During Nintendo’s Direct showcase last month, Capcom surprised fighting game fans by announcing Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics.
Ahead of its arrival at some point later this year, Marvel Games head of product development Laura Hathaway discussed the collaboration on the company’s official podcast – mentioning how the goal was to “surprise and hopefully delight” fans. Here’s part of what she had to say (via EventHubs):
Miracle: “We’re always looking for ways to really surprise and hopefully delight our fans. The idea of bringing these games back has always been really, really exciting for us, so we’re glad to finally be able to announce it.”
Hathaway went on to mention that the game will continue to hit fans “right into nostalgia” with cool features like the gallery and sound archives, while also modernizing each game’s systems and making sure the collection is fun to play on current-gen hardware.
This follows Capcom also confirming that a physical version of this collection will be released on Switch and PlayStation. This will include seven titles, which you can see in action in the trailer above or learn more about them in the original announcement post:
