Marvel
vs. Capcom Fighting Collection
ABOUT:
The
Marvel vs. Capcom compilation that everyone has been waiting years
for is FINALLY coming in 2024. On June 18, 2024 during the Nintendo
Direct presentation, Capcom announced Marvel
vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics for Steam,
PlayStation 4 (and PS5 via backwards compatibility), and Nintendo
Switch — packing seven fan-favorite 2D games with new features and
rollback-powered online play. The compilation includes: X-Men:
Children of the Atom, Marvel
Super Heroes, X-Men
vs. Street Fighter, Marvel
Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel
vs. Capcom, Marvel
vs. Capcom 2, and classic 2D beat-em-up, The Punisher (the
first-ever Marvel game by Capcom).

The
Marvel vs. series collection we've all been waiting for.

Announced on the
same day as a stunning new artwork drop —
a beautifully-drawn key illustration featuring timeless Marvel Vs. Capcom
icons... including a rare-to-be-smiling Cyclops and Ryu embracing in a handshake
(bro-shake) of epic proportions on the very front, Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting
Collection: Arcade Classics is perhaps the most hype-inducing announcement
of its kind in a very long time. And i's not just "hype"... either.
Because the brilliant 2D fighting game masterpieces appearing in this epic
compilation are indeed some of the best 2D
fighters of all time. Already, it seems like a must-own for anyone who
enjoys fighting games, casually or professionally.
The fact that everyone will now be able to easily play online with
(hopefully) excellent netcode and plenty of new "quality of life"
features & options means that it's never been a better time to be a fan and
dedicated player of Capcom's
Marvel versus series. With
Capcom
Fighting Collection's online infrastructure
proving that a compilation of this nature can boast incredibly smooth and fast
online and battle lobbies (especially on PC / Steam), this bodes very very well for
Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection. It's great to see the new artwork
and logo design for the "sequel", too!

New
training options and modes... Hitbox viewer!
|
Confirmed
Features: Additional training settings (including 1-button specials /
super moves option), save states, numerous display filters and border
artwork, a Music Player with
original songs from the arcade versions, Museum mode
featuring never-before-seen artwork, development documents, and Online
mode with Rollback netcode
featuring casual matches, lobby matches for friends, ranked matches, and
spectator features. The Punisher also has "drop in" 2P
online co-op!
Additionally, "screen flashing" is now reduced on older
titles such as Marvel vs. Capcom and X-Men vs. Street Fighter to be easier on the eyes.
Cyber
Akuma is confirmed playable in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street
Fighter. However, guest character Norimaru
will not be playable in Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection.
|
The
Music Player + Art Gallery will be packed with bangers.
|
Capcom's official
site for Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection is now online.
The official site confirmed additional details, with available ROM
versions for each game listed, new details on universal features,
character artwork, and videos of each game as it will appear in the
compilation. For those wondering, MVC2
uses the "000224" ROM (Naomi arcade version).
Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is coming to
Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5, and PC via
Steam sometime in 2024. The compilation was not announced for any Xbox platforms.
The official Steam
page for the game is currently live with a Wishlist / Follow option now
available. A price has not yet been announced. More details are coming
soon... thanks for reading! Please stay tuned on The Fighters Generation for more Marvel vs. Capcom
Fighting Collection news and content!

|
First
Impression: |
2024 has undeniably been an
amazing year for fighting games already. . . and then... MVC Collection
gets announced. The FGC is eatin' good. Better than ever. So it's finally here.
A legacy collection made by the gods, for the gods. The Marvel vs. Capcom
community and fighting game fans around the world have been waiting a VERY long time for this one.
2022's Capcom
Fighting Collection was well worth a buy, offering surprisingly
good online play via rollback netcode and countless new features to play around
with while enjoying some classic games, online or single-player. A "sequel" of sorts... Marvel
vs. Capcom Fighting Collection:
Arcade Classics raises the bar even higher with an epic package of 6
groundbreaking and genre-defining 2D fighting games that passionate fans still love playing
20+ years after their original releases.
Additionally... the 7th title is Capcom's classic side-scrolling beat-em-up, The Punisher
— which can be described as sort of a "spiritual successor" to the Final
Fight series. If you're not familiar with
the title, The Punisher (1993) by Capcom is definitely an underrated gem
and actually one of the best 2D beat-em-ups of the 90s. A must play! Drop in 2P co-op mode
online? Yes please.
In terms of "pure excitement"... and considering how much this
monumental fighting game series truly deserved a comeback, it's hard to beat Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection.
This title will obviously be
a must-own for many. And if you haven't fully explored every character, team,
and combo in this epic series... this is literally the BEST time to jump in!
