Check out MvC2 with Giant Bomb tomorrow photo

It’s actually silly. Marvel vs Capcom 2 is getting all this news and attention. It’s a ten year old game, there are almost no new features added to it for its re-release, and I’m not even that good at it! Yet, of all things, it is my most anticipated game of the year. Go figure. Also, it’s coming out on my birthday, so it’s like Capcom is saying “Happy birthday, Ben! You are a special and treasured human being! Here is a present from us!”

Unfortunately, we still have two weeks before the big day. Which only sucks if you are someone from outside the SF Bay Area, (or, I dunno, own a copy of the original), as our friends at Giant Bomb and Capcom have teamed up for an epic night of MvC2 goodness tomorrow. I’m going to be there, as well as community member Tactix, and we’d love to see some more Dtoid faces come in and throw down against our Giant Bomb-brethren. There’s going to be cheap drinks (sorry, 21 and over), great games, neat prizes, and a good time with some good people. Be there, or be the lamest combo of Amingo, BBHood, Tron Bonne. Seriously, who plays those?

Tron and bbhood are good. Tron is even used in tourneys as an assist. BBhood is used because she has a good super. Amingo on the other hand sucks.

whats with all this stupid ass artwork they keep releasing? It's almost as if they're trying to fool people into thinking its some kind of hd remix. The game wasn't that great when it came out, it's not that great now. All they did was reuse sprites and animations from games that they've used several times over. All the xmen sprites are almost identical to their children of the atom counterparts!!

You tell him! Ben is just mad cause my team can kick his ass. Amingo may "suck" but he's my token mexican character...I HAVE to play him :D (read El Fuerte)

Also, I use BB Hood primarily for her awesome projectile assist. The way it moves slowly across the screen is amazing :D

I really feel like I'm the only person who's no longer excited about this re-release.

Oh well...
*goes back to playing BlazBlue and waiting for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom*

Can somebody tell me why Marvel vs Capcom 3 is not being made? I'm pretty sure ALOT of people would buy it.

LICENSING ISSUES.

They said they are more than likely to never get the license back from Marvel.

amingo is awesome, his air combos are the bomb - you suckers just don't appreciate his wild styles!

Having never owned a dreamcast and only rarely playing the arcade unit, I'm excited for this 10 year old game.

If only I were up there in SF, I'd go. But only for the free drinks and the hanging out with you guys. I'm not at all interested in MvC2.
