June 29 is still not MvC2's release date photo

A little while back Dale "I'm a ninja and could kill you" North reported that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was hitting XBLA and PSN on June 29. It was a little odd because it was a Monday release date and, it turns out, because that date was entirely made up. The game won't be getting here until some time near the end of July according to Capcom's Twitter.

Capcom revealed the vague true release date and admitted to a little curiosity in where the rumor had come from by saying, "MvC2 is not actually coming out on June 29, sorry guys. Not sure where that rumor came from, but it's going to be closer to the end of July." "That rumor" came from Marvel's Q1 financial report (.pdf) , which Capcom evidently didn't read. They also must have missed the hundreds of blog posts about it around the web, which, much like this one, linked to the Q1 report. Is there an exact opposite of Matlock?

So, another month of waiting. Life's a bitch.

Play Blazblue to quench your 2D fighting thirst until then.

That "not sure where that rumor.." comment kinda' bugged me. Considering the internet's been abuzz for weeks now, and several release date listings (including VGChartz) had it slated for June 29th, this occurs to me more like the person behind the Capcom Twitter attempting to do some social network spin control while backpedaling from what probably WAS an actual date, though recently pushed for some reason.

There is always the option of not emulating it while you wait.

come on people, this game has been out for years. I'm sure there's other stuff you can get excited about.

I've been hearing "end of July" from friends for more than a month now. I should probably start listening to them more.

Shinryu - A lot of avid MvC fans still haven't managed to find a hard copy of the original release, or have been unable (or unwilling) to afford the pricey cost. Mind you, I personally own a copy for Playstation 2 and am only marginally interested in the new release, but totally understand why other folks would be more so.

Had a dreamcast copy once. One good college party later, someone steals it.

Is that extra time going to make it fully HD or are they going to make more of a mess of it?
