Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection was a nominee for fighting game of the year for the 2024 game awards. This is even with the fact that it is ostensibly a re-release of classic arcade games in a bundle.

That said, it is still a title that can and has made money for Capcom as evidenced by the Circana sales chart which showed various games and how they have fared sales-wise. According to Mat Piscatella, a gaming industry analyst, MvC Fighting Collection is in the top 20 best-selling games of November 2024 in the USA. This is a huge leap for MvC which initially debuted at number 16 when it initially released in September. But it suffered a major slump in October falling to 87th place before jumping up more than 60 spots to make it into the top 20 for the month of November.

It would seem this is in direct relation to the release of physical copies of the game which fans would have wanted to cop for the sake of nostalgia.

Also on the list was Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero! which is in the number 4 spot with a healthy outlook on life in the future. The game which has had its fair share of controversy on the tournament front, seems to be a perfectly lovely game for casual players who only look to enjoy the game alone or with friends.

It'll be interesting to see how the December charts stack up.
