We all thought such a collection was impossible. Imagine having to deal with Marvel and Disney in order to unearth a bunch of non-E rated games released more than two decades ago. We’ve seen how draconian those companies could be with their IPs. Remember Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite? Yes, you may have forgotten about it, but that game, released at the peak of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s popularity, wasn’t enough to convince Marvel to keep on allowing Capcom to make more fighting game...
Capcom Fighting Collection brings more arcade fare back to consoles, delivering much demanded classics in a quality-packed release.
Much like the Street Fighter collection before it, Capcom Fighting Collection is a truly stand-out effort to preserve not only the games that were included in the collection, but the artistry and stories behind them. You don’t even need to be a fan of the fighting genre to appreciate just how valuable this approach is to retro compilations… and the unfortunate downside to this effort is that it makes every other retro compilation seem so pedestrian by comparison.
For those who love arcade fighters, the Capcom Fighting Collection offers a treasure trove of glorious nostalgia
Of course, it wouldn't be a Capcom collection without at least one iteration of the Street Fighter series, and thankfully there are some decent options here. The primary one that will keep fighting fans engaged is Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition, which is an expanded version of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo that was originally released back in 2003. It's a very solid version of one of the greatest fighting games of all time, and essentially acts as a best-of for Street Fighter II in its own right.
It's time to throw hands, drop gems, cast spells, and crush ‘bots! Capcom Fighting Collection features 10 iconic titles, including two Darkstalkers games for the first time ever outside of Japan.
There are definitely some quality of life improvements to these games. The never-before-released games are super cool. This collection is a little pricey, but with the music, museum, rollback netcode, and internet features, I totally understand why. If you've been playing these games forever like I have, then you may pass this up. But if you want to see where it all started, plus see what other fighting games Capcom dipped their toes into, the collection is for you. Good luck climbing the ranks though- the old school gamers and the FGC are waiting for you at the top.
It’s hard to imagine a world of Capcom fighters outside of the stalwart Street Fighter series and its supporting engine. But along comes Capcom Fighting
The Capcom Fighting Collection brings out some of the best and brightest from 90’s Capcom hay day. Back when they were the kings of the arcades, taking quarter after quarter from the youth. It’s a happier time best memorialized through a lot of the games in this collection. The sprite work and sound design is still as on point as we always remembered. Outside of waxing nostalgic, we also get a previously unreleased in America entry with Red Earth, plus a rarer find in Gem Fighter for those wanting to dig deeper into the Capcom catalog. The sheer amount of Darkstalkers does bloat the collec…
Capcom Fighting Collection is a satisfying bundle that includes 10 classic games with a variety of options as well as online multiplayer.
Capcom Fighting Collection is a no-frills compilation of the pugilistic publisher’s secondary catalog, offering well-aged revisits to Darkstalkers, the gem fighter spin-offs, and some ambitious and intriguing experiments. Outside of its important job as an archival piece, it’s a somewhat barebones collection, hurt by lack of crossplay, and questionable existence given Capcom’s established range of compilations. Regardless, it remains a must-buy for all long-suffering Night Warriors.
An amazing lineup of retro fighting games all in one collection!
