Update: Jonah F. pointed out that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is a backwards compatible title, meaning there there's a possibility it will release as an Xbox Original versus the XBLA. We're cheering for the XBLA.
Marvel vs. Capcom fanboys rejoice! Word on the collective internet street is that the old-school fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will be releasing to the Xbox Live Arcade or as an Xbox Original in the not too distant future. The rumor stems from the game's listing on the ESRB ratings search website where the game was tagged with both Xbox 360 and PS3 descripters. Though, since its discover, the listing has mysteriously disappeared. No matter, we have enough photographic proof (see above) as we need. So, fanboys, how excited would you be for some HD Marvel vs. Capcom 2 XBLA action?

I've said it once and I'll say it 3 more times. I'll pay any amount of money for this game as long as there is either a music volume feature to turn that bullshit off or the music is totally remixed and by remixed I mean taken out completely.

Here's another source from a few days ago, that has nothing to do with this one:

I'll be picking this up on the PS3 so as not to support the XBLA. Plus, the D-Pad will kill it.

Who the hell uses the D-pad in a fighting games?

I do, I'm just not a fan of arcade sticks. And I hope the 360's pad will be okay for this game, it was for Soul Calibur 4 but Sony's Dualshock is better for fighting games IMO.

Why not support XBLA...? All of the pricing on things between the two has been the same so I can't see it being the "sticking it to MS's prices!" line of thinking. I'm confused.
I can agree with the dpad, but I hate the segmented one on the PS3/2/1 too. I wish I could find a cheap place to get that old 360 Nyko controller with the nice dpad.

I'm not supporting the XBLA based on the fact that they are leading the charge on high prices. And the PSN actually puts games on sale. And not the crap games.

Why would it be listed for PS2 and original XBOX? I doubt it's an arcade title because why else would they have it listed for the original systems?
Nonetheless, I love the game and would buy it no matter what!

So I heard this rumor earlier this weekend and decided to dust off my Dreamcast. I gotta say that I was less than impressed. It felt sluggish and the graphics were nothing to write home about. Lets just say that this game was much better in my memory than in reality of 2008. Hopefully they will be giving it some HD love before release.
Also it was my understanding that Marvel pulled their license from Sega, and they had to stop making MvC games so how come we are now seeing a release on XBLA?

Hell yeah. Leaves me a little bit melancholy though, with SC releasing this year and now this..... my dreamcast will finally take a well deserved rest. Like Master chief they will be called upon when needed.... :(
