Kotaku.com is reporting that Capcom is going to release a free downloadable soundtrack for Marvel vs. Capcom 2's summer re-release on the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3.Artists featured on the game's "mixtape" include the following rap greats, who, we're told, are providing original songs inspired by MvsC2 and other fighting games and fighting game themes:
- Raekwon
- Talib Kweli
- E40
- DJ Qbert
- Hieroglyphics
- The Grouch and Eligh of Living Legends
- Planet Asia
- MC Supernatural
- Havoc of Mobb Deep
- DJ Toure
- And more...
The soundtrack will be issued for free on Marvel.com, Capcom-Unity.com, and the game's promo site tu4ar.com. Capcom is also exploring options for issuing the music downloadable directly to consoles, but has no plans to announce yet.
So it sounds like Capcom isn't sure if they can digitally pack in the soundtrack, but you'll be able to use custom music options to play these songs while you're gaming.
