In a short interview posted today by VideoGamer.com, Marvel vs Capcom 3 Total Producer Ryota Niitsuma had a few interesting things to say about the possible inclusions of Frank West and Phoenix Wright as playable characters.

"As for Frank West, he was actually in the process quite deep, and in one of our high quality CG trailers he was actually part of it," Niitsuma told VideoGamer.com at the end of last week. "But we've taken him out, due to the fact that we've foreseen some extra work involved, just from the nature of his moves. We felt we could direct our resources to better use, so we've taken Frank out."
