Capcom’s told VG247 that its not currently working on any more updates to its historic fighting games, but will almost certainly revisit its older scrapper titles in the future.

“I’ll be honest: right now we have nothing in development, but we’ve been pleased with how our fighting games have performed and our re-releases have performed, so I’d be shocked if we didn’t explore that further,” Capcom US business chief Chris Svensson said in a phone interview yesterday.

The publisher’s recent fighter releases needed some space “to breathe,” added the exec.

“We have put out a fair number of fighting games in a very short window,” he said.

“We had HD Remix, Street Fighter IV, MvC2, we’ll have Tatsunoko in the pipeline, and we have who knows what coming that we can’t talk about yet, but suffice to say there’s been a lot of fighting activity out of Capcom in the last year-and-a-half, and we probably need to give all of those products a little room to breathe and perform before we do some more.”

Svensson was talking to us for this week’s podcast.

Street Fighter IV may have made its way to PC, but if you’re waiting for more recent Capcom fighters on your desktop you probably shouldn’t hold your breath.

“To get to Marvel Vs Capcom 2, there are no plans to bring it to PC, nor are there plans to bring HD remix to PC,” said Capcom US boss Christian Svennson, talking to VG247 for this week’s podcast.

Svensson said elsewhere in the interview that he’d been “satisfied” with SFIV PC sales, and that promotions to push the fighter’s PC SKU will be hitting soon.

Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is now up on Live, says the Major.

Blurb:

Fans asked, and Capcom listened! One of the most popular fighting games of all time returns! MvC 2 brings legendary characters from throughout Marvel and Capcom history to duke it out in an insane tag-team fighting experience. Featuring an unprecedented 56-character roster and now with enhanced HD graphics and online play, one of the best fighting games ever just got better! Buy it today!

Thanks, Evil Avatar.

Capcom put out three new movies of Marvel Vs Capcom 2 earlier today, one one Hulk strategy, one of Zangief strategy and one on using the two beefcakes against each other.

Get them after the break in that order. It’s out for 360 and PS3 at the end of July.

Capcom’s released three new vids of Marvel Vs Capcom 2, as seen after the break.

It’s out at the end of July, and looks to be a bit of a no-brainer for anyone with no brain. Joking. It looks awesome.

Thanks, Kotaku.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will be hitting PSN and XBL in late July.

“MvC2 is not actually coming out on June 29, sorry guys. Not sure where that rumor came from, but it’s going to be closer to the end of July,” said Capcom via Twitter.

Reason it was rumored for June 29 was due to a May financial report released by Marvel.

Just keeping you informed.

Gamestop’s listing Marvel Vs Capcom 2 as a retail product. Gigaton.

Apparently the shelf SKU will include:

• Redemption Code for full game

• 8 page color manual with artwork and moves list
• 1 month free subscription to Marvel Digital Comics ($9.99 value)

August 13, says the US retailer. We’ll check to see if this is a Euro thing as well.

Following its megaton event at E3 this afternoon, Microsoft has announced that some new Xbox Live Arcade titles will launch this summer.

IGN’s posted up a lengthy gameplay edit from the Marvel Vs Capciom 2 remake, showing off special moves and combos. Get it after the break.

Looks pretty much like Marvel Vs Capcom 2 to us. That is to say, “awesome”.

It’s out on June 29.

Looks like a Capcom vs. Marvel 3 is not going to happen anytime soon, according to Capcom.

Capcom community manager Seth Killian was asked if gamers can expect the title any time soon by Joystiq during a media event yesterday, and his answer was not very hopeful.

“The short answer is no, that’s not any part of this deal,” he said.

“What we’re hoping is that if people get really juiced about this title, and we can show Marvel that there’s a lot of heat behind this, then they’ll open up the door for us to do something with ’3,’ which is something we’d love to do.”

The biggest problem, he said, has to do with licensing issues preventing further development.

However, there is the possibility of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 arcade sticks heading to retailers.

“It’s a discussion … we would love to make it happen,” he revealed. “If you saw the ‘leak’ of those MadCatz sticks, that was actually B.S. That was a complete fabrication, but it’s something we would love to do.”

More through the link.

Marvel Entertainment has slated Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for a June 29 release on PSN and Xbox Live.

The date was revealed during its Q1 2009 financial results.

June 29 is a Monday, so the title will probably hit on the normal update days instead.

Just keep checking back.

Capcom can’t release newly-announced fight revamp Marvel Vs Capcom 2 on Wii because it only has download rights for the game.

“This is a downloadable play, not a retail play,” said Capcom’s ever-present Christian Svennson.

“We don’t actually have any retail rights on this project. And there’s no way to get anywhere near the Wiiware filesize limit here.”

Unfortunate. If you don’t own a 360 or PS3. Don’t forget the PS3 demo this week, 2D scrapper fans.

The PS Blog‘s confirmed that a demo for Marvel Vs Capcom 2 will release exclusively for PS3 this week.

Included:

• Two-player local matches
• Six available characters – Ryu, Chun-Li, Strider, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Wolverine
• Seven selectable environments
• Upscaled 1080p graphics
• Widescreen or 4:3 aspect ratio
• Two graphic filter options for character sprites

This is completely awesome. Unless you don’t have a PS3. Hit the link for more.

Gamespot’s posted up a five-minute direct-feed movie of Marvel Vs Capcom 2 from CAPTIVATE. Get it after the break.

The ubiquitous Christan Svennson’s talking over the top of it, and there’s tons of play in there.

There’s an impressions article here.

In addition, IGN’s posted up six videos from the same event.

It’s out this summer for XBLA and PSN.

Capcom’s confirmed that Marvel Vs Capcom 2 will get an update version for PSN and XBLA this summer. There’s a first teaser video after the break.

Quick points:

1. It’s based on the Dreamcast code base – Capcom wanted to being the “best version” into the HD era, apparently.
2. There’s online play – Dur.
3. HD upscaling options – “Crisp,” “Smooth” and “Classic” visual settings will be included.
4. Widescreen – The gameplay area will be in a 4:3 field, while the viewing area will be widescreen. For purists and competitive play, a 4:3 option (with vertical bars on the left and right) will be included.
5. No unlocking – All 56 characters will be available from the start of play.

Get all the details here.

An XBLA version of Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is looking pretty much certain after Achievements for the title popped up here and ShopTo starting offering tournament sticks yesterday.

Capcom hasn’t confirmed the game as yet, but has already said there’ll be more 2D fighter reboots to come from the publisher following the release of the HD version of Street Fighter II.

More soon, hopefully. Thanks Gamerbytes and Blerk.

Evo 2009 will take place on July 17-19 in Las Vegas, the event’s confirmed.

The tournament-heavy gathering focuses solely on fighting games, the roster this year including Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Soulcalibur IV, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core and Street Fighter III: Third Strike.

There’s more detail on the official site.

Thanks, Kotaku.

NeoGAF members have discovered that Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 has received an ERSB rating for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The natural assumption is that the arcade fighter will soon be making an appearance on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, but nothing is concrete just yet.

Thanks, Kotaku.
