It's been rumored. It's been practically verified. Now it's announced: Marvel VS Capcom 2 will be coming to the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 this summer with a new visual filter and online matching modes.

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 best part? No unlockables in the game. All 56 characters are accessible from the get go.

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

Interesting that they still retain the rights to this. You'd think Activision would hinder its release until some sort of deal was worked out.

Oh shit that sucks. I loved unlocking the characters in the store, and spamming the back commands to get better deals on the prices. Oh well. Can't win 'em all.

No unlockables? That is horrible news for me....I love to unlock characters :(.

Yeah I liked unlocking them too.

In Japan you unlocked some characters by bringing your dreamcast mem card to an arcade and plugging it in and playing others. LOL what an awesome idea.

The Dreamcast version was the best version of that game...

Of course they would use the Dreamcast Code...

Why would anyone think that not unlocking things is a good idea? Unlocking it one of the best parts of any game!

Hmm, I do remember that critique about SSBB unlocking by zero punctuation. He invited people over and then they didn't have any of the cool characters they wanted to play lol.

Would prefer unlockables.

But i think im buying this on PS3 anyway

They did the same with Soul Calibur on xbl and even cut the mission mode. I was so pissed when I found it out X_X.

And oh a berserk fan =p? (Hates that Griffin guy).

Wonder why this was released so soon after sf4
