Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is set to launch on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC on November 22. The release date was announced during August’s Nintendo Direct alongside another compilation of retro fighting games, Capcom Fighting Collection 2, which is slated to arrive next year. Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics will be available in physical and digital formats at launch, but the physical edition has a very cool bonus: an exclusive Marvel Vs. Capcom comic.
Preorders for the collection are live now for $50, and since the comic book is only available in limited quantities, it’d be wise to preorder if you really want that bonus. Walmart is already sold out of the PlayStation edition, but preorders are available for both platforms at Amazon and Best Buy. The comic book is only available with the physical edition.
$50
The collection comes with seven fighting games:
- The Punisher (1993)
- X-Men: Children Of The Atom (1994)
- Marvel Super Heroes (1995)
- X-Men Vs. Street Fighter (1996)
- Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter (1997)
- Marvel Vs. Capcom: Clash Of Superheroes (1998)
- Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: New Age Of Heroes (2000)
Similar to Capcom’s other retro compilations, the games are accompanied by a time capsule of extra content. You’ll get all the music from the original arcade releases, behind-the-scenes art, and some helpful gameplay assists like one-button combos if you’re new to these games.
Note: The physical PlayStation version is for PS4 and PS5.
The Marvel fighting games haven’t been seen for quite some time on console, although they have popped up in Arcade1Up cabinets over the past couple years. Each game is a showcase of ’90s fighting game magic, as Capcom’s collection of brawlers featured fast-paced action, fantastic pixel art character designs, and rock-solid gameplay designed to liberate coins from your pockets. If you’re looking to go online, the games will support rollback netcode, casual matches, and ranked play. Perfect for anyone looking to reawaken some muscle memory in their thumbs.
For something a little different, The Punisher is an action game in the same vein as Final Fight and Streets of Rage, as Frank Castle plies his deadly trade against an army of cannon fodder and Marvel villains. Minus its Sega Genesis port, The Punisher has skipped several console generations, so it’s nice to finally see it revived for modern systems.
