Earlier this week during Nintendo’s latest Direct livestream, Capcom shocked the fighting game world with the surprise reveal of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, an unprecedented collection of seven iconic crossover games between the comics and video games publishers—including one of the most beloved fighting games of all time, Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
Capcom 2, which has high-res versions of the character illustrations for all 56 Marvel and Capcom characters in the roster by the legendary Japanese artist Bengus. A longtime collaborator with Capcom, Bengus’ illustrations across generations of games are iconic, but his work on Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is forever beloved, for good reason.
