According to a recent leak, it seems that the highly anticipated Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection will be hitting shelves in just a few months. Thanks to a listing on the UK online retailer ShopTo, the exact release date was revealed before being quickly taken down. However, evidence of the November 22 launch date can still be found on social media, causing quite a stir among fans.
The collection, which features six classic arcade games, was first announced in June during a Nintendo Direct. However, no official release date had been announced until now. It seems that publisher Capcom will be skipping the Xbox platform for this release due to difficulties in porting their games to the Xbox Series X/S.
But fear not, Xbox fans. There are rumors that Microsoft is working on a fix to allow for Capcom's older games to be played on their platform. This could potentially lead to an Xbox version of Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection being released in the future. Fans are eagerly anticipating this release not only for the games themselves, but also because it marks the return of the Marvel license to Capcom.
While some may hope that this means a new Marvel vs Capcom game is in the works, it's not confirmed and Capcom may only have the license to re-release existing games. However, there have been hints of a new VS. fighter being developed, possibly in collaboration with Sega or SNK.
In the meantime, fans can look forward to playing classic fighting games such as X-Men: Children Of The Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: New Age Of Heroes, as well as the scrolling beat 'em-up, The Punisher. The collection will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC.
In other news, former PlayStation boss, Shawn Layden, recently responded to Xbox's Phil Spencer's comment about the PlayStation platform being "slimy." Spencer has also admitted that Xbox is working on a handheld device and will be releasing more multi-format games in the future. Meanwhile, the Resident Evil series has reached a milestone of 160 million total sales, with the highly anticipated Resident Evil 4 remake surpassing the sales of Resident Evil Village.
