Marvel Superheroes

 Released around the same time as the previously mentioned 1995 X-Men arcade game was Marvel Superheroes. 


What made this game different is its unique set of characters and the fact it was ported from arcade to PlayStation 1 and Sega Saturn in 1997. The game is based on the comic "Infinity Gauntlet", the same comic the Marvel movies "Infinity War" and "Endgame" are based on. The game was rereleased for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2012 allowing for even more fans of Marvel to enjoy this game. 

Something I should mention is Capcoms willingness to give fans what they want, they don't shy away from updating or remaking their older titles, allowing for newer generations to fall in love with their games.

Resident Evil : Nemesis

  Novel by S.D. Perry released in 2000. Resident Evil: Nemesis is the fifth book in the series but follows the events of the third game which released the year prior to the book being released. It's also the first book in the series to be based around one specific game. So, for that reason I believe it was important to mention the fact that Capcom also used books to promote their games. Capcom has put their foot in the door in various forms of media over the years, experimenting with their franchises the way they have has only helped them so far. They try to make media based around their IPs for everyone to enjoy.  Resident Evil: Nemesis (geeknative.com)

X-Men: Children of The Atom

Released in 1994 in Japan and 1995 in North America and Europe  In 1995 when Capcom still made games designed for arcade, they made their first game under licensing with Marvel and created a fighting game using X- Men characters. The games plot was directly based on the X-Men comic "Fatal Attraction", and it also uses the voice actors from the X-Men animated series that was released around the same time. So, for fans of the comics and the show alike, this game was a step in the right direction for what's to come with Capcoms licensing of Marvel characters.  X-Men: Children of the Atom (segaretro.org)
