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.
