Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Returns!

Marvel.com: One of the most celebrated fighting games in history is coming back for another round! Check out the first teaser trailer, art and details for "Marvel vs. Capcom 2"!

Nine years after taking the arcade gaming scene by storm and over six years after making its original home console debut, "Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes" returns! Slated to hit Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade and PS3's PSN, expect the same fast, furious and fantastic gameplay you loved with even more awesome online head-to-head action! A release date is set for "Summer 2009", and obviously Psylocke is a playable character!

That's great news, this game is great!

But Psylocke should appear in this new game art, exchanging kicks with Chun-Li or something like that...

It's the same exact game just re-released?

FSaker said...

Yup. But it will have all 56 characters available from the start, online matches, backgrounds in better resolution and an option to make the sprites look better in high resolution (filters or something like that). No Super Street Fighter II HD Remix special treatment in graphics, though.

But it will probably be cheaper, as it is a downloadable game.

Capcom could substitute bone-clawed Wolverine with U.S.Agent; both are palette-swaps gameplay-wise, but at least the Agent is a different person than Captain America.

Then again, if Wolverine can appear in ten different Marvel comic books at the same time, why couldn't he appear as two characters in the same game? LOL

Marvel should allow Capcom to produce more fighting games with its franchise; X-Men Next Dimension wasn't as good, and Marvel Nemesis was just plain bad...
