Shit! Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and MvC2 are Being Pulled From PSN/XBLA
Thanks to the cruel deadline beset upon the publishing rights to these titles, two of Capcom’s licensed, fightin’ crossover hits are being pulled from Xbox Live and PSN.
Both Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and version 2.0 of its years estranged sequel, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, are being yoinked from digital distribution… very soon. The post on Capcom Unity isn’t all too clear on when exactly, but it does have dates for when the newer title’s plethora of alternate costumes is being axed. [Update: Both game are being delisted Dec. 17th on PSN; Dec. 26th on XBL.]
On PSN, Dec. 17th is the final day you can purchase DLC – which is being discounted by 50% – while downloadable doomsday arrives for the content on XBLA come Dec. 26th. Capcom says hold your breath for news on potential price drops for XBLA.
While both MvC2 and UMvC3 remain at their full $14.99 and $29.99 price tags on Xbox respectively, PSN has at least deflated the former, spritier fighter’s cost to just $7.49. Have PS Plus? Even better; the game is only $3.75. I wasted that in quarters within fifteen minutes back in its arcade days (I was, and am still, terrible at the fucking game… but I love it).
