When playing through Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, one is reminded of how good Capcom is at licensed games. Each of the games in this collection is a stone-cold classic, and even though more people will end up gravitating toward Marvel vs. Capcom 2 more than any other game, each title represents the kind of fighting game you wouldn't mind revisiting. There's still some tweaking that needs to be done, from the online performance tanking at times to having some more menu option explanations, but that doesn't take away this collection's overall quality. If you're a fan of 2D fighters, you need to have this game in your library.
Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics manages to make a name for itself with an impeccable way to play as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and World Warriors.

It can be said that while Marvel vs. Capcom Collection may seem like just a collection of classic fighting games on the surface, but it actually much more than a simple collection. We're treated to a rich collection of Capcom's classic fighting masterpieces, some of which haven't been officially available for decades.

I would like to thank Capcom for this collection of fighting games. It gave me the opportunity to catch up on some real gems from the past. The Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is certainly not for every video game fan. The fact that beginners are not taken by the hand at all is also not aimed at casuals. Nevertheless, this collection is worth every penny and a must-have for fighting game enthusiasts. Especially as the offline mode is really extensive and it will take some time to master every title and character included.
