Capcom has just unveiled a new trailer showcasing the upcoming Marvel vs. Capcom: Fighting Collection which celebrates the iconic collaboration between Marvel and Capcom. This compilation includes seven classic games from their rich history, promising hours of nostalgia and action-packed fights on various platforms like Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC.
The collection features beloved titles such as X-Men: Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, and The Punisher.
A key highlight of this collection is the inclusion of enhanced features such as online play with rollback netcode ensuring smooth multiplayer experiences, training modes for skill development, and access to a gallery filled with design documents and artwork. The release date has yet to be announced but the game is set to arrive in 2024.
What’s your favorite memory or moment from Marvel vs. Capcom games?
I want to be excited.
I want to pay them for making these kinds of collections.
I know in, my heart, that this is going to release with so much bullshit DRM (because CapCom put it on their arcade collection, which I also wanted to buy, again) that I’ll just continue to play my previously acquired copies of these games.
In case anyone with the decision making power over Capcom’s fuck-around-with-DRM division ever wanders in here: You’re losing money. Stop paying for DRM on classic games.
There’s a thousand servers in South America with collections of these games. There’s a million people in China selling a more complete collection on a USB stick (with free shipping!). There’s more cheap and free ways to obtain these games than I can even count. (But all of my copies are legally obtained originals, of course!)
Classic game collections must compete on features and nostalgia and history preservation, to re-sell a classic game for the 10th time.
DRM is pure loss of revenue when applied to classic games.
No one is trying to crack DRM to play and share fucking “Captain Commando”.
I met a guy giving away DRM free copies of these games, as a free bonus, if you buy a belt from him at an intersection. I don’t think the belts were really name brand belts, if I’m honest.
Only legitimate buyers even notice DRM on a classic game, and all it does is make them request a refund, because it made their game not run.
Then they go back to that guy at the intersection. The belts he’s selling honestly aren’t bad.
