In Honor Of Street Fighter 4 - Wolverine vs Dr. Doom

Honoring Street Fighter 4, I bring you a series of epic battles from past Capcom titles and other games influenced by Street Fighter. This is "Marvel Super Heroes: War Of The
Gems" (1996, Capcom), one of the last Capcom games for SNES.
This was actually a precursor to the kind of games we'll get from Capcom
in the next several years. I mean, along with "Children of the Atom", "War Of The Gems" is part of
the roots in the "Street Fighter vs X-Men" and "Marvel vs Capcom" series. Capcom, with their cel-shaded style, and Marvel doing the crossover thing,
it was a perfect match. Now, this game was a pretty cool concept from the
start. You get to choose five Marvel superheroes (Spiderman, Hulk,
Wolverine, Captain America, Iron Man) and trek through several different levels
beat-em-up style. Apparently, some gems are scattered throughout the planet
and you need to find them all, otherwise some villain will get it and kill everyone else.
Typical Marvel story. Anyway, I really could give a fuck less about using the other characters, since all I need is Wolverine. So I give Dr. Doom's level a shot and I end up facing him within seven minutes. But the shitty thing is, you only get one life throughout each level and once you die, it's over. You have to start the whole damn thing all over again. It's an okay game at best, but what makes it important is the fact that
Capcom fucked with Marvel all the way to 2001 after this game.
