I hope they do a HD remix of the first one just like SF II.

That is my hope, although it did take them waaaayyyy to long to finish it.

Sadly, it's pretty much impossible. Considering how big in term of characters MVC2 is, it would take years and years.

The stages were all 3D, so they wouldn't have to be completely redone. Some new textures would probably suffice.

Still, MvC2 had a ludicrous character roster, so the characters alone would take a long time, but if they really did start HD remixing this game at about the same time as SFII (which was a rumor floating around), then it's possible that this is nearing completion.

Not a shot in hell. They would have told us by now if they were going to do that, as they would have been working on it for years at this point.

This will likely just be a port. Just hope it's better than the XBox/PS2 versions...

To expect a complete HD makeover is unrealistic

hopefully they applied some hq filter like the one on ZSNES

That would be great!

But, by the way, can anyone please tell me why there were two wolverines?

I would love to see CvM3 released.

@Spartan

One Wolverine had adamantium claws, the other had bone claws.

They have different healing rates (red health, not yellow) take different levels of damage, have a couple differences in move lists, and different super combos.

So why has everyone voted you down for the comment about the game's music? I agree the music wasn't all that great in it and thought it was a little out of place considering the type of game it is and the content. I own the Dreamcast version of it and still enjoy it to this day. The music in the character select screen is grating though. Just the same lyric sung over and over again while you make your selection. I guess they ran out of ideas because they had so many characters to focus on!

If this game is re-released as a downloadable game on PSN/LIve that would be awesome!! Then I'd have the English version as well!

Never did like the Jazzy tunes as much as the ones in MVC2 . I just took it as they not being able to fit too much AWESOME in the game:)

Seriously, though, you can put your own.

I've been playing the xbox version again since I heard the news, its a really great game I don't understand ign's review of it but whatever. An HD Remix would be amazing, this is one arcade game I'd see myself continually playing. 50 something characters makes it worth a purchase regardless of the price.

Doubt they'll be getting rid of the jazz music, since they are after all teasing us rather tongue-in-cheekily with a reference to the most annoying track in the game...

That said, hopefully they are bringing a downloadable version to fruition. That would be incredible.

I love that they seem to acknowledge, in a tongue in cheek way, that "Take you for a Ride" is annoying as hell.
I loved the game, but that theme song made me want to bash my head in....

AWWW, damn, it's stuck in my head now....

Pretty compelling stuff... There is no doubt Capcom's involved with this. And it does seem to be a somewhat-subtle reference to MvC2.

guess i'm gonna have to do a bit of research to determine whether or not this relates to the PS3/PSN as well, since Joystiq only tagged XBox.

Well, it wouldn't let me post in the KZ2 news hence the ban assumption, and I wanted to check quickly. Sadly MvC2 isn't very relevant to my interests.

I want to see one of the skilled modders out there make an actual arcade machine around a 360 for classic games like this.

Seriously, a cool decoration for my games room with real joystick controls built around a LIVE connected 360 console? I'd buy that.

Of course it'd be cooler if I could make it...sadly I'm not that skilled :(.

Hmm actually now that I think about it...this might not be that hard. 3rd party joystick controllers for 360 are already on market, I bet I could dissect one of those and frankenstein it into something workable to mount in a case...

Ok that's it...I'm totally doing this. More for the fun of the project than anything else.

If your going to do that then just build a MAME cab and you can have all the original arcade ROM goodness.

I built one a few years back, found everything I needed (info-wise I mean) online.

Do a search for "building a MAME cab"

Good luck

it wasn't until i saw the '2' ghosted behind the countdown clock that i freaked out!

i don't think Capcom needs to do an HD Remix treatment to this game. the original sprites look great as it is. just upscale them to look sharp on an HD set, make the online functionality as good as it was for HD Remix (not the crappy SFIV online system) and i'll buy it for both PS3 & 360.

Agreed. A simple port and good networking would guarantee a double purchase from me. Any remixing or new sprites would be nice, but not necessary.

My girl just bought MVC2 for Xbox for me for an anniversary gift and I still couldn't be happier to get a remake for Live. Needless to say, I'll be practicing non-stop until release.

MvC2 is better than nothing at all, and would buy it in an instant, but i'd love for them to release all 6 Marvel games on one disc, or at least have a couple of the other games as unlockables. That would be awesome.

Awesome can't wait.
Just a port with online play will be fine by me.

Would be nice if they added some new characters and did some balancing though.
