We didn't expect to see Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics during the latest Nintendo Direct. Seeing the Marvel vs Capcom fighters on modern consoles felt like a pipe dream, and with Marvel vs.
Capcom 2 — one of the greatest fighting games of all time — being part of the bundle, it's a dream collection. With the announcement earlier this week, and the launch of a site dedicated to all seven games in the collection, Capcom has uploaded some stunning high-definition character art for five of the seven games. Huge thanks to SeventhForce for highlighting this on Twitter.
A lot of this art hasn't been widely available up until this point, with Marvel vs. Capcom 2's in particular only being available in low quality, so we've picked some of our favourites to feature here. Don't worry, just because we don't feature a piece of art or character, doesn't mean we don't like it — MvC2 has over 50 characters alone, so we're spoilt for choice.
It's also just cool to see how the art style has changed over the years, with the thinner lines and more muted colours of MvC2 giving the art style a more "mature" comic-book style compared to the thicker lines and brighter colours of the earlier games. The games using high-definition art are X-Men vs. Street Fighter , Marvel Super Heroes vs.
Street Fighter , Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes , Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, and The Punisher .
One of Street Fighter's most-notorious antagonists, Akuma has regul.
