" I think it’s time for a collection that celebrates this legacy front to back, starting with X-Men vs. SF and going all the way through Marvel vs. Capcom 3"

If Capcom were to do the impossible and release an anthology of this series, I'd prefer they start at X-Men: Children of the Atom and up to Marvel vs. Capcom 2. We don't need MvC3 in it since we already got the superior UMvC3 ported on modern consoles.

If Capcom doesn't then it's no skin off my bones since I already own MvC: Origins, MvC2, & UMvC3 on PS3 and UMvC3 on PS4 for its DLC.

I enjoyed COTA, but it wasn't technically part of the Vs. universe. But, yeah, throw that in there.

FallenAngel19842892d ago

X-Men: CotA is part of the Capcom vs series. Akuma appearing in that game is was the start of Capcom crossing over its properties with companies like Marvel, SNK, Namco, Konami, Tatsunoku, Level-5, Bandai, Microsoft, Sony, Sega, Take-Two, EA, Nintendo, & Square Enix.

Not to mention that Marvel Super Heroes was included in Marvel vs. Capcom: Origins, thus further cementing that it and CotA are part of the series.

PhoenixUp2892d ago

Anytime Capcom has rereleased a classic fighting game on a modern console it only contained 1-2 games. Don't expect Capcom to release a new collection of fighting games that includes more than 2 titles

TheDCD2892d ago

Which is a shame. We've seen in the past when it included three or more, like with Street fighter Alpha Anthology.

ZaWarudo2891d ago

And all the X-Men and Fantastic 4 characters will be removed, because Disney owned Marvel is a petty nazi.

PCGamefan2891d ago

As much as I would love to see this, not going to happen. Licensing alone is going to kill it.

Think that rumor that they'll still make a new console but at a profit at $1000 will be true though. The series consoles will remain their cheap alternative throughout next gen I would say. Keep in mind that game pass and pretty much going 3rd party is their main focus. They want to bring xbox everywhere.

If they don't maintain some kind of console presence, I think they will lose gamepass subscribers and just become a 3rd party publisher who eventually sells everything off

Xbox games are releasing on all platforms. Who needs this hardware? PS or PC is all you need

I've never owned an Xbox in my life and I have GamePass.

thorstein4h ago

The only Xbox I owned was the 360. I have gamepass for my PC.

Even if they could get it down to $800 for a box that can run with comparable performance to a PS6 (at, say $200 cheaper) the population of people willing to buy such a thing would be so limited.
It would be the worst of both worlds.

A slow, painful and public death too.

Because Nintendo makes great games.

Yesyes1d 4h ago

It’s unreal that people are downvoting this when they consistently have the best scoring games on metacritic.

Well it doesn’t surprise me. As much money as they make and how they value their employees. It’s a great company in that regard.

Well, when your games remain full price many years after release.

And you make profit off of outdated hardware.

I would be shocked if they couldn't afford to retain their staff.

lodossrage1d 17h ago (Edited 1d 17h ago )

I didn't want to say anything but drivxr is right.

Nintendo always sells at a profit because they purposely use tech that's always 5 or more years behind. And it's also true their games hardly ever get price decreases.

Don't get me wrong, it's great they kept most of their workforce, but making a point to have your tech specs behind everyone else affords that luxury.

Darkegg1d 15h ago

I don’t think it’s their purpose to use old tech. It’s their purpose to make value of software and know their value. Nobody makes games like them that’s for sure. I just don’t appreciate their customer unfriendly policy.

It’s not impossible to take their status. Companies need to have a selection of 8-bit and 16-bit. Now imagine a split screen for 8 player game for SNES Mario kart and selling at $9.99. The problem is that it doesn’t make profit. So many companies won’t invest in “old” technology. Everyone guns for triple AAA modern technology software but honestly we can enjoy modernized 16-bit creative ideas that allows 8-player mayhem. It’s a pipe dream, possible but impossible.

If they ended up kicking people out after all of that stated above, it would be truly shameful.

DivineHand1251d 11h ago

Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Tesla and Meta are all trillion dollar companies yet they are laying people off in large numbers.

I believe the reason Nintendo layoffs off less workers may be a result of their culture. It seems Japanese companies believe in giving their workers long term or life long employment opportunities and will exhaust all options before laying off workers. This is something we don't see much of in the west unfortunately.

Rdeal1d 5h ago

might be something to do with the fact all those companies hire more than 20x the employees than Nintendo

LoveSpuds1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

What the hell are you talking about? It has nothing to do with how profitable they are. Its completely cultural, MS and Sony make stacks of cash and still lay folks off. Nintendo chose not to lay off staff for the same reason their execs took pay cuts to increase staff pay instead; because they value their staff and view them as colleagues, and respect them as such.

If Sony weren't so US centric I fancy they'd fare better too, they should get shot of US and European leadership and go back to when Japanese execs were running the show if you ask me!
