Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Finally annouced for XBL and PSN - out this Summer

Well no surprise there after the the widespread rumors and tu4ar.com.

Here's the full news on Kotaku

Capcom officially announced MvC2 for the 360 and PS3 this summer with new visual filters and online matching modes. Developed by Foundation 9 and based on the Deamcast code, the game will cost $15/1,200 MS pts.

Ready to take the ride all over again?

this has really just made my day!!!!! CANT WAIT

thank you capcom, my wish has been granted *bows*

I thought it was supposed to have some sort of HD graphical upgrade? Judging by this teaser trailer on Marvel's site, it doesn't and is the same game as the Japanese Dreamcast version (Due to the Online play). I'm glad for the people that can now get this game but I'll stick with my original copy now.

Il be buying it :D

This excites me and i dont mean to sound like an ingrate but i still want to see Alpha 3,3rd Strike, and Capcom vs SNK 2 in HD, dont stop now capcom, you just got started rolling with this HD thing, and if you guy over at capcom have Konami's number, tell them to get started on an HD remix of Castlevania SOTN and The entire contra series......am i being to demanding? Me thinks not!

Anyway,no tedious character unlocking and the inclusion of Ranked and HD Remix-esque Player Matches makes this a definite buy.I just hope XBL is getting the demo on the same day...

Don't want to burst anyones bubble but a PS3 demo is due out April 30, the game is coming out this summer.NeoJoe

Oh hell yeah!!! This is great news. I so can't wait to grab this game. I totally loved it before but now it will be that much better with online play and achievements. Hopefully it gets released soon.

Argh... a straight port? Nothing else? Bleh...MAILER_DAEMON

Heh, more demo purchasing!

This is a prime example of why companies DON'T like listening to the fans. Once they do something for the fans, they get greedy.

Completely and utterly impossible for me to get excited for this. I liked it when it first came out, but it quickly became something I find entirely disinteresting. SNK has much better stuff in the XBLA pipeline.DarkCatalyst

But... None of those other games let you pit Mega Man against Wolverine!

That's the big drawI think, you have crazy match ups and super fast, easy to pick up gameplay. I don't think it is meant for crazy fighting fans like yourself, though you and your kind will ensure I see nobody but Magneto online...

Even if HD Remix didn't have the graphical update, the fact that the game was rebalanced made it completely worthwhile.MAILER_DAEMON

Hm, I wonder how many people are going to pick Iron Man online...

You aren't joking there. I'm going to be all over KOF2002UM, as for Garou, I still have my copy.

A great annoucement for the fighting game community to be sure. Unfortunately, I can't get too hyped about this because I never could grasp the insanity of MVC2's gameplay. Capcom did the right thing in not redrawing the sprites since that process would have taken years (56 characters... eek!) Its better that they save that for MVC3 and keep this game as a simple downloadable 360 or PS3 game. They did add a few graphic filters though. Check it out:

The fighting game community is alive and kicking this year.

:lol:... The Playstation Blog has an alternate version of the trailer featuring the song 'The Touch'.:lol:

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 Revealed, Demo Exclusive to PSN!

"You got the touch!

You got the power!..."

I cant wait for this game to come out and hear people complain about how broken the game is

What about Doom and Captain Commando, I thought they were pretty widely used?...I use to play with Cable/Thanos/Psylocke myself, but I noticed that Cable's extremely vulnerable close up especially fighting against the likes of Storm and Psylocke.

For what it's worth, Capcom confirmed that there will be no WiiWare version. Seems they only have the rights to distribute this game digitally, not through retail, and the game is larger than the WiiWare size limit.

MS has several gigs of storage to work with. The Wii does not. That's one limit that Nintendo can't really get around.

Like Ken, Ken, and Ken in SFIV with the occasional Sagat, right? LOL! :P

But DC, I think a lot of MvC2 fans are not competitive tourney players so that's why we're pretty stoked about this. But I totally understand where you're coming from. If I was a tournament players and a seriously hardcore MvC2 junkie, than I'd probably feel the same. But since I'm not, like probably most of here, this is a great treat. I say treat because MvC2 to me is more fan service than a serious fighting game. And it's so much fun!

Except Ken isn't the best character. Magneto is. Basically, if you go up against a good Magneto you need to pick Magneto to beat him. That is what is lame.

Yeah, exactly how I feel about the game. I love the characters and seeing anime-**** Wolverine, Rogue, Gambit with Mega Man, Spider-man, Ryu, Ken, and Jill Valentine is a awesome treat for nerds like us! LOL!

Imbalanced or not, it'll still be fun to play with others with our favorite characters. There will be more average players online than top players, so it'll be fun.

All I know is that a lot of people are going to be pissy when they finally play the game online. You guys think some things are "cheap" in SFIV, wait to you start playing good MvC2 online with good players. Seeing Magneto, Cyclops, Iron Man, etc. dishing out infinites is going to make many of you guys not play it online for very long.

That's the one thing bad about online play. When the competitive community starts to reel itself into the equation, casuals start to feel a bit uneasy. I personally can handle this because I play fighters competitively but I doubt many people here can say the same. On a similar note, this is exactly the reason why I stopped playing MKDS online. Snaking ruined the game for me because I all I wanted was to play the game casually online.

Wow, I finally remembered why I lost interest in the arcades. Damn locals in the arcades and their damn Storms. They're friggin' douches for having the nerve to point who I should actually choose! :lol: It's all coming back to me.

Never played MvC2 (I figured any game with such a massive roster would be wildly unbalanced) but if I enjoy the demo, I'll have no problem paying $15 for it.
