Marvel vs. Capcom’s classic titles finally returned in official form a decade after Marvel vs. Capcom Origins and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 were pulled down and delisted, but the real dream remains hoping for a brand new entry in the franchise.
Capcom just dropped an official new player survey for the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection with the apparent purpose of helping them develop “future titles.”
This particular “Product Evaluation Survey” is different than their previous one from September with a new round of questions and responses.
Capcom says this questionnaire should be completed only by those who’ve played and purchased the MvC collection with most of the prompts asking about your ratings and satisfaction for the product in a number of areas.
There’s some other pieces of interest about this survey, however, with the company stating these responses may help “inform the development of future titles.”

It’s obviously not said what those future titles may be, but you may actually have a bit of sway over that.
The middle of the survey also offers players an open prompt asking them what they’d like Capcom to do now.
“Is there any feedback you would like to give Capcom after playing the game? Please let us know if there is something you would like more of, or if there is something you would like us to do next. You can tell us anything!”
So that is probably going to be a spot where fans are going to put their request for things like Marvel vs. Capcom 4, Capcom vs. SNK 3 and specific Street Fighter 6 DLC character wishes, but you could technically write anything in (though that doesn’t mean it’ll end up happening of course).
The rest of the survey doesn’t really give indications that it’s meant to help gauge audience interests and wants for a new Marvel vs. Capcom specifically either.
Most of the questions are asking about topics like where and how soon you purchased the collection as well as which games you’ve played on it and how likely you are to recommend it to friends.
There’s also multiple questions regarding in-game menus, readability, sound and music featured in the compilation of arcade titles.
Those latter options are making us think these survey responses could have a more immediate impact on the upcoming Capcom Fighting Collection 2 featuring Capcom vs. SNK titles as well as Power Stone, Rival Schools and more.
So if there’s anything you’d like to see improved with how Capcom handles their fighting game collections after MvC (perhaps something like crossplay), now would be the time to tell them about it.
This also comes after Capcom stated they are “focusing on reactivating dormant IPs” following last week’s reveals of new Onimusha and Okami titles, so it’ll be very interesting to see what exactly comes out of this approach in the near-ish future.
A brand new Darkstalkers or Rival Schools may be too far outside the realm of possibilities still, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to ask.
The Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection launched to largely positive reviews back in September, and player sentiment seems to have mostly followed suit as well.
This was backed up by the MvC release showing up on the top game sales ranks in the United States and on PlayStation for the month though Capcom hasn’t provided any numbers as to how the title is performing.
Capcom did say, however, the Marvel collection is selling exactly within their projections.
Completing this survey will land you the same reward as the last one, which is just some official wallpapers of the Marvel Fighting Collection key art for phones and computers.
