At Evo 2024, Capcom presented three of the seven games included in Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, a complete bundle featuring six fundamental games from the beloved Versus series. This collection includes Marvel vs Capcom 2, widely regarded as one of the greatest fighting games of all time. During the event, IGN had the opportunity to interview Capcom producer Shuhei Matsumoto, who shared insights into the company's commitment to the Versus series and the lengthy journey to bring this collection to life.

Matsumoto revealed that the collection has been in development for about three to four years, highlighting the dedication and effort required to make this project a reality.

However, the collaboration has been very positive, with both companies motivated to bring these classic games to modern audiences. "We've been planning for about three, four years to make this project a reality," Matsumoto said. This dedication showcases Capcom's commitment to its fans and the enduring legacy of the Versus series.
