Retro gaming continues to dominate the spotlight, and this time it’s Marvel fans who have a reason to celebrate. A brand-new compilation is bringing back some of the most beloved superhero titles from the past, all in one package.
According to an official announcement from Marvel Games, the MARVEL MaXimum Collection will feature 13 iconic titles, carefully preserved across their original console and handheld versions. The lineup includes fan favorites such as X-Men: The Arcade Game and Maximum Carnage, alongside several other classic entries from Marvel’s gaming history.
The collection aims to celebrate the golden era of licensed superhero games, a time when side-scrolling beat ‘em ups and 16-bit action titles dominated arcades and living rooms alike. By preserving both console and handheld counterparts, the compilation appears to focus on authenticity, allowing players to experience each version as it originally launched.
While full platform details and release timing have yet to be revealed, the announcement suggests this will be more than a simple port collection. The emphasis on preservation hints at potential quality-of-life improvements, emulation enhancements, or bonus archival content; features that have become increasingly common in modern retro compilations.
With nostalgia-driven releases performing strongly in today’s market, MARVEL MaXimum Collection could appeal to both longtime fans and newer players curious about Marvel’s gaming legacy before the era of cinematic universes and live-service titles.
