For many longtime fans Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will always be the pinnacle of the series, but it’s also squarely rooted in the franchise’s arcade roots. What makes MvC3 an incredible game in its own right (and a fantastic companion piece to anyone looking to grab the new collection when it drops) is how it translates the franchise formula into a more modern fighter.

The fact that Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics exists is a miracle - a veritable glitch in the timeline. After both companies seemingly burned its bridges after Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite’s disastrous reception, any kind of comeback for the Versus series became one of gaming’s white whales.
