I must admit, if given the choice of game, I’d choose to have Ikaruga represent Naomi’s arcade legacy in arcades anywhere. But that’s off personal bias. The chaos, recognized characters, multiplayer fun, and sense of style that MvC2 contains has carried the game in the western region over the years. That carry has only been emboldened by the (very late to the party) adoption of esports as a legitimate staple in western culture, to the point even my grandmother has talked to me about it. Coming with that: many stories and players from the 2000’s and early 2010’s transcending the game into legend.Marvel V.S. Capcom 2 is the most popular I think you can still find even in places you wouldn't expect. I dare to say if people had to don't sacrifice one NAOMI machine it would be the one that has Marvel V.S. Capcom 2 lol.
The game is very fun, but also why it's popular is the recent Americanization thought virus spreading into Japan like an epidemic. There are lots to say about it but know just because of Marvel appeal too Marvel V.S. Capcom 2 is really a game there should be in arcade places.
MvC2 may not be anywhere near my favorite fighter (that honor goes to Virtua Fighter 2) but it’s old reliable. It’s the kind of game you don’t have to have played before to be interested in, as it’s visual/audio presentation is one of the most potent I’ve ever seen for a game.
