Truly sad to think that the game could have been bigger than MvC2. #MvC4Never

That's a shame but knowing Capcom they would try to make it hard to buy the stages with ingame money and try to make you to buy it with real money. Either way it's still a decent game but sad they abandon it to focus more on Street Fighter V.
