"After defining/redefining the fighting game genre with Street Fighter II and its many iterations and sequels, Capcom also spent much of the 1990s creating beloved fighters bas ed on Marvel properties. This fisticuff-laden Marvel series started with X-Men: Children of the Atom in 1994 and reached a pinnacle with Marvel vs. Capcom 2 in 2000. Following the success of the Capcom Fighting Collection and Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle, Capcom has finally bundled all of their Marvel fighters onto modern platforms as Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics. And what’s more, the 1994 co-op beat ‘em up The Punisher is included as well," says Co-Optimus.
"Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics has quantity and quality in spades - a bundle made with the care it deserved."

Review - If you are a fan of great games, you need to add MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics to your library yesterday.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Video game compilations are like those "buy one, get one" offers that pop up in supermarkets and online retailers every now and then. Only they're better. More often it's "buy one, get three" or "buy one, get eight". In 2024, there were plenty of good deals, including Castlevanina Dominus Collection, which assembled three must-play handheld Castlevania titles and revivified one of the rare franchise duds; Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered, which commemorated 25 years of Soul Reaver with a fresh coat of paint and quality-of-life updates; Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, a well-researched, well-curated celebration of the crossover fighting series; and Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, the definitive way to play three classics of the genre."
