:norinradd:I STILL HAVE MY MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2 FOR THE PS2 BRAND NEW THNXS TO Ebay $110.00. FOR I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THIS CLASSIC GAME WAS NOT ONLY PULLED OFF THE SHELF BUT OFF THE MARKET BECAUSE CAPCOM DID NOT PAY IN FULL TO MARVEL INC. SO STAN LEE AND OTHER COLLECTIVE MINDS PULLED THE GAME OF THE MARKET. THAT'S WHY ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU SEE MORTAL KOMBAT VS. DC.UNIVERSE. AN EXCELLENT GAME FOR MY ORIGINAL 80GB. PLAYSTATION 3THREE, THEY COULD OF DONE MORTAL KOMBAT VS. MARVEL UNIVERSE BUT BEING $160,000,000 IN THE HOLE AIN'T NO LAUGHING MATTER. PEOPLE EXPECT TO BE PAID PERIOD. SO IT SEEMS LIKE CAPCOM PAID MARVEL AND SAID WE ARE SORRY. SO NOW THE NEW MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2 "NEW AGE OF HEROES" FOR MY PLAYSTATION 3THREE ORIGINAL 80GB. WILL BE GIVING MORTAL KOMBAT VS. DC.UNIVERSE A RUN FOR IT'S MONEY BUT PLEASE MAKE THE GAME EXCLUSIVELY 3D!!! NOT 2D!! "STREET FIGHTER IV" WHICH I HAVE "COLLECTOR'S EDITION" AS WELL AS "MORTAL KOMBAT VS. DC.UNIVERSE" "COLLECTOR'S EDITION" IS MADE 2D STREET FIGHTER ALWAYS BEEN 2D IT LOOKS GREAT ON MY PS3 BUT IT'S NOT MORTAL KOMBAT WITH IT'S 3D LOOK AND IT'S GORGEOUS DETAILING PPL. I KNOW IN MY ARCADE/VIDEO GAMING HEART MARVEL & CAPCOM WILL MAKE A BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO GAME THAT WILL RIVAL MORTAL KOMBAT VS. DC.UNIVERSE AND STREET FIGHTER IV. BEST WISHES TO THE MARVEL TEAM AND MY FRIEND STAN THE MAN LEE KEEP UP THE GGGRRREEEAAATTT WORK!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR LETTING PLAYSTATION 3THREE NETWORK HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE DEMO TODAY APRIL 30, 2009 BECAUSE MARVEL KNOWS FOR A FACT PLAYSTATION 3THREE IS THE NEXT GENERATION CONSOLE IN BLURAY TECHNOLOGY PERIOD!!!"REMEMBER HEROES NEVER DIE WE MULTIPLY"..."EXCELSIOR" "MOCHILLBXMC2007" "HI GRANDMA":):):)

All I know is that I'm excited.
I got lucky walking into a Gamestop years ago, saw this on the shelves, and snatched it up quickly for my PS2....Paid $55 USED!!!!!! Anywho, it broke on me and after talking trash to my brother about what team we would choose to beat down on one another, I'm not looking at who's missing or who should be included, let alone a possible MvC3...
I'm just waiting on the download.

:4d279cfd8c="swordofsutekh"]It seems a little silly including Marrow and Wolverine (Bone Claws) now, doesn't it?[/quote:4d279cfd8c]

You gotta think about when the game came out.....Marrow was a part of the X-Men and Wolverine was without his Adamantium. The game was right on target for the Comic timeline. It would seem weird looking back on it now.
