characters from Street Fighter and Mega Man, and characters like Venom and Captain America on the other side. So, with that in mind, Capcom took advantage and remade and rereleased the game in 2012. They used Marvels newfound success on the big screen to draw more attention the game, making the release much more exciting as new fans of Marvel get to play as these characters themselves. 

As I've been making this blog, I've come to realize just how much their partnership with Marvel has paid off over the years. As Marvel became more popular, it became just that much easier to market Marvel products, and they definitely realized it.

Resident Evil : Nemesis

  Novel by S.D. Perry released in 2000. Resident Evil: Nemesis is the fifth book in the series but follows the events of the third game which released the year prior to the book being released. It's also the first book in the series to be based around one specific game. So, for that reason I believe it was important to mention the fact that Capcom also used books to promote their games. Capcom has put their foot in the door in various forms of media over the years, experimenting with their franchises the way they have has only helped them so far. They try to make media based around their IPs for everyone to enjoy.  Resident Evil: Nemesis (geeknative.com)

X-Men: Children of The Atom

Released in 1994 in Japan and 1995 in North America and Europe  In 1995 when Capcom still made games designed for arcade, they made their first game under licensing with Marvel and created a fighting game using X- Men characters. The games plot was directly based on the X-Men comic "Fatal Attraction", and it also uses the voice actors from the X-Men animated series that was released around the same time. So, for fans of the comics and the show alike, this game was a step in the right direction for what's to come with Capcoms licensing of Marvel characters.  X-Men: Children of the Atom (segaretro.org)
