It's been revamped (widescreen, HD compatible, online play) and will be available this summer. Also, there will be a free demo ONLY on PSN AND there are some fightsticks/fightpads being released for it:

Marvel vs Capcom FightStick TE
Marvel vs Capcom Fight Pad (Wolverine vs Ryu)
Marvel vs Capcom Fight Pad (Hulk vs Zangief)
Marvel vs Capcom Fight Pad (Spider-Man vs Strider)
Marvel vs Capcom Fight Pad (Iron Man vs Megaman)

An achievement list was leaked a few weeks ago. This is the next Xbox Live Arcade game I purchase.

Any pics of those sticks/fight pads?
There are usually a couple days a year I actually take off work so I can spend my day playing a new release I've been looking forward to.
This is going to be one of those days.

If you don't mind me asking, where are you guys located? I'd like to add you to my friends list if you are close to me.

Yay to PSN only demo. I will definately be getting this, now to go look up the stick designs.

Knowing capcom and their PSN games.. they are SOOO going to overcharge for this. I'd shell out 19.99 for it, even though it's a rehash of a perfect Naomi hardware/Dreamcast game I've played the hell out of.

But.. I'm guessing they make it 29.95 to begin with and add DLC characters and arenas like a week after releasing. Bloodsuckers!

It's $15 on PSN, and 1200 points on XBLA.

Also one thing I forgot to mention, it has the option for custom soundtracks. So if you hate to take that ride of music the game has, you can put in your own. And the characters for the demo are Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Iron Man for the Marvel side, and Ryu, Chun-Li, and Strider Hiryu for the Capcom side.

I'm going to buy it day one, but everyone can expect tons of Cable/Sentinel/Storm teams. Plus, I doubt if any server will be workable the first day due to the plethora of people that will be online.

Have.. ahem, HAD the demo. Tried to play it, nothing. It's not a fucking demo, it's a waste of space. Dont download it unless you have a second controller and a friend nearby. Choosing anything but single-console multiplayer leads you to an ad screen telling how *awesome* the actual game will be. Fucking hell, a decade-old game and the demo sucks fucking hard. No AI to go against, no intro/outro screens, no demo fights between the computer AI. WHAT.THE.HELL?!

After all this time it should be fucking FREE. Bah. Fuck you, capcom.

Can't you play online against people? I thought that's what they were pushing with the demo and the game for that matter.

I think it was just Capcom's way of getting newbies to the series get a feel of it, they just went about it the wrong way, as usual.

Getting noobs to get a feel? That's easy.. tell them it's street fighter and marvel. That's all they need to know. But the demo was 198 megs of bullshit. The full game's worth of data, but.. where's the game? I didnt see an option to buy the game, I didnt see a price. I just saw 3 options to play the game, and only 1 of which worked. I hooked up the second controller and fucking hell.. what's the point of releasing a console-only 2P game? This isnt fucking SNES/Genesis era. Throw us something we can PLAY!

darkwarrior3007 - No, the demo is local (offline) multiplayer only. Online would certainly have been great, but as far as I know online multiplayer is rarely seen in demos. I know RE5 had it, but I can't really remember any others. The full version will have online mp.

Torre82min - The full version isn't going to be available for purchase until summer. I must say I do agree with most of your points. If nothing else, they should have had a single player mode. Offline mp only is just garbage.

Also, I came across the answer to my own question regarding the sticks/pads: the whole thing was faked. Capcom has officially stated this.

That's odd, I wouldn't be able to play anyway because I have an XBOX 360 but when Shooter Demos come out they almost always have online multiplayer. I would have thought that an online fighting game demo would do the same thing. Either way I'm looking forward to getting this. I also just put BlazBlue on reserve and plan on getting King of Fighters XII. I'll be playing fighting games all summer.

I've always sucked at King of Fighters games. Something about them that I'm just not good at. Ah, who am I kidding? I suck at Street Fighter too, and probably will at Marvel vs Capcom 2 as well, lol. Didn't you kick my ass in Street Fighter 4 some time back, lol?

Lol, no I haven't played you in Street Fighter 4 yet but we did go back and forth in Soul Calibur 4. I'm no where near the best in fighting games, I'm getting my ass handed to me pretty regularly in Championship Mode Level G2 by all these guys who play in tournaments and the occasional "Flowchart Ken, Akuma, and Sagat". However I did recently get an "Unsporting Conduct" mark against my rep, I must of kicked that guy's ass pretty badly.

lol yeah I've received my fair share of "unsporting Conduct" marks against my rep. Xbox live would be a much better place with quitters and sore losers. However, that's just wishing for the impossible I guess. I was playing Mortal Kombat 3 yesterday, and 80% of my matches that I won I had the person quite on me. I hate quitters more than any other type of person online. I wish game developers would just eliminate the option of quitting during matches/games.

I like what Capcom has done with adding the disconnect % to Championship Mode so that you can choose if you want to fight them or not. I've had a couple of people quit on me and I'll give some the benefit of the doubt unless there disconnect % is insanely high. The highest I've seen is 7%. I figure not all of them have ragequitted but rather disconnected beyond their control. I've never understood the thought process behind quitting the match, everybody loses and if you were in tournament play you can't get away with it. I also think these are the guys using the "Turbo" button on their Fight Pads and Fight Sticks.

Yeah, probably. I agree, adding a disconnect feature was a good move. It's like some of these guys expect a 100% win rate. I mean really, what the fuck?
