These games have the absolute worst "time invested: dogshit skills" ratio of all time for me, but I'll still get this.

 

Also I have no fucking idea what that Punisher game is. Huh.

Yeah I just somehow had never heard of it which is a bit weird since I like the genre and always sought out comic book games.

HYPE!!! Now after this can we also get a Capcom vs SNK collection (Cap vs SNK 1&2, Card Fighters 1&2, Snk vs Cap NGP&NG)?

The website declares the "Fighting Game Collection" as a series so it could be more of a possibility than you might have thought of before this game happened.

 

Mai and Terry are coming to SF6 so maybe the wheels are even getting greased right now. 🤔

[Hurricane Game]

My mind is so blown by this. I'm so excited!

Oh I know, it's just I never expected them to go so far as to do the Marvel set even though it's been highly requested. If they're willing to do that then why not do an SNK set afterwards? SNK has already put out the NGPC SNK vs Capcom games which had to get Capcom's approval.

[Keyser_Soze]

Also, unrelated to what you (Chakoo) are saying, the website details that you can turn off the screen flashing and they also enabled the hidden characters which you could previously only unlock through hacks. (Cyber Akuma, Anita, Doctor Doom, Thanos, etc.)

[stepee]

daw

 

Definitely getting this but a little sad since this series was one of my emulation bragging points that made me feel special.

[5timechamp]

Sooo Tatsunomo vs Capcom remains the rare game in the series forever trapped onto a nintendo console..

 

Definitely buying this, the Punisher inclusion is “odd” but the more the merrier I suppose

I just don’t like the idea of Milhouse having two spaghetti meals in one day.

[XxEvil AshxX]

I might get it for the nostalgia factor alone.

 

I grew up kinda out in the country, and there was a gas station down the street from my cousin's house that had TWO arcade games in the corner. One of them was Dungeons and Dragons Tower of Doom, and the other one was X-Men Children of the Atom. It was so cool to be able to walk down the street from his house to the gas station and be able to play an arcade game (there wasn't much out there to begin with, so the fact that the one gas station within walking distance had arcade games was mind-blowing). We played the shit out of Children of the Atom.

 

A few years later I found the PS1 version on the "Pre-played" shelf at Blockbuster for about $6. But that disc went bye-bye at the same time my PS1 did.

 

I think this is really the first time they've re-released it since then? Is this the arcade version or the Playstation version, I wonder?

They are the arcade versions. They show the rom versions on the webpage. (Also the website says they are the arcade release)

The Playstation versions are generally regarded as the worst versions of the games. Less frames of animation. Even some like X-Men vs Street Fighter have the tag mode removed because there wasn't enough ram.

[Keyser_Soze]

 

 

[Keyser_Soze]

I originally posted this in the wrong thread

 

 

I guess this version has Norimaro who was only in a select few versions of the games

 

 

 

They actually hid him in the artwork originally an added him in later

 

 

And now he's got some crispy art on the website

Critic Reviews

 

Spoiler

8Bit/Digi - Stan Rezaee - 10 / 10

The Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection is a reminder of why the '90s is looked back upon as a golden era for both Marvel and Capcom.

Atomix - Aldo López - Spanish - 90 / 100

If you're an arcade fan or have even the slightest interest in the subject, I'd say don't pass up the chance to get a copy, either digitally or wait for the physical release. It's not every day that these kinds of gems come around, so it's important to preserve them before the license expires again.

Bazimag - Hamidreza Ghaneei - Persian - 8 / 10

Overall, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classic brings a pleasant experience of these old titles to fans of the series, which is mostly designed for multiplayer players. If you're looking to pick up this collection just to experience the single-player, you may be somewhat disappointed.

CGMagazine - Zubi Khan - 9 / 10

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection collects seven arcade-accurate ROMs in one comprehensive collection.

COGconnected - Jaz Sagoo - 80 / 100

Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics includes some of the best fighters in the genre and is a must-have for enthusiasts. Packed with a range of features such as the ability to alter display filters, online options, training modes, and even a music player, the game is comprehensive. Although I would have liked to see a museum-style mode with interviews and commentary on the game’s creation, the quality-of-life improvements and rich selection of fighters make this a standout collection.

ComingSoon.net - Tyler Treese - 9 / 10

Capcom has gone above and beyond with this compilation. It’s a must-have for any Marvel or fighting game fan.

Console Creatures - Recommended

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics delivers an incredible experience. It's easily one of the best collections for fighting game fans.

Game Rant - Liam Ferguson - 4 / 5

Although its framework is similar to Capcom's last fighting bundle, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection's contents shine too brightly to care.

GameBlast - Carlos França Júnior - Portuguese - 9.5 / 10

Even with fewer games than the previous collection, we must recognize that MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics contains six titles that have a huge impact on the history of fighting games. The aura they exude from the first play is absurd, to the point of giving goosebumps to the most ardent fan. It's something that other more current names in the genre seem to have lost; that mix of charm and dynamism that ends up leading whoever is in control to always play just one more game after the "last one". If you've never played any of these gems, now is the time. If you were already a fan, feel blessed with the best collection of fighting games currently available.

Gamefa - Arman Zarmehr - Persian - 8.9 / 10

It can be said that while Marvel vs. Capcom Collection may seem like just a collection of classic fighting games on the surface, but it actually much more than a simple collection. We're treated to a rich collection of Capcom's classic fighting masterpieces, some of which haven't been officially available for decades. This collection not only gathers all these works together, but by making targeted changes and very effective improvements, it turns the experience of each of these works into the best experiences that each of them has offered to date.

Gameliner - Delano Seliman - Dutch - 3.5 / 5

"The MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics feels like a love letter to longtime fans, with nostalgic music, sound effects, and retro graphics reminiscent of the '90s. Thanks to the Switch, these classic games can now be played anywhere, although the screen's sidebars could have been omitted. The gameplay is fast and accessible, perfect for newcomers, while offering enough depth for experienced players to master combos and counters. However, the price tag of fifty euros may feel steep, especially for new players, considering the games appear somewhat dated and similar to each other."

Glitched Africa - Sam Aberdeen - 8.5 / 10

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics is a blast of nostalgia wrapped in a premium package with thoughtful quality-of-life improvements and consideration for preserving the legacy of some excellent fighters of a bygone era, though slightly dated mechanics might not cater to everyone.

God is a Geek - Sean Smith - 10 / 10

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is a beautifully curated selection of some of the best one-on-one combat games ever created.

LevelUp - Ulises Contreras - Spanish - 8 / 10

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is a beautiful and nostalgic tribute that revives 7 iconic fighting games. Although the lack of additional modes and cross-play limits its potential, it remains an excellent option for both veteran and new players. Still, we can't help but feel that Capcom could have done more to make it the ultimate collection

MonsterVine - Spencer Legacy - 5 / 5

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is as stellar as it gets when it comes to classic rereleases. Not only are these some of the best fighting games out there, but they’ve been revived with such excellence that it’s worth applauding. I hope this leads to more Marvel vs. Capcom games, as this collection serves as the perfect reminder that there’s no crossover quite like it.

Nexus Hub - Ryan Pretorius - 9 / 10

Marvel vs. Capcom Fight Collection Arcade Classics provides easy access to some of the most beloved crossover arcade titles in history, packed with quality-of-life improvements and a wealth of content.

Nintendo Life - Tom Massey - 9 / 10

There is a decade of gaming evolution here, including what is arguably the pinnacle of Capcom's fighting game craft. Perfectly preserved and presented, everything is beautifully formed and wonderful to play. Assembled with real clarity in regards to fan expectation, Capcom has thoroughly delivered the goods, from its ton of bonus features to its rollback netcode, with years' worth of combative nuance to explore, learn, and exact in the online arena. Oh, and The Punisher is awesome, too.

PSX Brasil - Ivan Nikolai Barkow Castilho - Portuguese - 90 / 100

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is the collection that fans have been waiting for for years. In addition to bringing back Marvel vs. Capcom 2, we also have titles that have been forgotten for a long time, such as X-Men vs. Street Fighter. It's a must-have title for any fighting game enthusiast.

Press Start - James Berich - 9 / 10

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is easily the best and most robust collection of classic Capcom fighters so far. While the lack of crossplay is still a  disappointment carrying over from Capcom Fighting Collection, everything else about this collection shines bright. It is a truly exhaustive compilation that celebrates so much no matter how much you're into Capcom, Marvel or both.

Push Square - Scott McCrae - 8 / 10

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is an essential release if you're after one of the most prolific parts of fighting game history. The museum mode is a treat, and the games themselves seem to be arcade-perfect conversions, apart from MvC 1 (which should hopefully be fixed in a patch given it's fine in the PC release). While some bonus features from the console versions of these games would've been nice, it's still undeniably a great collection of titles.

Saudi Gamer - Arabic - 8 / 10

A comprehensive collection (at least until MvsC2) with enough improvements and quality-of-life elements to make this by default the best way to play these games.

Spaziogames - Silvio Mazzitelli - Italian - 8.6 / 10

Capcom is doing a great job with its Collections dedicated to fighting games of the past and this Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is another jewel that collects seven titles that have made the history of the genre.

The Games Machine - Danilo Dellafrana - Italian - 7.8 / 10

It could be argued that this is a collection of roms and that, in one way or another, the PC community has found a way to challenge each other online for years, but the rich dose of extras and the presence of rollback and ranked matches alone is enough to give the collection an edge, not to mention a great way to legally own seven excellent games. To be had, hoping that sales will prompt Capcom to challenge Marvel superheroes again in the near future.

The Outerhaven Productions - Kevin Kelly - 5 / 5

Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics does what it's set out to do by giving fans old and new alike the most accessible way to enjoy a paramount series and with online capabilities. No need to get a 1up arcade box to take in the coin-ops at home. Whether one started with X-Men vs Street Fighter, or during the MVC2 Mahvel 2 hype, the 2D part of the series is all here. Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is a definite must own for its' run.

TheSixthAxis - Miguel Moran - 9 / 10

This will make waves purely for being the most feature-rich and accessible way to play Marvel VS Capcom 2 that the fighting game community has. At the same time, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is also packed with the games that led to that defining moment, and loads of impressive art-gallery content for each of them makes this ride so much sweeter.

Wccftech - Francesco De Meo - 8 / 10

The MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is a fantastic celebration of the series, showcasing some of the best fighting games released by the Japanese publisher in the late '90s and early 2000s. Although the lack of cross-platform play reduces the collection's appeal, the additional options and extras are welcome enhancements that make playing these timeless classics on modern hardware even more enticing, especially on consoles.

Zoomg - Afshin Piroozi - Persian - 8 / 10

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is a special work created for a specific group of gamers—those who have nostalgic memories of the games in this series and are now seeking to relive those experiences with new features, such as online play. So, if you belong to this group, you’ll derive great enjoyment from playing Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, and you’ll find yourself immersed in its experience for hours.

Europe: Physical Switch edition of Marvel vs Capcom Collection is code in box

MYNINTENDONEWS.COM

---

Capcom Europe has confirmed that the physical edition of the long-awaited Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics for the Nintendo Switch will be a code in box deal for Europe.

 

[chakoo]

How many have picked this up so far? While all of the Capcom collections I have on my switch are digital, I think I'll wait and pick this one up in physical form when that releases. 

[LazyPiranha]

Yeah, I’m of two minds on this.  On the one hand I’d like a physical copy, but on the other hand we keep getting closer to Switch 2 news and I’m going to be very annoyed if it’s not physical cart backwards compatible.  I feel like I’m hedging my bets until I know what if anything is going to carry over.
