The Nintendo Switch version of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is down to just $35 at Amazon (was $50). This is a great chance to pick up an excellent collection of classic Capcom titles on a single cartridge.
If you’re not on Switch, or would prefer playing on a different platform, you can grab the PlayStation version for $40. The Steam version is also available for just $41 at Fanatical. An Xbox version is planned to launch later this year, but is not yet available.
The Marvel vs. Capcom: Fighting Collection includes seven classic Capcom fighting games and brawlers:
- Marvel vs. Capcom
- Marvel vs. Capcom 2
- Marvel Super Heroes
- Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter
- The Punisher
- X-Men: Children of the Atom
- X-Men vs. Street Fighter
For many of these games, this collection is the first time they’ve been officially available in many years. Each game includes all the content of its original arcade version and is enhanced with a crisper graphical presentation and online matchmaking with roll-back net code. That makes this collection one of the best–and in some cases only–ways to play them on modern consoles.
