Episode 608: The Capcom Marvel Universe (Patreon)

Greetings, true believers! Diamond Feit here, back with another podcast about fighting games, Capcom, and superheroes. All three of these elements overlapped 30 years back when the Osaka developer/publisher got Marvel Comics on the phone and the two companies teamed up for a series of exciting arcade titles.

Together with returning voices Kevin Bunch and John Learned, we turn the clock back to a time when comic books sold like gangbusters but Marvel still struggled to keep the lights on, all while Capcom took the genre they revolutionized with Street Fighter II and asked "what if we replace our martial artists with superhumans and robots?"
