Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is easily the best and most robust collection of classic Capcom fighters so far. While the lack of crossplay is still a disappointment carrying over from Capcom Fighting Collection, everything else about this collection shines bright. It is a truly exhaustive compilation that celebrates so much no matter how much you're into Capcom, Marvel or both.

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.

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. This collection not only gathers all these works together, but by making targeted changes and very effective improvements, it turns the experience of each of these works into the best experiences that each of them has offered to date.

Amidst the increasingly present debate in the video game industry about the need and importance of preserving games, the collection MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics hits the nail on the head, bringing to current consoles the classic crossovers that were popular at the time. The presentation of the title itself (menus and themes), however, could have been more polished. It's a simple hub that gives you access to the seven games present and nothing more, very different from the care that was put on Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. In any case, just the mere existence of this nostalgic collection — something unthinkable until recently — is something to celebrate, whether you like fighting games or not.

A collection of some of Capcom's best fighting games, which are still incredibly fun to play today. Only HD remasters or remakes are better than this, but you won't be able to stop playing and wanting to share with friends.
