It’sMarvel, baby!
Yes,Marvel Vs. Capcom 2has been freed. Arcade cabinet producer Arcade1Up has revealed aMarvel Vs. Capcom 2arcade cabinet, packing the 3-on-3 fighter and many otherMarvelarcade classics into one cab.
The cabinet includes eight games, and has built-in Wi-Fi. So not only isMarvel Vs. Capcom 2back and playable in its first legit form since the Xbox 360 version, it will also have online play. The cab will also have exclusive side panel art, a matching custom riser, and a light-up marquee.
AlongsideMarvel, there are seven other games packed into the cabinet as well. Here’s the lineup:

It’s a pretty solid lineup, in my opinion. No price point has been revealed yet, butpre-orders will start on September 8and will, according to Arcade1Up, ship just a few weeks after.

Gonna take you for a ride
While Arcade1Up has released aMarvel Vs. Capcomcab before, it wasa five-game cabinetwith the first game as its marquee title. And while I do enjoy the original,Marvel Vs. Capcom 2is the game thatgarnered a legacy all its own.
This lineup essentially combines the two previous Marvel x Capcom crossover cabs into one, withMarvel Vs. Capcom 2at the top. It’s a trip down memory lane, and a pretty darn good collection of Marvel’s arcade history. Alongside the team-up fighters, there’s also theChildren of the AtomandMutant Apocalypse, for when a more mutant-focused venture strikes your fancy.
One can only hope this is a sign thatMarvel Vs. Capcom 2could see some new ports to modern platforms as well. Otherwise, the Arcade1Up cab opens for pre-orders on September 8.
