Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 Revealed, Demo Exclusive to PSN!

578 76

I Wanna Take YoU 4 A Ride this Thursday!

What’s up P-Essers? I’m here today to announce the imminent arrival of one of the worst kept secrets in the industry. You’ve seen the ESRB leak. You’ve seen the MadCatz joysticks. You probably visited a cryptic sight called www.tu4ar.com that just counted down to zero.

If you’ve been paying attention to my blogs and interviews, I’ve been leaking info about this day for quite some time. We conducted this Gamespot poll back in March of 2008 to gauge interest on what games you want to see us bring back. We listened to your feedback and tried to work quietly on the project. Well, as you know, I’m not the quiet type (the PR Ninjas here don’t like me so much). There was this MTV interview in June of last year, my PS blog on August 14th alluding to a Street Fighter surprise, and numerous blogs after that teasing this announcement.

So what’s the announcement? Here it is, officially:

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 Summer 2009

Yes that’s right. Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 will finally arrive on PSN this summer! For more information on the full game, go visit Capcom-Unity.com.

But wait, there’s more. Here’s the freaking ace up our sleeve:

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 Store Banner

This Thursday, April 30, PlayStation Network users will enjoy a free, exclusive MVC2 demo! No need to purchase another game, just download it straight to your PS3 and get ready for some triple tag team action (A big thank you goes out to Rommel Hernandez who helped make this exclusive demo possible).

Here are the details of the demo:

  • Two-player local matches
  • Six available characters – Ryu, Chun-Li, Strider, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Wolverine
  • Seven selectable environments
  • Upscaled 1080p graphics
  • Widescreen or 4:3 aspect ratio
  • Two graphic filter options for character sprites
  • And other cool options to check out

Make sure you visit www.tu4ar.com for the latest MVC2 news and follow us on Twitter for special promotions and prizes!

And I’ll leave you with one last, cool little video, exclusive to the PlayStation Blog. This is an alternate music version of the trailer on tu4ar.com.

Enjoy!

From your friendly neighborhood Capcom employee,

John “HIERO 9D3” Diamonon

  • can’t wait for Thursday

  • holy mother flocking announcement x-man!
    Hey Johnny, why no free prize contest this time? :P

  • @182 DNAgent

    You need to get a life. You give being a sony fanboy a bad name.

    Anyways on to other things. I missed this game completely but here people rave about all the time. Makes me wanna give it a try. Am looking forward to the demo and will probably buy day 1 as I do most decent PSN games.

    When are we gonna hear more about Lost Planet 2? The footage I saw using the new MT Framework 2.0 looked freakin amazing and the co-op looks great!

  • One team wins all

    MagaMan
    WarMachine
    IronMan

  • I hope the PSN servers don’t crash when the huge amount of traffic signs in to download the demo! X)

  • Man, Capcom sure does support the heck out of the PSN. I guess developers and publishers really enjoy utilizing the PS Blog

  • I didn’t read through all of the comments, so excuse me if this was already brought up… Did you f’ing use the Dirk Diggler tune from Boogie Nights?

    I will buy this, just for that.

    Brilliant.

  • man i got to class late today
    just for this news
    and its awesome

  • I knew it! If only I could search my post history here!

    Can’t wait!!!!!!

  • Speechless! Finally. Fighting GOTY.

  • @ 179/SOOPERGOOMAN187, Mastercard giftcards work and they carry them at Shoppers drugs?!?!?! There’s one literally a block or two from my house :O

    Wow. Thanks a alot. I owe you one. I’ve had my eyes on some DLC and games on the PS store for months now but wasn’t able to purchase them. Now I really can’t wait for this game to be released! Woohoo!

  • Will this game use ps3 to its advantage and let you use 6 dualshocks or 4 because its on the xbox360 too

  • Also, I just realized why everyone was complimenting the music for the trailer. I didn’t hear clearly the first time because I was watching TV at the same time but now that watching the trailer a second time, the music brings tears to my eyes. It was awesome in its purest form!

    Honestly Capcom, your last few trailers for games have been pure gold. Keep up the good work!

  • yo john y did i get deleted at ur friends list, u hatin e?

  • oh man can’t wait for this game. this thursday? yes! not a big street fighter fan but i gotta respect a great fighting game!

    Q.uic C.ash

    – Steve Sap Your #1 Asian Guy!

  • ZOMFG im so stoked for this game, buuuuuuuuut, my og 60gb jus died on me, it’s like a day or 2 out of cover, and sony is givn a bad time T_T, what do you sugest i do john?

  • 1 quick question John.

    Will MvC 2 support remote play?

    That would be Flocking amazing if it is in the works. If not no biggie I will still buy it.

  • 2 Play Local Match Demo? :( What about us with no IRL friends? :( :( :(

  • OMG!!!
    i’ve(along w/millons of ppl) been waiting for this for nearly a decade! Finally, i can kickass online with Wolvie, lol.

  • OMG!!! i remember playing this game way way back in the day!!! I am definitely buying this game!!! thank you for listening to the fans!

  • Now that MvC2 is out the way how about Powerstone 2? Make it happen John…

  • hey john does the demo have vs comp as well as 1p vs 2p?

  • Fantastic! Great News!

  • Thank you Capcom. Keep up the good work John. I passed on SF2 Turbo HD Remix and I passed on SF4, but I cannot pass up on this game. It was one of my favorite games growing up.

  • Excellent work, John!

    I’ve never played Marvel vs. Capcom before, but this looks to be a worthwhile purchase. I am eagerly anticipating this game.

    I’m sure this game will feature trophies, by the way. New games released in 2009 and beyond require trophies, unless of course this sneaks by as a “PS1 classic.” I have a feeling Capcom won’t let us down, though.

  • I loved this game! Can’t wait to get!

  • i have no reason to leave home from now on…thanks capcom FINALLY

  • Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 NIce Capcom!!!!!!

  • fist pumps of joy!!!

  • John I think you deserve some sleep, thanks for the great info. I’m also going to be dreaming of Uncharted 2 tonight while having “I Wanna take you for a ride” playing in the background……
    in my dream that is.

  • Will Europe get the demo on Thursday as well ?

  • HOLY!!!!!!!!

    i cannot wait to unleash “PHOTON CANNONNNNNNNNN!!!”

    LoL

    thank you capcom. now i dont need to go to ebay to find this game disc anymore. ;)

    btw, i kinda miss what Marvel vs Street Fighter announcer said when we finished off opponent with super finisher either solo or combination finisher

  • Lets talk money.

  • Well, we knew it was coming for a while. Still, MEGATON as the GAF kiddies say.

    I’ll take both copies for a ride when they come out.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring it out sooner than “summer” say “June” or even better “May.”

    I have the X-box version, but seeing if this is truly the Dreamcast port (AKA: Arcade perfect in everyway) I’ll be glad to not lovingly hold that copy as if it was my first born.

    So yoinking the demo and playing the crap out of it.

    Now, Capcom: PLEASE patch Street 2/Bionic Commando trophies already.

    ALSO RELEASE BREATH OF FIRE 3/4 PSX and BoF3 PSP on the PSN store already. I want to buy those. ALSO: Biohazard/Resident Evil 1-3 on PSX. These (Biohazard) are already on PSN in Japan. Sony’s emulator works for the Japanese version. You just have to change the SLUS number codes for the US version or hassle Sony to put those fixes for the Japanese version in the US versions. PLEASE. I want to buy them and support you, but if I have to continue ripping my PSX games to play them on PSP because Capcom/Square/Sony/et. al are lazy and stupid on the US market I will.

  • does this mean that MVC3 is coming i’m not stupid you guys did the same thing with street fighter 4 dropped hd remix to suffice the wolves until the full course came out!!!!

    please if there is a good i hope you all are listening to your users! and make a marvel vs capcom 3 please if there is a good take my money for MVC 2 and MVC 3!!!!

  • Good news.
    I haave this baby on my Dreamcast :) just a collectors item.

  • CAPCOM RULEZ!!!!

    Now all we need is more psone classics!

    MEGAMAN LEGENDS 1 AND 2!

  • John just asking…how are the odds of having dead Rising 1 on PS3..I just want to know if the only way to play it gonna be on 360 and wii.

    thanks for your time.

  • MAG – F****** – NETO!!!!

    I am so hyped for this!! If they could release online versions of 3rd Strike and Power Stone 2, I’d be so happy.

    You gotta love Capcom!

  • I can’t wait for Thursday too! I have the Japanese version on PS2, Japanese Dreamcast copy and PAL copy on Xbox!

    The fact that it is coming on online is just the justification to buy this again!!

    IT’S MAHVEL BAYBEE!!

  • marvel vs capcom 3 PLOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    street fighter 4 is for my grandpar we want mvc3

  • That was AWESOME!!! And great use of trailer music too, I feel like watching the 80s Transformers film now hahaha!!

    Fantastic!

  • hmm this probably since releasing MVC2, this will lead its way to a MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3 riiight?

    [;

  • Hey… when is Dead Rising going to hit PSN?

  • John,

    You deserve a pat on the back. :)
    Props to CAPCOM for listening to their fans. This is certainly the right way to make your customers happy!

    Thank you for the demo, and finally, my best wishes to everybody at the staff.

    Cheers!

  • siiiick news by the way. Hopefully early summer release. I almost bought a PS2 version a couple months back for $60

  • ” No need to purchase another game”

    guess you guys got the memo sent by all the ticked off fans of other playstation franchises…(not talking bout inFAMOUS)

    Im sure these have been asked but 280 something is alot to read through (however i will after i post)

    will there be trophies?
    custom music?
    championship mode like newely released SFIVCE (some reason that looks like the word suffice to me)

    Thanks J.D.

  • and i would pay 120 for MVC3 so theres 1 at least…

  • capcom lied people died
    thats funny….

    seriously DO NOT re-release U.N. Squadron as i will have to kill my self and never get a chance to play it.

    that damn sub level was still one of the best game expierences ever…or how about taking out the missle trucks….soo fing good.
