NEWS: Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Games Get Collection for Switch, PS4, PC

Low-key one of the best announcements at the Direct.

Too bad about no Xbox version, I guess.

Perfect companion piece for X-Men '97.

Was a bit of a jaw-dropper of an announcement out of the blue. This legitimately opens up the possibility of specifically Disney getting a fire lit under their arse to maybe push for a proper Marvel 4 to start happening. I hope it does well.

It’s more than likely we’ll be get a MVC 4/5 (if we count Infinite) and/or Disney gives Capcom the right to be one of the sole developers to create any Marvel games of any kind. This really gives me hope.

If it'll be anything like Infinite then no thanks. I imagine there's too many mandates these days to do a proper Marvel VS Capcom game. I'm surprised the old ones are even being acknowledged since their depictions of the Marvel characters aren't in-line with what they want the characters to be in the modern age.

Visually or writing wise?

Cause I’m pretty sure Marvel doesn’t care about most of their characters being in their 90’s era/outfits whereas the character writing isn’t to divorced from how the characters are traditionally written in the comics even if it is on the shallow side of things.

You say that but X-Men 97 changed a lot of stuff from the 90s series to be more in line with the modern depictions of the characters even if it wasn't consistent with what was in the original series.

All I can really think of in these games are stuff like this was before Iceman was retconned into being gay, before Psylocke was retconned into not being Betsy, and Nick Fury being white.

But for all we know they could make some changes to this collection like they did in the Capcom Fighting Collection where they censored some sexual Morrigan stuff and changed some Hong Kong flags to release the game in China. Guess we'll have to wait a see how this collection is.
