Today I was browsing the Japanese PSN Store, and guess what I stumbled upon? Capcom vs. SNK 2 was in the PS2 Classics section. Fans of the series have been begging Capcom to re-release the game, especially as a HD Remix. Sevensson has always said such a thing would be difficult because they would need a new contract with SNK, seeing as how half the characters belong to them.
Seeing the game in the Japanese Store means that at least the Japanese branches have been able to come to a deal of sorts. Hopefully Capcom will be able to drum something up for American and European fans. Who knows, maybe this could be a hint of sorts that Capcom vs SNK 3 is in the works.
