Specialists in fighting games know that Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes is one of the best games of the genre.
Released in 2000, this sequel boasted a colossal roster of 56 selectable characters against the 15 of his predecessor, and opted again for a team combat model. However, he proposed differentiators as fights 3v3, a renewed assistance system and a simplified control scheme.
In addition, it opted for a visual style characterized by animated characters in two-dimensional sprites in front of three-dimensional backgrounds, which makes it a proposal with 2.5D graphics.
The game arrived in arcadias and featured a Dreamcast port released in that same 2000. He also had versions of PS2, PS3 (via PSN), Xbox, Xbox 360 (via Live Arcade) and iOS that were arriving in a space of 12 years.
Nevertheless, as of 2013 it is no longer available on PSN, Live Arcade and iOS, making it impossible to eventually buy it digitally.
But everything could change now that the study Digital Eclipse proposed to Disney and Capcom take the game out of oblivion and bring it back in version remastered to enjoy it on current platforms.
Mike Mika, head of the study, said in an interview with GamerHubTV that after getting 10 million dollars in an investment round, it was put on the table which IPs could have a remaster.
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 He immediately came into the conversation, as it is a title that the fandom has requested for years and that runs the risk of being forgotten despite the influence it exerted on the fighting game ecosystem.
Although the game was developed by Capcom, which was responsible for creating the digital ports for PS3 and Xbox 360 was Digital Eclipse when it was still called Backbone Entertainment.
“We are the last in contact with the game, so we feel like the child who is part of a divorce”said Mika before stating that Disney and Capcom are aware that the fandom yearns for the game’s return. He also noted that at this time there are conversations about it and they are trying to take them as far as possible.
He also clarified that final decision It will depend on two very different entities that have parts of the property of the game and that have their own reasons why they would or should not give the green light to this remaster.
