MvC2 Finally "Announced" For PSN and XBLA

Today, Marvel and Capcom finally decided to officially announce a new release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes for the Playstation Network and the Xbox Live Arcade. I say officially here because there have been rumors posted all over the internet for months now about the release, but for those loyal fans who were watching the countdown on tu4ar.com the announcement was especially exciting because the moment the clock hit zero the lyrics to a song from the original release played and then a link opened up to the trailer shown above. I was watching 24 at the time and forgot about the site, but my friend reminded me through a slightly hilarious text message.

Anyway, the game is set to include an online multi-player mode and has the current release date of Summer 2009. The price for the download will be $15 on the PSN and 1200 Microsoft Points on the XBLA. A playable demo is set to drop on the PSN on April 30th and no XBLA demo has been announced as of yet. (Though it would only be fair if they never get a demo because the PSN never got a demo for Street Fighter 2 HD Remix).
