Marvel vs. Capcom 2 XBLA: July 29

Mag-effin'-neto.

Capcom has announced that its upcoming digitally downloadable version of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will be available on Xbox Live Arcade on July 29. This ends our long, national nightmare, which was peppered with speculation and incorrect dates for this beloved fighting game.

No PlayStation 3 release date was announced, and Capcom claims that date will be announced "soon." Considering the game is part of Microsoft's Summer of Arcade promotion, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bit of a gap between the 360 and PS3 releases.

Speaking of the Summer of Arcade thing, it kicks off the previous week, July 22, and will also include Shadow Complex, 'Splosion Man, TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-shelled, Trials HD, and Monkey Island Special Edition.

I think Monkey Island, and maybe Splosion Man are the only two things on that list that are interesting to me.

Hmm least we cleared that up. I wonder if the rumors of the MvsC2 joy pads are true.

The only two I'm not interested in are Trials HD and 'Splosion Man.

Crap. I have no money.

I'm dissapointed. This game was a PS2 and arcade exclusive (from what I know of). And they turn around and dis Sony like that? C'mon it's not that hard to have a simultaneous release Capcom. You've done it for Street Fighter. Well, they'll probably release it the following thursday like all PSN games.

@ch13696:
What are you talking about? The game was out on the Dreamcast after the arcade and is the best home version which is the one they are bringing to the PSN and XBLA. Also the PS2 and XBOX versions sucked.

I am getting this day one-I loved the original but never got the chance to play MvC2.

Capcom Europe has the Playstation 3 version listed as july 29th as well.

I don't think MISE is part of Summer of Arcade, but it should be.

Oh crap. I need to buy a Xbox points card. Maybe two.

$15 price tag makes it a hard decision for me. I have it on the Dreamcast and really played it to death. If it was $10 i would be all for it, but at $15 I don't think i miss it enough.

Yeah! But this series is so insane that I may pass this one. Still, a trial will be downloaded...

No thanks @ MvC2, as I already have the Dreamcast version... and if I want to play online, well, I'll just play the best online fighting game ever made: BlazBlue

I might have to pick-up Shadow Complex, Monkey Island, and TMNT though.
