Marvel vs. Capcom 2 XBLA: July 29
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'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.

My local Gamestop has been gettin in random SF4 arcade sticks in. Great time to pick one up. Already baught the point card to download MvC2. "Wanna take you for a ride"
$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.
Really wish people would stop swooning over blatent cash-ins.
Capcom need to focus on their new IPs rather than whoring out their old games. TMNT: TIT and Monkey Island are other prime examples... it's the same game with updated graphics! Don't support these developers, instead support fresh and interesting games such as 'Splosion Man and Shadow Complex!
XBLA has a great line up (better than the PSN) and it would be a crying shame for people to give their hard earned money to the publishers/developers doing NOTHING new.

" @onlineatron said:I agree online, I would gladly pay 15 dollars to play classic games like MvC 2 and TMNT on glorious HD. Besides, if you are sweating over 15 dollars I think the last thing you should worry about is how much companies are charging for games. The only thing I didn't agree with is the rumor that Shadow Complex will be 2400 points. Now THAT is a cash grab if i've ever seen one."What kind of company, in their right mind, would stop using franchises that make awesome games and sales ?Really wish people would stop swooning over blatent cash-ins.

/rantGee, I really wish I could play MvC 2 without it looking shitty on my big TV that didn't exist 10 years ago, or I wish I could play it online against real people because arcades are dead.Oh wait it's coming for XBLA ?! for only 15 bucks ?! Nah, I'm not gonna get it because I have a moral integrity and I hate corporations. Forget my personal happiness !"
" 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. "I just go rid of my Dreamcast a few months ago, and my MvC2 with it, so I'm looking forward to having that again. Garou as well. I know it's not a part of Summer of Arcade, but my copy of Garou hasn't worked in years. Shadow Complex and 'Splosioin Man also have me intrigued. I've never played any of the Monkey Island games, and I'll probably try that one. Don't remember playing Turtes in Time much before, but I'll probably check out the demo at least. And I definitely want BlazBlue!
Pretty much common sense as to what was going to be released when during the Summer of Arcade, but it sure is a nice surprise that Shadow Complex is only 1200 points...So I can get that and MVC2 for half the price of a normal retail game, yummy!

Holy cow, really?! Man, I might pick up Shadow complex then if it's only 1200. I could of sworn I heard the dev say on E3 that it's gonna be around 2400 points though.
