Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection Release Update

The recent Nintendo Direct announcement has exciting news for fans of the Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection. This well-anticipated video game will be available in both digital and physical formats on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. However, Xbox users are set for disappointment as there are no current plans to release the game on any Xbox platform, including the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.


Initially, there was some uncertainty regarding the availability of a physical edition for the Nintendo Switch. This was resolved when Ethan Gach of Kotaku communicated with Capcom PR, who confirmed the release strategy. "Capcom PR just confirmed to me that Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection will get a physical release on Switch as well as PS4," Gach clarified via Twitter.


Unfortunately, Capcom has not provided any further updates concerning any possible future releases on Xbox consoles. This news will certainly be a disappointment for Xbox gaming enthusiasts who were looking forward to this title.

Marvel vs. Capcom Clashes Again But Skips Xbox

Alright, gamers and comic book enthusiasts, it's time to rev up your consoles and PCs—or at least, most of them. The latest scoop from the recent Nintendo Direct has revealed something super exciting for the fighting game universe—Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection is getting a snazzy physical version for both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. But before you Xbox owners throw your controllers out the window in frustration, let's dive a little deeper into what this means for all of us.


First things first, the confirmation of this release comes as both relief and a bit of a surprise. Histor orgasms attending the Nintendo Direct and those who are always refreshing Twitter for the latest gaming news, probably felt a mix of emotions. The absence of an Xbox version does sting, but hey, at least PC gamers via Steam aren't left in the dark!


Props to Ethan Gach from Kotaku for chasing down the story with Capcom PR, because without his diligence, Switch owners might still be biting their nails. According to Gach's tweet,


What's the deal with Xbox, though? It's rather curious and somewhat disappointing that the Xbox consoles are missing out on this release. This exclusion raises eyebrows and questions about Capcom's strategy. Is it a technical issue? Maybe a strategic marketing angle? Or perhaps there's something else at play. But for now, Xbox owners might just have to live vicariously through their PlayStation and Switch buddies or cling to hope for a late surprise announcement.


Whatever the case, the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection promises to be another thrilling addition to the franchise, and I, for one, can't wait to see the epic battles unfold. So, ready your favorite fighters—be they heroes or Capcom icons—and let's get ready to rumble (unless, of course, you're on Xbox). For now, let's put down the pitchforks and celebrate that Capcom continues to energize the franchise, even if it's not quite universal yet.
