Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Heading to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network

This is SO pringles!

for some reason im drawn to re-released fighting games on xbla: soulcalibur, UMK3, Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix...still waiting for Killer Instinct to hit XBLA

I'm really hoping the next great fighting game that Capcom will annouced for PSN & XBLA will be Street Fighter III

Finally!

"Very good!Now when will they make that sequel...."

im gonna take this for a ride

Dude there will never be a sequel since Capcom doesn't have the license to marvel anymore. Just a release of it with online play is enough for me. The fighting game drought is over wooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!Pringles baybeee!!!!make it rain!!!!!!!"

"If they can't figure out how to have lag free online matches in the 'tame' fighting games, how are they going to do it in a crazy one like this? License Kai or something? ;p"

Here's an explosion of info in regards to the PS3 Demo!

This Thursday, April 30, PlayStation Network users will enjoy a free, exclusive MVC2 demo! No need to purchase another game, just download it straight to your PS3 and get ready for some triple tag team action (A big thank you goes out to Rommel Hernandez who helped make this exclusive demo possible).

Here are the details of the demo:

• Two-player local matches
• Six available characters – Ryu, Chun-Li, Strider, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Wolverine
• Seven selectable environments
• Upscaled 1080p graphics
• Widescreen or 4:3 aspect ratio
• Two graphic filter options for character sprites
• And other cool options to check out

My life now has meaning!

"What do you mean by 'tame' fighting games?"

"By tame I mean ones without super fast matches with really big combos and lots of projectiles flying around."

I used to have this on the original XBOX. Was fun to play because of all the crazynes, but not really a good beat 'em up.

....and now i have to find a new pair of pants

They can't handle Street Fighter 4, that's terrible with lag, I usually get kicked before a match even starts.

sweet another arcade game to add to my rather small collection of XBLA games

Sweet, I sold my dreamcast copy for around 40 bucks a few months ago.

Is it worth $20?  Probably by next year, the downloadable games will cost $30. Anyone else seeing the upward trend on these damn XBL games?  I think I'm going to have to wait until the discount hits, so I won't support these ghouls.

According to the Kotaku story, it will only be $15

I want to take you for a ride!!! As horrible as that is, and not too fond of the game itself...I can't get it out of my head.

I think i will try this game out, even if I do suck at fighting games.

HAAAAAADOUK-*snik*

FUCK THE KNICKS!
Best news ever.

UGHH, damn you Capcom!

No, I refuse to buy this! Every time a new XBLA fight game comes out, I have to have it. But I (somehow) resisted purchasing SFIIHDR, so I think I can resist this one as well.

I'll just be sticking to SF IV thank you very much.

Looks like the demo is exclusive to PSN.

Oh Capcom, your so pringles.

Time to reveal dat Mango Sentinel, and pull out my curly mustache so I can make it rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DJ Qbert and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 oh fuck yeah.

Yup, the demo is exclusive to PSN. Probably to make up for the 360 having the exclusive beta for SSFIIHDR. Glad to hear it's only $15. Hell they could of charged $30, I wouldn't care. I want this and it will be mine. Oh yes....it will be mine.

This was awesome on the ps2 and it will be awesome again im sure . Im sold.

To those who might be confused with the knicks, pringles, and mahvel comments just watch this video.  Then after this you will understand...and laugh.

OMG FINALLY!

Hmmm... Me thinks Sven has a problem with the Knicks.

IM gonna take you for a riddddeeeee!!!!!!

Well, I do like me some marvel... and I did play the shit out of SSFT2HDR, so this seems like my kind of game.

even more happy i decided not to pay $60 dollars for SFIV

Me is happy

Can't wait. I've only played the game for about 10 minutes in an arcade a very long time ago and I would love to actually play it some more.

The thing that is stupid and sucks about this is that I have bought this game twice for two other platforms.

CHOICE!

Never really got around to play the Marvel vs Capcom games, which is frustrating because they always seem like such great games so I am defiantly interested in this.

FUUUUUUUUUUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSS

Anyone who thinks an HD Remix of this game is going to happen is just plain stupid. Said it before i'll say it again, as much as i'd love one, 50+ characters IS SIMPLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Please get it out of your simple brains, that many frames of animation simply will not happen on a low budget, and on a high budget it's simply not going to pull a profit so it's not going to happen.

Same goes for Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, too many characters for a low budget, not enough profit potential for a higher budget remake.

Don't get me wrong, I want one as much as the next guy but anyone who seriously thinks it's going to actually happen is totally kidding themselves.

As for this, i've been happy with my PS2 version, I got it new back when it actually came out, but the one thing it lacks is online play which this will totally remedy provided the net code
is decent, that and I can use my SFIV TE stick with it :D So all good. Definate purchase from me I don't care if it's like 1600 points.


Edit: MvC3 however is actually a distinct possibility now, sure Capcom might not have the Marvel license anymore, but if they weren't on friendly terms then MvC2 wouldn't be getting an XBLA release as Marvel would have blocked it. Both sides have expressed interest in an MvC3 as well but both sides are saying there are no current plans, but it's something they would like to happen. So for now it's a no, but if it does happen it won't come as a huge surprise.

not the best kept secret of the year but one of the most welcome

I am super excited for this to finally be official and I'm also extremely surprised that they're only charging $15 for it...it's going to be an absolute steal at that price!

Nice. Wouldn't mind trying out some Marvel VS Capcom.

Awesome!

trophies??

Super stoked about this, I never got to play it before and I've always wanted to. To think, I nearly spent almost 80 bucks on the PS2 version.

Has anyone noticed that games with super heroes in them seems to be a theme this Summer?

YES!  This is great news.
