Marvel vs Capcom 2, Trials HD Arcade Discounts at Amazon

ve3tro writes: "Well luckily for you we like to help you save money on your games. Amazon currently has these two popular titles listed for the low price of $10. They are not available for download yet, so the price tag may change when the are available but keep your eyes peeled for the discounts."

Yast3r6115d ago

I wonder if Microsoft will change this when they find out...

Ziriux6115d ago

Well MS can't do anything about really since amazon has it's own legal type of deal.

SRU96006115d ago

This is very cool. I am definitely going to pick up Trials HD for $10.

The demo was awesome, but I just couldn't bring myself to drop the $15 on it (money is tight at the moment).

Jugg4n4ut6115d ago

they cant. amazon buys the codes from microsoft, do they can sell them at any price they choose

Ziriux6115d ago

Exactly, that's how most deals are done.

Yast3r6115d ago

Oh, I'm ignorant to how those sites work, I just started breaching into the territories of online shopping.

Ziriux6115d ago

Well first, it starts with Amazon buying the codes, than, selling them to a user with a %20 discount. So yea MS gets money from Amazon, amazon looses money for selling it cheaper but they gain customers.

RedDeadLB6115d ago

That's good news for people who actually buy these kind of things (Arcade games)

Ziriux6115d ago

Yea, even if one of the games isn't anything special. I still haven't bought Marvel vs Capcom, so this is great.

Ve3tro6115d ago

I've been tempted to buy it online but didn't since I found the trial a little hard. I'll give it another go though just incase I do buy.

mrblacknut6115d ago (Edited 6115d ago )

Trials HD has been so worth the asking price it currently is. The races and chellenges are a blast. The other good thing is sharing user created tracks with your friends. PLAY THE FREE DEMO IT WILL HELP YOU DECIDED QUICKLY THAT IT IS WORTH IT. You want to save $5, that is always good too. This game has been an unexpected suprise. Shadow Complex next week.

SRU96006115d ago (Edited 6115d ago )

Yeah, the Trials demo is awesome, I just need that extra 5 bux. lol

I can't wait for Shadow Complex. That game is almost sure to rule.

MrWegman6114d ago

It was listed at $10, but was not available to purchase (that was Friday) now Saturday the price is $15 and is available- so I am sure amazon originally thought the game was going to be 10 bucks then raised their price when the price was set on LIVE... I think I will purchase Trials via Xbox Live even for $15...

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.

Absonite1695d ago

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

sourOG1695d 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”.

PurpHerbison1695d ago (Edited 1695d 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.

RedDevils1695d ago

You can always balance my bank account.

Teflon021695d ago

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

Lexreborn21695d 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.

CrimsonWing691695d ago (Edited 1695d 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_BLM1694d 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).

Teflon021695d ago

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

WiiU-Dude1695d ago

I'm very interested in this.

Vandamme211695d ago

Why not just make a new game

CrimsonWing691695d ago

Well, they uh… tried that already and…

BlaqMagiq11695d ago

They did. And it was extremely mediocre.

PurpHerbison1693d 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.

FallenAngel19841695d 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

CosmicTurtle1695d 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.

Godmars2901695d 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.
