That's supposed to be the deadline for the official announcement of when it shall be released on Xbox-Live and the PSN

tu4ar is supposed to be the main theme song for the game "Take You for A Ride" but I can't get http://dev02.capcomusa.net/mvc2gmt/ to come up but... supposedly the official announcement date for what is probably the best 2d fighting game of all time.

Voiceovers is doable, but new sprites is a dream unlikely realized. New or edit-ready colors, though? Would love that. Maybe rebalancing the engine here and there. I'm just making it easy for Capcom.

The game, which was developed for the PS3 and 360 by Foundation 9 and is based on the Dreamcast code, will sell on the Playstation Network Store for $15 and on Xbox Live for 1,200 Microsoft Points.

During their event in Monte Carlo last week, Capcom said that a demo of the game will be coming to the Playstation Network on April 30 in North America and shortly thereafter in the UK. No demo for the 360 was announced.

It features an optional visual filter that smooths out the game's graphics and new online modes, including Ranked Matches and the Quarter matches found in Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, which allows up to four people to watch and chat while two others fight. It also features widescreen support with the gameplay in a 4:3 field, but the viewing area expanded.

The original, and this latest version, features 56 brawlers from the Capcom and Marvel universes. It also features 3 on 3 tag-teammatches and four button controls.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 too big for WiiWare (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/28/marvel-vs-capcom-2-too-big-for-wiiware/)

by Griffin McElroy (http://www.joystiq.com/bloggers/griffin-mcelroy/) { 11 hours ago } http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/001nintendo001.png (http://nintendo.joystiq.com/)

Sorry, WiiWare fans -- it looks like Capcom's recently down-counted (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/21/possible-marvel-vs-capcom-2-teaser-site-countdown/) brawler Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/search/?q=Marvel%20vs.%20Capcom%202) isn't coming to your beloved download platform. Responding to a forum post (http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/14381083/MvC2_announced_for_XBLA_and_PSN&post_num=68#288098901) inquiring as to why the fighter was deftly dodging the Wii, Capcom corporate head Christian Svensson said, "This is a downloadable play, not a retail play. We don't actually have any retail rights on this project. And there's no way to get anywhere near the WiiWare file size limit here."

In other words, Capcom doesn't have the right to sell the game at retail outlets (Marvel is probably holding some rights there), nor is the game tiny enough to fit on the WiiWare service. Perhaps Marvel or Capcom, sure. But both of them? In one download? Now you're just being ridiculous.

The top bar shifts to whatever character is in use. The other 2 bars are shrunken to show that those are for the sidelined guys on your team. Never played this game have you?

Uh, no.
The health bars are smaller.

I didn't mean you had any more or less health, I meant visually.


You can obviously see a difference.

Plus, they already said everything is 4:3, but the viewable background would be extended so it looks like 16:9 aspect ratio.

Report: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 scheduled for June 29 release (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/05/report-marvel-vs-capcom-2-scheduled-for-june-29-release/)

In reporting its Q1 2009 financial results, Marvel Entertainment has revealed a short release schedule for its upcoming licensed products, including those that require the frantic mashing of buttons. Though the dates are noted as being subject to change, the fine purveyors of POW! indicate that Capcom's PSN and Xbox Live Arcade release of cross-company brawler, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/marvel-vs-capcom-2), is currently set for release on June 29, 2009.

A quick flick through our Official Age of Apocalypse Calendar reveals that June 29th falls on a Monday, and since neither Xbox Live Monday nor PSN Monday exist, one may speculate that the game may be due sometime during the week of the 29th. We've asked Capcom for further information, though suspect that we'll receive little more than a 768-hit combo of non-commentary.

Capcom: Marvel vs. Capcom 3 'not part of deal' to re-release MvC2 (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/05/capcom-marvel-vs-capcom-3-not-part-of-deal-to-re-release-mvc/)

by Kevin Kelly (http://www.joystiq.com/bloggers/kevin-kelly/) { 1 hour ago } http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/001xbox001.png (http://xbox.joystiq.com/) http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/001playstation001.png (http://playstation.joystiq.com/)

If you're thinking the pending digital release (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/05/report-marvel-vs-capcom-2-scheduled-for-june-29-release/) of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is any indication that the path is clear for "Marvel vs. Capcom 3," think again. "The short answer is no, that's not any part of this deal," Capcom's Seth Killian lamented to Joystiq at a media event yesterday. "What we're hoping is that if people get really juiced about this title, and we can show Marvel that there's a lot of heat behind this, then they'll open up the door for us to do something with '3,' which is something we'd love to do." For now, licensing issues are preventing further developments.

The same is true for a North American release of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. "It's a lot of 'dance with the lawyers' on that one," explained Killian. "The rights holders for Tatsunoko in Japan are one company, but in the U.S. it's ... 13 companies -- and some are very attentive and some are not." So if you've been holding your breath for this one (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/tatsunoko-vs-capcom/), you might want to consider coming up for air.

Killian also told Joystiq that Capcom is considering releasing Marvel vs. Capcom 2-branded arcade sticks (à la the popular (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/17/capcom-more-madcatz-street-fighter-4-controllers-by-april/) SFIV controllers). "It's a discussion ... we would love to make it happen. If you saw the 'leak' (http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/14387838/Any_news_on_Marvel_vs_Capcom_2_Fight_Sticks?num=10&pg=1) of those MadCatz sticks, that was actually B.S. That was a complete fabrication, but it's something we would love to do."

Same reason we're never going to get Jump Ultimate Stars or any Super Robot Taisen games that aren't Original Generation games. Not even in the name of fan service.

Is Tatsunoko vs capcom made with the SF IV engine? Visually it looks similar. If thats the case I would kill for it to come out here.

No, different engine.
