PC players can save even more on Steam keys with Fanatical’s deal that drops the price of the PC version to $34 until December 17 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET.
Physical editions were packaged with an exclusive comic book at launch. While there’s still a chance you’ll get the comic book with your order now–the physical edition released November 22–it’s not guaranteed. However, you will get a different exclusive comic book if you preorder the recently announced Capcom Fighting Collection 2.
$40 for Switch & PS5 (Physical) | $34 for Steam keys
The collection comes with seven fighting games:
- The Punisher (1993)
- X-Men: Children Of The Atom (1994)
- Marvel Super Heroes (1995)
- X-Men vs. Street Fighter (1996)
- Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter (1997)
- Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash Of Superheroes (1998)
- Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age Of Heroes (2000)
Similar to Capcom’s other retro compilations, the games are accompanied by a time capsule of extra content. You’ll get all the music from the original arcade releases, behind-the-scenes art, and some helpful gameplay assists like one-button combos if you’re new to these games.
The Marvel fighting games in the compilation haven’t been seen for quite some time on console. Each game is a showcase of ’90s fighting game magic, as Capcom’s collection of brawlers featured fast-paced action, fantastic pixel art character designs, and rock-solid gameplay designed to liberate coins from your pockets. If you’re looking to go online, the games rollback netcode, casual matches, and ranked play. Perfect for anyone looking to reawaken some muscle memory in their thumbs.

If you enjoy the collection but want to relive the full arcade experience, Arcade1Up’s Marvel vs. Capcom 2 – X-Men ’97 arcade machine released earlier this year. The $500 home arcade cabinet comes with eight games. A few of the games are also in the new collection, but it has several titles you won’t find in Arcade Classics. You can check out more details on the cabinet below.
$500
The Arcade1Up Marvel vs. Capcom 2 X-Men ‘97 Edition is packed with all the features you’d expect from Arcade1Up’s Deluxe cabinets. This includes online multiplayer, a 17-inch color display, a light-up coin door, and gorgeous X-Men artwork. You’ll get access to eight games with the cabinet:
- Marvel vs Capcom 2
- Marvel vs Capcom 1
- Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter
- X-Men vs Street Fighter
- Marvel Super Heroes
- X-Men Children of the ATOM
- X-Men Mutant Apocalypse
- Marvel Superheroes in War of the Gems
If this list sounds familiar, that’s because the discontinued original Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Arcade1Up cabinet has the same exact games. The difference between the two is the cabinet artwork. The original cabinet focused on Marvel vs. Capcom 2, while the new one features X-Men instead. It is worth noting that the X-Men cabinet retails for $100 less than the original.
