In the 1990s, two titans of two mediums joined forces: Marvel Comics and Capcom. Capcom had become quite in the force in the early years of the decade thanks to their arcade fighters and beat-em ups like Street Fighter II and Final Fight. Marvel was also becoming a force in pop culture thanks to characters like Spider-Man, the Punisher, and of course, the X-Men. Capitalizing on the X-Mania of the time, Capcom released the fighting game X-Men: Children of the Atom. This game would go on to spawn the beloved Marvel vs. Capcom series of fighting games.
In the latest Nintendo Direct, it had been announced that after many years, these games would be released in a collection together alongside the 1993 Punisher beat-em-up called the marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection. Let's look at the trailer!
I remember seeing the second MvC in an arcade somewhere. Never owned any of the previous ports.
Yeah, being an Avengers fan must have sucked in the 1990s. All you really had was comic books and prayers that other heroes outside of Spider-Man appeared in other things. Yes, the Avengers did get a beat-em-up, but nobody talks about that one.
Man, Iceman would be really handy right now with the summer heat.
For those who didn't know, the Punished got a beat-em-up back in 1993. It was ported to the Sega Genesis, but it's seen as a much inferior version of the game. There was a port to the PlayStation in the works, but it was never done.
Sound Test! I love sound tests!
Training mode! Anything to help new players get better is a good thing in my opinion!
I do admit that my experience with these games is...limited. I never really played them as a kid.
