“Garbage Move”: Marvel vs. Capcom Fans Express Disappointment After Learning New Fighting Collection Isn’t Coming to Xbox

MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, a new collection that bundles seven of Capcom’s classic arcade 2D fighters, including X-MEN VS. STREET FIGHTER, MARVEL vs. CAPCOM 2: New Age of Heroes, and more, was announced during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct showcase, but some players aren’t happy, as the new game is skipping Xbox and won’t be launching on any of Microsoft’s consoles. The game will be released for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam in 2024, according to an announcement trailer.

Platforms:

• PC (via Steam)
• PlayStation 4
• Nintendo Switch

Nintendo on Capcom’s latest collection:

• “Seven beloved arcade classics, including X-MEN VS. STREET FIGHTER, MARVEL vs. CAPCOM 2 New Age of Heroes and more, are back to duke it out on Nintendo Switch!”
• “This collection features iconic characters and moves, along with added features and enhancements like online functionality, training modes, custom matches, spectator features, museum, a music player, display filters and one-button special moves, just to name a few!”
• “Also included is the first ever U.S. re-release of the arcade version of the beat-’em-up game THE PUNISHER!” “MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics comes out swinging on Nintendo Switch this year.”

Since the birth of the Xbox, every Marvel vs Capcom game has been released on Xbox.
I think Xbox deserves MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics.
Capcom's decision to exclude Xbox makes no sense at all. https://t.co/UGgLXg2ME6 pic.twitter.com/BbTVuw94Av
