during e3, we bent the ear of marvel vs capcom 3: fate of two worlds producer ryota niitsuma, who in turn gabbed about the new game and previous vs titles, as well as the possibility of a new arcade stick partnership with mad catz. the full interview follows.

joystiq: we've heard different stories about the origin of marvel vs capcom 3 -- both that development started as a result of strong sales of the hd re-release of marvel vs capcom 2 and that it was in development long before that. which is it?

ryota niitsuma: both games were being developed independently -- one didn't lead to the other, as it were. while we were getting the ball rolling on mvc3, the downloadable version of marvel vs capcom 2 was being repackaged and distributed. and then that was really successful, as you know, and because of that, it had kind of an impact on marvel vs capcom 3. we thought then that the game would be really big and people would be excited about it, so then we were more hopeful and expectant of what would happen with marvel vs capcom 3.
