Marvel Vs Capcom: Fighting Collection Lands On Consoles

Capcom ruled 90s arcades with their fierce fighting titles, many of which saw their roster of iconic characters pitted against Marvel superheroes. “Marvel Vs Capcom” was a staple of arcades for quite a while, with each pizza parlor and mall having at least one machine from the series humming somewhere.

Now Marvel Vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics brings the past back to life with seven Capcom / Marvel co-productions, emulated perfectly with new features. Included are X-Men: Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men Vs Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes Vs Street Fighter, Marvel Vs Capcom: Clash Of Super Heroes, Marvel Vs Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, and finally, The Punisher. Yup, just him.

Bonuses the arcade players never got to enjoy include online play and leaderboards, adjustable difficulty, an option for specials to be triggered with one button, game saves in single-player mode and more. The game is not only out digitally but physically as well, and Capcom will make the trip to the store worth it with a bonus 32-page comic book tucked into every copy of the game.
