Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics first launched back in September, but the MvC fun does not stop there. You see, the game only released in digital form a couple of months ago, and tomorrow fans will be able to pick up a physical copy of the highly renowned compilation of classic fighting games as well.
Yes, Marvel vs. Capcom fans are particularly excited about this release as securing a physical version means no company can ever take away your copy of legendary titles such as Marvel vs. Capcom 2 ever again. Those who pre-ordered the physical edition are receiving a special comic book as a bonus, and the series’ official Twitter account released a slick new animation for this comic book to honor it and the game’s release tomorrow.
Just yesterday we got our first glimpse at the insides of this special Marvel vs. Capcom-themed comic book. Capcom officially shared a handful of images featuring preview panels from the comic that showcase the likes of Ryu, Wolverine, Captain America, Psylocke, Mega Man, Dr. Doom, and more all slugging it out in a heated battle.
The company followed that up today with another tweet this time including a video that essentially animates some of the scenes from the comic book itself.
“When two worlds collide, their heroes must work together to face a hidden threat. ” wrote the official Marvel vs. Capcom Twitter account. “The physical version of #MvCFightingCollection comes out tomorrow on November 22!”
The animation sees Ryu firing off a Shoryuken and Captain America blocking it with his shield, Ruby Heart and Wolverine clashing, and even Iron Man and Morrigan firing lasers at each other. This comic book’s cover was illustrated by Marvel artist Todd Nauck and will contain 32 pages in total.

This special comic book is an exclusive item for those who pre-ordered the physical copies of the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection on PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch. The PC version, naturally, is staying as a digital download only, and Xbox won’t be seeing the release of the game until 2025 where it’s not confirmed just yet if we’ll be seeing strictly digital or a physical release as well.
