The second coming of MvC2 is upon us...


Pardon the language of the pic above (taken from NeoGAF), but Microsoft's PartnerNET service has a mysterious game I have been waiting for to be on Xbox Live Arcade (also ESRB rated for PSN as well) which is Marvel vs. Capcom 2. With the ESRB rating in place and this pic as proof that it exists, it is only a matter of time when do you go crazy with Hailstorms and Magnetic Tempests now that MvC2 will be out on Live Arcade and PSN soon (hopefully online and other stuff in). Even though a HD Remix-like version would have been cooler (then again, it will take forever because of new art like SSF2T HD Remix), at least it is still coming. Who knows when Capcom themselves will officially announce it, but as many have said, if out in a month or two, this could steal SSF2T HD Remix's thunder a bit. A possible scenario is Microsoft putting this to the Xbox Originals lineup, which means it will have the backwards compatibility issues that the Xbox version when it runs on 360. Another good thing is that Marvel wants a second coming of this game to happen too, so maybe those 2 companies finally made it happen and now in good terms that the dream MvC3 could happen someday (If Street Fighter IV can happen, this can happen too).

As a reminder why Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is awesome, here's one of many infamous videos to prove that.

This fourth part of the GH World Tour Blowout features "Beat It" by Michael Jackson (Yeah, that song and surprisingly fun too), "Re-Education Through Labor" by Rise Against, and "Assassin" by Muse.
