Why is it just UMVC3, why aren't MVC2 and MVCO back as well?

Did they renew the license specifically for UMVC3 only? And if so, why only on current gen platforms?

It will be easy to remove them from store when deal expires again.

Yes and because they are the current gen platforms. Why would you want to play UMVC3 on PS3 or Xbox 360 nowadays? The community will most definitely move on.

Yeah was wondering this too. Guess they just don't want to go through the hassle again for those games.

There was a post a while ago that someone linked me on GAF to saying that MVC2 had crazy code in the backend to get it all working (360 version), so porting it to current-gen consoles would be next to impossible. No idea about MVCO though.

I would assume UMVC3 is only for current gen consoles because you can still find the game on PS3/360, but making it available on PC/PS4/Xbone ensures that it's on x86 and lives on indefinitely.

All I want is MVC2 on Steam with multiplayer

That's all I want

MvC Origin should be easy to do. I mean those are CPS2 games, porting them ought to be easy peasy.
MvC2 being ported from the original arcade ver. should be doable, it ran on the same board as the GG XX games wasn't it?

Because free online. That simple, really.

Why aren't older Marvel Vs. Capcom games available again too?
