Collector interest

PS1 port of the legendary Capcom crossover, renamed EX Edition because the console could not run the arcade's simultaneous two-character tag: Capcom reworked the system, making this a historically distinct version. Kept exclusive to Japan, it strongly appeals to Capcom versus-fighting collectors, both for its well-documented compromised-port status and for the lasting standing of the Marvel versus Street Fighter rivalry.

Is X-Men vs. Street Fighter - EX Edition still worth playing in 2026?

A port of Capcom's fighting game, X-Men vs. Street Fighter introduces the two character tag battle system with switching, where the Marvel and Street Fighter rosters collide in a deluge of aerial combos and spectacular super attacks. The madness of the gameplay, the gorgeous sprites and the energy of the whole make it a joyful versus and a founder of the crossover versus genre. The PlayStation limits the tag battles, unlike the cabinet. A great brawler for fans of snappy 2D versus and Capcom crossovers.
