One of my all time favorite fighting games. Its a shame the series didn't catch on like it should have. I would love to see the game on GOG, not just so I can play it again, I truly want more people to experience how great it is.
I remember when I was studying at university, there was an arcade near my school with amazing games like Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Street Fighter, Metal Slug, and Rival Schools. It was one of my favorites, and we had epic matches. We had to line up to play and challenge whoever was next. I have great memories of this game, and I would love to show it to my son.

Batman Forever: The Arcade Game
Batman Forever: The Arcade GameBatman Forever: The Arcade Game follows the basic plot of the movie Batman Forever. The Riddler and Two-Face have hatched a plot to steal all of the deep, dark secrets of every citizen in Gotham, and the only people who can stop them are Batman and Robin. Take control of one of the Caped Crusaders and punch and kick your way through level after level thugs. Punching and kicking can be tiresome, so feel free to use any of a number of special weapons, including the Batarang. With all of the action, you'll want to strap on a utility belt and take out the villains yourself.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is a crossover fighting game developed by Capcom in collaboration with Eighting. It is an updated version of Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. The game features characters from both Capcom's video game franchises and comic book series published by Marvel Comics. The game was released in November 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and was featured as a launch title for the PlayStation Vita in 2012. In Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, players select a team of three characters to engage in combat and attempt to knock out their opponents. As an update, the game utilizes largely identical gameplay mechanics to the original. However, both the aerial combat and X-Factor systems, introduced in Fate of Two Worlds, have received adjustments. In addition to gameplay modifications and new playable characters, the game features several aesthetic changes. After the events of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami disrupted the development schedule for downloadable content for Fate of Two Worlds, the additional content was created into a standalone title, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, for a discounted retail price. The game received generally positive reviews upon release; critics praised the expanded character roster and improved online experience, but criticized the lack of new features and game modes.
