Considering that there's already NEO GEO CVS for the Switch, Terry & Mai being guest characters for SF 6, & the MVC Collection announcement, a CVS Collection is all but inevitable at this point. I would honestly be shocked & baffled why that wouldn't be the case, especially since there's no way it would be harder to negotiate with SNK than it is with Marvel & Disney.

[@kingdomhearts31000]

I think the biggest reason why marvel infinite is the best selling mvc game (outside of the many price deals it had) is because it has a story mode. Because UMVC3 was on markets months before MVCI and it was already priced at around 20 dollars and it still sold less than MVCI, because it does not have a story mode that can attract a casual audience.

[@nestorgonzalez8021]

Valid points on mvci having a story mode plus MCU was at its peak in film industry… umvc3 was day purchase on both consoles… hopefully the fanbase shows up and the casual game market follows we have a big chance of MVC4 especially with how huge X-Men 97 success of lately got everyone craving those characters in games

Another thing to consider, MVCI came out during basically the peak era of the MCU. And whether the fgc liked it or not, the inclusion of more movie characters and a story mode definitely helped it, even with it not selling as much as it should have. If MVCI has more appealing graphics, and had a better story mode, it probably would have sold even more considering it had opened up to the MCU audience. But poor ratings prevented more sales. Now, a MVC4 can return back to the inclusion of x men etc characters with how they’re starting to make a theatrical come back.

[@darrylkaopiojr.8883]

[@RockmanV]

The thing is, Marvel needs to be HANDS OFF with MVC4 and just let Capcom cook. Marvel was being a pain to work with when it came to MVC3 and especially with MVCi. So I'd rather them just not be as involved and just sit back and take credit. It'd be better to not include too many influences from the MCU too. Source the comics and cartoons, maybe even keep it within that 90s era. Like how Xmen 97 is a thing.

Per MVC1 : 4p CROSS FEVER MODE from Dreamcast MVC1 …. Hope they included that !!!!! So much couch co-op/competitive 2v2 screen filling FUN !!!

And toggle between their original OST’s and Arranged OST’s (PS2 Arranged 3rd Strike OST is highly underrated) (SF3: New Generation Arranged Album is also highly underrated/under-appreciated) Ability to play stages/theme-songs from NG, 2i, or 3s, in the other entries. For example: Playing WIDESCREEN 3rd Strike, on Elena’s 2i “Night Bridge” stage with that dope “Tomboy” song. Or widescreen 3rd Strike, on Elena’s New Generation “Day Bridge” stage, with the “Tomboy [huge side]” remix from the SFIII: New Generation Arranged Album. Or WIDESCREEN 3rd Strike, on Necro’s 2i train lab stage, with that dope DNB song.

at $50~ 1st month selling price, 1.4 mil sales will be quite a bit of profit for redoing games to emulator. I feel like half of that would be fine. Anything else is just icing.

I think they realize the power of nostalgia from xmen 97 and when they saw that as their best D+ show for the last couple of years they probably said to Capcom, "remember that Max Dood? Let him have his cake".

im buying a pc and switch version. Christmas, birthdays everyone is getting a copy

[@kusanagiflame]

Say things land somewhere in the middle between 2.5M or 3.3M. Let's say we land at 2.8, do you think MvC4 would still get signed off on asap, or would it still be like "steamy talks happen" ?

[@YoVideogames]

above 2.5 would still be all time series best, so it would pretty much be a guarantee at that point. These companies are not expecting collections of old titles to surpass the series best new entries. They assume a new title will sell at least as much as the collection + a percentage more like 50%-100%. So if this outsells MVC 3 and MVCI lifetime best, a new one will be guaranteed unless something foul happens behind the scenes.

[@kusanagiflame]

@@YoVideogames i got ya. Thanks for taking the time to answer. One other question I had just to pick your brain: given the business practices that Microsoft/Xbox have had, like rejecting certain titles, do you think it's possible they may have been approached for inclusion for release and said no again?

[@gc3k]

A new MvC will probably be announced this year (maybe not at Evo, maybe at TGA again like Marvel Infinite)

[@NataliaNeeSama]

The first Capcom Fighting Collecton sold 800k, and their goal was to sell 500k. So it was above expectations (thats why they kept the name for this collection too).So it doesn't take much for this game to be a success.

[@kyl0ooart]

so youre saying it has to outsell street fighter 6

[@FrogJuiceJustice]

I thought switch carts could die too

[@aldon560]

I’m buying it for all 3 systems. Two physical and one on steam

[@fullm3tal90]

I don’t play fighting games BUT I will absolutely be buying this JUST to support you guys

[@PizzaCat4yhwh]

Considering it's got alot of greatness it'll sell well im betting

[@cantstandya9749]

I’m buying this digitally and later on if I find a physical copy I’m copping that one too because I don’t feel safe buying licensed games digitally. I’m in Lebanon so idk if I can easily find a physical copy but here’s to hoping. Ps: buying both on Switch

[@crowevil4658]

No one thinks this will hit 3M??? That’s wild.

[@Shticky]

Buying both switch and ps4 versions… ✅

[@darchangeldavid]

I’m getting this for X-Men vs Street Fighter and MVC2. It will be great to finally have a full arcade based version of those games.

[@jnieves170]

What are we thinking on price??? $40 or $50??

[@gligarguy4010]

Already confirmed $50

[@ToniCiprianiX007]

Im so glad i have the physical copy of MVC3 on PS4. It's a rare game and costs $100 used, so it is time for a rerelease for that game as well.

[@katamus]

read an event hubs interview that these are on MT framework which doesn't natively work on the next gen consoles which is fine for playstation but for xbone I think there is like some policy that series version needs to be the best version in terms of performance but since capcom has moved on to RE engine they probably don't feel it's worth it to make updates to the engine to try and make it native to current gen. Might also explain crossplay not being a thing but not too sure about that one. Edit: Also I'm buying all versions baybeee

[@sferris33]

I already preordered the Switch version. Now I’m just waiting for it to be available for preorders on Steam

[@conrspowrt6691]

already preordered my 2 physical copies, getting my pc copy the frame its available. doing my part

[@salvadormedina9099]

Does anyone know if there's going to be retailer exclusive special editions of any kind? Steelbook?

[@IlokanoWarrior]

It has happened before, I believe it was with SF 2 30th Anniversary, it came with a Ryu figure, an art book, black belt the games collection and bonus music CD's.

[@LowkeyJouta]

Give it a month till EVO, for sure they'll reveal something like that (along with the release date I bet) there

[@thirdworldrenegade]

I plan on getting both, physical and digital. The physical release, I'll keep as a collector's item. I'll download the game digitally and play it. I'm sure tons of people have the same idea. With that said, I can see the collection selling over 3 million units.

[@MrBda241]

I don’t wanna hype up the Switch, mainly due to how its successor is more or less coming next year, but 3rd party games do sell well on that system, I ain’t saying it’ll sell 1 million, but it will add a significant number to the total sales because people travel a lot and having the collection on Switch (and Steam Deck) will boost its sales a good healthy amount.

[@nutmaster7794]

MVC2 at EVO 2025 would go crazy

[@mr.awesome6011]

Oh, it's pretty much a lock since it got announced.

[@Stephenc777]

Even though it’s not on Xbox, the fact that it’s in the switch opens up a ton of opportunities. And having a physical and digital is also smart thinking

[@ARDIZsq]

I'm 100% getting this on at LEAST 1 platform, whether it be Switch or Steam. If it's affordable enough for me, and I've got enough to spare, then I'm getting both. And I think that's an important thing to note is that there WILL be people who buy two or even all three versions of the game, whether it be just to have access to or just to support it that bit extra. I can imagine a lot of double dipping with Steam and Switch, simply because the Switch is SO good for portability, and I'm sure Steam Deck will be too. Between that and the IMMENSE amount of art and hype I've seen online, I'd say 2M is very likely for this collection.

[@HyperViper89]

I'll be doing my part and double dipping digital and physical as well as buying some gift copies for friends and fam.

[@steppinonastoop677]

what worries me is the game will be artificially limited and ur gonna see copies on ebay for ridiculous prices

[@Ethos10128]

I have a friend who never cared for MvC but is excited for it after watching X-Men 97. Hoping this is a common experience for the sake of sales!!
