Capcom: Infinite is a big deal to Capcom, as it's no doubt invested a good deal of money in the Marvel license, and is trying to make its characters as close to the MCU as it can (even if it means alienating some die-hard fans that want to see some X-Men in there). Capcom Anthology would kill on the market right now – value with the other property that's coming out. Capcom: Infiniteįinally, let's not forget the key reason why a Marvel vs. That'd mean like a value of about $8 a game, and that would pretty much pay for itself in a matter of sessions.Ĭapcom's proven that it could cram a great deal of value in a package before – The Disney Afternoon Collection is a steal at $20, considering two very rare NES games are included – so it could easily release this package at a killer price, and make a good deal of money for itself and for Marvel (and for Fox, if they insist on those rights). Now imagine if Capcom could throw all that together for a pretty reasonable price, like around $30 or $40. (Not a bad idea, even if they wouldn't quite be a proper fit.) That'd be about right, though some of you would probably want the Capcom vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, and Marvel vs. Capcom Anthology? Well, something along the lines of X-Men Vs. So what games would we want to see in the Marvel vs. It’d Be Quite A Worthwhile Package With The Right Pricing And, with online play, again, it's be glorious. So introducing them to new hardware – the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 – would really get fans into it all over again. And the games are still quite popular today, even if they're not available for download. Capcom: Origins got a release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 awhile back. We did get a quick history lesson with the games in the past, as both Marvel vs. Bringing these games back would not only remind players of how great the games used to be, but how great they can be again – especially if Capcom brought in someone like Iron Galaxy (who's working on Killer Instinct at the moment) to improve net coding. They struck out on their own accord with the fighting community, creating masters of the partner switch out and double team super move with ease. To say that the Versus games didn't do as well as the Street Fighter games would be a gross understatement. And here's why I believe it's beneficial that Capcom bring out this little anthology. After all, Capcom had no trouble re-releasing Ultimate with its X-Men characters, so it could easily do the same for other games. Capcom 3, since we have the Ultimate version already.Īnd before you say, "Fox is gonna put up a fight with the rights," not necessarily. SF and going all the way through Marvel vs. And, with that, I think it's time for a collection that celebrates this legacy front to back, starting with X-Men vs. Street Fighter, and eventually grew into something much bigger involving the Marvel and Capcom collective universes. Well, really, it didn't start that way – it started all the way back with the old-school favorite X-Men vs. So while Capcom is on this nostalgic kick and bringing back a number of its classics in new form – like next week's forthcoming Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 and the previously released Disney Afternoon Collection – I can't help but wonder if maybe it's time to really dig in to one of the company's biggest franchises on the fighting circuit.
