An exact release date hasn't bee unveiled, but the cabinet will be available «a few weeks» after the preorder date.

While Arcade1Up has released cabinets themed around beloved classic fighting games in the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat series, as well as the first Marvel vs. Capcom, the upcoming cabinet is arguably the most exciting yet. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is widely praised as one of the best fighting games of all time, especially in the competitive fighting game scene.

Even though more than two decades have passed since its initial launch, people still play Marvel vs. Capcom 2 competitively. Though it won't be at this weekend's Evo 2022 tournament, it was a longtime fixture at the event, appearing in the lineup for nine straight years starting with Evo's inaugural tournament in 2002.

The Marvel vs. Capcom 2 competitive scene may even see a spike in interest due to the new cabinet and its support of Wi-Fi multiplayer. You can also play against a friend in local multiplayer, as there are two sets of sticks and buttons on the control panel. The cabinet will include the full lineup of 56 fighters.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is undoubtedly the most exciting aspect of the new cabinet, but as usual, the cabinet will be pre-loaded with a bunch of other games. Including Marvel vs. Capcom 2, the lineup features eight games, all eight of which support worldwide online multiplayer:
