Arcade1Up has revealed a Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and fans won’t have to wait long to get their hands on it. The cabinet Marvel vs. Arcade1Up’s Capcom 2 will be released this fall, and you can sign up now to receive notifications about pre-orders.
While Arcade1Up has released cabinets themed around beloved classic fighting games from the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat series, as well as the first Marvel vs. Capcom, the upcoming cabinet is possibly the most exciting yet. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is widely praised as one of the best fighting games of all time, especially in the competitive fighting game scene.
Although more than two decades have passed since its initial release, people still play Marvel vs. Capcom 2 competitively. Though he won’t be at this weekend’s Evo 2022 tournament, he was a regular fixture at the event, appearing in the lineup for nine straight years starting with Evo’s inaugural tournament in 2002.
The competitive scene of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 may even see a spike in interest due to the new cabinet and its support for Wi-Fi multiplayer. You can also play against a friend in local multiplayer as there are two sets of sticks and buttons on the control pad. The cabinet will include the full 56-fighter roster.
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is undoubtedly the most exciting aspect of the new cabinet, but as usual, the cabinet will be pre-loaded with plenty of other games. Including Marvel vs. Capcom 2, the lineup features eight games, all eight of which support worldwide online multiplayer:
- Marvel vs. Capcom
- Marvel vs. Capcom 2
- Marvel Superheroes vs. Street Fighter
- X-Men vs. Street Fighter
- marvel superheroes
- X-Men Children of the Atom
- X-Men Mutant Apocalypse
- Marvel superheroes in War of the Gems
The five-foot cabinet features authentic art from Marvel vs. Capcom 2, an illuminated marquee and a 17-inch screen. If you have never purchased an Arcade1Up cabinet, you can be sure that they are very easy to put together and take apart, in case you need to move the cabinet.
This is not the first time Arcade1Up has released a cabinet revolving around the Marvel vs. Capcom, but it is the first to include the iconic Marvel vs. Capcom 2. The first cabinet Marvel vs. Capcom (discontinued) included five games. –Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of the Heroes, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel Super Heroes in the war of gems. So yeah, if you have that one too, you’ll get some of the same games, but if you love Marvel vs. Capcom 2, the other games in the lineup are probably just nice bonuses.
There is also an Arcade1Up Marvel vs. Capcom, which comes with eight games. This one is still available, and right now you can get it for $300 off at Amazon Y Best Buy.
