Last year, Capcom scored commercial and critical success with Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Developed by Backbone Entertainment and featuring visuals redrawn by Udon Comics, the downloadable game sold 250,000 copies within its first few weeks, with Capcom touting the performance as setting day-one and week-one sales records.

Those who enjoyed the game will be pleased to know that Capcom plans to continue applying the HD Remix treatment to its catalog of titles, according to Capcom's vice president of strategic planning, Christian Svensson. "Are we done doing HD Remixes? No we're not done," Svensson told UK gaming site VideoGamer. "But the next ones that we do will be even better, based on what we learned."

And, of course, the immediate question from any fan of Capcom fighting games then becomes, so what about Marvel vs. Capcom 2? "I won't say it doesn't need it," Svensson said. "Marvel would be great to do. There's obviously a fan base for it. It's probably our most requested title. Unfortunately, I wish I had news to share on that front but I don't."

In addition to Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Capcom HD Remixed Super Puzzle Fighter II in 2007.

    Marvel Vs Capcom 2 on PSN and XBLA (and possibly WiiWare/VC) = $15
    Characters not unlocked at the beginning of the arcade/DC version = $5 a pop
    The look on fans' faces when they realize just how greedy CAPCOM can get = priceless

    HD would be really nice, but a 3rd in the series would be even better.

    And...
    PLEASE GOD YES PLEASE PLEASE GOD YES.

    For some reason on DC this game was super addictive played it basically all of the year 2000 but then my DC broke and I lost my games. I got a Xbox like 2004 and my friend gave me the Xbox version and it wasn't as good for some reason although it seemed the same I just didn't get that feeling that DC gave me. But yeah I would like to see this game come back to HD it couldnt hurt if it came back to gamers on new consoles.

    That would be the great if Marvel vs. Capcom 2 got the Remix. Do you know how hard it is to find this game, and if you find it, it is still $60-$70 used and Hundreds if not opened.

    if they do this marvel versus capcom 2 it will make fans buy it and keep as a collection and it will sell like crazy. just like street fighter hd remix it will have smooth buttons, great graphics, and best damn fighting moves ever but more better than street fighter because marvel vs capcom is one of those games that's really rare

    I'll just hook up my Dreamcast via a VGA cable to my Bravia LCD, wallah, Marvel vs Capcom 2 Hd remix! I actually broke out this game on my Dreamcast last week, man, this game is still lots of fun . While they're at it, they should remake a Xmen Children of the Atom.

    They don't even have to make it HD if Capcom didn't want to. Just make MVC2 glitch free and maybe some online matchmaking wouldn't hurt. I'd gladly pay a $60 price tag for it (and with Capcom's current nickel and dime system these days, I wouldn't be surprised if it were $60)

    Jesus:Capcom should reamake SFIII seeing they ruin SFIV by neglecting SFIII.
    KV:I agree Jesus, Capcom did ruin SFIV.
    Jesus:Enough with SFII and move on to SFIII; the better SF game.

    If you could print money... wouldn't you?

    I hate every 2D fighter I've ever played with a fiery passion, but Marvel vs. Capcom was an exception. Despite Wolverine being the world's worst button-masher (he was even banned from machines in the day) the game was still fun for me. Unfortunately, it may be a long time before they get the rights from Marvel.
