Konami announces DS-PSP-PC game based on Marvel trading card game

I think the PC version is free. Go to that site I linked a few posts up.

Completely Free? Even including a single player game? Or is it online only and you have to buy cards?

I need my CCG fix, downloading now.... You have to be a paying member to download it from the link Korly posted but I googled and found it free here: http://www.vgpro.com/file/20739_Marv...nload.zip.html

But don't you still need to buy cards?

I'm not sure; the PSP version lets you unlock card packs by beating single player challenges but so far I haven't read anything that says the single player mode is in the PC version. I've already got boxes of Vs. cards, I'm not re-buying them in digital form. The file is over a gig in size, I would hope that means there is some sort of single player mode.

From what it looks like, the PC version is an online client only... if so, fuck that shit.

Apparently this is just a beta release of the online mode; the full game comes out for PC and DS in May (both with the same single player as the PSP version).

Hmm... the DS seems ideal for virtual CCGs, it's a genre that would really benefit from touch controls (much like menu-driven RPGs).

But it's not ideal for displaying hi-res artwork.

Sadly, the PSP doesn't do a good job of showing hi-res artwork either. Hopefully a PC version comes out with a single player mode (or, better yet, XBLA!)
