Hello,

I just read this article from gamespot.com:

Well? I find this a little unexpected. I like Marvel vs. Capcom 2. I like a lot of EA's games. But Marvel vs. EA?

Good idea? Bad idea? Who cares? Let the speculation begin.

wow it sounds more scary than anything EA makes really go sports games but a fighting game? I don't know how well they will do but it will definitely be interesting to say the least

O_o Whoa, this is kinda odd.... Well, I'm not sure until I hear some more info, this could go either way.....

This is a tremendous opportunity for EA to create new characters for fighting games that can be exploited through our global merchandise licensing machine to fuel sales

I don't know, but that line sounded like a joke...

I don't know, but that line sounded like a joke...

A joke? Well, the joke must be pretty big if Reuters is reporting it.

That is a Reuters article on Yahoo! I found this article linked from games.slashdot.org.

I know this is hard to believe, Bobtheduck, but if Reuters is reporting this....
