Value of PS2 MvsC 2

Post by **undamned** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 12:44 am

Ok, did I miss something or is this just people being stupid?
That's 6 bidders willing to pay over $100 and 3 bidders willing to pay over $200.

Last sealed one I sold was like six months ago at eighty bucks or so. Why in the world are folks willing to pay so much for such a sucky game? At times like these, I only wish I had about ten more of 'em.

Hi fellas,

I remember thinking the same thing a while back when I was looking to buy that game - that the PS2 MvC2 costs a heck of a lot. I remember some thread on shoryuken that said that the PS2 version in particular had a very limited print run, so it's a pretty rare game. Apparently, it's not arcade-perfect, though, while the DC version is (Couldn't care less, but FYI)

Instead of forking over money on that one, I bought a DC version for like 1/3 the cost along with garou and some other stuff

Now that's just getting stupid, really. What's even more puzzling though, is why would anyone wanna pay that much for the PS2 version, when the DC version is both cheap and the most perfect version out there.

Even the xbox port can be had for cheap.

It went out of print a long time ago, hard to find.

But why play the PS2 version? It sucks. Anti-air assists have less invincibility, aplha-counter doesn't work right, the sounds suck, and the game slows down/gets choppy when there is a lot going on. I swear it does it everytime during the Ironman infinite.

Not to mention sprites are smaller, eliminating certain combos that relied on the larger hitboxes. Of course, being a Naomi game in the first place didn't hurt the nearly perfect DC port at all.

However, the PS2 version is NOT rare. In fact, it sold 260,000 copies, which wasn't bad at all for a 2D game for its day. I'm guessing it's because of both collectors and too many gamers who only own PS2s and don't know that buying a DC and MVC2 is cheaper than the PS2 version. Got mine sealed for $35 just 2-3 years ago through nice contacts.

However, the PS2 Mark of the Wolves is pretty much a flawless port of the Neogeo version whereas the DC version is not quite.

I'm not that surprised. There're morons who will pay $100 for you to go and plug their computers to a wall.

Good point, I'm sure there's not a lot of people with DCs around, so that must jack up demand for the PS2 ver. Didn't think of that!

I've heard that, esp with the sound effects or something, but to me, it plays just as well as it did on mame (Not like there's anyone that plays, much less even heard of, this game where I am, and lord almighty, when's the last time I've even seen an arcade?).

The sound effects themselves are perfect, but SNK chose to use constant streaming from the disk to cut down on load times and this causes a half second delay between the onscreen action and the accompanying sound effects. It's really noticeable on Dream Match 1999, Garou, and Last Blade 2 Final Edition. Seems to have been corrected/just not as bad on the later KoF ports though.

The demand for PS2 MvC2 is so stupid. Even a used copy at Gamestop is currently $49.99.

Geez... how much does the NAOMI version go for?

It all makes one contemplate buying 100 copies of Under Defeat or something...

I got a NAOMI MvsC 2 set including system, Capcom I/O, and cables, for < $100 more than that PS2 auction.
