Marvel vs. Capcom 2is hitting PlayStation Network later than we expected. Capcom sent word to us earlier this morning that the title would be available via the PlayStation store on August 13 — many moons from theJuly 29 Xbox LIVE Arcade launch date.
While this isn’t a delay, we were surprised to learn the release date wouldn’t be closer to the XBLA date. Capcom released a PlayStation 3 exclusive demo for the title in late April, which to us indicated some sort of special brawler bond between Capcom and Sony.
We reached out to Capcom PR about the later date and we hope to hear back from them soon, but in the meantime, here’s some speculation:Siliconerabelieves the release date has something to do with the now-yoinkedGameStop Collector’s Edition versionof the game. Manuals do take time to print. We’ll let you know when we know.
