Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes (マーヴル vs. カプコン2 ニューエイジオブヒーローズ) is a Sega NAOMI and Sega Dreamcast fighting game and a sequel to Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.

Story

An evil entity named Abyss has begun consuming life on Earth, holding it within a mysterious sphere that it possesses. A pirate named Ruby Heart, while searching for an ancient artifact called the Armor of Erosion, discovered Abyss and the devastation that it wrought upon the land. Unable to defeat it alone, she calls upon the strongest heroes from the Marvel and Capcom universes to unite and end the threat.

Gameplay

Character select

Characters

Move lists assume the player is facing right. If facing left, and should be reversed. P refers to any of the punch buttons, while K refers to any of the kick buttons.

The game features 56 playable characters (if both versions of Wolverine are counted separately), which remains the largest roster of any Capcom fighting game (though it was nearly matched by Street Fighter X Tekken in 2012, which has 55 characters).

Every character from X-Men: Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, and Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes returns, with the exception of palette-swapped hidden characters and the Japan-only joke character Norimaro.

History

Legacy

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 would be the last 2D fighting game featuring Marvel characters to be released by Capcom. Following its release, Capcom lost the use of the Marvel Comics license, putting the series on a decade-long hiatus.

Capcom would eventually reacquire the rights from Marvel (now under Disney ownership) and released the sequels Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds in 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360; Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in 2011 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PCs; and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PCs in 2017.

Versions

On the Dreamcast, content is unlocked in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 through an in-game shop. While Western versions use a single in-game currency generated from playing the game normally, the Japanese version uses three currencies, with rewards generated from networked matches and by taking a VMU to a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 arcade machine and playing the game there.

As no forms of online play are supported outside of Japan, and the arcade cabinet significantly rarer, this feature was dropped in the overseas editions of the game (and indeed all future ports to other platforms).
