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

  • wow lets go for four in a row…..win=fail.

  • LoL, like some1 said… which is so true! Capcom said they’re gonna bring trophies to sf2 hd remix + bionic commando rearmed. Guess what? They never did :P. I have a feeling they’re lying about this, but oh well all I care about is the game!

    • Show me where I promised trophies for SFHD and I\’ll send you a copy of RE5 and SF4.

      BCR, well, I\’m not happy about how that turned out myself.

  • This is gonna be another big waiting for the europeans? Like street fighter II HD?

  • Good old memories on dreamcast..i will think about this one.

    CAPCOM, please don’t forget to bring back Samanosuke (a new Onimusha). There is truly to game announcement as i waiting as much as a brand new Onimusha..i even restarted Dawn of Dreams last week for the 4rth time.

  • We are awful far into 2009 now so I doubt capcom is lying about the trophies. Even though this is a pre 2009 game Im pretty sure once they upscaled they had to have it reaproved by sony and if this reaproval of their new content was done post 2009 then they would have to have trophies or sony would reject it.

  • uuh, when is this comming out in EU, and the demo? I hope we don’t have to wait months!

  • you have got to be kidding me

    ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    We in Europe have no PSN Cards and I can’t use a credit card for personal reasons.

    why god why do I have to be tortured like this I have never played a game as much as MvC2 on my old DC.

  • already have this for PS2…

  • Will the demo be on the EU PS store as well, holla back please!!!

  • Hey John, hows it going?

    It’s nice to finally have an exclusive demo, I feel so honored. I would also love nothing more than to have this on a disk! That would be bad ass.

  • @247 JesseHayFL

    …yep..sure is classy when CAPCOM tries to slap down other developers’ hard work.

    Maybe CAPCOM should get their own house in order (lack of demos/lack of trophies/sub par ports/no MH on PS3 or LP2 announcement etc) before lashing out at other companies.

    • lol..How was that lashing out at other devs? If anything, that was a rsponse to a program we had with MS for SFHD/Commando 3.

      Lack of demos? LOL. All Capcom PSN games have demos. How many PSN games don\’t? Count em.

      Know your facts son.

  • Stan Bush for the win. Love the music on the trailer. Have not heard that song since I last watched the animated Transformers Generation 1 movie from 1986. Can’t wait for this game. I had this on Dreamcast years ago until my system broke.

  • Hi John, thanks for this awesome news,can’t wait to try out the demo!!!!

    By the way I have a question for you that’s off topic, during your time at Capcom up until now, which of their games you like the most & which of them you don’t like at all?

  • IF Capcom vs SNK 2 got a re-release, please, dont re-use the same sprites from other games… I still have nightmares with Morrigan…

  • the demo will have an expiration date??, because it’s Fking awesome, it’s almost a full game

    thank you very very much

  • Noice! Time to be nostalgic once again

  • “trophies were never promised for SFHD and aren’t going to be implemented…”

    True. Trophies were never promised, however
    when it was first released info stated in reference to trophies was “not at launch”. Naturally, this got everyones hopes up.

    Interesting that a definitive answer is provided within the announcement of another game.

  • Any talks about Home Integration?

  • Anybody have a sock? j/k lol Should I sell my ps2 copy finally?!

  • Hey John hopefully you can answer this but, our website wants to know who we can talk to regarding this game. Like PR wise you or someone else? We are excited that this is making a comeback!

  • WOW WOW WOW…talk about irony. This past Sunday, me and my work buddies were just talking to each other saying how great it would be to get this game again. We searched all over google looking at pics and vids recalling the glorious days of constant battle. And on Monday its announced.

  • Never played this game, but was always interested! Marvel characters? Capcom characters? Sheesh, what could be better?!

    I do wonder, and ask though . . . will/can you make a new MVC game? I’m sure the fanbase is larger than you think and they’d love it!

  • DAY 1 buy for me, especially with trophy support!!!!!!!!

  • You guys at Capcom always have PSN covered. Heck, you’ve always got your fans covered.

    First, the worthwhile SFIV update, and now we get a MvC2 demo? You’ve got my $15 in return for this monstrous newsdump.

    You’ve… got me feeling like Sicily in the middle of Italy :D

  • The new music from the trailer to Rommel Hernandez making this exclusive to PSN made my day, Thank You guys and CAPCOM
    Day 1 buy for me!

  • HD remix or port?

  • Make sure capcom puts this song up for download on the store, live you’ve done for a couple other songs :).

  • Damn but do any one thinks that this game will kill street fighter 4? or atlest loose some sf4 gamers to M vs C2

  • Wow capcom is starting to come around. I suppose the value of my hard copies (dreamcast/ps2) dropped. :(

  • Any chance we’d see MvC 1 or Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter. Heck I’d pay top dollar for some other Capcom fighters like Darkstalkers, Power Stone and Star Gladiator.

  • Best news of the year!!!!
    Thank you Capcom!

  • Great, thanks John and Rommel.
    Hopefully it will cost $10 or less, cause otherwise I’ll have to give it a second thought.

    Please now make Capcom vs SNK 3 with 2D HD graphics (symilar to HDRemix and the upcoming KOF) it would be awesome.

    BTW John you rock.

  • Bout time. And with online capabilities added this game just got 10x more fun for me. Gonna be a good summer for fighting games it seems :D

  • A piece of awesomeness…

    Brilliant, thank you very much.

    Could it be possible to release the original one for the PSX? That would be great, and can you just wonder how would it fit on PSP?? Dammit!! =:-D

    Great work. I’m looking forward to see it in the Capcom corner of PS Store.

  • cool. this is an amazing announcement. but uhhhhhhhh what about price? considering they didnt even revamp the graphics really this shouldnt go for more than the usual 5.99 of classics. maybe even 9.99 since i know they like to jack up prices for digital releases more and more but there’s no way they can charge more than that. i mean the game is gonna sell they dont need to rip people off(wheel of fortune ring a bell). oh well i’m probably buying it anyway.

  • OK Capcom this maybe you are sucking my money away but in good way first you really my fav. childhood SF2 aka Super Street Fighter 2 turdo HD remix next you are remake MVC2 i love playing this game at my friend and it was fun i want it so i can get better i get two question is they going to be unlockable characters and you going to add new Character as well like X and Zero in japanese MVC3

  • Looks pretty good, but why make the demo exclusive to PSN? 360 users should get the chance to play it too…

    Not really the kind of game i’m into but hey, i’ll download the demo. You never know until you try it.

  • my balls just fell on the floor. best news i heard all week..

  • By the way John. love to see you actually replying to comments people leave on your posts, even only more people would do you. You and that guy from Creat are the only people i see doing it.

  • *if only

  • I love the song. Brings back memories. Capcom, YOU’VE GOT THE TOUCH!

  • John!

    I’m glad you’re not the type to shy away when the hard answers are asked. I think some people should just get over trophies for SF2HD… Trophies DONT make the game!

    I’m a Capcom fan and thank you for always bringing us the news, responding, and letting the developers what the PEOPLE want(like in-game xmb and trophies). Thank you!

  • Know*

  • the only problem is that Backbone Entertainment is working on the game, which means the game will be broken for months after release a la SSF2THDR

  • @John,
    SF2 doesn’t have a demo on PSN…
    So please know YOUR god damn facts <_<

  • Sup John! Can’t wait for the PSone games! (Breath of Fire III & IV please) Love the HD updates to classic games. Wish all games would get widescreen support when re-released. Keep up the good work holmes. :)

  • Is there any posibility of Final Fight or Cadillac And Dinosaurs on the future?
    That would be soooooo awesome.

  • John I did some searching to find any trophy promises for SF2HD. Here is what I found. It will be pretty easy for you to weasel out of this though. :P

    https://blog.playstation.com/2008/11/20/super-street-fighter-ii-turbo-hd-remix-cometh/

    “Trophies: Not at launch” You didn’t just say there wouldn’t be any trophies, leading some people to believe there would be a future patch. Probably because Capcom knows that many gamers will not buy games that don’t have trophies unless they will be patched.

    https://blog.playstation.com/2008/11/25/street-fighter-hd-%E2%80%93-it%E2%80%99s-finally-here/

    “It’s been fun responding to the trophy issue for like the umpteenth time! ;) We hear you, though.”

    That last line could also have led people to believe that trophies were being worked on.

    RE5 please? Lol just kidding. On behalf of many gamers I’m asking that next time you just outright deny any trophies so as to not raise any hopes.

    Ok?

  • Hey John, I hope you’re still reading this comments. Is it possible to get that trailer up on PSN?
    I absolutely LOVE that song, as well as that Joe Eposito song you did for SSFIIT:HDR.
