Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for XBLA/PSN? News

14 October, 2008

Capcom may be working on an Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network version of Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

That's according to NeoGAF regulars who spotted an ESRB rating for the title, which must have been removed since then, unless we've gone blind.

Adding weight to their claims are posters citing an icon and listing for the game on PartnerNet, the NDA-protected online service accessible through Xbox 360 debug units.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2, which pits comic heroes like Wolverine against virtual fighters like Ryu, was great on the Dreamcast, but suffered in translation to other formats, so a return would be welcome - especially if it's given the kind of care attention meted out to Street Fighter.

I never liked the Street Fighter games (I know, I know...) but I loved Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes on the Dreamcast. I'd definitely consider buying this again provided it's reasonably priced. I'd go for the PS3 version though as it has a vastly superior D-pad to the Xbox 360.

Wake me up when they release Capcom vs SNK 2, or SF 3rd strike.

Birdseye Potatoe ROFLZ! I remember my friend bought the game, we went back to his house, booted it up.... two of us went red hearing that. I think he thought it was a mistake and wanted to bring it back.

Even though I suck at Fighters, this could be my next XBLA buy. Loved the game on DC.

If that's true I will be SO happy, right now I'm stuck with emulation through Chankast (my DC bit the dust long ago!).

Wahooo! I've been after this for my Dreamcast ever since I stupidily sold it. But the eBay prices are extortionate. Please let this be true!

Have u tried the tape trick? it worked for my ps2 cd read problem.
Just place 2 strips of 1nch tape as close to the center as u can, if that don't work try 4 pieces.

like this http://www.geocities.com/sonicquestcomic...

Still if this game does come out on XBLA and PSN thats good news, and hopefully we can get other 2d fighters too.
