Gamers with save data from last year's Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds will automatically unlock the game's final boss, Galactus, as a playable character in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Not a difficult task for fans of the series, looking to upgrade to the latest version of the fighter.

But what if you haven't played MvC3?

If you don't have a save file to transfer, you'll have to work your way to become devourer of worlds. You'll have to earn 30,000 PP "by playing lots."

But even if you accomplish such a feat, remember: "he'll probably be banned from tournaments," a post on Capcom Europe's blog reminds players.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 launches for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next week. A PlayStation Vita version is set to arrive alongside the new handheld in February.
