Gamespot: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Hands-On

One of the most welcome announcements at Capcom’s recent press event was the news that the publisher will release Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game was originally released in arcades in 2000 and was quickly followed by a release on the Sega Dreamcast console. The game later made its way to the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox in 2002 and 2003, respectively, but purists have always favored the DC version, since it was based on hardware that was similar to the NAOMI system–the same system that the original arcade version was released on. Thankfully the DC/Naomi code is what is being used for the upcoming PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, which will appear as downloadable games this summer. Capcom had a playable version of the game running on the PlayStation 3 at the event, and Gamespot promptly tore right into it.
