After writing the “Ten biggest surprises of E3” there was one excellent announcement which didn’t quite qualify. It was a shame because this announcement was actually earth shattering, Lucas Arts are remaking the classic Secret of Monkey Island for PS3 and 360. From the looks of the trailer all of the old gang are back including comedy genuis Ron Gilbert. Now in the interest of full disclosure, the new visuals aren’t exactly the whole nine yards when it comes to high definition. But just hearing the old written dialogue spoken afresh in such indellible quality will bring many gamers back to the good old days when Lucas Arts ruled the adventure waves.

When it comes to fighting games there really isn’t any bigger news than this, Marvel vs Capcom 2 will be released this summer on XBLA and PSN. With a fully working online mode borrowed from SF2: HD Remix and upgraded graphics this really is a day which many fighting fans the world over have been waiting for. No hard date has been confirmed yet only the vague Summer announcement, but the important detail is that the game code is based purely on the Dreamcast version, not the arcade. The trailer is below confirms the appearance of the tag team combat, full roster of 56 combatants from both Marvel’s and Capcom’s most memorable franchises.
Both Ryu and Wolverine look excellent and it will be interesting to see how good other characters look. There are rumours flying around that gamers may see a demo as early as the end of this month due according to el33tonline and kotaku but that would shock the majority of fans to have a demo appearing so soon after an initial announcemt. As hunches go many would be surprised if there any further announcements until the start of E3 on Tuesday, June 2nd. We will keep you posted, sweet lord am I excited!
