Oh wow, is that Deadpool vs. Phoenix Wright? And Doctor Strange finally makes it to gaming? I'm sold. Check out this clip of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 on the PlayStation vita, coming to stores July 22!

He can't smash like The Hulk, but Phoenix Wright is the king of damages in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Beware the Power of Attorney!

Guardian of the Galaxy and all around cosmic badass Rocket Raccoon has officially joined the roster of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. And suddenly, even though I'm loving the newly released Nighwing DLC for Batman: Arkham City, I cannot wait to get my hands on this game!

Check out the clip of Rocket in action below.

While we wait for the November 15 release of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, there's already a tournament underway at the Manga Cafe in Paris. As jealous as I am, I'm pleased to say that Capcom gave YouTube user Pharaon92i permission to upload tons of gameplay footage, and it looks pretty epic. I mean, you can have a grudge match between Doctor Strange and Phoenix Wright! And yes, that is the first thing that I plan to do when I unwrap the game. Check out the videos below for a taste of what you can expect (minus the French subtitles - I don't think you'll be getting those).

The upcoming Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 adds several new characters to the roster, including Marvel's sorcerer supreme, Doctor Strange. And of all the multimedia icons featured in UMvC3 - Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine - guess which character was the subject of an unusual level of oversight and supervision from Marvel? Yup, it's the Doctor. I'm guessing it's because the recent movie rumors have enough truth to them that Doctor Strange is being discussed in many meetings of the editorial and financial bigwigs at Marvel/Disney who want to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again.

So, given that he's still an unproven property for the mass moviegoing audience Marvel is courting, it would be wise to tread carefully and make Doctor Strange a badass in his MvC debut. This is all speculation, but Kotaku's encounter with game producer Ryota Niitsuma at Gamescom would seem to support it.

"With Dr. Strange, Marvel had some very special requests," he said. "They wanted him to do this this and this. It was very specific what they wanted him to do."

Nitsuma said that Marvel has never been that specific in the past.

"Dr. Strange had the most specific requests they ever made," he said. "It was just unreal; what moves he had; what sort of hand gestures. Very specific."

He said the comic publisher even sent along illustrations showing exact hand positions for Dr. Strange to use in the game.

"There were some bits and pieces we couldn't do," Niitsuma said. "There were some moves we had to counter-offer [with] something else and satisfy their needs for specific things in different ways."

Marvel even over-ruled some of the things Capcom wanted to change. For instance, Marvel requests that Dr. Strange float when he moves around the screen in the fighting game. But Niitsuma and his team said that too many of Marvel's characters were already floating. Eventually, Marvel got their way.

Of course Marvel got their way. Because you don't. mess. with. Disney.

So what do you think? Do signs point to a Doctor Strange movie in the works? Do you, like me, consider this a Very Good Thing?

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 boasts new features including enhanced modes, more balanced gameplay, and most importantly 12 new playable characters, for a total of 50 Marvel and Capcom legends.
