Marvel vs Capcom fighting collection: the long-awaited release
Marvel vs. Capcom is back! This news excited many fans during the Nintendo Direct on June 18th.
Why does a simple re-release of an old game ignite such excitement? It's because Marvel Vs Capcom 2, considered one of the best fighting games ever, is available again after years of being "officially" unavailable.
What's Included in the Collection?
Like the Capcom Fighting Collection, Marvel vs. Capcom offers 7 games:
- X-Men: Children of the Atom
- Marvel Super Heroes
- Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of the Super Heroes
- Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes
- Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter
- X-Men vs. Street Fighter
Most of your time will likely be spent on Marvel Vs Capcom 2, the highlight of the collection.
Nostalgia at a Price
Capcom proves that nostalgia has a price. The collection includes:
- Training mode
- Galleries for each game
- Jukebox mode
- Seven CRT and arcade screen filters
- 4:3 format with optional borders
Button mapping is also available, making it easier for casual players to perform special moves.
Online Play
The collection features online play with rollback netcode, but no crossplay. Quick save is available but shared across all games.
Performance and Accessibility
Tested on PlayStation and PC, the game runs smoothly with no technical issues. It also performs well on the Steam Deck.
Marvel Vs Capcom 2 remains one of the best 2D fighting games. The collection is more accessible than ever, thanks to new accessibility options.
The Verdict
This collection brings back a cult classic that was no longer "officially" available. It's mainly for die-hard Marvel vs. Capcom fans.
The online mode is good but lacks crossplay, which would have improved matchmaking speed. Despite this, the collection is the best modern way to enjoy this iconic series.
