With Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls seemingly taking the mantle in 2026, there’s a chance we never see a new Marvel vs. Capcom game ever again. That doesn’t mean we can’t continue to enjoy what we already have, of course, and Kith is helping to make that happen in a big way via a team-up with Arcade1Up.
An odd collaboration, as Kith is a lifestyle brand that tends to deal primarily in high-end clothing. However, if you head to its site right now, you can buy the brand new Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Arcade1Up cabinet. While it appears to be similar to the standard Arcade1UpMarvel vs. Capcom machine, the cabinet itself has new artwork featuring some of the Marvel heroes that appear in the original two games, and also boasts a unique Kith startup screen.
It seems that, despite costing $895, the first batch of Kith’s Arcade1Up cabinets sold out pretty quickly, but all is not lost. There is currently a “made-to-order” phase on the cabinet that will remain open until November 12, 2025. That does mean you’ll have to wait a little longer for your cabinet than those who bought one out of the gate, but a six-month window between placing the order and having your cabinet is pretty impressive for a product like this.
There are eight games included on Kith’s Marvel vs. Capcom 2 cabinet, including the first two games in the series, along with Marvel Superheroes, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, and all of the games listed below. The cabinet has a light-up marquee and Wifi capabilities that let you play against others online around the world.
- Marvel vs. Capcom
- Marvel vs. Capcom 2
- X-Men vs. Street Fighter
- Marvel Superheroes vs. Street Fighter
- Marvel Superheroes
- X-Men: COTA
- War of the Gems
- X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse
Kith doesn’t appear to be done with its Marvel vs. Capcom collaboration, as the next stage of the crossover will be something far more fitting for a brand primarily associated with stuff you wear. A collection of Marvel vs. Capcom sneakers courtesy of Asics, and even though we haven’t seen the shoes themselves, the box they’ll come in might be the best part about this Kith crossover so far.
Open up the box and you’ll find stunning, colorful artwork featuring Marvel and Capcom characters as if they’re on opposing sides of a character select screen. It’s unclear when the sneaker range will get a full reveal, but with the packaging revealed and the cabinet selling out almost immediately, Kith will be keen to get them out into the world soon.
