Free Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 update goes live

@WafflePrime LOL! When it comes to Capcom it is always something that isn't ready by the release date.

Heroes & Heralds Mode huh... more like Super Smash Bros. Mode.

@angry_roman1011 How long have you been playing console games? Because fighting games have been getting updates since Street Fighter 2: Championship Edition came out almost 20 years ago.

For so many years I thought console games never needed updates

A new broken mode for a broken game.

I'm really liking this new mode, it brings a new strategy to the game. As a side note Capcom said from the beginning that this DLC was going to be free, the mode wasn't ready in time for the release.

I'll believe it when I see it. I don't trust Capcom anymore. That's why I still haven't bought this game and it seems to have saved me some cash.

Thanks Capcom! Another kick in the balls to us fans that actually bought the original game! Note to self: Never buy the original version of a game from Capcom! Wait for the Hyper Super-mega edtion!

It's a shame there's no PC version. Come on, Capcom, do eet.

Oh....and they nerfed Phoenix Wright's Turnabout mode assist invicibility. And there's also the bug fixes...

Oh my Go.... well ,I guess Capcom has read some posts from the forums and wanted to clear their faces from tomatoes) But still it's just a little step to the normal way of doing business, later they will make more costume, character, theme pay-money-only DLC)

Free DLC? Capcom? I must have stumbled into an alternate dimension.

Cheaters never prosper.

I hope these don't go into ranked games.

@mellow09 Are you serious or just being foolish?

@tachsniper Apparently you can.

So is this like Gems?

@TheArcade This is a catch how? this is a game mode that looks like tons of fun, and it's not cheating your way to victory because both people choose to play the game mode, they weren't just put up against somebody who "cheats".

another mode to make fights all the more cheesier than it already is.... trust me, once people know the intricacies of H&H mode & how they can maximize its potential together with the top tiers of the game, UMVC3 will be even more broken than vanilla

How many people will be downloading this update anyway? Last time I checked, it did sell poorly. No wonder it's free.

So basically Heroes & Heralds mode gives you the ability to cheat. Some freebie Capcom, why not give us some Gameshark codes while you're at it. *rolls eyes* It's free because they allow you to cheap your way to victory using gimmicky unlockables. We should have known there would be a catch to it!

Never thought I'd see "Capcom" and "free" in the same sentence again. Color me surprised.

I'm new to playing UMVC3 so Heroes and Heralds is like my training at least offline

It also puts-in game ads for the Next Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

I have been playing this mode and it is sweet. A lot better and much deeper than the arcade mode.

Not bad. Uncharacteristic for Capcom.

@tachsniper I can since I have to pay another $40 to play it. I already payed $70 for what I thought was the only one coming this year. They at least could include it in that.

At least its free.

This game is not even worth my time or money the second time around.

Ugh...now, what would be nice is if Capcom would release an update for the standard Marvel vs. Capcom 3, so that I don't have to fork out another £20 in order to play the same game twice... I should've known...what with it being Capcom and all.

This is cool and all, but why wasn't this in the original MvC3?

I have been waiting and waiting for this. I am so glad it is here!

well guess you really can't complain about free.
