Could be. Sadly this IS Capcom we are talking about, for all the good games they do, their Euro physical releases are mainly just for big games, anything Mega Man is almost certainly gonna be digital only ;(
Forgot Tech Romancer, and Star Gladiator. I mean the latter I get but the former is such a unique game
I'm considering just importing a Japanese copy since it'll most likely be multi-language and it'll probably be the cheaper option.
I remember buying it on Dreamcast back when I bought every fighter out there, and I really didn't like it. I think mostly because it was so weird for a fighting game, I think it played almost more like the modern anime arena fighters. I sold it shortly after.
I also got Plasma Sword, and that was not a good game either. I couldn't get past the god-awful blocky character models and horrible animation, since it was basically on PS1 hardware originally.
Have the Japanese versions gone up for sale yet? Id be fine doing that as well honestly, it'll be multi language anyway.
I imagine there'll be a big influx of people that like the games but suck or are just totally new to the series. On Fightcade I'd expect a higher ratio of ass beatings. Even if everyone moves over to the new releases, there'll just be a crapload more randoms of all experience levels that were never on Fightcade.
Definitely should check out his combo videos!

Also for people who are fan of MSH, the game has a pretty solid competitive scene in Japan. It was even at Evo Japan this year.

Final fight was in the beat 'em up collection tho?
A 3D fighter collection with Final Fight revenge would be hilarious tho
There's definitely some room for another fighters collection, particularly if you add Tech Romancer and Star Gladiator. There's definitely a 3D fighters theme. I don't know if the SF EX series would be doable but that too.
I would add :
- Dungeons & Dragons. I still have the XBLA version and the Japanese PS3 port, but that collection should be more available. At least it's a better situation than Konami's X-Men.
- the SNES Disney games, the Magical Quest trilogy
- Breath of Fire.
Mixed opinions here. I might still give it a try but I'm gonna avoid online play like the plague, I don't really like online multiplayer anyways. I prefer solo playing any game.
My dream would be a full up 3D Fighter collection covering their whole 90's-06 output.
My more reasonable expectation would be a Dreamcast/Naomi collection since emulation is super similar, both have been cracked, and the DC has a bunch of the one offs and sequels that weren't on Naomi software(Plasma Sword, Tech Romancer)
His more recent stuff has a more typical digital looking shading and coloring. MVC has a sort of penciled lines look to the shading. Which may very well have been inspired by Marvel Comics art, at that time.
But otherwise, the characters in the new stuff still look like Bengus. I would be overjoyed to have a game with graphics which tried to preserve this look:
Even this art for the DMC5 Japan Steelbook, still looks like Bengus
I dont think Final Fight 2 & 3 have ever been in recent collections though.
Would be nice to have them all in one package like in a Beat Em Up Bundle vol 2 or just a smaller collection dedicated to Final Fight.
The first one, yeah. It would be nice to have a collection with all of the console games and interesting ports like Final Fight One.
That's an interesting one as well.
Hopefully those are collected, would be kinda nuts if they didn't.
Especially with Street Fighter 6 taking place in the FF city, lots of tie in potential there.
it'll never happen, but i'd be more into that than a new MvC. All killer, no filler.
Xmen COTA 2
RE Engine
Akuma as a guest character
Danger Room Battle hub
World Tour mode with the Xavier Academy
Modern control.
I would buy that on every single system. Not only that, but COTA is probably the marvel game thats the closest to a SF game.
Its never gonna happen but a man can dream lol

yeah, I like the MvC games, but this sounds like something I'd like a hell of a lot more
honestly the game GTOAkira just dreamt up sounds amazing lol
will never forgive you because i will think about this for the rest of my life
As long as Anita is back.
Would be fun if they did that before a new MVC to build up assets
Yep.
1 vs 1 fighters just don't do it for me anymore.
Smash is the sole exception but that's not a traditional fighter.
I remember really hoping Final Fight 2 & 3 would come out on SNES NSO, Capcom were already on board so should be any day now!
This was in 2019. :(

They legally can't, Sony has exclusive rights to X-Men specific games until 2035.
There is an actual sudden death mode in X-Men COTA lol (At 16:50)

It's kind of interesting they can get away with rereleasing CotA just because it's part of a Marvel package even though it's a pure X-Men game.

I recall seeing it mentioned that it excluded "certain games" from the 90s. I thought it was a curious stipulation that could have left the door open for CoTA or the Konami game re-releases, but didn't think it was likely at the time.
IMO this is probably the best option to maximize an expensive license. Big budget Marvel only fighting game that has 1v1 and 2v2 modes. Year one dlc: Ryu guest character. Teasing/making reference to MvC while not fully committing.
I think they have to build the brand again if they want the vs series to hit the next level. I wouldn't be surprised if they shifted strictly to Marvel vs Street Fighter for max name recognition.
Entirely speculation btw
Why would they need to build the brand again? This collection will do that for them
MvC is the brand.
Not Marvel vs. Marvel. Not Capcom vs. Capcom. Marvel vs. Capcom is the brand.
MvC is a series that's older than Guilty Gear. Older than Smash. I would personally prefer an all X-Men game, but Marvel and Capcom don't get together and not have Cyclops give Ryu atomic dap.
Yeah the brand doesn't really need to be rebuilt. People know about the franchise and there's still plenty of demand for a new one.
Infinite had a ton of self-inflicted injuries. The absurdly small budget did absolutely no favors. The artstyle was absolutely terrible and often looked more like an alpha build than a finished product. Marvel's ridiculous "no X-Men/Fantastic Four" policy plus other creative misfires completely destroyed the the identity of the title and made it a hollow husk of what a MvC game should be.
If a new MvC is announced and actually looks good, people will show up in droves. But the game actually needs budget, time, and the return of fan favorites and it's identity if that's gonna work.

I wonder what art style they might go with. I think the smart play world be to go full X-Men 97 with it.
Cyclops embracing Ryu like he's his long-lost brother and with the cockiest grin in the world. Beautiful.
We don't know Ryu's last name. And we find out Scott has a new brother every few years. He might be Ryu Summers.
The World Warriors may as well be Mutants given the weird stuff they do. I'm surprised we didn't get superhero codenames for them back when X-Men vs. Street Fighter was a thing.
This showed up on my YouTube feed and I was surprised to see that they were talking about it - nothing too crazy (just a rehash of info we already know) but they do consider Capcom "long term" partners for what it's worth.
