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.

But on Capcom USA, they're active and promoting the release of their new game Dragon's Dogma 2, and they were retweeting and showing support for Resident Evil 4. Capcom is giving support to RE4 due to the Game Awards being right around the corner, and RE4 was nominated for multiple categories including Game of the Year. So, it's currently and conveniently a big time for Capcom and their social media teams, which is active in promoting whatever projects needs promoting. Capcom now has their foot in the door when it comes to social media marketing, allowing them to keep their products relevant and f...
