Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Punches Up September Release

A rare triple dip for me. Once digitally on Switch. Again digitally on Steam for good online. Third time physically on Switch to keep the games for years.

Why such a delay in the physical? Preorders for them have been going on since it was announced.

When a game has a big licensing tie-in like Marvel, it's always worth springing for the physical edition. They tend to go away after a while.

I need clarification.
What's the difference between Alpha 3 Upper and before Alpha 3 Upper?
Just need to check the different features before consider the games.

Holy Sballs. Plasma Sword, PowerStone 1 and 2, Capcom V SNK games. I need now.

Called it. Looking forward to it

I'll be picking up the physical release although I'm not a fan of the recent trend of physical releases of some games coming months after they're released digitally.

Double dipping for sure!! Can’t wait for this one 🤜

@Anti-Matter
Expanded roster nearly doubled and some adjustments.

Welp between this and Capcom fighting game collection 2 I can retire my gamecube. My switch is gonna be on fire. I will be getting both switch and ps4 copies. Switch is my one stop fighting game shop.

Now capcom I am trying not to be greedy but I can’t be the only one that wants to play SF EX3 on modern systems right? Right?

Preordered the physical. We get CvS2 next year too. Capcom has me swooning.

NORIMARO IS HERE!!!

@Anti-Matter iirc Alpha 3 Upper was released for the Sega Naomi hardware instead of the CPS II like the original, it features fixes and a few new characters (or secret characters are easily selected, I forget).

The funny thing is it's not even close to the most definitive version. There was a Gameboy Advance version with a few more characters, and then the psp version, called Double Upper, features every character from previous versions plus 1 more, combine that with near perfect recreation of gameplay and sprites and you've got yourself the definitive Street Fighter Alpha.

Upper isn't played much because people like the glitches before they were fixed, and if you want all the characters there are hacked versions or the psp version. They probably just threw it in the collection because the licensing is easy and they figured out good Naomi emulation on Switch.

@Ryu_Niiyama I just realized the only two games I go back to my GameCube for are CVS2 and Mario DDR.

Here's hoping they can make my GameCube completely obsolete someday

@IceClimbersMain
Was Alpha 3 on PS2 from Alpha Anthology counted as Alpha 3 Upper?

November is so far away, but not as far as March for Suikoden.

Finally! The release date!

Yes will be getting that nice sweet physical edition.

@Serpenterror digital PS5, physical Switch for me!
..did you see the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 trailer? Power Stone games, CVS 1 and 2 SFA3: Upper, Plasma Sword, Project Justice !!!

@IceClimbersMain soul calibur II still keeps me in the game cube era but I love that the switch is a one stop shop for so many fighting games!

@TheIronChimp And SFA3: Upper. I think that was just on PSP. One of the best ever imo.

I can't believe the classic fighting game library the Switch is going to end up with, when it's all said and done. Between fighters, classic fps, and S/JRPGs, I really think it might be the best library of any console, for me.

Hey guys, they show Narimaro (at 29:16) in the trailer, does that mean he's finally in the collection for the Japanese version of Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter? Remember it's not Capcom who show it, it's Nintendo. This was not seen in the Capcom trailer, only in the Nintendo one.

Almost feels a bit too early (september 12th) as I've played around 130 hours in Fighting Games in 2024 so far, and I'm a bit burned out on the genre right now (and I still have around 10-12 games in the genre that I'm not done with).

But it's still nice to see what the buzz about these games is (never played any of the them).

The just announced Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is nice to have, to have something to look forward to 2025. And it also feels like we're getting to the "bottom of the well" when it comes to the classic pixel art Fighting Games with especially the CvS games (SNK's own pixel art Fighting Games are all available through Arcade/Neo Geo Archives, I think - not with online though).

Not a bad Direct at all Nintendo/Capcom/Snk.

@LadyCharlie Feel like the Steam version would have the smallest install base since Fightcade exists on PC. Not that collections like these hold an online community that well in the first place.

Now that this collection's happened, I'm hoping it does well and Digital Eclipse ends up doing collections for the other, non-Fighting Game Marvel & Spider-Man games, Spider-Man having enough for his own collection.

Ok, so i checked Capcoms site and apparently the physical Switch version isnt coming to Europe 😭. That kind of sucks. I'll get it anyway but I am a little gutted....

Norimaro is there!! THEY DID IT!

Trying to make me go digital and physical. But exciting news for the release date.

@martynstuff they didn't even mention what retail the ps4 version in uk/ireland will have it in. it's not even up for pre order on ps4 which is strange. https://www.capcom-games.com/marvel-vs-capcom-fc/en-uk/product/

As much as I want this, I'll hold off until the physical release. I usually don't mind going digital, but a collection like this, physical is a must.

Finally the physical release date. Though I wish it would come earlier in October. Oh well. I just hope the USA, Ukraine, all of Europe, France, Taiwan, Palestine, Japan, and Taiwan will be ok for years to come. Also, hoping for a physical switch release on fighting collection too. To have both power stone games, playing Dino dragon in fighting evolution, and many others, this is bliss. Thank you Capcom.

Still waiting on the listings for a UK version.

Had to snag an import copy of the first Fighting Collection. Thought this one might be in greater demand so got my hopes up for a local release.

@WrongChops https://www.capcom-games.com/marvel-vs-capcom-fc/en-uk/product/ their website still advertises it just no store to pre order on.

@Jackomorgan I can only see a physical version for PS4. I can see a Switch physical for pre-order on Amazon US, but not on UK retailer sites.

@WrongChops Capcom Europe deleted their tweets about Marvel Vs Capcom physical pre order which confusing and even more confusing the uk live stream of the direct had the Physical available November 22nd for the switch on the stream. Capcom has p**spoor communication when it comes to this s**te.

@somebread I always wondered: Where does your profile pic come from?
