It's Official: Electronic Arts Have Lost Their Minds...

...or have they? This Marvel vs. EA idea could be more sane if EA would ditch the part about making their own fighting game characters. Heck, they ALREADY have their own fighting game characters in the NBA, NFL, NHL, and PGA Tour! Who wouldn't want to see a bout between Wolverine and Brendan Shanahan? Or the Avengers versus the Los Angeles Lakers (Hulk vs. Shaq would be something to see)? The matchups, both individual and team, would be endless! Move over Marvel vs. Capcom 2, with your mere choice of fifty-six characters...Marvel vs. EA would have hundreds, possibly THOUSANDS of characters from which to choose. Sure, it would make the loading time a pain in the rear to endure...but, if anyone can tolerate the load time for NHL 2003 (Playstation 2 version), they can most certainly tolerate the load time for Marvel vs. EA.

Did I mention how much more of a dynamite game this could be if you can choose which commentators you want to announce your fights? There would of course be John Madden, Jim Hughston (w/ Don Taylor, for those who want some humor), Marv Albert, and David Feherty available for your commentating pleasure...

But, knowing EA and their penchant for disappointing, (Putting out a kicka** NHL game in NHL 2002, then turning around and putting out a crappy game in NHL 2003...the only thing saving that was Hughston and Taylor's great and hilarious commentary, if it loaded properly) they will more than likely stay true to their word of creating their own characters. Bah...then again, I don't think EA will never quite be the same after changing their cool "It's In the Game" slogan to the lame "BIG"...
