Marvel vs Capcom 2 on XBL and PSN

[bluesilo]

So apparently there was a site made from capcom with the letters (tu4ar.com). This has been discovered to maybe mean "Take you 4 a ride" which is the menu song for Marvel vs Capcom 2. If this is truely truely real, I just shat bricks with excitement. That game is really the only reason I still have my Dreamcast plugged in.

I got a lot of play out of my copy of Marvel Vs. Capcom for my Playstation. A re-done version in HD (hopefully still with sprites!) would be a guaranteed sale from moi.

Rated by ESRB, MvC2 sticks announced, achievements list discovered, teaser site with a huge 2 in the background and reference to title music. Yeah, it's the worst kept secret at the minute. Loads of 2D fighter re-release love atm with this, Garou, KoF 98 UM and KoF 2002.

[TornadoTatsumaki]

Thanks, but i'll stick to my arcade perfect Dreamcast copy.

[ADC]

Ah, MvC2, the game all the neighborhood kids in Santa Maria wanted to steal. Some of them even asked if we had it after we'd already caught them trying to shoplift something else.… When it finally drops on PSN, I'll be here.

While not taken as 100% confirmation, this just adds to the rumors.

[Zeether]

Another reason for me to get a 360.

Also I could sing the select theme all day. :P

[Mateo_home]

In your face overpriced Dreamcast, PS2, and Xbox copies floating around. As long as Capcom doesn't charge a ludicrous amount for this...I'll probably download it anyway.:P

[AbeChinchilla]

I kind of hope it's not an HD Remix... the new sprites for Super Street Fighter II Turbo were not all that great, nor nearly as detailed as the old sprites.

Can't wait to play this again... and roam around with my team of Cammy, Morrigan and Gambit/Storm.

[Sensuifu]

if only the BGM can be customized, just like in the good old days of the DC.

If you already have a PS3, it was rated for PSN too. Better d-pad.

[Legion]

I dunno about that, but the SF HD Remix gave a choice between original and HD sprites so I dunno if there's any real reason to hope that won't be an option with this remake..

[broodwars]

Aside from Soul Caliber (and by relation the Smash Bros. games), I'm not a big fan of fighting games but I did really like what little I played of Marvel vs. Capcom. So if this does end up coming to the PS3, I'll gladly pick this one up...especially if it comes with redrawn sprites and a remastered soundtrack. Just the thought of once again teaching Spider-man that Great Power comes with Great Responsibility via a plasma cannon to the face courteousy of Mega Man makes me happy.

Its unlikely that Capcom will change the BGM of this game which is sad....Oh well i'll download this one when its released sometime this year,i hope there are some improvements in this game..

The best thing to do would be to offer downloadable songs from other Capcom-developed Marvel titles and Capcom series and set what stages would play them, similar to what Soul Calibur IV did by having the old SC1 music available for download.

I doubt Capcom would do that, but it certainly be a cool addition.

+1

Though it doesn't rank that highly on my list of DC fighting faves, it makes for a wicked party game. :)

[Zeether]

The only problem I can see with online play on this is people choosing Cable. :P

Um... Custom Soundtrack?

Guide -> Music Library -> Play, close Guide.

[Hielostar]

This is pretty much a guaranteed sale for me. I don't think my bf will be seeing me for a few days once this comes out. :P

[boogiecat]

Actually a compilation of all Marvel fighting games by Capcom on next gen consoles would be great!

[Nork22]

I concur... especially Marvel Super Heroes.

[juliant59]

JOhnny me and you are going to have to go at it in this. I use cable so everyone bring it on, yea he may be cheap but he can be beat. Cable, Guile, Samurai Combo here we go! :)

[Johnny]

Yeah i hope they'll include that especially X-Men:Children Of The Atom..

[Buster Darkwings]

So is it just the US version of MvC2 that's rare? I got the Jp DC version in a lot with Capcom VS SNK 1 and 2 for 2500 yen total a little while ago.

[Johnny]

So, just over 3 hours to go on the countdown clock which is 2 a.m UK time. Got my supplies ready for it!

[LordGeo]

You missed one other big piece of news: the US PlayStation Network is getting the demo this fracking weekend!

Well, there are aspects of this release I don't really care about, but Capcom went above and beyond putting in pretty much everything everyone who was interested in the game could want. So they get a big thumbs up from me, along with my money over the summer.

[Nork22]

Yay.... something to look forward to on my Friday morning (AU/NZ time). :)

Wow, that's phenomenal. I never got into this one much because I literally play out dozens upon dozens of hours of X-men vs. Street Fighter on the original Sega Saturn (had to import it to even do it), and the MvC2 soundtrack literally made me want to destroy puppies. Combine that with the point system that ensured you dumped hours upon hours you may not have wanted to get all the characters and no decent competition in the pre-online days (friends had moved on since X-men v. SF), and I honestly kinda hated MvC2.

But seriously, if all that's true, it's like they addressed every want I can think of in the effort to really make it the ultimate vs. game.

Can they really release this though? I thought there was MAJOR licensing issues hampering a damn reprint, let alone a retooling like this. Guess Marvel let em for more cash or something.

Correct me if I'm wrong but generally speaking aren't Dreamcast games easier to find in Japan than in the U.S.?

[Legion]

Piiiiiimp. I'll be checking that out for sure.

[boogiecat]

I'll check this one also...I admit this one's a must have!!

[El Santos]

I have to ask if this is a DL do I have to DL it and pay to play it since I got the disc from the original Xbox? I just think they could update a patch for it.

[ADC]

It is DL. You do have to DL it. You do have to pay to play the full game when it drops this summer. You do not have the option of passing on it and keeping on with your Xbox disc. In fact, you should just toss that thing onto the coffee table and set your beer down on it. ;) Anyway, this isn't the same as the Xbox version of the game. They based this version off the Dreamcast version (which is the closest to the arcade version and the least buggy of the home console games) and made a whole lot of modifications to the graphics that make it quite different from the Xbox and PS2 games. And the demo up on PSN is free for the time being.

[Hielostar]

Messed around with the PS3 demo yesterday - realized I will definitely need fight sticks for this. I hated playing it with the PS3 controller. :sweat:

I think its could be adjusted after some time. I know I said the same thing for SF IV but now its fine.

[bluesilo]

The "Demo" was a joke. Forced two player matches with no online and six playable characters? It was nice seeing it on another system and the new menus look slick, but I'll be playing my Dreamcast version until this baby drops in the summer (Hopefully summer = june/july, not august)

[Sensuifu]

yeah, it wasn't impressive, but the original High-res renders (backgrounds) look good. The fighters are off but since it's demo there aren't any options to revert to the original look.

[AbeChinchilla]

ITZ MAHVEL, BAYBEE!!

Got this on the Xbox LIVE Arcade yesterday. Freakin' awesome!

Cammy / Morrigan / Storm team, challenge me!!
