Get ready to chalk up another win for the classics, fight fans! In a move that surprises absolutely no one who’s ever shouted “IT’S MAHVEL BAYBEE!” at a friend, Capcom has announced that the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics has officially sold over one million units worldwide.

The news dropped just after the collection’s one-year anniversary, proving that the demand for pristine ports of these arcade legends is stronger than ever. This collection was a love letter to the genre, bundling seven iconic titles and giving them the modern features they deserved.

For anyone who’s been living under a Shadaloo base, this set is the definitive package. We’re talking the frantic, screen-filling insanity of X-MEN VS. STREET FIGHTER and the legendary, fan-demanded MARVEL vs. CAPCOM 2. It even includes the ultra-rare arcade beat ‘em up, THE PUNISHER.

But this wasn’t just a simple ROM dump. Capcom packed this collection with features that made it essential:

• Rollback Netcode: The online play is buttery smooth, making ranked matches, casual bouts, and lobby shenanigans with friends actually playable. No more blaming lag for that loss—it’s all on you now.
• Beginner-Friendly Tools: One-Button Specials and savestates act as a cheat code for fun, letting newcomers experience the hype without the quarter-munching difficulty of the arcade era.
• A Digital Museum: With over 500 pieces of artwork and never-before-seen development docs, this is a history lesson in hype. The music player, featuring over 200 tracks, is worth the price of admission alone.

This milestone is a massive victory for preservation and for fan demand. It sends a clear message: we want these games, and we want them done right. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have a date with some ranked matches.

The Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection is available now on Nintendo Switch.
