[@RosyTheRascal15]

At least it wasn't Barlog. Hope someone understood that refrence

[@jmarx3943]

My personal favorites are marvel super heroes (juggernaut main), and xmen vs street fighter (rogue and gambit or sabretooth main).

[@jesssealey6552]

@@SwitchUpYt never got to play any of them so this would be a new experience for me, any recommendations on which to play first? Really a shame physical copies aren't being released worldwide or a restricted to Limited Run Games like Hitman Blood Money: Reprisal. But I guess beggers can't be choosers, as it were.

[@claytonweaver7335]

Marvel vs Capcom 2 is the best. Xmen vs SF is probably the best of the rest. Punisher is also a lot of fun.

[@GnarlySeaBass]

Also, this isn't part two of Capcom Fighting Game Collection-- Capcom Fighting Game Collection Vol. 2 comes out next year. This one is Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics. Their naming convention sucks lol

I'm not even that big of a fighting game fan, but I preordered two physical copies as soon as I was able to, so I'm waiting on those. Love MvC2, and I _never_ expected these games to come back due to licensing shenanigans. Best thing is, all the games are included on the disc/cart, so when the Playstation and Switch servers eventually go down, you'll still have access to everything.

Warning: In Europe at least the "physical" Switch version is a code in a box. North America seems to be getting a physical cartridge but EU and UK are not. PS4 copies appears all territories are getting a disc.

[@ty_sylicus]

So cool having all these games in one place now.

[@samcushing3790]

Fighting game character sprites have never been bettered. This is the absolute pinnacle of pixel art. £40 is an absolute no-brainer. I owned these games ( bar The Punisher ) on Saturn & Dreamcast and they cost me an absolute fortune on import back in the day so to have them all available again with no CD loading times is just a dream come true.

[@minjod]

Amazing collection. But why does Capcom hate Europe? It would be an instant buy, if it had physical available here

[@rodneytolfo3151]

Wow I never thought id play these games ever again 😭😍 Its been 20 years since i played xmen vs street fighter which was my favourite back in the day. Im just so happy these are coming out. Now to save up to buy the physical copy. Lets hope switch 2 is backwards compatible so i can play these for a long time to come 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I’ve LOVED this series ever since I saw COTA for the first time in the arcade! Unbelievable sprite work and still looks beautiful today. Bit of a dream come true this collection ❤️. MVC2 is legendary. Thanks for the detailed review Glen 👍🏻

[@gferreira93]

I remember staying at my aunts house during summer, and there was old bar across the street that had an arcade machine with Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter there. We were only allowed to play if it was raining and we couldn’t play outside. Thankfully summer used to rain a lot there. I’m pretty sure I could’ve bought a house with the amount of coins I’ve spent in that machine. Zero regrets tho.

[@CrowScareify]

I am probably one of the few people that is the most excited about the Punisher having a home release more than the other games lol the Genesis Punisher game was so bad and finally having the real deal is awesome

I remember Marvel v Capcom on release in Arcades. I spent most of my youth Sciving School and blowing loads of £ in my local Arcades. Man things where so much better in them days. Life in general was just better. Cheers Glen. Great review. I'm nearly 50 and have seen it all in video games and when this 1st released, it's the Golden age of video games in my opinion. The Punisher beat em up alone is worth the pick up.

I know Sony is very possessive over Spiderman but imagine if The Amazing Spiderman from the PS1, Spiderman Movie 1 and 2 for PS2 were ported to the Switch. I remember there being a DS Spiderman as well and I'd happily play that too. Might invest in this just to get to fight as Wolverine and Spiderman as a compromise.
