After the cash cow success of Street Fighter 2 getting the HD treatment, Capcom has been mum on which game will be getting the next treatment (though they have dropped hints that there will be next games). Based on chatter, a HD Remix is looking increasingly likely for Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and soon.

Fighting purists may snark on the elaborately over-the-top combat system, the 3-on-3 fights where 200-hit combos are not uncommon, and the complete and utter lack of canon uniting characters from all manner of video games and comic franchises into a battle royale, but so what? MVC2 is one of the main reasons why I hold the Dreamcast in such high regard. It’s a fantastic brawler, and a HD remix would be groin-grabbingly amazing.

Solid details are still forthcoming, but prying eyes have uncovered possible achievements appearing for the game, a hopeful sign of things to come. With a bit of luck, we’ll all be sitting around soon on XBLA having our butts handed to us by some fifteen year-old Korean kid, using Cable like a cheap bastard. Personally, I can’t wait. I’m masochistic like that.
