ESRB listing shows Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the PS3
We've got bad news for these eBay sellers -- a poster on NeoGAF noticed that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 has been rated for both the PS3 and Xbox 360. Presumably, the title will be a downloadable one on the PS Store and XBLA. The ESRB has been a good source of leaks in the past, so we have no reason believe otherwise in this instance.
With the a total of 56 playable characters in the game spanning two vast fictional universes, hopefully Capcom doesn't plan on charging us $1.99 per character download.

If it has playable online versus, I'm in. Otherwise, I'll play my upscaled PS2 copy.
Wonderflex @ Oct 13th 2008 2:06PM
I doubt anybody would ever play it. My friends were regular tournament players who would go to Evo each year and would vouch that any lag in the game would make serious play be out of the question with a large set of characters.
For those who aren't die-hard then online would be great.

Wow, doubly gay because A: You're playing the Playstation version instead of selling it and buying like five DCs with the $$, and B: You're upscaling low-res sprites.
Yeah, if it's not DC/arcade some people will DL but the community won't care when it's so cheap to get into the game already.
[PARiAH!] @ Oct 13th 2008 12:25PM
Beats going on Ebay at least.
TTownEP @ Oct 13th 2008 6:22PM
Yeah, sheesh, Buy It Now for $600?!?!? Granted it's factory sealed, but dang!
Anthony @ Oct 13th 2008 12:33PM
This is a God-send for 40GB owners. Thank you Capcom.
Eric E @ Oct 13th 2008 3:05PM
yeah but im a 60gb owner with an original copy, all this does is maybe lower its worth?
brighenne @ Oct 13th 2008 9:12PM
I never understand why people think publishers would care about the used game market.
Gaucho @ Oct 13th 2008 12:37PM
If there's something like later downloadable character patches or some enhancement I'll get it but otherwise I'm fine with my upscaled PS2 version. Make Marvel vs. Capcom 3 damn it! or DC versus Capcom (wishful thinking)
Torgo @ Oct 13th 2008 12:46PM
Megaton?
Big D. @ Oct 13th 2008 12:49PM
wow this is gonna be huge! I've never gotten the pleasure of playing this so I'll surely buy it (if the price is right) but like I said I know this'll be huge...
Gemini Ace @ Oct 13th 2008 12:51PM
OMFG!
Sabi @ Oct 13th 2008 12:52PM
I hope they release this with the new Vs. Series...that would be really cool.
I also hope they add some new Characters like Strider Hien, Phoenix etc...
(stuff we haven't seen yet)
But thats wishful thinking, but what else can i do?
Devil240Z @ Oct 13th 2008 12:59PM
for the love of god please be the dreamcast version. or a direct port of the arcade version.(same thing right?)
Vincent @ Oct 13th 2008 1:03PM
Pretty good!! Now to wait for SF3 3rd Strike
Gambit07 @ Oct 13th 2008 1:51PM
Patience is a virtua Vincent...
strike @ Oct 13th 2008 1:09PM
They should make a PS3 Fanboy Vs. Xbox Fanboy.............Huh? Huh?
badbrain @ Oct 13th 2008 1:12PM
Am i the only person who realises that this is a PS2 game being offered for download?! Across all PS3 systems! Including ones without BC!
Josh @ Oct 13th 2008 1:51PM
It's probably the arcade version, and it's not like it's a very graphically complicated game, anyway.
Devil240Z @ Oct 13th 2008 11:01PM
the ps2 version is gimped compared to the arcade/dreamcast version I hope its not the ps2 version!
The Shite @ Oct 13th 2008 1:13PM
Thanks I just came pissed and shat my pants.
Squirtforce @ Oct 13th 2008 2:26PM
Weird, I just shat your pants also!
francisco @ Oct 13th 2008 1:13PM
i hope it has online
ocdog45 @ Oct 13th 2008 1:36PM
OMG!!! this is fantastic
brettjr @ Oct 13th 2008 2:06PM
AWESOME! Can't wait...I just wish it was MvC1. Number two was sorta fruity with the 3D backgrounds and strange music.."I'm going to take you inside of me!" WTF?
Christian @ Oct 13th 2008 2:38PM
I'm relatively new to this site, and I usually read annonymously. Can someone explain to me why the ps2 version is going for so much on ebay? Thanks.
Ron @ Oct 13th 2008 2:59PM
Its a rare game and has a large fan base. I still have my original copy for Dreamcast.
Stellarpimp @ Oct 13th 2008 3:43PM
@Ron -
I still have the Dreamcast version as well. I believe the Japanese version of the game allowed for online play with it too (not saying anyone is still playing that on the DC). If this is a straight port, no need to spend any money here.
sean @ Oct 13th 2008 3:05PM
This could be bigger than we expect. Offering this as a downloadable game they could put in some new characters as addons for a couple bucks adding to the 56 character roster hey they even can add a new sub boss in there if they want. Great news but I already have a backup copy of it for dreamcast and a capcom collection disc that has mvc2 cvs2 sf3ts pf ss2t all on one disc, and I can switch music between the the games. So if there not offering anything new ill pass.
C.S @ Oct 13th 2008 3:16PM
Marvel vs Capcom 2 in glorious HD? SOLD!
Loonknight @ Oct 13th 2008 4:04PM
I'll still not be selling my copy, but I may purchase this one if true and if the price is right.
burandon @ Oct 13th 2008 5:16PM
This is good.
Am I the only one, though, that likes the 1st better? It just felt more fun...
Villiersz @ Oct 13th 2008 5:23PM
i just left a mess in my pants...
PSN: VIPJIGGA
Villiersz @ Oct 13th 2008 5:25PM
no not that mess, a different type of mess. Or at least a combination.
lorddshadow @ Oct 13th 2008 5:54PM
$500 for a game? right...
c1utch @ Oct 13th 2008 6:02PM
This is the GREATEST ARTICLE I HAVE EVER READ!!!!!
wocyob @ Oct 13th 2008 6:57PM
HOLY shiiiiittttt this is a the greatest news i ever heard!!!! i cant waITT
sorry for being a spaz but im really happy... i saw this game at the store for 60 bucks like 4 years ago and didnt have enough money at the time to get it.. and after that i was sooo pissed that i didnt get it... but this this is just soo epic
jon @ Oct 13th 2008 7:01PM
Please bring the dreamcast or arcade version!!!!!
Chow @ Oct 13th 2008 8:54PM
It probably won't be the PS2 version, as Sony has "said" that there will never be PS2 Classics for download. I would make a guess that this is an arcade version similar to MKII on the PSN.
DrSmooth @ Oct 13th 2008 10:16PM
Would ya believe I just won this game last week on ebay??? Well, I guess I'll try to put it back up for auction once it arrives (if it arrives).
Shanic @ Oct 14th 2008 3:57AM
It's too good to be true! *Tear*
DemiRonin @ Oct 15th 2008 3:51AM
YES!! Freakin sweeettt. My copy got stolen. I was thinkin about buying a used copy for 100$ just yesterday! Online would be cool, but I agree this game is rather fast for lag. SF3 online and downloadable baby!!!
Moonfrost @ Oct 27th 2008 10:38AM
Ummm...stop complaining or even talking about the outrageous prices on ebay...GET A DREAMCAST AND GET THE DREAMCAST VERSION!!! sheesh! it's not like there's no other way to play it or that this is going to be the first way to play it in years. Besides the Dreamcast version is the best, you can get a Dreamcast on ebay for like 20 bucks plus MvC2 is like 10-20 (20 being the most, probably new) bucks. The only thing that would make this version (if it ever comes out) better would be HD support (I don't even have an HDTV but it's awesome for the people that have it), online play is useless in fighting games (it's boring as hell) but it's the trend for people because of it doesn't have online play it's not good (hahahaa!!!) but yeah whatever.
