Rollin’

I had a lot of errands to run today, and things wound up really, really nuts. However, news of the upcoming re-release of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 made some of the insanity worth dealing with. I can understand why some folks might be perplexed as to why this news excites me so; but, if I may be permitted a brief moment of self-centeredness: dude, you don’t even know. MVC2 practically defined the summer of 2001 for me and my roommates. I spent so much good time with that game, on the Dreamcast, that it’s not even funny. The PS2 version was… less than ideal, and the Xbox version suffered just as much– moreso, since it may or may not run properly on the 360. However, the announcement mentions online play, something missing from the previous ports, so it’s a safe bet that Capcom is going to do this one up right.
All things considered, though… I’m probably going to have to invest in a pair of decent fighting pads for the 360. I like the base controller, sure, but I’ve also complained at length about the d-pad. Between this, Puzzle Fighter, and SSF2THDROMGWTFBBQ, it’s kind of silly to think that I haven’t yet snagged even one of the Street Fighter controllers. Oh, right– because the damn things are impossible to find.
