He’s covered wars you know.
Marvel vs Capcom 3 producer Ryota Niitsuma has said that everyone’s favorite photojournalist: Frank West has been cut from the game. This is due to “extra work” being required to get all of his moves in the game.
“As for Frank West, he was actually in the process quite deep, and in one of our high quality CG trailers he was actually part of it,” Nittsuma said to VideoGamer.com late last week.
“But we’ve taken him out, due to the fact that we’ve foreseen some extra work involved, just from the nature of his moves. We felt we could direct our resources to better use, so we’ve taken Frank out.”
While West may be out another character might be in and it’s someone you may not expect: Pheonix Wright. Nittsuma is happy to put the lawyer in the fighting series if MvC gains a following.
“Phoenix Wright is obviously a famous franchise – especially in Europe, actually. It would be interesting to see him, although he distinctively lacks the number of moves he might have [in a fighting game]. But if Marvel vs. Capcom 3 does well, he’s definitely up on the list as one of the characters to add, given the chance.”
Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be released on February 18th.
