Set for release on Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox, and PC, this collection features 13 titles adapted from SNES, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Game Boy, and Game Gear platforms. While it includes fan-favorite games like *Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge* and *X-Men: The Arcade Game*, many gamers are already debating what’s missing from the lineup, with popular requests including Capcom's *War of the Gems* and *Mutant Apocalypse*.
