For those of you who are hoping the 12 additional fighters in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Ultimate Edition will be available as downloadable content for the original game will be sorely out of luck.
In an interview with Siliconera, producer Ryota Niitsuma stated, “Right now, we’re only thinking about releasing a disc version. Given the development schedule, there wasn’t enough time to work out all of the details to release it as downloadable content, as well … there is so much data in the game it was easier to go this route.”
However, it may not be that big a loss. While Ultimate Edition may cost $39.99, if one were to pay $3.99 each for each of the 12 fighters as is standard, they’d be spending far more than just buying the upgrade.
