ESRB listing shows Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the PS3

by Alan Tsang on Oct 13th 2008 12:15PM

We've got bad news for these eBay sellers -- a poster on NeoGAF noticed that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 has been rated for both the PS3 and Xbox 360. Presumably, the title will be a downloadable one on the PS Store and XBLA. The ESRB has been a good source of leaks in the past, so we have no reason believe otherwise in this instance.

With the a total of 56 playable characters in the game spanning two vast fictional universes, hopefully Capcom doesn't plan on charging us $1.99 per character download.

If it has playable online versus, I'm in. Otherwise, I'll play my upscaled PS2 copy.

I doubt anybody would ever play it. My friends were regular tournament players who would go to Evo each year and would vouch that any lag in the game would make serious play be out of the question with a large set of characters.

For those who aren't die-hard then online would be great.

Wow, doubly gay because A: You're playing the Playstation version instead of selling it and buying like five DCs with the $$, and B: You're upscaling low-res sprites.

Yeah, if it's not DC/arcade some people will DL but the community won't care when it's so cheap to get into the game already.

Beats going on Ebay at least.

Yeah, sheesh, Buy It Now for $600?!?!? Granted it's factory sealed, but dang!

This is a God-send for 40GB owners. Thank you Capcom.

yeah but im a 60gb owner with an original copy, all this does is maybe lower its worth?

I never understand why people think publishers would care about the used game market.

If there's something like later downloadable character patches or some enhancement I'll get it but otherwise I'm fine with my upscaled PS2 version. Make Marvel vs. Capcom 3 damn it! or DC versus Capcom (wishful thinking)

Megaton?

wow this is gonna be huge! I've never gotten the pleasure of playing this so I'll surely buy it (if the price is right) but like I said I know this'll be huge...

OMFG!

I hope they release this with the new Vs. Series...that would be really cool.

I also hope they add some new Characters like Strider Hien, Phoenix etc...
(stuff we haven't seen yet)
But thats wishful thinking, but what else can i do?

for the love of god please be the dreamcast version. or a direct port of the arcade version.(same thing right?)

Pretty good!! Now to wait for SF3 3rd Strike

Patience is a virtua Vincent...

They should make a PS3 Fanboy Vs. Xbox Fanboy.............Huh? Huh?

Am i the only person who realises that this is a PS2 game being offered for download?! Across all PS3 systems! Including ones without BC!

It's probably the arcade version, and it's not like it's a very graphically complicated game, anyway.

the ps2 version is gimped compared to the arcade/dreamcast version I hope its not the ps2 version!

Thanks I just came pissed and shat my pants.

Weird, I just shat your pants also!

i hope it has online

OMG!!! this is fantastic

AWESOME! Can't wait...I just wish it was MvC1. Number two was sorta fruity with the 3D backgrounds and strange music.."I'm going to take you inside of me!" WTF?

Please bring the dreamcast or arcade version!!!!!

I'm relatively new to this site, and I usually read annonymously. Can someone explain to me why the ps2 version is going for so much on ebay? Thanks.

Its a rare game and has a large fan base. I still have my original copy for Dreamcast.

@Ron -

I still have the Dreamcast version as well. I believe the Japanese version of the game allowed for online play with it too (not saying anyone is still playing that on the DC). If this is a straight port, no need to spend any money here.

This could be bigger than we expect. Offering this as a downloadable game they could put in some new characters as addons for a couple bucks adding to the 56 character roster hey they even can add a new sub boss in there if they want. Great news but I already have a backup copy of it for dreamcast and a capcom collection disc that has mvc2 cvs2 sf3ts pf ss2t all on one disc, and I can switch music between the the games. So if there not offering anything new ill pass.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 in glorious HD? SOLD!

I'll still not be selling my copy, but I may purchase this one if true and if the price is right.

This is good.
Am I the only one, though, that likes the 1st better? It just felt more fun...

i just left a mess in my pants...

PSN: VIPJIGGA

no not that mess, a different type of mess. Or at least a combination.

$500 for a game? right...

This is the GREATEST ARTICLE I HAVE EVER READ!!!!!

It probably won't be the PS2 version, as Sony has "said" that there will never be PS2 Classics for download. I would make a guess that this is an arcade version similar to MKII on the PSN.

HOLY shiiiiittttt this is a the greatest news i ever heard!!!! i cant waITT

sorry for being a spaz but im really happy... i saw this game at the store for 60 bucks like 4 years ago and didnt have enough money at the time to get it.. and after that i was sooo pissed that i didnt get it... but this this is just soo epic

Would ya believe I just won this game last week on ebay??? Well, I guess I'll try to put it back up for auction once it arrives (if it arrives).

It's too good to be true! *Tear*

YES!! Freakin sweeettt. My copy got stolen. I was thinkin about buying a used copy for 100$ just yesterday! Online would be cool, but I agree this game is rather fast for lag. SF3 online and downloadable baby!!!

Ummm...stop complaining or even talking about the outrageous prices on ebay...GET A DREAMCAST AND GET THE DREAMCAST VERSION!!! sheesh! it's not like there's no other way to play it or that this is going to be the first way to play it in years. Besides the Dreamcast version is the best, you can get a Dreamcast on ebay for like 20 bucks plus MvC2 is like 10-20 (20 being the most, probably new) bucks. The only thing that would make this version (if it ever comes out) better would be HD support (I don't even have an HDTV but it's awesome for the people that have it), online play is useless in fighting games (it's boring as hell) but it's the trend for people because of it doesn't have online play it's not good (hahahaa!!!) but yeah whatever.
