About this game
MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics gathers seven arcade games, from X-MEN CHILDREN OF THE ATOM to MARVEL vs. CAPCOM 2, alongside THE PUNISHER. The lineup combines fighting games with a beat 'em up, giving you different forms of character combat to explore. Training mode provides a place to practice special moves and combos, and button settings can be customized. The collection also lets you consult arcade instruction cards and adjust the screen presentation. Away from combat, you can browse artwork and development documents or listen to music from the original games. Japanese and English ROM versions differ in some character names and available characters, so the selected version can affect more than the surrounding text.
Collected in series
Marvel vs. Capcom is a crossover fighting series that puts Marvel heroes and Capcom characters on the same teams. You switch fighters, launch opponents into the air and chain attacks into spectacular combos; team sizes and support systems change between entries.
