This is so good for online disagreements

I'm genuinely a bit wowed that a Marvel vs Capcom retro collection is coming out. I'd thought that was some kind of licensing limbo situation, maybe it was for a while? Anyway I played the SF/Darkstalkers collections to death last year, this will be a first day buy for me

Not so much limbo, but I'm guessing Marvel was the one holding it up. The only real activity since Infinite came out were those Arcade 1-Up cabinets, and the last time MvC 2 was officially available on console was 2013. Might spring for physical copy on this one. (Marvel/Activision, where are my X-Men Legends/Marvel Ultimate Alliance remasters?)

But yeah - it's been so long it feels like a miracle of sorts, especially since Maximillian's been stumping for it for four years

I was going to say Marvel Ultimate Alliance already got shitty overpriced Steam remasters a few years back, but a) it was 2016! and b) they've been delisted again 💀

I loved x-men legends

I'm actually looking forward to playing the earlier games, as I played MvC2 to death and barely touched any of the others. MvC1 looks a bit better aesthetically to me - it's a similar situation to Alpha 2 and 3, while the latter has a crazy number of characters and stuff going on, the former feels more complete and satisfying as a game somehow.

This is giving me faint hope the the original Capcom Alien vs Predator and the Jojo fighting game may see the light of day again.
