Retro Revolution: Capcom’s Bold Move!
Get ready to dive into the nostalgic world of Capcom's fighting games! While everyone knows Street Fighter II, this time Capcom has chosen to spotlight the rarer gems like Project Justice and Plasma Sword. With the announcement of the Capcom Fighting Collection 2, fans are buzzing with excitement over these hidden treasures.
The Evolution of Fighting Game Collections!
This latest installment isn't just a rehash—it's the third in a series that has seen Capcom unearth some of its more obscure titles. The first collection dropped in 2022, featuring beloved 2D fighters like Darkstalkers and Cyberbots. Following that was a highly anticipated Marvel vs. Capcom collection. Now, with Fighting Collection 2, Capcom is offering a cavalcade of fighters inspired by earlier titles between 1998 and 2004.
Crossover Chaos and 2D Delights!
This collection mixes things up with a variety of 2D crossover games, where characters from different franchises clash in epic showdowns. Think classic match-ups with two SNK vs. Capcom titles—Millennium Fight 2000 Pro and Mark of the Millennium 2001. And who can forget Capcom Fighting Evolution, where Ryu takes on a dinosaur? Yes, you read that right!
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper adds more thrill to the mix. Though it’s not a crossover, it remains a classic and showcases the best of 2D fighting mechanics, making this collection a must-have for fans!
Exploring New Dimensions with 3D Fighters!
But that’s not all! Capcom Fighting Collection 2 also brings four 3D fighters into the limelight, each offering unique gameplay experiences. Power Stone and its ambitious sequel flood players into expansive, interactive arenas filled with items and power-ups. Meanwhile, Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein focuses on weapon-based battle mechanics, and Project Justice allows players to control teams in a captivating storyline revolving around rival schools.
Nostalgic, Yet Timeless!
While these 3D titles may not have aged as gracefully as their 2D counterparts—offering slower gameplay and occasionally awkward controls—they’re still a thrill for those willing to embrace them. And for a lot of players, this collection is a long-awaited opportunity to explore these battle arenas for the first time!
What’s Inside the Collection?
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 comes loaded with features, including both English and Japanese versions of the games. Plus, it offers online support, a music player for nostalgic tunes, and a treasure trove of artwork. While it may not boast the same level of extra content as titles from studio like Digital Eclipse, it still encapsulates the essence: eight outstanding classics that demonstrate the evolution of fighting games.
Get Your Game On!
Good news, gamers! Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is now available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Don’t miss out on your chance to play these fighting legends!
