A NeoGAF member who hobbies as ESRB archive scavenger has stumbled upon an update for Marvel vs. Capcom 2 that lists the game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game, a frenetic 3-on-3 arcade bralwer from 2000 (and probably one of the main reasons you keep a Sega Dreamcast around, assuming you didn't pick up the PS2 or Xbox One version), seems like a perfect fit for Xbox Live Arcade or PS Network. We've reached out to Capcom for more information.

But an ESRB listing isn't confirmation. They rated Earthbound for the virtual console, and, well, you know how that turned out...
HAHA.
Fixed.
Still, I think MvC2 sucks ass. MASH HARDER.
One of my favourite Dreamcast games. I'll need a decent arcade stick though.
Wait, is that some sort of 360 test site?
Well, assuming that's not a photoshop, there goes ten bucks.
I'm half tempted to buy it again for PSN just to be able to play it online, even though I have a perfectly functional PS2 copy.
Hope they add online play.

Anakris (or whatever his name is) had a glitch you could only do in the arcade version (which made him really good), along with some other small details I can't think of. I don't really play the game, I just kind of dabble. I believe one version is faster, but I can't remember which one.
it is like bizzarro xbox live used by developers to beta test their xbla games and dlc
Haha, my buddy and I would have epic Servbot v Servbot matchups. This led to trash talk like:
"Man, I am going to stack plates at you so hard."
"Pfft, whatever, I'm cutting pumpkin at you. Bring it."
Good times.
WHY CANT I HIT YOU?
Not true.
If so, where are my EarthBound for VC and Suikoden for PSN?
We probably won't see this until late next year.
Obviously it is never 100%, but it is a pretty good gauge for what is coming - plenty of games have shown up listed there before being announced. And hey, if MVC2 has in this case apparently shown up on partnernet too...
I mean, I'm not about to rush out and sell my DC version, but this certainly smells all confirmed-ey to me.
I PLAY.
edit for Top of Page
Can Capcom even release it, do they have the rights?
Somebody mentioned back how they'd have the rights to release it unchanged (IE without online)
Perhaps they're getting a vs. pack ready.
This is a problem you want to have. This is a fucking GOLDEN AGE
(Can't get rid of DC Imported Ikaruga)
The question is, do I want to go through with it.
On a related note, that scratch remover crap from GameStop doesn't do shit.
Well, when I left college, I was missing a ton of random stuff. Cases, games, ect. I remember opening the MvC2 case and inside it was ChuChu Rocket. I opened the ChuChu Rocket case - nothing. So I looked and looked and found nothing. Stupidly and angrily, I threw out the MvC2 case and returned home.
LITERALLY - 2 YEARS - later I needed a blank CD. I was going through all these spindels disc by disc because I was so unorganized, that I hoped somewhere on a spindle of burned stuff, there was a blank disc still left. On the biggest spindle, near the bottom - MvC2.
I could NEVER sell that copy.
I love this game!
And this thread is as good a reason as any to restate my mission to collect the entire cast of MvC2 in action figure form. To scale. Here's a ridiculously out of date picture of what I've got so far:
Lots of action figures.
I've got 34 out of the 55. Every day I'm a little bit closer. I think there will come a time when they only way to finish it will be to copy the work of this awesome guy.
holy shit those are so awesome
give me them
Pretty much this. I imagine that the ESRB has to rate things not only for the system the game originates on, but any system that allows it through backwards compatibility.
It would be great to have a digital copy (or even an online-ready version), but my understanding was that the series was tangled up in legal issues that prevented them from even reprinting the game whatsoever.
Ka-Chung!
Ka-Chung!
I want your collection just for Tron Bonne.
