The Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection Review

As a die-hard fan of fighting games, the recent announcement of Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics coming to Steam this year got me incredibly excited. Having spent endless hours playing Marvel vs Capcom 2 with friends and foes alike, the prospect of revisiting this classic on PC brings back fond memories of my teenage years.

The bundle will not just include Marvel vs Capcom 2, but also its predecessor Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes. The addition of five other games featuring Marvel’s iconic superheroes alongside Capcom’s characters makes this collection an absolute must-have for any fan of the genre. From X-Men: Children of the Atom to Marvel Super Heroes, the lineup promises a diverse and exciting gameplay experience.

What sets this collection apart is its homage to the early collaborations between Capcom and Marvel. Games like X-Men vs Street Fighter and Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter introduced groundbreaking mechanics like Variable Assist that paved the way for future titles in the Marvel vs Capcom series. The inclusion of The Punisher, a beat ’em up game that predates the competitive fighting games, adds a touch of nostalgia to the collection.

In addition to the classic games, Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection offers modern features like online multiplayer with rollback netcode, leaderboards, and spectator mode. The inclusion of training mode makes it accessible for both seasoned veterans and newcomers to the series, ensuring everyone can enjoy the collection to its fullest potential.

With the imminent release of Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection on Steam later this year, fans can look forward to reliving the glory days of arcade fighting games on their PCs. The prospect of these classic titles being available on the Steam Deck adds an extra layer of excitement for those eager to take the action on the go. Overall, the collection promises a nostalgic trip down memory lane coupled with modern conveniences that make it a welcome addition to any fighting game enthusiast’s library.
