QuoteGreat news for fighting game fans. Capcom isn't done with HD Remixes, and one fighting game that could be next for the treatment is Marvel vs. Capcom 2, the company has revealed.

Capcom has enjoyed terrific success with Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix, released on Xbox LIVE late last year and more recently on PSN. As of late last year, official figures showed the game had sold 250,000 units, shattering both day one and week one sales records.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com, Capcom's Christian Svensson, vice president, business development and strategic planning, said that while "not every game needs it", the company was "potentially" going to apply the HD Remix treatment to other fighting games in its back catalogue.

He said: "Are we done doing HD Remixes? No we're not done. But the next ones that we do will be even better, based on what we learned."

When asked if Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was a game that didn't need the HD Remix treatment, Svensson replied: "I won't say it doesn't need it. Marvel would be great to do. There's obviously a fan base for it. It's probably our most requested title. Unfortunately, I wish I had news to share on that front but I don't."

The chances of Capcom making Marvel vs. Capcom 3, however, are less likely. "I would never say never but I would say the barriers to doing that are much higher than the barriers for MvC2," said Svensson.

If they'd gone with Udon exclusively right from the start I'm pretty sure it would have looked a lot better...

In seriousness though I would love them to HD Remix up a Darkstalkers game.... A friend and I used to have the mad challenges on that lol

I don't know what to think about an HD remix of MVC2. It would look awesome, but a rebalance would ruin things imo.

He's the hero NZism deserves.
But not the one it needs right now.
So we'll hunt him.
Because he can take it.
Because he's not our Hero.
He's a Niuean Guardian.
A watchful poster.

I guess it comes down to taste. I really dislike the Udon art style. But I know there are people out there that do like it.  :-\

Ok, well at the very least if Omar Dogan (see SF Legends Sakura, Chun Li) did it, I would jizz my pants.

Fair enough. Just looks like fan art to me though.

To me, the HD remix art is awful. It was much better when they had all the little details drawn into the character sprites, but went sour when they made it simpler.

HD on old games is a stupid idea anyway, wouldn't it be better to just make a new game?

They need a new Darkstalkers game anyway, I wouldn't mind seeing that in SF4 graphics.
