Capcom puts Marvel vs Capcom 2 release near 'the end of July'
Further clarifying reports from nearly two months ago surrounding the release of Marvel vs Capcom 2 on XBLA/PSN, Capcom's Twitter account is putting the game's digital release "closer to the end of July." Oddly enough, the statement claims to not know where the "rumor" came from, though Marvel Entertainment's Q1 2009 financial report (sourced below) was clearly the culprit.
In the month or so you have before the game releases, you should probably head over to Shoryuken's MvC2 forums to find out how badly you're going to get stomped online. And yes, you will get stomped. We all will.

Excellent! Gives me more time to suck at Rocket Riot.
:(
Sion @ Jun 27th 2009 8:04PM
Same Here, I'm so hooked on that game.
Zexion_VI @ Jun 27th 2009 3:14PM
Finally, some tidbit of news that gives a more definite release date.
Kazuo Mishima @ Jun 27th 2009 3:24PM
Good to see something secure on the release date now. I can't wait for it to drop. July is going to be a great month for all fighting game fans.
Tyler @ Jun 27th 2009 3:26PM
Try Fight Night 4. It's great. It will hold you over for a while.
U U D D L R L R B A SELECT START @ Jun 27th 2009 5:08PM
So Fight Night 4 has lazers and tentacle attacks!?!?!??!??!!!!!
Rafael @ Jun 28th 2009 2:15PM
good one.. fight night 4 is fucking great..
specially online..
Blue_Falcon @ Jun 27th 2009 3:27PM
Doesn't the Days of Arcade start on the 29th? That would mean it's coming out then in that case, given it would be the last Wednesday of the month.
Korly @ Jun 27th 2009 3:34PM
No hurry, there's plenty of awesome stuff out RIGHT NOW.
xbox420king @ Jun 27th 2009 3:40PM
This seriously sucks for me i was waiting for this game and was pretty hopeful it was being released late this month. Had my MS points card ready. F***k it guess im going to get some new themes.
Uncontrol @ Jun 27th 2009 4:30PM
yeah man it sucks that points cards expire the month you buy them
megapenguinx @ Jun 27th 2009 6:08PM
Why not, you know, redeem the points then just wait for the game to come out?
xbox420king @ Jun 27th 2009 11:18PM
Yeah that's what I'm going to end up doing.
Wiizer @ Jun 28th 2009 5:25PM
You don't have MvC2?
Why don't you just play the disc version until then?
xbox420king @ Jun 29th 2009 1:06AM
I have a DC copy but its not fun anymore i win every round. I need to be able to play online and have a real challenge.
Access Granted @ Jun 27th 2009 3:39PM
But the end of July is barely July! what will I play at the beginning of July? or how about mid July! ... I don't wanna play a Football video game... I wish KoF was out earlier and this too...
Deadpool @ Jun 27th 2009 4:01PM
Wanna play a game, but you have to wait until the end of next month to play it? Try Blazblue! A new high res action packed 2-D fighter, from the creators of Guilty Gear! It'll elminate all the football games and sooth your KoF itch!
Blazblue! It's for you! =D

Yeah I was thinking about getting BlazBlue too... even if its only 10 characters it seems pretty kickass! :D I guess I'll play that till' late July then thanks for the advice Deadpool!
deusmecha @ Jun 27th 2009 4:21PM
BlazBlue has 12 characters, actually. I'm picking it up on the 30th. :p
Haohmaru (PSN - DimmuBurgerKing XBL - A Real Puppet ) @ Jun 28th 2009 6:48PM
Yeah, BlazBlue is a must buy for any fan of fighters. Far better than KOFXII in my opinion, though I'll likely end up grabbing it as well.
Kazuo Mishima @ Jun 27th 2009 3:47PM
Yeah, I'm tempted to try out Fight Night but I'm really trying to hold off on getting another game until Blazblue comes out next week.
-Vexx- @ Jun 27th 2009 3:47PM
*inconceivable amounts of rage unable to being herd by humans*
Ficken @ Jun 27th 2009 3:58PM
So at the end of the summer I will be playing this and Fat Princess. Prolly won't have a disc in my PS3 for a while.
rangoonth @ Jun 27th 2009 4:08PM
Guess I'll just keep playing other fighters till then.
Kill a mans jiro @ Jun 27th 2009 4:37PM
Im guessing were gonna see a july 2010 release for europe then?
Rafael @ Jun 28th 2009 2:15PM
probably... if they didnt delay again of course.
NiggaStoleMyBike @ Jun 27th 2009 4:42PM
I wish I had an extra $200, so that I can by a 360 and get this game to kill some time until Tatsunoko VS. Capcom comes out.
Obi-Habby @ Jun 27th 2009 5:38PM
Craigslist is your friend. I scored my Elite for half price.
Mr Khan @ Jun 27th 2009 4:44PM
They can never keep the date on these HD remixes, granted that they're doing far less to this than SFIITHDR
Happy Happy @ Jun 27th 2009 5:04PM
Summer of Arcade starts July 22nd with TMNT. So yeah, the only possible date for this is July 29th.
Gemini Ace @ Jun 27th 2009 5:50PM
Wait longer for an overpriced game? Sure!
jynxycat @ Jun 27th 2009 5:53PM
"you should probably head over to Shoryuken's MvC2 forums to find out how badly you're going to get stomped online"
So true. People think they're good at MvC until they play someone who's GOOD at MvC.
sho220 @ Jun 27th 2009 6:58PM
i was excited about this game coming out until i heard it's $15. (1200 MSP) i'd rather take out the dreamcast than pay $15 for it. c'mon capcom, make it $10 (800 MSP) like it should be!
GregZ @ Jun 27th 2009 7:03PM
Ugh. I've waited years to play this game online... what's another month? I've lost track. That remix soundtrack better be hot.
Gaymer @ Jun 27th 2009 8:33PM
WTF!!
LAME
I had bought a points card last night to use it on the game on Wednesday.
THIS SUCKS !
vgxtremist @ Jun 27th 2009 8:56PM
Doesn't bother me, Garou is keeping me company in terms of a 2-d fighting game.
Raccoon City Survivor @ Jun 27th 2009 10:17PM
wow that sucks lol i had bought a psn card worth 20$ just for this =( now i gota wait even longer. I really hope I dont spend the 20$ on LBP stuff lol i really got my eyes on that monsters pack XD
Morbo- (PSN: ummfada) @ Jun 28th 2009 2:14AM
Booooooooooooooooooo
sage goes in all fields
Smalfri2 @ Jun 28th 2009 2:06AM
I can't wait for this game hopefully it makes them come out with MvC3
Rafael @ Jun 28th 2009 2:14PM
bullshit... capcom is the king of delays.. why take so long to release this game ?
this is not god of war 3 for god sake..
Haohmaru (PSN - DimmuBurgerKing XBL - A Real Puppet ) @ Jun 28th 2009 6:38PM
Good, because between BlazBlue, KOFXII, Garou XBLA, and MvC2, my wallet would be screaming.
CrashSpyro123 @ Jun 28th 2009 8:51PM
Wasn't it announced at E3 that MvC2 was a part of the Summer of Arcade, so it wouldn't be out until July 22 at the earliest? Why would anybody think it'll be out any sooner?
