Capcom

Oh ESRB, will you ever learn?

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 has received a rating for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on the ESRB's Web site like so many unannounced games before it.

Additionally, the game has shown up on PartnerNet, further adding to the legitimacy of this whole ordeal for the skeptics out there.

I don't think it even needs to be said how ~~exciting~~ Pringles this news is for us. Fans of MvC2 have been begging for the game to be released as a downloadable title since LIVE Arcade was created, and that dream is finally going to become a reality.

WHERE YO CURLEH MUSTACHE AT!?

@DemonEyes23:
Not quite.

Cynical Gamer at 10/13/2008 18:31

I hope they fix the soundtrack for the release.

timtheterrible at 10/13/2008 18:31

Fuck the Knicks!

Jonathan Holmes at 10/13/2008 18:35

YOUR BODY!

SLiFE at 10/13/2008 18:39

Why is this such a big deal?
Why don't you all just play it on your Dreamcasts?

masterledz at 10/13/2008 18:41

Mango sentinel.

Also, I actual own Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 for PS2. Go me.

Geoff at 10/13/2008 18:41

Please to GOD online play.

Daxelman at 10/13/2008 18:42

OH SHIT.

THAT'S SO PRINGLES!!!

WHERE'S MY CURLY MUSTACHE!!?!?!?!?

Slick Icarus Ver 20 at 10/13/2008 18:44

FUCK THE NICKS!!

Azereki at 10/13/2008 18:45

1200 points, amirite?

Jaren Face at 10/13/2008 18:45

The finding of this today totally made me bust out the old Dreamcast and play some... Street Fighter Alpha 3. While I do have some MvC2, I felt like playing as some Balrog.

This is some definitely interesting news. I'll wait and see how appealing playing this online will be to justify buying a game twice.

manasteel88 at 10/13/2008 18:47

its gonna be $15-$20 just because of licensing issues. I still have my DC version so I'm good but its good that some new people can check this out.

Man I hate MvC2. Worst amount of money I spent on a fighting game.

Guagloves at 10/13/2008 19:13

SCOOPS HAAGEN DAZS!!

Four08Style at 10/13/2008 19:14

FUCK.

YES.

khaos432 at 10/13/2008 19:26

oh yeah bout time fo this

Crunshii at 10/13/2008 19:28

HUUUZZZAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!! ABOUT TIME!!!! BRING ME ONLINE VS PLAY!!!!!!!!!!

This game is hands down one of the best 2D fighter of all time... now that said... WHERE IS #3!?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!?!

Cowboy TTop at 10/13/2008 19:28

I think this game is testament to Capcom's forums and finding out what we want. If this has online play, which was sorely missing from the previous cut, I'm so buying it.

solidgoomba at 10/13/2008 19:31

How exactly is this coming out with the licensing fiasco with EA owning the rights to the Marvel characters? With this coming out again, is this a step towards MVC3?

Coldbrand at 10/13/2008 19:31

It'd be REALLY interesting if they gave it any sort of HD treatment, soundtrack additions, character additions, or most of all, offering an optional rebalanced mode.

solidgoomba at 10/13/2008 19:32

@myself
I should looked further down the main page, oops.

B-Radicate at 10/13/2008 19:37

I have everything unlocked on my Dreamcast version. I doubt I will repurchase and re-devote myself to getting everything again.

That is, unless they overhaul the graphics and make them fully 1080p. Then I may be in trouble.

pendelton21 at 10/13/2008 19:39

Fuck the Knicks. Fuck the Knicks, indeed.

DanlHaas at 10/13/2008 19:39

I see all the appropriate references have been covered. But just for me:
SCOOPS

The Grudge at 10/13/2008 19:40

This makes me happy. I have a dreamcast but not a version for it and the PS2 version is expensive.

Danmartigan at 10/13/2008 19:40

the game's pretty good.. but it's not worth 60 bucks so the download will be much appreciated. :)

ArchArbiter at 10/13/2008 19:40

hooray, more magneto/storm/cable cheapness bullshit.
Not too crazy about MvC2.

scottoid at 10/13/2008 19:49

HELLS TO DA MUTHA FUKIN YEES! wait... if its psn does that mean other PS2 releases or what?? preeze be true!!!

I'm sure it'll be the arcade version, not the PS2 version.
