Is Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Coming To PS3/360?

Yeah, it probably is. Why would anyone take pre-orders for a special edition MVC2 joystick if it wasn't?

Pardon me, sir, but where is your curly mustache at?
Pardon me, sir, but where is your curly mustache at?
Destructoid was sent an interesting tidbit of info on the surfacing of a MadCatz-manufactured "Marvel vs Capcom Tournament Edition Arcade Stick" in the database of shopto.net, a UK-focused online retailer. The description goes on to sound like it's the same design as the 360 version of the TE stick that MadCatz put out alongside Street Fighter IV, with Sanwa parts, a headset port, USB connections, and, of course, the price.

While the item name doesn't specifically drop MvC2, the description does:
The official Marvel VS Capcom 2 Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition controller for Xbox 360 was designed for fighting game fans to recreate the quality, gameplay and precision found in Japanese arcades. Using the exact Sanwa joystick and 30mm buttons found in official Japanese arcade machines, along with realistic spacing and an eight-button layout, the Marvel VS Capcom 2 Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition brings the true arcade experience right into your home. Featuring the same award winning layout of the Tournament Edition stick, along with official Marvel and Capcom character artwork, the MVC2 FightStick TE is the perfect compliment to the hectic fast paced combat. With separate turbo settings for each button and the best components, prepare yourself for hours of competition, no quarters necessary.
Added to the ESRB rating leak that mentioned MvC2 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 back in October, it makes for a pretty compelling--if unconfirmed--package. Could Marvel and Capcom have re-teamed for a re-release? Would they really release a joystick around a downloadable release? Would Capcom really re-team with Marvel without also making a deal that included new comic book crossover fighting games in the future? Guess we'll have to wait and see. Capcom's having an event in the relatively near future. Perhaps some news on this topic will come out of that event, but obviously nothing official has been made officially official at this time.

[UPDATE] Armor42 pointed out in the comments that achievements for this game have surfaced over at X360A. While that's still not enough to call it "confirmed" or whatever... that's a pretty clear sign that this is happening.

Also, I'm required by law to embed this video whenever MvC2 is mentioned:

Was hoping for an HD remix of MvC but I guess this will do. Damn I need to get a good arcade stick.

My body literally contorts with the force of the orgasms Marvel vs. Capcom 2 gives me so I am very happy about this except for the fact that I am not on Live :(
That video is everything that is great about the game's upper tier players, by the way.

MvC2 on 360, I was dreaming about this.  Actually played it in an arcade fairly recently...forgot how awesome it was to play with a real joystick.

If Capcom and Mavel teamed up again, and they took the new Street Fighter 4 engine to make a new MVC, I am going to be looking for the four horsemen cause god would never allow something so fucking awsome happen again!

I really just want this damn game to come out already! MvC is my favorite 2D fighting franchise and I'd kill to have it on XBLA/PSN. I dusted off my copy of MvC and rocked some Dreamcast earlier this week...tis was a good time!

Ha! Awesome. One of my favourite fighters of all time (up there next to SC) Also gives me one less reason to have the _old_ X-Box kicking about.

The reason I bought a Dreamcast was this game!  Seeing how this has not been able to make it on MAME and my custom built arcade machine is sad without it, this will be a day one purchase!

I wonder if the guy from the video is also a fan of Persona 4's Mustache Fiber?

The reason I'm excited about this is because it means more arcade sticks will be available for purchase.

I haven't played that since Dreamcast. I'd love to give it another go but with SF4 I dunno if I got another fighter in me just yet.

Not to dissect what is clearly nonsense too much, but I'm pretty sure being "so Pringles" is a bad thing.

I hope it's updated version instead of just a port, since they're planning on shipping out these tourney sticks for it. But either ways I'm getting it as soon as it comes out, hopefully.

That video is pure OLD SCHOOL BABY!!!  Nice to see this is "happening" since I have heard wondrous things about this arcade game although I got the Xbox version a while back but with an arcade stick, which I have, it should be better.

Because I don't have a dreamcast, I don't play marvel 2... . If it comes out on XBLA then i'm definately playing it.. Glad I did end up getting sticks.. Its turning out to be a good investment with all these awesome fighting games coming back out.

"Well that's pretty cool, if it's real. I mean, copies of the game on the 360 and the PS2 run from about $150 to $300... that's pretty crazy.I just hope they won't mess it up 'cause it's an Arcade release"
Copies are more so $90-$100.

This better not just be a port, It better be in full screen HD. I will deff buy it either way though. Playing it online will be awesome.
