Marvel vs Capcom coming to 360 and PS3? Is a new Warhawk game going to be set in space? Will the DSi have Virtual Console service?
Everyone is trying the shared universe thing these days, but Marvel and Capcom were mashing up their most beloved characters decades ago. Perhaps their best crossover effort was Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, which was released on the PlayStation 2 & Xbox on Nov. 19, 2002, in North America. Previous releases took place in arcades and on Sega’s beloved but ill-fated Dreamcast console. Later releases came out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360’s digital storefronts.
Former employees of Backbone Entertainment have formed a new company called Digital Eclipse. On Twitter studio head Mike Mika confirmed they would love to help the fans. In addition to having ported MvC 2 before, the studio has worked with Disney on re-releases of the Disney Afternoon Collection, Aladdin and The Lion King. Legions of fans are waiting for Marvel vs. Capcom 2 to take them for one more ride.
Arcade1Up reveals how the company was able to bring back the retro fighting game, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, with brand-new arcade cabinets.
The PlayStation Brahs:
"YouTube Maximilian Dood’s ‘#FREEMVC2’ campaign went big time viral as it spread like wildfire on social media. The goal? To get the attention of Disney and Capcom to bring back the greatness of Marvel vs Capcom 2 to modern consoles. Good news, as Capcom and Disney have had some discussions regarding the matter."
Please work it out. I have fond memories of this fighter game. Not to mention the sequels just aren't as balanced as this game was.
I laughed hard at balance lol. It is completely f***ing broken. Balance isn’t what people are looking for. Mk11 was the most balanced MK ever and the overall consensus was “restrictive and boring”.
For the noobs and average players it can be seen as balanced but at the highest competitive level it is absolutely broken. There was a ratio mod released recently that is actually pretty interesting and allows way more of the cast to see some play.
No one cares about balance in MvC2. Games all about being unbalanced lol. If it was, it likely wouldn't be good
MvC2 is so unbalanced pros make special brackets to limit the amount of clone teams this game has at high levels. Even now Justin Wong and others have only been playing with the character cost format to make it interesting.
Did you ever play as Cable or play someone else who was using Cable? This is an incredibly unbalanced game and honestly some of the most fun is making a redonkulous team and just clapping cheeks.
I really enjoyed the game on Dreamcast.
A lot less when it was later re-released on newer systems, because I believe all characters were already unlocked instead of you playing to unlock them. The SP experience on those re-releases was just ‘less’ than the Dreamcast version, which was a bit disappointing.
Would love a proper HD remake/remaster, if given the care & love it deserves (instead of a quick cash-grab with a mediocre port).
Would also love to see Capcom release a FullHD port/renaster/remake of Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max (psp).
Seeing the Alpha games storyline is being promoted in SFV, with all the mainline titles, it really should get one
Not sure what you mean though. Marvel 3 was pretty damn good and Marvel Infinite was too. Infinite just suffered from poor graphics but the gameplay and netcode was actually pretty solid.
I want them to rerelease the entire Marvel vs Capcom series on modern platforms, from X:Men Children of the Atom to Marvel vs Capcom 2
I’d also love for the next Marvel vs Capcom title to live up to its series legacy rather than being a disappointment like Infinite
I said the same thing without seeing your comment. X-Men vs Street Fighter and MSH were stunning games. They look great to this day.
I did not mind MvC3 and ultimate but the last entry was dire.
And I want them to go back to 2D - know THAT'S not happening!
Nice compromise would be something stylized towards what Guilty Gear does than their own attempts at 3D.
Marvel Vs Capcom 2? Yes fricking please!
Loved Warhawk so I game based on that is alright by me!
MvC2 HD would be sweet, and so would Warhawk!!
I kinda hope that they dont do VC on DSi...then i will have a reason to buy my third DS
can somebody start a rumor Capcom vs. Namco please?
i would love my heihachi spanking chun-li and king dismantle ryu!
marvel vs. capcom ps3 :)
Holy Crap! I really want Marvel Vs. Capcom on XBLA. That would totaly kick ass
