FULL STORY
======================================================================

The June 18 Nintendo Direct took us all for a ride when Marvel vs. Capcom 
Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics was announced during the 40-minutes 
presentation. 

Like other Capcom compilations before it, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting 
Collection: Arcade Classics packs in seven legendary arcade titles, many of 
which are considered to be some of the best fighting games of all time, 
including X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of 
Heroes. 

The collection features plenty of modern updates such as training modes, as 
well as full online play, sound tests and artwork galleries. Online play will 
feature rollback netcode, long considered the industry standard and more 
often than not leads to the smoothest possible online experience for fighting 
games. Ranked and casual matches, as well as custom lobbies, will all feature 
in the collection for each game. 

The full list of games included in Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: 
Arcade Classics is as follows: 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 The 
Punisher 

The cream of the crop in this collection has to be Marvel vs. Capcom 2, a 
crossover fighter that features characters across several of each brands' 
franchises. This 3v3 team fighter has a legendary reputation and is still 
enjoyed by fighting game fans the world over to this day, even at big 
tournaments like EVO. 

What makes this so special is that all games in this collection, up until 
now, have been impossible to play on modern hardware, with folks instead 
using programs like Fightcade to get their fix. Other versions of these games 
have come and gone, but have largely been delisted or are stuck on older 
consoles. 

There's currently no concrete release date for the collection, but it's 
confirmed to be coming sometime this year across all consoles as well as PC. 
Marvel's back, baby. You might also like... Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake
