Marvel MaXimum Collection Announced For PC & Consoles

The Marvel MaXimum Collection will bring multiple '80s and '90s Marvel video games together in one library later this year

Marvel Games announced today that they are working with Konami, Limited Run Games, and Carbon Engine to release the Marvel MaXimum Collection. This is a trip down memory lane for '80s and '90s gamers as they have put together a collection of titles featuring the X-Men, Spider-Man, Captain America, The Avengers, and more. The big one on the list is the six-player X-Men: The Arcade Game, which has rarely made an appearance beyond the cabinet.

The trailer boasts that it lets you "revisit Marvel's 8-bit and 16-bit past," but it isn't a complete collection, as LJN, Acclaim, SEGA, and other titles are not included. Could they be? There's still time, as there's no confirmed launch date for the game yet, and a lot of those titles are from companies that would probably be easy to work with when it comes to the rights. (Because if they're going to have the NES Silver Surfer game on here, we need the The Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine NES titles, too! Not to mention X-Men for the Game Gear.) Enjoy the info and trailer here as we wait on a launch date.
