Arcade1Up arcade production company will release an official Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 case. Known for re-releasing retro arcade cabinets featuring arcade classics from fighting games, beat-em-ups and sports titles.
Arcade1Up has worked closely with Capcom to release multiple cabinets, most notably from the Versus series. Such games include X-men Vs Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes and Marvel Vs. Capcom and much more.
The company develops the cabinets to bring the feel of the arcades back to the comfort of their own home. Of course, normal arcade cabinets are huge, old and harder to track down. So to get around the problem, Arcade1Up cabinets are a lot smaller than their original counterparts. They may be too small for some and sell an optional riser to increase the height of most cabinets.
The cabinet will share the iconic design of western cabinets, which people grew up in the arcades. Marvel Vs Capcom 2 won’t be the only game included in the pack either. A total of eight Marvel fighting games developed by Capcom are also part of the cabinet.
The Eight Games include:
- Marvel vs Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes
- Marvel vs Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes
- Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter
- X-Men vs Street Fighter
- Marvel Superheroes
- X-Men: Children of the Atom
- X-Men Mutant Apocalypse
- Marvel Superheroes in War of the Gems
Special Features
Other features include online play for each title, part of the bundle, and leaderboards.
A major advantage of the Marvel Vs Capcom 2 case is its backward compatibility with the other arcade machines with the same titles. A Marvel Vs Capcom case has previously seen a release with all the same titles, with the exception of Marvel Vs Capcom 2, which has The Punisher as its eighth title.
The system works on Wi-Fi, but fans have found a solution with Ethernet adapters to allow the use of Ethernet cables. That’s a better option for people who are serious about playing online.
The buttons and stick will be similar to what many players in the west are familiar with. The standard bat-top stick as opposed to ball tops that many modern arcade sticks use, and the standard in Japan. There are several tutorials online for those who want to customize their cabinets with other parts from different manufacturers.
Is Marvel vs Capcom 2 finally free?
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is a surprise because of how long it’s been since the game’s last release. Previously Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 was available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and even iOS. Unfortunately, due to copyright reasons, Capcom had to remove the title from the online marketplaces.
The game was completely digital, while for Playstation 3 there is a “physical” version, it was a game box with a redeemable code.
The standout features were the widescreen support and online functionality with rollback netcode. Which many prefer than to pull out their Sega Dreamcast or Playstation 2.
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 has become a game with such a legacy, for both casual and competitive fans in the fighting game community. However, due to copyright, many fans missed the time they had with the game.
The price of the Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 case costs $599 and will be available for pre-order on September 9. While the news that a new legal version of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 is now available as many fans have been asking for. Many fans may feel that the price is not worth it.
Arcade1Up does market its cabinets as premium items, a novelty for fans who want to have a cabinet at home. It still leaves fans unhappy without a more accessible and more affordable version on PC or modern consoles.
There are also other free options, the popular software client Fightcade has received major updates that allow fans to play their favorite games online for free. While fans would easily buy a new and modern re-release of their favorite fighting games. Fightcade offers a free alternative to titles such as Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 online, with GGPO rollback grid code.
Hopefully, a new Marvel Vs Capcom title or a modern port of Marvel Vs Capcom 2 may be re-released in the near future.
