Any idea why Marvel vs Capcom 3 isn't on here?

Too bad it was censored. Guess we can't protect those "kids" on the internet with such dirty artwork and gameplay. Oh well, Capcom sure is a coward nowadays and can only produce half-baked products (from which most of them are awful remakes.)

@Suketoudara The thing is Nintendo doesn't control which Street Fighter game to be included on NSO. That same game was included for NSO cause it was also included in the Sega Genesis Mini and so it's easier to just put that there. It's likely the Super NES versions of those games would come later but not all at once.

Cool, but as much as it pains me, without crossplay I just can’t buy a fighter on Switch, especially legacy/retro releases: unfortunately the player base is just not there. On the other hand, I’ve bought SF6 on NS2 the minute they announced crossplay and features parity.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant The annoying thing is they put a version of Street Fighter 2 on NSO but... it's the Mega Drive/Genesis version 👎🏻

It's funny how much different sound effects and music can taint the nostalgia you have for games. The sound chips were so distinct back then. I had the same problem when I brought the Switch version of Flashback which used the Amiga version and not the SNES one I grew up with.

@SalvorHardin It's likely Capcom released the MARVEL vs. Capcom Fighting Collection in response to Maximilian Dood's Free MARVEL vs. Capcom 2 campaign and not really about them planning a new entry in the MARVEL vs. Capcom series. If anything the MARVEL vs. Capcom series is as good as done. They could still remastered MARVEL vs. Capcom 3 or Ultimate MARVEL vs. Capcom 3 or the two Super NES games for PS5, Switch 2, and Steam but I doubt they'll make a new entry in the MARVEL vs. Capcom series any time soon. The MARVEL gaming license is now in the hands of Arc System Works and DotEmu so Capcom can't do anything new with those IPs at the moment.

"I'd like a collection with the console versions of Street Fighter instead of the arcade ones. Particularly the SNES versions of Street Fighter 2! Also the Street Fighter EX games have yet to be re-released in a collection."

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥳

To this day, SF2 and SF2Turbo on SNES are really the only versions of that game that I really care to play. the sound is so much better, for one! when I bought the SF collection on switch I was disappointed to find that I missed the experience of playing the various console ports of these games more than I really wanted a direct arcade conversion at home.

People had it wrong when they thought this was collection was about laying the groundwork for a new MVC. What have we seen since then? The new Arc System Works game that’s inspired by MVC, Hasbro and Bandai are putting out figures that are MVC inspired while never crediting Capcom, even Cosmic Invasion is full of obvious MVC nods, seems clear to me that Marvel’s ultimate goal is mining MVC nostalgia while not actually making a new game with Capcom, the collection was basically marketing for all this. Regardless the collection is great and I’m grateful it was able to happen.

@liljmoore In those collections you can turn off secret characters and then pretend that you're in the 90s by unlocking them the normal way. For example in MARVEL vs. Capcom 1, if you turn off secret characters, that means you won't get to pick them easily, instead you had to use the original arcade codes to unlock them. Same thing for the Akuma code in X-Men: Children of the Atom, if you don't want to easily pick him, just turn off the secret characters and then you can use the Akuma code from the PS1 or Sega Saturn to play as him instead.

By doing this you will never get to play as Juggernaut and Magneto cause both had no playable codes in that game. In MARVEL vs. Capcom 2 if you turn secret characters off, you can unlock them one by one by how many times you insert coins into the game. If you turn on Free Play while doing that then you won't be able to unlock them at all. It's really up to you if you want to play those games the old ways or the new ways. For most of us we just had them unlock from the get-go and just get to playing.

@Vyacheslav333 if I recall correctly, you can play Dreamcast versions of some games like MvC2 and Vampire Savior on Fightcade… I may need to double check that. It’s been a while since I’ve used it bc of school and other games

@OwenGamer22 As far as I know. Smash is the only fighting game that still does that.

Tekken, Mortal Kombat and Street fighter have relegated most of their older characters to paid DLC

@IceClimbersMain SVC Chaos, back in July? 🤔
@OwenGamer22 Fightcade is about «arcade-perfect» and competitive multiplayer experience, from what I've heard and seen. I don't care about these things. I rather console ports in most cases. Playable sub-bosses, bosses, console exclusive playable characters, extra single-player modes, arranged soundtrack... Yeah, that's what I'd like to have.
@Chocobo777 Type Lumina is worse than MBAACC in more things. Count in roster, plot, seiyūs cast, characters' design. And, sadly, Type Lumina is an unfinished game, thanks to Nasu himself. F/GO Servants were wasted slots, while Artoria Saber was an expected and boring choice. I've beaten F/sn last year. Shirō Emiya (UBW route), Medusa Rider, Herakles Berserker, Sōichirō Kuzuki, even Shinji Matō himself would be a more interesting and funny pick, lol.

How is it not a real Melty Blood???
Sure they had to remove Sion since type moon decided it would be a prequel to Tsukihime but the game is still very fun. The shield system is really cool and the moon skills have a bunch of uses. Just because it got rid of the moon styles doesn’t mean it’s not a real Melty

Am I the only one who wishes they were like the older releases. Where you have to unlock the characters and not everything is unlocked from the get go?

Especially in Power stone 1 and 2 and MVC2
