Yeah, the recent remake is fantastic! I'm loving the Marvel VS Capcom bundle too (haven't tried multiplayer though).
Wish all of the remasters/remakes were done so well.

This must have been a sweet spot in history when licensing music fees for video games were not as expensive?
I wonder if a similar project could be done today now that everyone knows gaming is a huge industry.
