At Evo 2024, Capcom presented three of the seven games included in Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, a complete bundle featuring six fundamental games from the beloved Versus series.

During the event, IGN had the opportunity to interview Capcom producer Shuhei Matsumoto, who shared insights into the company's commitment to the Versus series and the lengthy journey to bring this collection to life.

Matsumoto revealed that the collection has been in development for about three to four years, highlighting the dedication and effort required to make this project a reality.
