ESRB rates Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for PS3, Xbox 360

by Ross Miller { Oct 13th 2008 at 2:00PM }

A NeoGAF member who hobbies as ESRB archive scavenger has stumbled upon an update for Marvel vs. Capcom 2 that lists the game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game, a frenetic 3-on-3 arcade bralwer from 2000 (and probably one of the main reasons you keep a Sega Dreamcast around, assuming you didn't pick up the PS2 or Xbox One version), seems like a perfect fit for Xbox Live Arcade or PS Network. We've reached out to Capcom for more information.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

"I'm gonna take you for a ride!"

Fanboy @ Oct 13th 2008 2:19PM

wow now that brought back some memories...

kaneda @ Oct 13th 2008 2:55PM

Sounds more like "Gonna take a phone booth ride"

MowDownJoe @ Oct 13th 2008 2:05PM

I'm not one to swear, but the occasion calls for it:

FUCK YEAH!

Capcom has recently made me their bitch in so many ways it's not even funny any more!

Just Mr ESC. @ Oct 13th 2008 7:17PM

Yesh,YESH!!

I really suck at this game but that nevwer stoped me from playing it.Now that is going to be worst than MK online since there are guys that their lives are all around this game.

Capcom Pls no online achievements or at least reasonable ones.

DangerMouse @ Oct 13th 2008 2:07PM

holy shit!

s.mario @ Oct 13th 2008 2:10PM

Does this mean i'll be able to buy a PS2 copy on e-Bay for under $100?

Yourself @ Oct 13th 2008 2:12PM

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, hopefully it will cause a degradation in value. However, things never actually work that way, because "it's still a collector's item!"

josh @ Oct 15th 2008 3:37PM

haha i have the ps2 version.... :D i sell it to you for hmmmm $300.00 is in good condition hardly any scratches original box and menu.. i still have the original ps2 you know the one that read the blue discs lol..

Jimiisama @ Oct 14th 2008 8:51PM

The Dreamcast version is better anyway.

SexyKittyKat2U @ Oct 13th 2008 2:10PM

ZOMG!

EPIC WIN!

Other random gaming cliches developed over the years...

Thank You Capcom!

Superstar90 @ Oct 13th 2008 2:11PM

Omg if this comes out I will pay 60$ for it even if it's not updated and is only a xbla game!
BEST fighting game ever!!!!!

antV @ Oct 13th 2008 2:11PM

So does this mean that those bastard sons of whores @microsoft are finally gonna make the xbox version compatible w x360?

canher @ Oct 13th 2008 2:16PM

well i dunno how well it ran but mvc2 is on the backwards compatibility list.

WHERE THE HELL IS SNK VS CAPCOM 2??????? ive been waiting since the beginning of the xbox360 lifecycle! and now they stopped the program, argh

Sean @ Oct 13th 2008 2:18PM

I hope its the console version not the arcade version of the game(ie the store so you can buy all the characters,alter uniforms, and character art) while keeping it arcade perfect, so what im basically asking is just remake the dreamcast version not the ps2 or xbox version since they are a little slower

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Oct 13th 2008 2:58PM

Why would they if they can just make you buy the new version?

antV @ Oct 13th 2008 3:33PM

Canher:
it runs like crap on the 360, there's slowdown and garbled characters, It's on the list, but I'd hardly call it 'compatible'

Wildside @ Oct 13th 2008 2:14PM

i got it used on the PS2, too bad it glitches n i cant always finish the arcade.

i dont want to rude or anything, but ive been playing MUGEN a lot more n almost forgot i had MvC2. Already have over 400 chars.

FOXHOUND @ Oct 13th 2008 6:18PM

Yeah, but it's nice to have a version of the game that can't be argued for legality. ;D

Now to find a decent arcade stick to use with this game these days...

Nigeria @ Oct 13th 2008 2:19PM

If it's online enabled I'll probably buy, but my friend gave me his DC version ages ago, and I've got this on the Xbox already. So maybe I won't.

Hopefully it won't have those ugly borders that most XBLA ports seem afflicted with.

Fanboy @ Oct 13th 2008 2:22PM

Wow you hit the nail on the head with "probably one of the main reasons you keep a Sega Dreamcast around"

MVC2 is one of the best fighting games ever...

MowDownJoe @ Oct 13th 2008 2:32PM

Indeed. I have no idea why I gave mine away, especially since I enjoyed Power Stone 2 and MVC2 WAAAY too much.

Chin-Poh @ Oct 13th 2008 4:00PM

Oh, I almost forgot about Power Stone, that isn't on PSN/XBLA is it? I'd rather have that than MVC2! : )

Edog Lost @ Oct 13th 2008 2:22PM

I wonder if this means Capcom was able to settle their licensing problems with Marvel. If they are re-releasing the PS2 version of the game, would that leave potential for a MvC3?

iFester @ Oct 13th 2008 2:34PM

Good question. In lieu of MK vs. DC Universe, Marvel might just get back into a licensing agreement with Capcom to create more Marvel fighting games. A MvC3 using the Street Fighter IV engine would be interesting.

I'll be on this game like a fly on shit if they release it.

kaneda @ Oct 13th 2008 3:05PM

There is always Tatsunoko vs Capcom coming to Wii eventually (at least in Japan, but my modded Wii isn't particular).

heyo007 @ Oct 13th 2008 2:30PM

awesome! i just whipped out my old dc copy and started playing this yesterday in preparation for Tatsunoko vs Capcom (importing from play-asia). Great game and a must buy for me if it comes to, either, PSN or Live.

heyo007 @ Oct 13th 2008 2:33PM

Just in case you haven't seen it, or had some time to waste, here's a video of Tasunoko vs Capcom gameplay (decent quality). I can't wait for this and hope a US version of Marvel vs Capcom 3 (or any US vs game) comes out.

syrik zero @ Oct 13th 2008 2:30PM

This is the best fighting game ever made. I got it for Dreamcast the day it came out. Most addicting fighting game I've played in my life. Hope it held up over time

Crusty Magic @ Oct 13th 2008 2:31PM

Capcom please say it's true. I would be more than willing to give you some money for this.

Envoy @ Oct 13th 2008 2:33PM

If I buy this for the PS3 would MvC2 work?

Mike @ Oct 13th 2008 2:35PM

Ha ha...of course this happen. I just bought a Dreamcast and this game on eBay just so I could play it.

And of course with my luck I won 2 auctions that had it so I have 2 copies.

I hope they have online play with this but I am not really counting on it.

ExMcCloud @ Oct 13th 2008 2:35PM

HD sprites and online play please.....And I better not have to pay extra for more characters!!!

Pudge @ Oct 13th 2008 2:44PM

No HD Sprites

You see how long Street Fighter 2 HD Remix is taking? We'd have to be thinking about the Xbox 720 if they do HD Sprites.

But yeah, I will buy this first day guaranteed. Best Fighting Game ever.

Jimiisama @ Oct 14th 2008 8:54PM

Actually, HD remix is taking a long time because Sirlin thought he should take it upon himself to rebalance a game that's been played for 11 years.

xFenixKnightx @ Oct 13th 2008 2:39PM

I like it, I love it, I want some more of it!

......

Overboard? :D

MowDownJoe @ Oct 13th 2008 2:55PM

I don't think it's overboard... though I am curious who they could add from the Marvel side.

zuburi @ Oct 13th 2008 10:23PM

I was in the middle of writing a list of Marvel characters they could add, but it got out of hand and too long. Highlights were Apocalypse, The Fantastic Four, Thor, and Deadpool.

And Baron Zemo, who I hope makes a cameo in the Captain America movie :D
