Marvel vs. Capcom games to be delisted from PSN, XBLA

[samsonlonghair]

Here are my match ups for the <hopefully> forthcoming Capcom vs. Public Domain:

Captain America = King Arthur
Deadpool = Zorro
Doctor Doom = Dr. Mabuse
Doctor Strange = Sherlock Holmes
Dormammu = Death (i.e., the Grim Reaper)
Ghost Rider = The Headless Horseman
Hawkeye= Robin Hood
Hulk = Frankenstein's Monster
Iron Fist = Wong Fei Hung
Iron Man = The Tin Man
Magneto = Dracula
M.O.D.O.K. = Cheshire Cat
Nova = The Red Baron
Phoenix = Athena
Rocket Raccoon = Rumplestilskin
Sentinel = Paul Bunyan
She-Hulk = Princess Atalanta
Shuma-Goratha = <nameless Lovecraftian horror>
Spider-Man = Arsene Lupin
Storm = Dorothy
Super-Skrull = Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde
Taskmaster = Long John Silver
Thor = Thor
Wolverine = The Wolf Man
X-23 = Little Red Riding Hood

I'd play that.

Don't know if this was already mentioned, but it's not just Capcom's Marvel games that are getting taken down. All of Activision's Marvel games are being delisted as well. (Might already be so.)

If Activision couldn't keep the license, Capcom sure as hell had no chance.

Personally, I think this is part of Disney's takeover of Marvel.

But what of MvC Origins? Did that also get pulled?

Well this sucks, good thing I've got hard copies of most of these. There needs to be some better way of handling licenses when it comes to digital distribution gaming.

Anyone who had previously bought the games digitally still has access to them, can redownload them, etc. The real story, IMO, will come if/when that content (and others, regardless of content licensing agreements) is removed even for past purchasers...

So far, with stuff like Outrun Online and the Turtles in Time remake, that hasn't been the case.

Everything, literally everything.

MvC:O, MvC2, UMvC3, X-Men Arcade, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the Spider-Man games, literally everything.

Shit! Your not kidding. Even Deadpool it seems. Dafuq is going on with Marvel!?

[Gamerforlife]

Well, games like Deadpool are no big deal. You can buy those on disc

No. And as I already said, they did not pull UMvC3 for Vita either.

The hell is going on with Marvel? No MVC2 online??
