Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is a lot of things. Incredibly complex, maddeningly addictive, crazy/cool, and home to what's perhaps the most grating (yet strangely alluring) theme song of all-time. Fans and foes know the tune simply as "Take You For a Ride," and it seems that little ditty has become the theme to what might be the official announcement for the upcoming re-release of the extremely hard-to-find fighter.
With used copies going for upwards of $80 (and that's just the original Xbox version), a recently unearthed website under the URL www.tu4ar.com hints at bigger, better things, and features a giant number '2' in the background while a clock ticks down to its unknown conclusion. While many of us would hope Capcom finally answers the cries of gamers everywhere and decides to release a version for the current-generation of consoles, this could easily be a misleading distraction. Although in its favor are recent MvC2 developments, including leaked ESRB ratings, as well as Xbox Live Achievements, which could signal yet another release and/or HD Remix is on the way.
With fighting games back in style (thanks partly to Capcom's own stellar Street Fighter IV) and the company on a roll, let's hope this fan-service continues down its fan-pleasing path. So is it real, or just a really good hoax? Find out for yourselves when the ticker hits zero, so why not take your browsers for a ride by pointing them right HERE!
