Hot off the heels of the announcement of the Marvel vs Capcom Collection last year, which once felt like a faraway dream for most fans of those games (like
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is by far the best and most well-rounded compilation of fighting games the studio has put out so far. There’s truly something for everyone here, from the ocean-deep mechanics of Capcom vs. SNK 2 to the madcap party fun of the Power Stone games. Capcom Fighting Evolution is still a dud and could’ve been replaced with literally anything else, but this is an otherwise unmissable collection for both local and online play.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 has some of the best fighting games of their era in one amazing package. Nostalgia is certainly riding high here as the 3D visuals obviously don’t hold up, but they nonetheless are oozing with charm and personality, especially Project Justice.
There’s an argument to be had about when Capcom’s brightest moment has been. Was it in the 90s, where Street Fighter 2 practically inventing the fighting scene, while Resident Evil lurched into people’s consciousness? Or perhaps it’s happening right now, with huge franchise hits like Monster Hunter Wilds and Dragons Dogma 2 sitting alongside more esoteric offerings like Kunitsu-Gami.
Where its predecessor largely focused on DarkStalkers – including a couple of titles which never released outside of Japan – Capcom Fighting Collection 2 mostly turns its attention to SEGA’s infamous NAOMI arcade board, so we’re looking at a compilation of mostly Dreamcast-era brawlers here.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 completes the journey, and opens the door for new chapters. The interest alone in these games shows that Capcom still has a hadouken or two left. We are in fighting game heaven right now. Enjoy yourselves.
I remember a time when Capcom was failing miserably with each and every new release, most noticeably their fighting games. Back when they decided to charge $40 for an updated version of Street Fighter II for the Switch, the vanilla version of Street Fighter 5, and whatever the hell happened to Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, those days are long gone now. We now live in an era where it seems like Capcom simply doesn’t miss. Every single outing of theirs is a banger, from new Resident Evil and Mo...
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 bundles the obscure together in a compilation that aims to please with its unique blend of the other side of the fighting genre. While it may not be without its blemishes, there is sure to be something in this package for everyone.
A love letter to fighting game obscurities, delivering cult classics with modern polish. Read the full Capcom Fighting Collection 2 review.
This is a wonderful collection of early 2000s fighting game era touched up with quality of life features and tons of artwork to peruse. The standout attractions this time are the team-based crossover classics Capcom vs. SNK 1 and 2, along with the beloved 3D arena brawlers Power Stone 1 and 2. Unfortunately the two Power Stones don't come with their story modes, and being stuck with one save state across all games is incredibly restrictive when continuing single-player. Still, a majority of the eight games here are absolute gems, and are arguably a better value than Capcom Fighting Collection ...
We took a look at Capcom Fighting Collection 2 recently and in that time, our enjoyment of it has only grown. Like the prior two Capcom Fighting Collection entries, this second non-Marvel entry focuses on the breadth of Capcom's fighting game releases, with a particular focus on the late '90s and early '00s. It's a time that felt like another era of rebirth for both Capcom and SNK while highlighting 2D fighting games in new ways thanks to crossover titles and newer hardware allowing for polygonal titles and 3D titles to coexist. That aspect of the industry is so...
