Marvel vs. Capcom Origins brings video game fight fans back to the ‘90s arcades beginning with the September 25th North American launch on PlayStation Network for PS3. The fight begins the next day, September 26th, on Xbox Live Arcade. Price point: $14.99/1200 MS Points.

In case anyone out there forgot, Marvel vs. Capcom Origins is a retro combo pack containing arcade-authentic ports of Marvel Super Heroes and Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes. A month from now, you’ll be able to fight it out locally against a second player or online in 8-player lobbies (with spectator mode and replay saves).

As pictured in the screenshot above and the full gallery below, the game will additionally provide multiple graphics/presentation options, including HD-smoothed widescreen and a variety of arcade cabinet views. Yes, that is a playable over-the-shoulder perspective you’re looking at. Pretty sweet!

90’s arcade fighting game favorites Marvel Super Heroes and Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes are joining forces for a digital download tag-team compilation on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade this September for $14.99/1200 MS Points.

Marvel vs. Capcom Origins, as the collection has been dubbed, will bring new features to these two retro fighters, including online play powered by GGPO net code, 8-player lobbies, spectator mode, replay saves, in-game rewards and unlockables, dynamic challenges and, of course, HD face-lifted graphics.

With the game being digital download, at least we should (hopefully) be safe from an ‘Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom Origins Super Duper This is the Version That Should Have Been Released in the First Place Edition’ six months later. Bummer, I guess that means I won’t be using the acronym UMVCOSDTVTSHBRFPE again any time soon.
