As a long-time fan of both Marvel and Capcom, I must say that the announcement of the release dates for the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics has left me eagerly anticipating September 12th, but also with a twinge of impatience as I wait for November 22nd to get my hands on the physical copy. The prospect of an exclusive comic book included with the physical release is truly enticing, and it’s reminiscent of the thrill I felt when unboxing the special edition of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 all those years ago.
Today, Capcom unveiled two release dates for the game titled Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics. Starting on September 12th, the digital version of this collection will be available, while those willing to wait can grab a physical copy on November 22nd. For many Marvel enthusiasts, that additional waiting period might feel unbearable, but Capcom has added an enticing bonus for preorders on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch platforms: an exclusive comic book! The specifics about the comic are scarce at this time, though we do know it will present a fresh narrative.
According to Capcom’s tweet, the physical version of MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics will include a unique comic book featuring an original storyline and artwork. This item is limited in number and is only available with the physical editions on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, so it’s recommended to pre-order now!
Capcom ran a similar deal with the special edition of Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Purchasers got a comic book written by Frank Tieri and illustrated by Kevin Sharpe. This comic served as a brief prelude to the game’s storyline, featuring interactions such as Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine meeting The Hulk, and Iron Man squaring off against Morrigan. However, Capcom hasn’t disclosed who will be behind the creative team for the comic or what the plot might entail. Despite this, it’s a great bonus for those still deciding whether to buy the collection in physical form.
Hey there fellow gaming enthusiast! I’ve been diving deep into Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection and it’s fascinating how some of these games have tales inspired by classic Marvel comics. For instance, Marvel Super Heroes loosely follows the Infinity Gauntlet storyline (a real blast from the past!), while the original Marvel vs. Capcom draws on the Onslaught crossover. Most folks don’t play fighting games for their narratives, but it’s been a blast to see how the developers wove comics elements into each character’s ending. Who knows if there will be any connection between those endings and the upcoming free comic, but I can hardly wait to find out more in the coming months!
