Don't do it, the remake is terrible. I'm warning you, the only reason I bought it was for the rebate. Just keep the SNES version around if you want to play it. :)

Absolutely loved Marvel vs. Capcom 2 in the arcades years ago so may purchase now it's a more reasonable 800MS. Would also consider TMNT: Turtles in Time for theachievements since it's pretty cheap (and I did enjoy playing it on SNES).

Awesome deals! Pretty tempted by Turtles and Marvel. I tried both the demo but didn't wanna pay full price. It seems waiting for these games pays off in the end :)

Agreed. I also only got it because it would essentially be free.

Where did you bring it from?
What?

I assume you're asking about how it was free or something? If you bought all of the summer of arcade games during a certain period you got a 800msp rebate. I already had all of the other games so if I bought TMNT for 800msp and then got 800msp back it would basically be free.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was 560 during the holiday deals, so this price point is still kinda lame.

However, how can I pass on only 400 MSP for TMNT.
