Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics interview origins

Last month’s Nintendo Direct featured a few surprise announcements, including a big one for the fighting game community – that being Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics. That package comes with Marvel vs. Capcom 2, which came as a shock to many.

Shuhei Matsumoto, the collection’s producer, recently spoke about how it all came to be. It turns out that there’s long been interest on Capcom’s side, and the company was “in talks with Marvel for years now to see whether we can make this happen.” Marvel seemed to general interest and fans wanting to see its classic games on modern hardware.

These days, it feels like anything has a chance of returning. Looking at Nintendo specifically, the company just recently announced Emio: The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club, which is the series’ first new game in three decades. Mario & Luigi is also making a comeback after nearly a decade (again we’re talking new here), and this is after many thought the franchise could be dead since developer AlphaDream shuttered. We’ve seen other examples as well such as Kid Icarus: Uprising on 3DS, which followed Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters on Game Boy way back in 1991.

Nintendo has plenty of series it could return to. There are more obscure names like Ice Climber and StarTropics, but things have even been quiet for others such as Donkey Kong Country (though we’re at least getting Returns HD at the start of next year) and Star Fox.

What are your thoughts here? Is there a certain Nintendo game or franchise you’d like to see return? Let us know in the comments.
