Fans were ecstatic when Capcom announced its upcoming Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics for Nintendo Switch. The company also recently released SNK Vs Capcom SVC Chaos. There’s a wealth of retro Capcom fighters out and about these days, but apparently the company isn’t content with resting on its laurels, as there are hopes to get even more into the hands of gamers the world over.
Speaking to IGN (which you can see in the above video), producer Shuhei Matsumoto stated that his team at Capcom would love to get all of its legacy fighting games onto contemporary gaming platforms:
We have a lot of other legacy fighting games that we know fans out there really want them to be re-released again on modern platforms and the feeling is mutual on the development side, we want people to get to know all these other classic games. What we can do right now is try to re-release them and so people who may have never had the chance to play those games get familiarized with them and from there hopefully we can go on to bigger and better things.
We want all our classic [fighting] games to be available for modern consoles because we just want to be able to reach as many people who may have never had the opportunity to play these games back in the day, so we constantly think forward, and we want to make sure that it’s as accessible as possible for all audiences.
This is good news for retro gaming enthusiasts and game preservation as a whole. As time passes and these games grow older, converting them onto modern consoles means that more people will be able to continue to enjoy and learn from them. Here’s hoping Capcom continues to churn out its classics.
