Marvel vs. Capcom 2 hits Xbox LIVE Arcade photo

Get excited. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is available on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

The fighting title -- which we’ve covered exhaustively -- launched without a hitch earlier this morning. Priced at 1,200 Microsoft Moon Dollars, purchasers can expect all the fun of the original releases of the title without the fat. MvC 2 has improved menus and zero locked characters. In addition to that, it has a robust online component, three visual filters, and widescreen support.

Also, Zangief. The game has Zangief.

If you’re tired of Street Fighter IV, King of Fighters 12 or BlazBlue, it might do you some good to try out the MvC 2 demo. It’s fun. We promise.

MvC 2 is slated to hit PlayStation Network on August 13th.

Have to wait till I get a points card for this. Played the demo, but there wasn't enough characters for me, and I really to be Spiderman.

Would buy it if it looked like your header image.

Will download later on, even though I suck at fighting games.

With so many characters and the fact that they are already unlocked, it's perfect for people like me who are kind of "casual" fighting game fans.

Can't wait to play it with my friends.

This is gonna be the biggest ragequit generator ever. The whole playerbase will quit because they can't block Magneto :-D

It would be the game of forever if it looked like that.

I stayed up all night untill 3am just to download the game. I was waiting for it to pop up on the marketplace.

Anyways, I still fucking suck as bad as I used to. But it's still damn fun!

1,200 points is too much for this game in my opinion. I loved it as much as the next guy on the Dreamcast, but it really shouldn't cost more than 800 points.

Out before fighting fanboys say the game is unbalanced, broken and cheap

@Trevor - I'm sure if you wait a few months or so there might be a weekend sale on this, like they did with Braid. I can't remember if they did it for SF2 HD Remix or not.

The demo isn't really that fun. No single player, only local multiplayer.

this is the second game I've bought on XBLA without trying the trial, the first one being SSF2THDR. it's a blast, but I'm waiting for a few friends to get online already so we can play. I would just get raped online. :<

I thought XBLA had a good thing going with the whole "ports are 5 bucks, remakes/new games are 10 bucks" Why's a port 15 bucks? If the answer is scarcity of the original then I will shit a kitten.

Considering PS2 and Xbox discs of this still sell for $80 this is well worth the 1200 points. Plus the crisp filter looks crisp.

I wish the 16:4 mode was more acomadating rather than simply streching the game out to look like shit.

I am the same way. I will probably get this but I am by no means hardcore about fighting games, they're just fun every once in a while.

Are the video options disabled in the demo? Because, no matter what filter I use it all looks the same.

I bought this as soon as Covah's blog reminded me this morning. I even got my girlfriend to play it with me (apparently she loves the Darkstalkers characters, I never knew) and she liked it so much, we went out and bought her an arcade stick (along with some other goodies, I'll have a blog up about it all tomorrow). We actually managed to find a TE too! She was super excited, as am I.

So, will this be the last we'll have to hear about this game now?

@Dexter345. No.
I bought this morning, and I'm having a blast. It's worth it.
I got my ass handed to me by freetouch.
A bunch of people on my friends list were playing it, and it makes me wonder how well this will sell...probably alot.

My 4th copy now, orginally imported on DC then got the PAL release and I have it on Xbox somewhere now I have it on Arcade....and I am still merely average lol Still love it to bits, but the final boss is way to easy. But I remember MvsC's onslaught being nigh on impossible to beat.

Always up for a match on Live though if anyone wants a go.
