Marvel Super Heroes (マーヴル・スーパーヒーローズ) is a versus fighting game developed and published by Capcom for the Sega Saturn. It features characters from the Marvel Comics universe and can be seen as a sequel to X-Men: Children of the Atom.

Marvel Super Heroes is notable for being the only game released outside of Japan which supports the Extended RAM Cartridge. It was not advertised as being compatible (as the peripheral was not released in the west) but maintains compatibility regardless.

Gameplay

By default, the Saturn version has to cut the number of character animations, making it less smooth than the original arcade version in motion. With the Extended RAM Cartridge, the Saturn is able to bridge more of the gap - while still not a perfect match, it is able to reinstate most ducking animations, for example, which without the RAM cartridge are reduced to static frames.
