Limited Run Games, in collaboration with Marvel Games and Konami, has announced MARVEL MaXimum Collection. The collection features 6 classic titles from the Arcade, 8-bit, and 16-bit consoles. MARVEL MaXimum Collection will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
MARVEL MaXimum Collection features:
X-Men: The Arcade Game (Arcade). This is the definitive mutant beat-’em-up. It features full online multiplayer support for up to six players.
In Captain America and the Avengers (Arcade, Sega, Genesis/Mega Drive, NES), players take control of Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Vision and get to choose between the cinematic arcade original or the unique platforming spin on the NES.
Silver Surfer (NES) is one of the most infamously challenging shooters and features one of the greatest soundtracks in 8-Bit history.
Spider-Man/Venom: Maximum Carnage (Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive) is based on the iconic comic crossover. Players will take to the streets of NYC battling hordes of nefarious bad guys, all to the sound of a rockin’ 16-bit soundtrack. Players can switch between the rich color palette of the Super Nintendo version or dive in and enjoy the gritty vibe of the Genesis/Mega Drive version.
Venom/Spider-Man: Seperation Anxiety (Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Mega Drive) is the superlative symbiote sequel to Maximum Carnage. Players can go solo or team up in two-player co-op to take on the Life Foundation and Carnage’s offspring.
Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge (Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Game Boy, Game Gear) lets players navigate Arcade’s deadly “Murderworld.” The collection includes the handheld versions of the game.
In addition, MARVEL MaXimum Collection will also add a host of features designed to scratch the itch of modern gamers and collectors alike. These include:
- Archives: Dive into a digital archive featuring high-resolution scans of original box art, instruction manuals, and vintage advertisements.
- Music Player: Kick back and listen to the iconic chip-tune scores from every version of every game in the collection.
- Rewind & Save States: Finally conquer the “Deadly Walls” of Silver Surfer or the boss gauntlets of Arcade’s Revenge with the ability to rewind gameplay and save anywhere.
- Display Options: Play with crisp, modern pixels or recreate the Saturday morning experience with CRT and scanline filters.
