Nintendo Life: 9 / 10 by Tom Massey
There is a decade of gaming evolution here, including what is arguably the pinnacle of Capcom's fighting game craft. Perfectly preserved and presented, everything is beautifully formed and wonderful to play. Assembled with real clarity in regards to fan expectation, Capcom has thoroughly delivered the goods, from its ton of bonus features to its rollback netcode, with years' worth of combative nuance to explore, learn, and exact in the online arena. Oh, and The Punisher is awesome, too.
Press Start: 9 / 10 by James Berich
Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is easily the best and most robust collection of classic Capcom fighters so far. While the lack of crossplay is still a disappointment carrying over from Capcom Fighting Collection, everything else about this collection shines bright. It is a truly exhaustive compilation that celebrates so much no matter how much you're into Capcom, Marvel or both.
COGconnected: 80 / 100 by Jaz Sagoo
Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics includes some of the best fighters in the genre and is a must-have for enthusiasts. Packed with a range of features such as the ability to alter display filters, online options, training modes, and even a music player, the game is comprehensive. Although I would have liked to see a museum-style mode with interviews and commentary on the game’s creation, the quality-of-life improvements and rich selection of fighters make this a standout collection.
Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics Description
Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is a compilation of seven fighting games developed by Capcom, in which we can fight as heroes of Marvel comics or other games from the Japanese publisher.
Games included in the package
Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics consists of the following titles:
- X-Men: Children of the Atom;
- Marvel Super Heroes;
- The Punisher;
- Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes;
- Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes;
- Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter;
- X-Men vs. Street Fighter.
While the first three games are entirely devoted to characters brought to life by Marvel, the next four titles are crossovers, in which comic book heroes can compete with heroes and heroines created by Capcom.
Gameplay
Six of the seven titles included in Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics are classic 2D fighting games, in which two characters go to specially prepared arenas and fight until one of them manages to knock out the opponent.
The exception is The Punisher, being a beat'em up game. Assuming the role of the titular hero, we move to the right through various stages and fight against the adversaries attacking us.
Special additions have been prepared for the collection, such as a music box with tracks from individual games, a museum containing a wide range of artworks, or even filters that we can apply to the screen.
Game modes
All games that make up the bundle Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics allow us to play alone or in multiplayer. We can play with other players locally (on a shared screen) and online. In order to ensure stable online gameplay, the authors used Rollback Netcode technology.
The compilation has been equipped with the ability to play friendly and ranked matches, as well as a special network lobby. Additionally, we can find a special training mode, or a spectator mode, which allows us to watch the games of other players. There are also global rankings to compare our scores with others.
