You know, this release of MvC2 is earth-shaking news, and it'll likely be a really big hit. But you have to recognize that MvC2 has had extremely huge support for like 9 full years now. Capcom has spent almost a decade watching the community stay strong; watching the fan demand. They're fully aware of what's out there, and a re-release of MvC2 probably won't show them alot more than what they already know. The show of support that could be seen from this re-release of MvC2 is probably not that big compared to those 9 years.

What I'm trying to say is that MvC3 is probably as likely now as it was when TvC came out, as it was like 5 years before that. MvC3 is its own beast, and it likely hasn't come to happen not because Capcom doesn't think it's profitable or possible or a good idea. After 9 years of constant support, it's likely other difficulties (completely unrelated to fan demand)  are holding them back.

As opposed to street fighter? Street Fighter HD showed the interest in Street Fighter was strong enough to make another Street Fighter. HD came out on live cutting down costs incase it doesn't live up to expectations.  History is hopfully repeting itself, even the marvel exect said its closer then you think, true its up to capcom however marvel is showing their willingness to work with them. History repeats itself, thats the genius of capcom.

You seriously think that SF4 was developed solely in the time between HD Remix and its release date? Be real; it had to have been in development long before HD Remix was complete. It's not like one was a complete market test for the other.

Like I said, the high expectations and demand for MvC2 has been evident for the past 9 years. This re-release is huge, but in terms of measuring fan interest and demand, it won't prove anything new.

And like I said in another thread, inside the Capcom executive office, I'm sure it's not the same to say "let's make a new street fighter game" than to say "let's make a new marvel vs capcom". Developing a game with an in-house license likely implies a completely effort than to develop one for (or in conjunction with) another company.

The only people who really know what goes on are the people who work there I take it your not one tas I am not either, Maybe we could get Sven or S-kill in this as they're names appear in the credits of SF4. They are the only ones who can say what titles get canceled because there isn't enough attention to it, or what titles get shelved in favor for another one.
