The save on the SD still gets moved back to the Wii's flash memory it's not really running off the SD card.

"Marvel vs Capcom 2 is for the hardcore players, not casual wii gamers "

O yeh coz none of us "wii owners" own street fighter 4 on our ps3's or anything hey?? Fool

ArsArcanum6151d ago

Marvel vs Capcom 2 is for the hardcore players, not casual wii gamers

qface646151d ago

once again another dumb comment
i would have downloaded it for the wii if it was available but i don't really care since i have a ps3 and 3660 as well

EYEamNUMBER16151d ago

not all gamers on the wii are casual gamers

heck while im at it could you even define what a casual and hardcore player is?

ArsArcanum6151d ago

okok i see ur point

I'm just saying that gamers that only own a wii are more likely to be casual players

Gamers that own a wii + ps3 or wii + 360 or all 3, would more than likely not buy a wii version of Marvel vs Capcom 2 (due to the better upscaled version on the ps3 or 360, not to mention better controllers for the game)

therefore the game would not sell at all on the wii (thats my opinion anyway)

EYEamNUMBER16151d ago

i actually bought my wii first before i got a ps3 and i enjoyed it so much when i just had the wii only still do to this day

actually i would choose the wii version any day because after what capcom did to street fighter 2 the HD remix no thanks i don't wanna take another risk

i honestly preferred the original over the hd remix

Smacktard6151d ago

@2.4

But... but... that's impossible! Because uh... HD Remix has better graphics than the original! so THEREFORE it is better! Duh.

how the hell would they play it with the wii controller?! not everybody has a classic controller. are they gonna do an actual jumping uppercut for a shoryuken! lol

ChickeyCantor6151d ago

It could still be considered as VC game, so those want to play it would need a classic controller to begin with.

But its okai, i also have a Ps3 =D

N4g_null6151d ago

It's a Wiiware game and it could just get a straight port from the dreamcast if they wanted to. I'm wondering if this will even sell on the HD console after the beat down SF2 HD remix got.

I got my samshow down on a disk, my snk collections, and my SF VC games along with king of the fighter and guilty gear. I don't know but that's looking pretty hardcore to me.

Oh yeah you guys forget some of us have just a PC and Wii set up so that we can get the best of both worlds. The HD console are fine but I'm not getting one till they make some thing I want. I have them at work that is all I need.

Another thing is TvsC is better than that game any way.

VaeVictus6151d ago

Yet again. Guess you'll just have to go back to ravin rabbids or dishwashing mama.

SinnedNogara6150d ago

Yeah, I'll go back to MadWorld and Resident Evil 4. All kids under 4 play that *sarcasm*

If they increase the file limit and use the SD Card, I guess they can do it. What they need to do is have something to take all the Wii save data into the SD Card, and get Marvel vs. Capcom into the main Wii memory. I guess if they tricked it like that (maybe, IDK)

-Mezzo-6151d ago

Guys what up with all this wii sucks stuff, even though i am not a Wii fan but i certainly do not go on to say this/that console sucks.

Steve0076151d ago

This will never end, All this stupid stuff will be carried by stupid people to the next many Generations to come.

VaeVictus6151d ago

If the shoe fits, you have to wear it. I usually buy new games every couple of weeks, depending on release schedules or deals on used games. Whether I'm in Best Buy, Game Stop or Wal Mart, I will browse the video game selections of the two consoles I own (PS3, 360) to see if I can find a deal or a game I passed up on. Because I am one of "those people" who has owned every 'major console' released since the NES days, I look for a reason to buy a Wii.

I go down the Wii aisle and view the software offerings. It is a dismal, pathetic display of trash and shovelware. How this system continues to sell with it's paltry software is truly beyond me. I try to give it a chance, but it fails time and again.

SpoonyRedMage6151d ago

Well you're looking in the wrong place, go to Gamestop or any other Games shops you guys have(I'm English) and look there.

Walmart and stuff tend to just stock the casual stuff, it's the same here.

Smacktard6151d ago

VaeVictus: It has more good exclusives than the 360, anyways. What have you learned about judging a book by its cover? You can't just walk down an aisle and look at some box covers. You'll get the wrong idea. Go to metacritic and check out the games with good ratings, read up a bit about them, and then I'm sure you'll find out that "de Blob" isn't as casual and bad as you once thought.

VaeVictus6151d ago

I know you are smoking crack now. The Jaguar has better exclusives than the Wii. A box of crayons has better games than the Wii.

Face it, the Wii sucks. This is a case where judging a book by it's cover (software) is appropriate.

SinnedNogara6150d ago

The Jaguar had better games than the Wii?? Are you serious??

That is why the Jaguar failed (or one of the reasons). You are saying Alien vs. Predator is better than Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, Resident Evil 4, MadWorld??

Get a brain.

20 Years Ago, Marvel vs Capcom 2 Delivered a Legendary Crossover

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.

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.

Absonite1624d ago

Balance? MvC2?! It was totally batshit unbalanced, but that's what made it fun.

sourOG1624d ago

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”.

PurpHerbison1624d ago (Edited 1624d ago )

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.

RedDevils1624d ago

You can always balance my bank account.

Teflon021624d ago

No one cares about balance in MvC2. Games all about being unbalanced lol. If it was, it likely wouldn't be good

Lexreborn21624d ago

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.

CrimsonWing691624d ago (Edited 1624d ago )

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.

KwietStorm_BLM1623d ago

Balanced... Storm, Sentinel and Magneto breathe a sigh of relief.

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).

Teflon021624d ago

Seeing the Alpha games storyline is being promoted in SFV, with all the mainline titles, it really should get one

WiiU-Dude1624d ago

I'm very interested in this.

Vandamme211624d ago

Why not just make a new game

CrimsonWing691624d ago

Well, they uh… tried that already and…

BlaqMagiq11624d ago

They did. And it was extremely mediocre.

PurpHerbison1622d ago

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.

FallenAngel19841624d ago

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

CosmicTurtle1624d ago

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.

Godmars2901624d ago

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.
