New Marvel vs. Capcom Collection seems to be skipping Xbox. Coming to every other platform.

    1. Just mentions PS4. I know PS4 plays on PS5, but why not just make it a current gen game with better graphics. I love these games but this just sounds like it’s a cash grab with little to no updates to the original games.

    2. No one would be playing this online on Xbox anyway unless it came to Game Pass.

      Brrooooo I’ve been waiting so long for this! I’m excited to play MvC2 without glitchy sprites! Disappointed this isn’t coming to Xbox because I wanted to use my MvC fight stick 😭

      Honestly I was never gonna buy this and I really doubt other Xbox users would. Hell, the majority of PS and Switch owners won’t exactly drool over this and only a minority will buy it, albeit a sufficient minority for the game’s success.

      However, if this was Marvel vs Capcom 3, then the discussion would’ve been veeery different.

    5. Im not surprised after Mega Man Battle Network did too.

      “It wouldnt sell on Xbox”

      Maybe, but it cant be expensive to port some emulators and it just sucks to be one of the people who would have bought Mega Man and this new collection on Xbox.

      And what is even more stupid is people defending this instead of helping Xbox only players to get those ports too. But who cares about others right? As long as I get what I want.

      I own all consoles but my main library is on Xbox. So I could still buy it but some people cant.

    6. I’ve been waiting for a port of MVC2 for sooooo long and when it finally comes it fucking skips xbox????? I could play it on Switch but honestly I have no desire to.

      Whatever.

      Im convinced xbox is black balled in japan. Right after release “we couldn’t his our goals”. Wth is happening?

    8. how strange because this 2,3 and infinite were on Xbox but not this collection

    9. Could they make the Xbox 360 Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Version at least backward compatible? I enjoyed the 16:9 Aspect ratio on that.

      This is awful.

      Which is so weird. The other Capcom collection announced on the presentation (Ace Attorney Investigations) is coming to Xbox, so they are clearly not against putting their games on the console. Then why is MvC not coming? I know I’m in a minority here, but I would buy it in a heartbeat and there are bound to be a few thousand other people like me. Now we won’t have the chance to do this. Such a shame

    11. You know, when this collection fails to meet sales expectations, I hope everyone remembers Capcom made the choice to skip the Xbox.

      Square Enix learned this lesson recently and now Capcom will have to learn it as well

      Skipping two platforms(Xbox One and Series family) with millions of players is a horrible business decision and cuts you out of potential sales.

    12. So weird since street fighter 6 and resident evil/monster Hunter have been coming to Xbox. Probably won’t ever be picking this collection up on another platform even though it would be nice to have the roms

    13. Capcom holding out for the gamepass check again, probably gonna cost us a year or two 😔.

      So silly how these things considering Capcom’s *path of the goddess* is dropping day one on gamepass in 3 weeks and an ip folks have begged for a half a decade for skips the platform entirety makes 0 sense but whatever.

      I own a switch but I’ll wait

    14. This is the one capcom collection I don’t understand how it didn’t come to Xbox. We got the other fighter collection, but then we dont get megaman battle network? Phoenix Wright collection did bad, i get that, but we get the sequel slightly more niche collection?

    15. I mainly play my fighting games on Xbox. I own a PS5 as well, but I would much rather play this on my Xbox. Kind of sucks because I will more than likely buy on PS5 now, and if it comes to Xbox later I won’t buy it.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if they Skipped Next Resident Evil on Xbox.
      Its like the majority of Asian companies don’t want anything to do with Xbox.

      They still see it as the black sheep of the gaming industry…
      How hard is it to port this collection over to the Xbox?

      This felt like a huge gut punch. I’ve waited MvC2 to have a proper release for so long now. Then I see this trailer and get excited, this collection is everything I’ve wanted for a long time. I’ve enjoyed the other Capcom collections too, so this seemed like a no brainer.

      Microsoft had better come up with some reasons to stick with Xbox because I’m not sure what those reasons are anymore. We’re constantly either getting leftovers or fuck-all while other platforms are getting what’s left of Xbox exclusives. Why wouldn’t everyone just go for a PS5 or Switch if they wanted a console? Oh right they are.

    18. It’s a shame, I want to see this sell as many copies as possible and I know some of my Xbox friends want this. Can’t blame this one on Series S lol.

      Yet there are rompers that Phil wants to hand over our best flagship titles to Sony. Why give them anything if they won’t give us anything? Stuff like that is a slap in the face to Xbox gamers. I hope we keep our exclusives for this reason, otherwise I should have just gotten a playstation.

      The post says, PS4, Switch and PC. No Xbox (any version) or PS5 – is it possible there’s a next generation version coming down the pipe?

    21. SlipperyThong on

      I have a Switch, but I play all my fighting games on Xbox with my arcade stick. It’s an absolute gut punch it’s not coming to Xbox, especially considering Ace Attorney Investigations was announced for Xbox.

    22. Xbox doesn’t want fighting games. They ban unlicensed controller devices and guess what the majority of fighting game players use?
