Is Mahvel baybee! Marvel vs Capcom 2 finally confirmed for PSN, XBLA |
Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Capcom, Dreamcast, Microsoft, Microsoft Points, PlayStation Store

This version is being touted as the "definitive version" of the game and will be based on the Dreamcast code base. There will be an online mode of course, and since Backbone is in charge of MvsC2, the game will largely be using the net code in Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.
The game will also get a couple of HD upscaling options -- "Crisp" and "Smooth" -- to accompany the unfiltered "Classic" mode. These options are applied in real-time so you can easily change them even if you're in the middle of a game. Widescreen support is also supported. Here's an explanation of how it works:
Play area is unchanged, and this is not a zoom and crop like HD Remix was. To put it simply, the gameplay area will be in a 4:3 field, while the viewing area will be widescreen. At the same time, for purists and competitive play, a 4:3 option (with vertical bars on the left and right) still exists.
They're also throwing in some music options like volume control and custom soundtracks for those didn't like the game's original score. Also, there are no unlockables in this game. All 56 characters will be available to play right from the start.
If you're already dying to have a taste of the new and improved Marvel vs Capcom 2, don't worry. The PS3 version's demo will be on the PlayStation Store this week (most likely along with the Thursday update). It'll also be on the Euro PS Store soon after.
The release date has been set for this summer. Price is US$ 14.99 for the PS3 version and 1200 Microsoft Points for the Xbox 360 version. For now, check out this gameplay video.

I doubt the price will go down. Hard copy are still hard to find and many people do love hard copies over digital.

If PSN games have trials (idk i dont look much) then deal, I buy everything on Xbox tho. Nothing against PS3, but I was using my Xbox for years before I bought it and have a ton of really good friends on there, so I figure ill just keep using it

I use Dualshock for every fighting game and trust me I easily can best a lot of stick players. Besides, hori sticks and fighting pads are good and availabe to buy for PS3. I don't agree with people who say sticks are "better" than pads. I willingly challenge any pad haters to play me at something (MK vs DC is not an option though). Oh and yeah I'm sure this will lower the cost for a hard copy if it isn't in mint condition.

BTW papajag what's wrong with the DS for fighting games? The d-pad on that is nearly perfect. 360 pad is the only one that sucks for fighting games, unless you buy those improved d-pads from 3rd party companies it's borderline unusable
