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:
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:
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,

Capcom FTW!

Tr3p1dat10n | April 27th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
My gut instinct tells me this game is going to be 15 bucks.
And I have an inflated gut right now, so I’m pretty sure I’m going to be right, give or take 5 bucks.
107
mixedkidbx | April 27th, 2009 at 7:01 pm

OverlordSpike | April 27th, 2009 at 7:03 pm

John Diamonon replied on April 27, 2009 at 9:02 pm

WiCkEd_Co | April 27th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
Wicked!!! I just hook up my Dreamcast yesterday to play this too.
Whats the price?
111
Moosehole | April 27th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
If Capcom as a whole was a chick I would do you SO hard right now!
I’m assuming there’s trophy support…
John Diamonon replied on April 27, 2009 at 7:10 pm
yup, trophies baby.
112
ShoeHorn69 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:05 pm

iExile | April 27th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Thank you John & everybody else at Capcom!
Man it’s been one hell of a Monday for PS3 owners. First the Uncharted 2 multiplayer news, then a new trailer for Infamous and now this. Marvel VS Capcom is back YAY!

Should I get this game, I really don’t like these types of games but I just feel like buying it. Need advice!

It’s the return of the Sprites, baby! Seems like everyone’s jumping on the Sprite-based-graphics-wagon lately. If it means a stronger focus on the gameplay, I’m all for it! :D
I, of course, still enjoy the polygon-heavy romps that we receive en masse, but it’s all about moderation between all sorts of games. After all, the PS3’s power should expand the potential of titles, not limit them. (At least that’s how I see it.)
121
gdogg666 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
hell ya now that will be fun john hey john add me on the psn so we can play sometime
122
Tikicobra | April 27th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
Actually, if you consider that 360 arcade games automatically have demos, the demo isn’t exclusive.
Still, cool news.
John Diamonon replied on April 27, 2009 at 9:00 pm
it’s exclusive because the PSN get’s the demo pre-launch…
123
Moosehole | April 27th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Good looking out, Capcom… You’ve now made two of my 3 dreams come true (Mega Man 9, MvC 2)
Just one more to go John! (Mega Man X9 w/SNES sprites)
You know you want it as bad as I do ;)
Thanks a ton for the demo this week too… that’s awesome!
124
mixedkidbx | April 27th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
oh yeah one more thing…
JOHN…..

DMPrince | April 27th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Is there going to be voice chat?
130
pody | April 27th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Hey John, are you allowed to say why its exclusive to the psn?
131
Letters2Kay | April 27th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Hey John!
Can we get some HD screenshots and a bunch of character sprite artwork put up somewhere? I’d love to make an awesome MvC2 PS3 theme with a different character for each icon. Any chance of that? I’d love to see more artwork posted for all Capcom games so I can make themes for them…
Search “by DK” or “by L2K” on any decent theme site to see my other work!
132
TheMissingLink | April 27th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
You guys are owning 2009, OWNING IT.
Give us a release of U.N. Squadron on PSN and I would declare you GODS!
133
Kamikaze135 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Hey, John, can we play against the computer in this demo? BTW, make a petition for a raise for whoever the hell made that trailer. I’m sure we’ll make it happen =)
134
maxxy209 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
You guys did see that it said free right ? Since when do you pay for demo’s on PSN.
Anyway when I get my wifi back, ill be sure to download this game =).
135
Zookey | April 27th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE!
Now remake Alpha 3 please and I will be set!
136
Keysersoze10033 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Finally! Sony is finally taking notes and taking charge. First, the Joker exclusivity for Batman Assylum, then putting the Uncharted 2 beta in Infamous, and now an exclusive demo to an incredible fighting game. Well done guys :). Next we should get XMB voice chat, cross-game invite, and a price drop and watch the money roll in :D.
137
Anubis80 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
This might be one that I buy. I havent bought any of the SF series for the PS3 yet.
138
CarlosX360 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Consider the game bought. Although I already have it on PS2, but I loove this fricken game.
139
Sarges24 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:30 pm

Invisibleman306 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Who’s bright idea was to add “the Touch” to that vid cause that man deserves a raise!!! If only Capcom can make Transformers vs Capcom game fighting. hmmmmmmmm awwwwwwwsome.
John Diamonon replied on April 27, 2009 at 9:04 pm

llucariny | April 27th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Great! Now Sammy/ArcSystemWorks needs to bring Guilty Gear XX to PSN and all my fighting wishes are going to be made true.
143
DanB91 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
First I wanna say: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I love this game and have it on the Dreamcast. Interesting fact that it’s being ported from the DC and not the arcade.
Question though:
You must have a second player to play the demo? You can’t verse the computer?
144
Invisibleman306 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Don’t forget MGS4 trophies. It’s almost the 1 year anniversary since MGS4’s release.
145
grashopper | April 27th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
So is the widescreen just stretched into fatty characters?
Man cool character choices for the demo…gotta download that
146
Chase167 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:34 pm

147
Maze13 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:34 pm

148
freeluv | April 27th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Good job on the exclusives! That’s the way to go

Kenshin71 | April 27th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
Why is no demo for Bionic Commando going to be available for PS3?
