Return of original Marvel vs Capcom 2 characters in a new game “always a possibility” says Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection producer

Bring back Ruby Rose or Amingo in any capacity and my soul is yours, Capcom.

With the Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection on the horizon, a whole new generation of players will be able to hop into an official version of some of Capcom’s most beloved games. This includes Marvel vs Capcom 2 which has a wide variety of merits, including a small selection of original characters.

These include SonSon, the granddaughter of a classic Capcom character of the same name, Ruby Rose the pirate, and the much-adored Amingo the humanoid cactus. These characters had their own fanbases back in the hayday of Marvel vs Capcom 2, but according to producer Shuhei Matsumoto, their return isn’t off the cards.

So the door’s being left open, which is nice, but does this mean that you should expect Amingo in the next Street Fighter 6 season pass? It might be worth holding your hopium for a bit. Capcom has a history of giving out such statements, as do a wide range of other companies. It serves no one — not the fans nor Capcom itself — to say “no sorry Amingo is dead forever”.

So sure Amingo could come back, but people are gonna have to really show their love with their voices IRL, their fingers hitting keys over the internet, and with their wallets. A point in our favour is that this collection features multiple games that fighting game diehards love — Marvel vs Capcom 2 included. So if there’s any collection with a good shot at forcing the Ruby Rose gears to turn internally, it’s this. Fingers crossed, amigos.

Do you think it’s possible we’ll see the original Marvel vs Capcom 2 characters make a return again, or are they lost to the void? Let us know below!
