Capcom wants to revive all its old fighting games on modern platforms

Capcom wants to revive all of its traditional fighting games on modern platforms, according to Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Producer Shuhei Matsumoto.

Speaking to IGN at the recent EVO 2024, Matsumoto explained that Capcom is aware of this need and hopes that making these classic fighting games more accessible to new audiences can lead to “bigger and better things” in the future:

“We have a lot of other traditional fighting games that we know fans really want to see re-released on modern platforms and it feels the same on the development side, we want people to know all these other classics. What we can do right now is try to re-release them so that people who haven’t had a chance to play them can get familiar with them and from there hopefully we can move on to bigger and better things.”

In a separate question asking about the possibility of re-releasing a game like Street Fighter III: Third Strike (once again), Matsumoto reaffirmed that the group would “definitely” continue re-releasing:

“We want all of our classics [fighting] The game is available for modern consoles because we just want to be able to reach a lot of people who have never had the opportunity to play these games before, so we’re constantly thinking about the future and want to make sure the game is accessible to everyone.”
