Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics Nintendo Switch Review - Is It Worth It?

[@wesreleases6346]

This is by far the best review of this game I’ve seen. Nearly every review has been little more than “We all remember how great these games were in the arcades 25 years ago, and the net code is good!” Which means absolutely nothing if you haven’t played them before. I must have read 6 reviews before one mentioned that you can now configure special attacks to a single button. This review actually takes the time to review each game in the collection and not just the collection itself. Thanks for writing a review that explains why the games are good instead of taking it for granted everyone is familiar with each game already.

[@ToniCiprianiX007]

I tripled dip for this collection. Got it digitally on Switch, Playstation, and Steam and will dip again for the switch physical version. Disney won't be taking these games away from me again.

Same here. I sold MvsC 1 and 2 for Dreamcast and made enough for the Switch, PS4, Steam versions and just enough left over for the future Xbox One release. I’m still getting both physical copies too. I told Capcom on social media I would pay whatever for a collection exactly like this a couple years before this was even announced, I kept my word big time.

Good video, but the thumbnail background is a bit sloppy this time around. Even just using the game’s cover art would’ve worked better in my opinion.

[@DieselJT]

Same! The wait for the physical will definitely be worth it!

[@ryuhoshu3303]

Awesome review!! The Punisher game was Capcom's first Marvel game and it's success led to all of these other games, without it we might have never had these awesome titles, it's spot on the collection is well deserved

[@samcandles]

MVC2 with its huge roster is genuinely a great casual game to pop in instead of smash. Lots of over the top fun even if you have no idea how to play these games on a serious level. The easy special input button helps too

[@soramirez5473]

casual? no Smash brothers is casual compared to MVC2.. the combos, and air juggles and cancels are insane, you gotta be a MASTER.

[@okamic1750]

You’ll get bodied by anyone competent as a new player but there is still some casual fun to have. I wouldn’t compare mvc2 to smash normally but I kinda see what you’re saying.

[@Killer_Bee06]

Smash is casual not MvC 2

Got the physical copy for $25 at Walmart as a early Black Friday deal.

[@xxkarlosxxxxxx7233]

Ain't no way cause it's $50 rn😢

[@zach177]

@ yeah it was a mistake. The Walmart employee had marked down a bunch of older games to $25 and MVC was one of them. I when back to that Walmart a day later and it had be fixed to $49.99. Clearly some Walmart employee just made a mistake

Marvel & Capcom: FIGHT!

[@jerryreifeiss3223]

I bought this bundle on day 1. I love it. Especially because I can play my Switch on my home arcade. What a perfect pack of games to enjoy as they were intended, on an arcade. 😊

[@0blackfire0]

Now is the best time to play online with other beginners. If you like fighting games this is a 10/10 collection

[@BENch_Gaming44444]

I bought it twice! Once on PC because it's my preferred platform, and once on Switch so that I could carry the game around with me and get the pre-order bonus that comes with the physical copy.

[@thecunninlynguist]

Hell yes. I pumped so many quarters into these games back then

[@esmooth919]

And I still will, whenever I find a cabinet, despite owning this collection

[@juliogaytan20]

Already have the collection on Steam and have already preordered the physical switch version. Glad to hear the game runs just the same as the others. Thanks

[@thegrudge]

I’m a physical double dipper. Got it for switch first but saw disc art for the ps4 version and had to get that one too. Both of mine came with the pure order comic book as well!

[@esmooth919]

6:47 Capcom vs SNK 1&2 would like a word with you.

[@airbendingeagle2358]

I would agree with this

[@sonicplys64]

I got the PS4 digital and waiting for the Switch physical. These Capcom collections lately have been excellent and I can't wait until Fighting Collection 2.

[@doomslayer6992]

Got ps4 and switch grow up playing all these games 🤘🤘🤘

[@ellestar2306]

I had a digital copy for 360. I wish we could still play it on current Gen consoles

[@matthewesteva673]

i got scared when i heard the whisper "4:3 screen bezels"

[@TrevForPresident]

One of the most concise summaries I've ever heard of this legendary franchise. Great presentation and Capcom killed it with the bundle.

[@AyeAye-Ron]

Can Storm Collectibles now do figures for this line please- Marvel and X-Men!

[@miker2000]

YESSSSSS!!!!!! I couldn't get it to work on my old laptop so I got it for the Switch. I dodged a bullet as match making is somehow better on Switch. And the net code works on the switch really well too! Awesome review!!!

[@DreMurf313]

I give it a 10 out of 10 all day!! I've waited years for this collection to come to modern day consoles.

[@adad87821]

right?and we cannot let these games be lost again

[@Hdressen77]

Got the Digital version for my Switch. Ordered the physical copy for the Playstation. Grew up playing all of these titles in my hometown arcade. Which was a missouri tester site for the majority of these games. Players from st Louis or Kansas city drove to Columbia MO to play these games. This collection is a dream come true.

[@jeremyxn5317]

Is the nintendo switch graphics good enough?

[@Hdressen77]

@jeremyxn5317 is definitely excellent and totally smooth gameplay.

[@robertoflores9080]

Couldn't wait... Preordered my physical copy and will probably leave it sealed while I endlessly play it digitally installed. I love these games. Period.

[@DanielHigbee-j8c]

Don't remember playing these games more than once. Im happy i got a physical copy .love fighting games and beatem ups.,👍

[@Jackattack359]

This collection really took us for a ride, wouldn’t you say?😏

[@joshuamtzchz2596]

If only Disney never bought Marvel comics

[@420_Al]

We wouldn’t have some of their great movies and tv shows

[@GLSnifit]

The fact that this is the first time you can play any of these games on a Nintendo system is reason enough to pick it up

[@VOAN]

They had been trying to avoid Nintendo for so long and in the end it was Nintendo that got them all back together.

[@Al8lack]

Did the physical version of this ever release in the EU? The only "physical" EU versions that I can find are the "code in a box". Looks like it was only released on a physical cart in the US.

[@spaceboyala86]

One of the things I enjoyed about the MvC2 console version was unlocking additional characters one at time. I don’t known if that is available in this collection but I thought it was a fun feature and it would be nice to see that as an option

[@mutantmangoman]

I have loved this collection. It’s so much fun to just run matchmaking for a variety of games and see what you end up playing

[@isaacmelendez5]

I'm so glad they made this collection it takes me back in time and memories. This is gold to me!..

[@atomD21]

I love every single game in this collection and have put more hours than I should admit into MvC2 on the Dreamcast. Super excited to pick this up when I get the money for it.

i hope this sells well enough to warrent a marvel vs capcom 4

[@Darth001]

Having grown up owning most of these games on the sega Saturn and Dreamcast it's nice I can have access to all these games in one cart. Other wise would have to get my PS3 out to play marvel Vs capcom origins and my 360 for mvc2. All in all a good collection

Big time lag with the pro controller and the SNES controller.

@@bry954rr Have you found a wireless controller that works without lag?

[@bry954rr]

@@RonnRicco no, I haven't. Was going to try a wired controller but not worth my time and money. I think the fast players are gaming it on another console. Just my opinion

[@RonnRicco]

@@bry954rr That's what I was thinking. I'm just shocked there aren't more queries from Switch players in this regard. I still have my dreamcast so I'm not bummed about MVC or MVC2. I wanted to finally to be able to play XvsS & MSHvsC on console. Someone on reddit gave a list of other bluetooth controllers to try so I may give each one a try from amazon thru trial and error lol.

I’m a double dipper… possibly a triple. I have it for Switch, digitally. I have my physical copy reserved and may get a physical copy for PS4. This game (collection) is worth every penny!!! I don’t even know how I’m going to tear myself away from it for Zelda. It’s that good!

[@guruofgreatnes8723]

Great review and awesome content!

[@galactica1981]

Do any of these games allow you to choose your opponents?

[@solidwegy61]

I bought it digital for Switch cause I couldn't wait, but I also got it physical on PS4 and again on Switch but keeping it closed.

[@peterwattsuk]

If you dont really know how to play fighting games this may be a good jump on point but if you are not prepared to put the time in to learn the fundamentals like blocking, special moves , assist and basic combos then expect to drop off this quickly. This is a fighting game collection targeting those that get capcom fighters and can find endless fun in them

[@Nightopian1982]

It's well known that these particular Capcom fighters (bar Marvel Super Heroes, which actually has quite a decent level of depth in terms of custom combos) are amateur as far as 2D fighters go. Brilliant fun, of course, and the OTT visuals were absolutely spectacular on Saturn when I first experienced them, but the original SF/Alpha series are definitely the superior games in terms of challenge and learning to master techniques. I might POSSIBLY be tempted by this, but given I've already got all of these on retro consoles bar The Punisher and MvC 1, it might be a pointless purchase. Then again, I also bought SF Anniversary Edition on Switch despite having most of them on Saturn emulation. It's the lure of online play, ultimately.

[@AntonioDeJesus]

I barely buy games at this moment, but when I do I try to buy physical. I'll wait a bit more for this one. I played most of these back then and for me MvC2 is The crown jewel in this collection.

[@koroviev8897]

I’ve never played any of these games, but my older cousins did and I was always curious. How adequate is this collection for a complete newcomer not only to the saga but to 2d fighting as a whole?

[@aust100]

I play it on steam deck and it’s great. Love this collection. Its going to take you far a ride for sure. 👍 get it you’ll love it

getting the physical and double dipping. They'll NEVER TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME EVER AGAIN!!!

[@TheAccountant1000]

The only thing I dislike about this is that you can’t really map the coin and start button in the format buttons you want other then that it’s a great game got it for PS4, PC, and Switch

[@skmeinherzbrennt7811]

I just bought the physical copy for the switch

[@juliogaytan20]

Do we know if the physical switch version will actually have all the games in the cartridge or will it require that we download the games? I guess vice versa for the PS version too

[@VOAN]

It'll had all the games on the cartridge cause the previous Capcom Fighting Collection did had all the games in the cartridge. You also can't even buy every game in the collection separately anyways. I know that it had all the games on the cartridge cause when I play the cartridge on a Switch that doesn't had my account I could still access all the games.

[@juliogaytan20]

@VOAN that's good. Just heard about the "physical game" in like Europe advertised that it would be digital. Plus disney is Hella involved. Wouldn't be surprised that they would do bullshit like this.

One correction. It's a save STATE, not states. You only get one across all 7 games.

I was so excited to see this review and then disappointed when I saw the physical release is month plus out 😒

[@airbendingeagle2358]

7:53 - for those who just want to know the review without being educated about the games in the collection. Nintendo Life, you should have called this video "The Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics Retrospective and Nintendo Switch Review". While it is great to hear the history of the games included in the collection, some people may just want to know the review and whether or not they should pick it up for the switch (which I do recommend - if you are a fan of the Marvel VS Capcom series)

[@TheCPak]

Is the switch version patched? Mine is not

[@robertsager7777]

Got the physical copy preordered off amazon! LFG!

[@VirgoTruck]

Honestly after hearing everything said, the 9 threw me haha, expected a 10 and I'm usually spot on. Makes me wonder what the reason is for the lost point, is it just because it's not a new game?

Where's the Juggernaut tag in patch for Switch??

[@cashnelson2306]

cringe as hell to even mention the marvel movies in a video about these games

[@jamesherriott]

I don’t understand why the video doesn’t match the narration. I feel it’s just random game footage that is played from each game while it is narrated, rather than footage that matches. Unless you were clued up on the games, phrases such as ‘variable assist’, ‘partner assist’, ‘norimato’ mean nothing without footage to back it up.

[@VOAN]

It's likely they assume you know what those things are already.

I'm sorry to say that this review is lacking. Any reviewer worth their marbles would automatically and put the emphasis on the refund problem affecting the unlucky players playing MvC2 online caused by one menacing individual. The unlucky ones get bodied by "the Wazzler", sometimes yelling things like "putting the FUN in REFUND". (Problem affecting all versions of the game) 👍

I was hyped for this but the price has really put me off. If it was £20 id go for it. But I know I wont play it enough to justify £40. Might just emulate the originals on ROG Ally instead.

[@zeldadonkey1]

Lol you think that's bad, try buying the MvC 2 Dreamcast port

[@skyMcWeeds]

Spent a pretty penny on the original Dreamcast cd so 50 bucks isn't too much for me personally. Plus I wanted to support capcom so we get more classic collections (a collection 2 is on the way hooray Power stone 1& 2, CVS2 and Project Justice) I expected online to be filled with sweaty tryhards and yeah ranked is filled with them, casual matches is the way to go for more team comp fun.
