Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection GameSpot Review

A package worthy of the modern era.

Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection brings together all six of those era-defining fighting games--along with the historic brawler that started the core partnership between Marvel and Capcom--in a new era. Thankfully, this package presents each game in a way that celebrates that storied past while also injecting new life into them with modern features, creating a collection that's up to the task of reintroducing these classics to a new age of players.

One of my most memorable arcade experiences is walking by the machine and seeing Cyclops shaking hands with Ryu and it blowing my mind that they were in a game together.

90's are the pinnacle of the fighting games

Can I just share? 😊

Year is 1994 in the Philippines, I have P50 ($1 now). I walk 30 minutes to the mall from our house and go straight to the arcades to buy token and play Marvel vs Street fighter. After playing, I buy chips and zunkist (orange tetra pak) and sit on the stairs and eat. These are one of the best moments in my life. Man the 90s are just something else. Have a nice day ahead and thanks for reading 😊

The graphics and character animation still look awesome all these years on. Aged so well. Capcom make the best looking games in the industry.

This game came out today which is the same day as my birthday! It was a fun present for my 30th Birthday.

The Marvel vs Capcom arcade machine collected so much of my quarters back in the day.

My teenage years.
Arcades were a time with real friends, not online friends

I know the main highlight was MvC2 but MvC1 was the one I played the most growing up. Hearing that character select song booting it up yesterday genuinely made me tear up. Hopefully this does well, and we can get another game in the MvC series.

You can't go wrong with this collection.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 is the greatest fighting game ever made.

X-Men Children of the Atom may not be as xtreme as the rest, but the sprites sure are prettier and the stages; amazing. 💯

This game means a lot to me! We were a family just getting by going to the laundry to wash, I'd be playing X men Vs Street Fighter and MvC with a 5 dollar bill every visit! I've been a lifelong fan since and aimed to get gud!

I remember Seeing X-Men Vs Street Fighter in the lobby of a Walmart (the area with the shopping carts before you walk in). I just watched the opening attract mode over and over. I had street fighter alpha 2 on PS1 at home, and seeing that Ryu sprite do insane things he couldn't do in alpha 3 blew my mind

I'm loving this collection so much! I know MVC2 gets all the bells and whistles (rightly so) but the X-Men vs SF and Marvel vs SF games were far and away the ones I played the most as a child and they are very special to me. Thank you Capcom for bringing these blasts from the past back!

I’m buying this game for ONE character…OMEGA RED ! 😤💪

[gregknies]

Spent a good 4 plus hours straight playing this collection today. relieving my childhood. Such an awesome collection. Beat all the games except MVC and MVC2 as I still need to play those.

[johncastanya]

this is a dream come true these games were hard to find back when they first came out now they released every game in one whole collection 10/10 for me i purchased it before i went to work this morning, now all i have to do is survive the drive home😬

[sonic_genesis]

I’m a Marvel vs Capcom fan for years!
I played all the games years ago, on the arcades, emulators and consoles.
I still enjoy it today. It’s an impressive series. It’s a 7/10 for me. Capcom Fighting Collections is the best!

[outlawmisfit]

This is such a GIFT. I’m excited to own and be able to show this to my kids!! It works runs feels and looks as amazing as I remember. It’s just joyful !! 🎉

Those drawbacks don't make sense. You're playing these games because you're a fan of the characters and want to play them, how dated any of the games is doesn't matter because each game is the only place to get that specific experience of those heroes fighting those enemies. Technical differences don't matter if the games are also thematically different.
Nobody is grabbing this collection purely because they want a competent retro fighter, they're grabbing it because they're a fan of at least 3-4 of the included games if not even all of them.
