Marvel Vs. Capcom on XBLA? Marvel hopes so

Speaking to Gamasutra, Marvel vice president of interactive media Justin Lambros intimated that he would like to see classic Marvel fighting games hit game download services like Xbox Live Arcade. Producing games like X-Men: Children of the Atom, Marvel Superheroes and massive fighting mashups like X-Men Vs. Street Fighter and Marvel Vs. Capcom, fighting fans have fond memories of the collaboration between Capcom and Marvel. When asked about the possibility of such games hitting a service like XBLA, Lambros said, "Yeah, those are among my all time favorites. I'm a huge 2D fighting fan... the Marvel Vs. Capcom stuff has a definite close place in my heart, so we definitely wanna see that stuff live on." It seems that there aren't any firm plans to bring back any specific titles, so don't get your hopes up just yet.

Bring it...please

Of course I would need that frag thingy to connect my dual-shock because 360 controller stinks for fighters of this type, well its really the D-Pad.

I'm also suppose to be building a MAME arcade machine( I got my Roms)..this game is dope.

[Bloodmask]

I have a Mame arcade cabinet. It has all of the add on controllers on the interface too. Track-ball, SNK twist top joystick for games like Ikari Warrriors and Victory road.

It is really cool. Nice thing is you can open up the cabinet and udate mame with your laptop or even LAN it to you PC. So you can have a constant update with all the new games.

Good luck with your project. I only hope that one day they add online play to Mame32......That would make it pefect.

[kewlkat007]

Imagine online play, just sick I tell ya. Hey, do you have pics of your cabinet?

I'm not sure, if I should buy and old one and gut it, or should I build it? I was so into this, like 2 years a go but never had the space to do it. I know, I want a 27inch arcade monitor, instead of a PC with S-video connection, to the graphics card. A Wells Gardner Monitor is expensive tho.

Really, When I get my own house, I would like to have a 4-player one, for games like, Simpsons, Gauntlet, Spiderman, and Xmen and such. Over 2,000+ roms is crazy. It's heaven, for a gamer.

To the guy below me, it's not that I suck but the Xbox d-Pad is horrible for games that require "half circle Motion moves and such". That old Street Fighter(on xbla) game is mad slow, they brought out the wrong one, I was hoping for Alpha 3.

I had that thing, that connects a dual-shock to the xbox, and I know they have it for the 360. PS controller, is great for fighters, well just a more responsive D-Pad really. nutin beat the old SEGA controler that had 6-buttons for fighters of the SF type, like this. The PS It sucks for FPS's tho.(IMO) It's the Analog locations.

Yes this brings back Dreamcast Memories, I wonder if they will also bring outCapcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000, so I can unleash some God Rugal and Shin Akuma on this Mofo.

[WafflesID]

anyone actually try that madcatz arcade joystick with fighters?

[BloodySinner]

Capcom, PLEASE bring this to PSN and Xbox Live Arcade!!! And I totally I agree with you, kewlkat007. The controller's d-pad for the 360 is garbage.

[donscrillinger]

1st off kew your very wrong the d-pad on the 360 is nice i can use it very well in street fighter .just cuz u suck doesn't mean that the d-pad sucks its you son .but anyway plz CAPCOM bring marvel vs capcom 2 to xbox live .it just became bc for the 360 but the game is not the easy to find and its 69.99 more than an 360 game so this would be fresh handle your biz CAPCOM with MS and get it done

[GnaM]

Modern console D-pads are universally considered the be insufficient among hardcore fighting fans, whether its PS2, Xbox, PS3, or 360. The Saturn was really the last system with a D-pad respected by competitive players, which is why nearly everyone serious buys/builds a HAPPS or HORI arcade stick of some sort.

So don't be so quick to flame people, you crybaby fanboy... and for god sakes, stop typing like a n00b and learn how to freaking punctuate.

[WafflesID]

you ARE kidding right?

It's universally accepted EVEN AMONGST the most hardcore 360 fanboys that the D-Pad on the xbox controllers is the worst in the industry.

There is just no arguing this one.

[Darkiewonder]

Bring it on over. Then I'll go buy an MS Point Card just for it.

[Bloodmask]

SF2turbo being my favorite. This game would really be awesome online. But for some reason every Capcom 2D fighter I have played online has given me horrible lag problems.

This goes all the way back to the original XBOX. If the online is good I hope they also port over SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos. That was also an awesome game and I prefer SNK's art style over Capcoms for 2D.

[kewlkat007]

You beat me to it...#1.2

[Da Ghostdog]

Marvel -vs- Capcom 2 on Live (Left eye drops a tear)!!!

[MK_Red]

Marvel is not alone, I seriously hope so too!

[Ortiz83]

well, i wish i could have this game on the psn or any street fighter game in general..

[Klopek]

I remember stumbling upon the play time counter in the options menu and being horrified to find that I had spent more than 130 hours playing. Twas my first Dreamcast game - and ultimately one of my favourites.

[zerolinkgannon]

Release this $hit Now!!!!! I cant find this game any damn where!!! I will own somebody just to get this game dammit!!!!

[zantetsuken]

I'm sorry, the D-Pad sucks big time. I was so pissed when SFII landed on XBL, it was just terrible due to the d-pad. Sigh, I hope this comes to PSN.

[Ri0tSquad]

I wouldn't mind buying an arcade stick just to play this classic again. Best out of the VS series IMO I play this and UMK3 on mame every now and then. I hope Marvel and Capcom come together to bring this on XBLA I will cry if they do it w/ some online pay I might even renew my Xbox live subscription again just for this.

[GnaM]

I think there are complications because Capcom no longer has the rights to tbe Marvel license. I'm sure if they really cared, they could get things worked out, but 2D fighters are clearly the last thing on Capcom's mind right now. In any case, do we really need more half-assed re-releases and ports from Capcom? Please don't give them another excuse to avoid making a NEW Street Fighter or Capcom VS game.

[Marceles]

That would be so tight if MvsC 1 or 2 came on XBLA or PSN. One of the only reasons I dust off my Dreamcast.

[Bnet343]

Marvel hope so, so that means we need the go from Capcom. Come on please do this with online play.

[sumfood4u]

It would be better if they added or said MVC3 OTW! that would make my day!

[heavyarms]

I want this game now. for 5 bucks come on thats a steal. just add all the capcom games i will buy them.

[The Wood]

good snag for xbl if you get it (just like bomberman). please bring it to psn capcom

[Tempo]

peanut barz...gimmie gimmie PLZ get this on live now!! Talk about dangling a carrot, d@mn u Capcom don't toy with me. I will delete that turd of a SF game my bro DL if this does comes true.

Oh and the D-pad blows big time.

[UltramanJ]

I had the DC version back when it came out and currently own the PS2 version,but would still buy it on XBLA if it ever released. I also wouldn't mind Xmen vs Street Figher.

[sheng long]

i don't care what it comes out for, i will buy it and pay for it.
If this comes out it's all over, it will be pure ownage on my part.

[fopums]

please bring MvC2 to Live and the PSN! and with online multiplayer as an add on...wow I'd turn into a hermit, I love me some MvC!

[CrimsonAngelic]

is that games like fatal fury, guilty gear, and king of fighters are on PSN and Xbox live.
My thing is, if you wanna bring it out, why not " tweak" it. A new character here or two with a clean up of the graphics with online play and just put out Marvel vs Capcom : Gold edition or something! Man thatd be the shizznat!

Now if someone puts Killer Instinct on somethin <_< >_>

[sicknnyc]

Not Puzzle fighter... also GGx2, SFA3, and SFvs.SNK Online. X)
