Rumor Confirmed: Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes confirmed for XBLA, PSN. Brad found running naked in excitement in his hometown.
tu4ar.com counted down today to announce that Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes is being released to both platforms this summer.
Marvel vs Capcom is considered to be one of the most rare games to find from the previous generation. When the game was released for XBOX, PS2 and Dreamcast, it was limited to one run because Capcom lost the rights to the Marvel Universe at the time of its release.
Brad’s Take: Well, after the police here in my hometown let me out with a warning (and a proper cavity search, ouch), I cannot feel more than jubilation at the fact that one of the most elusive games is coming back for a new generation of gamers to play.
There is the fact that the luster of this game will be diminished though: MvC2 is horribly unbalanced and that Capcom will not change anything to the balance will mean that everyone will use the one unbalanced team in the game:
Yeah, like I’m gonna tell you.
Bryan’s Take: When Brad was getting arrested by the police for his disorderly conduct, I was in bed sleeping. When I awoke to this news, I too was excited but was able to control myself to not strip while going to work.
This is awesome news and this is a win for the PS3 owners. It’s good that both XBLA and PSN will be getting the game but the fact that the 360 controller is not made for fighting game just hurts. Unless you are willing to spend money on a 360 fighting pad or arcade stick, the game might be frustrating. The PS3 owners should have a better time with this game but could always do better with an arcade stick for the fighting games they love.
When seeing the video, they say there is online play which is wonderful but what if they did a 3-on-3 match with 6 players. One player from each team will control that player and so when they are tagged in, they need to fight them. The super combos and tags coming in can still only be exicuted by the player who is fighting. I think that could add an extra challenge and have more of a ‘team’ feel for this game.
Just think about it.
