Born for Wii: Marvel vs. Capcom 2

Dec 16th 2008 6:31PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
The point of having Marvel vs. Capcom 2 ported to the Wii (or any other current-gen console) has nothing to do with motion control. Sure, that could be tacked on to appeal to newcomers, but the goal would be to make the game easily available, or make it look better, or make it online. Having it redrawn in Tatsunoko's style would be awesome, but online-play is a more realistic expectation, and it's something the game definitely deserves.

The Classic Controller would, quite obviously, be the go-to pad for the game. I'm not advocating totally changing the way it plays to make it noob friendly.

The biggest thing I want is online support. If MvC2 stayed exactly the same as it is now but let us play online, it would be one of the best multiplayer experiences on any console. So long as the netcode was solid, anyway.

I sincerely hope that Capcom uses the most arcade-perfect version of MvC2 if they port it to the Wii or any other console. The last thing we need is a resash of a great game once again dragged down by a shoddy port.

The unfortunate thing about Tatsunoko is how difficult it will be to get it in the states. Crossovers with companies like Marvel work perfectly since they're US-focused. Still, the concept of expanding the series is a tantalizing thought, but I can't see it happening anytime soon unless Tatsunoko sells like hot cakes. But it's a nice fantasy!

I suppose Ducktales sort of stands in for any of them, but Capcom had even more wonderful Disney-based games than you mentioned (obviously there's not room for everything). I think Mickey's Magical Quest may have been the cream of the crop, though it's been years and years since I played it.

Definitely. It appears to be a pretty kiddie game, but it's a lot edgier than you'd expect, and considerably more challenging to boot. And despite how cheery the presentation is, the concept is pretty morbid: it's pretty much droid genocide.

And now it is your duty to track it down!

That's definitely part of it. ;) Since it was multiplatform, if you have a GameCube, PS2, Xbox, Wii, PS3, or 360 you can probably pick it up online almost as cheap as you could rent it. Finding it in a real store these days would probably be hard, too. But it's worth playing.

That's actually an April Fool's joke! And a pretty good one, because Wario's Woods *should* be on WiiWare.

Born for Wii: Star Wars Republic Commando

I didn't really talk about the multiplayer simply because it wasn't up to par with the campaign and I never played much of it. It could certainly be a strong addition to a port if there was one, though I imagine it would have trouble catching on well enough to be viable online.

But maybe, one day. One day.
