Capcom: Marvel vs Capcom 2 on XBLA July 29, PSN date coming 'soon'
The Capcom Unity twitter account revealed something interesting this morning: Marvel vs Capcom 2 will be gracing Xbox Live on July 29 -- and Capcom PR separately confirmed a 1200
($15) price. For those of you wondering about its arrival on PSN, Capcom promises an announcement "soon." Sharpen those claws (and those Hadoukens), because it's about to be on.

Didn't PSN recently get a demo or something? Why the hell is their no release date?!
Delaystation indeed.

It's Capcom. No matter what they say, or do, they just can't get a grip on the PS3. I expect the trend to continue steadfast until the next generation of hardware.
It's almost like they go out of their way to piss off PS fans, in every aspect of their business.
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 9th 2009 10:25AM
If you wanna call whatever that was a demo.
Pfft.
Proton Cannon! to the face, Playstation! I planned on getting it on PSN, too. Damn.
NaeemTHM @ Jul 9th 2009 10:33AM
It's not just Capcom that does bullcrap like this. I feel like the gaming industry as a whole treats the PS3 like a redheaded step child.
Well I got news for you game devs, soon the PS3 is going to start working out! Then you have to deal with this:

if anything is the red headed step child of the gaming world, its the wii. ps3 and 360 are like two brothers competing to see who is the best at something.
shadowhowl1900 @ Jul 9th 2009 11:17AM
lol, what demo?
that was the worse thing attempt as a demo since...ever
Saint @ Jul 9th 2009 11:30AM
First off, thanks for the Carrot Top picture, now I'm sterile. Probably for the best.
Second off, the PSN Demo actually sold the game to me. Having never had the chance to experience the (glory) of the original game, I fell in love right away.
Third, does anyone know if the game is still planning on coming with all of the characters unlocked? It's not a huge deal, but it's enough to make me not want to buy the game. My favorite part of fighting games is unlocking new characters. Always a sense of victory when that happens. Probably the same reason I'm an achievement/trophy hooah.

The PS3 is the red headed step child. I can't imagine why Capcom would do this unless it was for some money.
cuteSAVAGE @ Jul 9th 2009 11:34AM
I thought the demo was perfect considering the majority of people interested in this game played it at least once within the last ten years and that no one in their right mind should buy a fighting game without at least a second controller and a few mates to play with.
DangerMouse @ Jul 9th 2009 11:44AM
It will come with the characters unlocked. I was hoping to unlock them myself as well.
I'm sure it will hit the PS3 the next day (in the US, i'm sure EU will get it a few months down the line ;)). And as far as PSN goes, there PS Store looks like one giant clusterfuck. There's been cases where they've had problems on the release day (for whatever reason) and won't fix it until the one week later on the next thursday. Why? It doesn't make any sense for them to releases vital updates when they get them. And if it looks like shite from where I'm sitting, i wonder what kind of headaches the game companies have to deal with.
Vidikron @ Jul 9th 2009 11:51AM
@DangerMouse
Huh? What specifically are you referring to? I've not seen anything remotely like a clusterfuck in the PSN store.
Shimrra @ Jul 9th 2009 10:14AM
I wish they release Street Fighter 3rd Strike I personally felt that was the best 2-D fighting game ever from Capcom.
6_h!t-combo @ Jul 9th 2009 12:52PM
I agree with you over 9000 percent....
3rd strike was so epic.
Online multiplayer, and id be sold.
Shimrra @ Jul 9th 2009 12:57PM
DUDE!!!!! Street Fighter 3rd Strike with online play......anyone have a towel????
alex @ Jul 9th 2009 2:18PM
thank you!! SFIII is my favorite of all of them!! love it when i parry each hit of a super and counter with mine.
won a tournament as hugo against chun-li. parried her ex flip kick and countered with my super. pure awesomeness.
XBLA: Arex Ree. friend request to fight me.
phrost @ Jul 9th 2009 3:27PM
They already have 3rd strike on Xbox Live. It's even backwards compatible.
Snakku @ Jul 9th 2009 3:30PM
word. MV2 = unbalanced failure
Temidien @ Jul 9th 2009 10:14AM
"soon" needs to be "now".
JudasPrius @ Jul 9th 2009 10:15AM
If by soon they mean today's update then count me in!
InFaMoUs1- @ Jul 9th 2009 10:19AM
What a load of bullshit
drakkor @ Jul 9th 2009 10:21AM
if only the game didnt look so bad on an hd screen
rogXue @ Jul 9th 2009 10:21AM
Knowing Capcom, soon could mean today. They are goofy like that and tend to give the PSN some love. just look @ the playstation blog to see that
RagingStormX @ Jul 9th 2009 10:32AM
Hmmmm...the fact that what you say may just be true, I will hold my tongue on my venting comments about Crapcom for now. *crosses fingers*
AoE @ Jul 9th 2009 3:53PM
@RagingStormX,
Crapcom! I see what you did there! Man, that is priceless... a real knee-slapper. Have you thought about a career as a comedy writer? If not, you really should... I mean with gems like crapcom You'll make a mint!
Maybe I could be your writing partner... what if we call them crapcorn next? You know... because it SOUNDS like capcom, but suggests instead of just poo... poo with corn! Hilarious, right? I am telling you RagingStormX, you and I, we're gonna take this town and they won't know what hit them... in the funny bone!
ImpurePhoen1x @ Jul 9th 2009 10:26AM
PSN date coming "soon" huh? At least I've got BlazBlue to keep me occupied until MvC2 is out, whenever that is
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 9th 2009 10:40AM
Gauntlet Hades!
I love BlazBlue, in case you couldn't tell.
razer922 @ Jul 9th 2009 10:25AM
And then the PS3 players who had a "demo" before everyone else said:
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
Seriously, this is my most awaited game of the summer (most of what I want is coming out in the fall) and it gets delayed. God damnit.
My fightstick will collect dust another day.
samfish (uses the Joystiq Comment-Kill filter!) @ Jul 9th 2009 10:39AM
Its not delayed, they just haven't announced a release date yet.
There is probably about a 90% chance that it's coming out the same week as the XBLA version.
Prox @ Jul 9th 2009 10:27AM
$15 is pretty steep.
JudasPrius @ Jul 9th 2009 10:28AM
Tell that to ebay!
NaeemTHM @ Jul 9th 2009 10:39AM
It's a lot better than the 90 bucks the game is currently going for.
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 9th 2009 10:59AM
Selfbooting Dreamcast ISO FTW!!
Jason Statham (Aka Vegeta) @ Jul 9th 2009 12:17PM
Are you seriously complaining? As other said before, the game went for either $50-$100 used at gamestop or about $100 on ebay, and you honestly think $15 is steep?
If that ain't being a cheap bastard, then I don't know what is.
Vidikron @ Jul 9th 2009 12:23PM
That may be true, but I'm not sure comparing a limited physical resource to an infinite digital resource is entirely fair.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Jul 9th 2009 10:28AM
oh now thats some shit.....they do a good thing by FINALLY saying they are getting thins right for Bionic Commando: Rearmed, and Give us an "Exclusive" Demo for MvC2 but NOW they dont have a Date for its release!?!?!? Capcom REALLY likes to toy with PS3 owners it seems....I suggest they give it the same date as the XBLA release...........
golobulus @ Jul 9th 2009 10:39AM
i'd rather spend 15$ on a piece of dog shite.
NaeemTHM @ Jul 9th 2009 10:40AM
Then you are a damn fool. Dog shit is on sale for like 7 dollars at Wal-Mart!
Neuromancer @ Jul 9th 2009 10:40AM
...Really?
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 9th 2009 10:59AM
He called the shit "shite"!
Heavytoka @ Jul 9th 2009 11:09AM
For real, I'm willing to sell some!
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Jul 9th 2009 11:22AM
mabye he's british....
thats how they say shit dude....hell I run around saying shite all the time...
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 9th 2009 11:31AM
I know Chris. It was an attempt at a Billy...
Nevermind.
G$ @ Jul 9th 2009 11:42AM
"conditioner is better!"
DeepFriedSushi @ Jul 10th 2009 4:40AM
straight ports get released at 800 at least this one is enhanced.
online play, sprite filters (good ones), and inclusion of widescreen (but doesnt affect gameplay and you can even add borders if you want to mimic the original)
Kyle Nichol @ Jul 9th 2009 10:41AM
What a surprise.
nsidetheclynic @ Jul 11th 2009 4:32PM
Since they gave PSN the exclusive demo, they should also release it a week earlier. I've wanted to play this goddamn game since my PS2 copy got stolen.
Let's go July 23rd!
Jtenma @ Jul 9th 2009 10:53AM
You know whats funny...
This game went gold like 10 years ago (on the DC). So why is it taking so long in the first place to come out!?!?
Elranzer @ Jul 9th 2009 11:09AM
Porting code and adding features, like online play.
