We got some new Xbox+Nintendo love energy: https://www.purexbox.com/features/reaction-xbox-and-nintendo-continue-to-deliver-with-major-summer-showcases

They need to use that love energy to finish getting the remaining Rare games on NSO!

Still missing Killer Instinct Gold, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64, Banjo-Tooie, and Conker's Bad Fury Day. 

DK64 I have no earthly why that's not on NSO yet. I'm wondering if Rare has some sort of ownership over the original characters from DK64? But now that N64 Mature17+ is a thing, the door is wide open now for Conker's Bad Fur day



So it seems that the reason why Marvel VS Capcom collection isnt coming is because of the engine used to make the game isnt supported on Xbox as of 2022 apparently.

That sucks :(

Yeah that seems to be the case. The only Capcom games that have skipped Xbox since 2022 have been ports from their MT Framework engine. Since Capcom switched to RE Engine and dropped MT Framework, not even the PS5 has been getting these ports. They're always listed as Switch, PS4, and PC. It would take an investment on Capcom's part to optimize the engine to port them to Xbox, which may not make much business sense. 

Microsoft could front that optimization, but I feel like if they were going to do that, they would've done it by now.

I wonder what this means for the future when they port these games or other games to future platforms - if there's no b/c, then some of these games wont ever get ported over :(

I'm not sure what other games are left to port tbh. Capcom for the most part has switched to RE Engine and are even working on the successor, the REX Engine, so I don't think there's going to be many more ports that Xbox will miss out on. It sucks though. Especially this Marvel vs Capcom collection!
