Capcom Fighting Collection 2

“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.”

“Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is another feather in Capcom's cap as it works to revitalize marooned games in its catalog. Though distinctly for genre enthusiasts, the high-quality netcode ensures that decades-old titles could have their time in the competitive scene.”

“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 1.”

“Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a near-perfect compilation. Each of the games brings something unique to bear, whether in the systems they employ, their arcade-perfect visuals or the participating characters. Whether you're a newcomer to these titles or someone who loved them the first time around, this is an incredible collection of some of the best fighting games of all time, on modern hardware, for an unbelievably reasonable price.”

“I am definitely down for more, but curious what is left in the tank. Still, I cannot recommend these collections enough for people who love fighting games. Some of these titles showcase Capcom at their peak and revisiting them has been an absolute delight.”

“Yet another timely reminder that Capcom has been the king of its craft for decades now, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 superbly digs into the Dreamcast era of the Japanese publisher's iconic output.While its commitment to arcade conversions means you're missing some of the single player modes from the various included titles' home console ports, there's simply so much quality content on offer here that it's hard to complain, with the likes of Capcom vs. SNK 2 and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper having legitimate claims at being some of the greatest fighters ever made.”

“Capcom returns with an archive of some of their finest late '90s and early '00s fighting games in Capcom Fighting Collection 2.”

“Whether you’ve played these games before or are cracking them open for the first time, you’re in for a treat, especially if you bring some friends along.”

“The Capcom Fighting Collection 2 does its job, breathing new life into eight great games that some have forgotten, and many more have never experienced. While there's room for improvement in the collection's presentation and content, fans will have a blast enjoying and rediscovering these classics.”

“Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is incredibly polished and option-filled. It’s a must-own collection for retro fighting game fans. Lots of these games have been trapped in arcade and Sega Dreamcast exclusivity.”

“Capcom Fighting Collection 2 brings an incredibly strong roster of classic arcade fighters to Nintendo Switch in one of the best compendiums of its work to date. This is top-notch fare, a slew of incredible games, some appearing for the first time since their original releases, replete with rollback netcode for online play, tons of unlockables, Japanese versions of all eight titles, and modern training modes to catch you up to speed. With both Power Stones, an unbeatable Capcom vs SNK double bill and Project Justice leading the charge, there's really very little to complain about here. Excellent stuff.”

“This collection of fighting games sits comfortably with Capcom's other compilations as a similarly high quality collection of some truly classic games that were previously stuck on old hardware. For some of these games, it might be the beginning of a new era for their compeititve scene. For others, the mere fact they're here is enough as a curio. Immaculate emulation and slick new features make this the definitive way to play with friends and share the experience.”

“Obviously, it would have been better if the collection had included the first Star Gladiator and Rival Schools games, and it would be nice if Capcom had provided us with characters and features locked to the console ports of these titles. However, you can always ask for more and the point stands that what’s here is already one of the best retro fighting game collections on the market.”

“In the window of my local CEX is a Dreamcast copy of Project Justice, marked for £180. It's been there for years, and, as it becomes increasing...”

“Capcom delivers another great fighting game collection--even with varying quality in the selections this time around.”

“At the moment, it seems more like a collection for nostalgics and collectors than a platform on which to build a new online scene, but Capcom has shown that it knows how to listen to the complaints of fans and who knows, maybe Capcom vs. SNK 2 could free itself from the chains of that wicked revision very soon .”

“Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a solid fighting game compilation but an even better example of game preservation done right.”
