Limited Run Games Announces Collection Of Classic Marvel Arcade Games
Limited Run Games and Konami have revealed Marvel Maximum Collection, a game that bundles six classic Marvel 8- and 16-bit arcade games into one package. The bundle includes several fan-favorites across arcade, Sega Genesis, NES, and Super Nintendo.
Marvel Maximum Collection includes the beloved X-Men Arcade Game, the two-player Spider-Man/Venom games, and even the infamously difficult Silver Surfer. Here’s the full list of games, as well as the various versions of each that will be available:
- X-Men: The Arcade Game (Arcade)
- Captain America and The Avengers (Arcade, Sega Genesis, NES)
- Spider-Man/Venom: Maximum Carnage (Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis)
- Spider-Man/Venom: Separation Anxiety (Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis)
- Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge (Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Game Boy, Game Gear)
- Silver Surfer (NES)
Although some of these titles are co-op brawlers, Limited Run only confirms that X-Men: The Arcade Game supports 6-player online co-op with rollback netcode. Each game in the Marvel Maximum Collection will also include save states and the ability to rewind. The collection also features various display options to make the games look better on modern displays or to replicate the classic CRT look. A music player will let players enjoy the soundtracks from each title, and a digital archive features high-resolution scans of original box arts, instruction manuals, and original advertisements.
Marvel Maximum Collection is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC via Steam. Unfortunately, Limited Run Games did not provide a release window, only stating the game is “coming soon.” In the meantime, you can check out our review of the most recent Marvel arcade beat ’em up, Marvel Cosmic Invasion.
