Marvel versus Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is a superb release from Capcom. It has all the 90s Marvel/Capcom arcade classics, a decent Punisher game, and some goodies that were only featured in Japan (mainly Norimaro). The collection will please any gamer who enjoys classic fighters. The younger crowd may not love it, as fighting games have become more complicated and competitive, something not as prevalent in these, but it’s a great way to revisit some classics for those who enjoy doing so.

Much like the Sun will set one day, I’m sure the licensing agreement that brought this collection to us will certainly end. So if you truly are a fan of fighting games you owe it to yourself to secure this title, it’s worth every penny of its $49.99 asking price.

Capcom has delivered another terrific collection of fighting games with all the bells and whistles, packed with music, promotional art and development images that every fan of these still-great arcade titles will appreciate. Care has been given to ensure gameplay options are there for all types of players, with solid training and online modes that will introduce a new generation to some of Marvel and Capcom's best collaborative work.
Six classic fighters and one extra beat-'em-up come together in a collection that's well worth the wait.
The overall consensus is that sure, you are going to buy Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection solely because of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and it sure has been remastered to perfection, but I’m glad that this package features every single Marvel-themed Capcom title developed and released prior to their 2000 magnum opus. It’s a phenomenal collection I never thought would ever be released, a magnificent piece of gaming preservation and mindless arcade fun. In short, grab it, have fun with it, and rejoice.
Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is a beautiful and nostalgic tribute that revives 7 iconic fighting games. Although the lack of additional modes and cross-play limits its potential, it remains an excellent option for both veteran and new players. Still, we can't help but feel that Capcom could have done more to make it the ultimate collection
