Capcom Fighting Collection Reviews
In the past, Capcom has tried to bring their lesser-known titles to modern consoles but with little success. This latest attempt which was announced alongside the reveal of ‘Street Fighter 6’, has been its best yet. Hopefully, if this compilation sells well, it’ll encourage them to think of some possible sequels or even make a second compilation with all their 3D fighters. Until then, there is so much to enjoy and appreciate in Capcom Fighting Collection.
I’d recommend this one mostly to arcade aficionados or those curious about the characters they’ve seen in the Vs. series or other Capcom crossovers. The modern conveniences are nice and the museum is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of these games, but these are still arcade ports through and through. Just like the Beat ‘Em Up Bundle, not every entry is equal here. More power to fans of older iterations and obscurities, and here’s hoping once again that Darkstalkers isn’t dead.
Since these are titles that have been previously released and are just merely being ported over to consoles, all Capcom needed to do is make sure that these games can be played like in the past, and that they are properly functioning. Capcom checked both of these boxes with Capcom Fighting Collection, but also passed that bar by adding on to the titles.
Capcom Fighting Collection brings more arcade fare back to consoles, delivering much demanded classics in a quality-packed release.
Capcom Fighting Collection is a great compilation that does nothing wrong. Great games with all the necessary updates to launch in 2022 with nothing special to claim, and even with extras like an off-the-shelf setting. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.

Capcom could go on for years and years just surviving via collections such as this. Their catalog is immense and there’s plenty of hits which players are hungry for in the current gen systems. The games included in Capcom Fighting Collection were among some of the most requested by fans and they should be pleased with how it turned out. If this is any indication to how they are willing to treat older games and update them to modern standards, more power to Capcom to keep releasing these!
Capcom Fighting Collection has managed to improve the experience that a collection can offer its fans. From the selection of excellent titles to the addition of missions, well-structured online matches and free button customization, here we have everything to make players relive the good times of the arcade era without leaving home.

Capcom Fighting Collection gives us ten great titles that collect the best years of the era of the fighting genre, with a complete collection (finally) of the Darkstalkers saga and presenting others not so well known or forgotten. It fulfills its mission, which is to remind us of such admired franchises, however, its greatest attraction is also its biggest drawback, half of these titles are only from the Darkstalkers saga, and since it is a saga that you do not like, you will be able to see how you have almost no options to enjoy this compilation. A compilation created almost exclusively for fans of the Darkstalkers saga, with some additions, such as Red Earth or its museum, as the icing on the cake.

I love Capcom Fighting Collection. It pays respect to the company’s past, all while giving players a brand new (and refined) way to play some of the best fighting and puzzle games of all time, complete in one, smooth-as-silk, pristinley remastered package. Its online play is reliable, its presentation is sublime, and its extras are satisfactory.
Capcom Fighting Collection is the perfect fit for those who still reminisce about the classic arcade days and want to battle it out once again like the good old days. Some of the old bugs that annoyed Hyper Street Fighter 2 are fixed while the match making environment has become more fluid. The EX option allows players to pick secret characters as well. Red Earth becoming available to be ported to home platform was a first since its release in 26 years and 10 other great titles which may have existed behind the shadows of the big names, but that’s what makes it better since Capom realizes that these titles need some extra love among their heavy hitters.

Capcom Fighting Collection is a good collection, with a selection of games that emphasize the Darkstalkers franchise, until then forgotten by the company in previous collections. The ten titles presented run with impeccable fluidity and have modern competitive tools, such as netcode rollback.

Your dose of nostalgia, especially from 90s fighting games, will be realized with the Capcom Fighting Collection. With ten unique games to choose from, it’s definitely worth the price of admission especially if you’re a die-hard fighting fan looking for a great time by yourself or with competitive play. As a fighting game casual, I still found myself enjoying the single-player options that many of these titles offered. Whether it be for the more popular titles like Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo and Hyper Street Fighter II or the more obscure ones like Cyberbots and Red Earth, the Capcom Fighting Collection is a superb compilation that shows the great lineage of Capcom titles.
Capcom Fighting Collection is one of the collections of classic games release in years that gives a large of fans a chance to play some of the most important titles in the history of fighting genre for the first time and if only it had the cross-play feature, it would’ve been perfect.

Capcom Fighting Collection is a fun compilation of arcade games that any fighting fan, new or old, will want to own. Practice your Hadouken and catlike reflexes. It’s time to fight!
Capcom Fighting Collection is a must-own for Darkstalkers fans, but even those who aren’t in love with the series should consider it. There’s enough variety in titles, interesting games which could use more exposure, beloved classics which hold up, to keep players busy for a long time. Add in excellent supplemental materials and killer online play and it stands among the best fighting game collections ever released.
The Capcom Fighting Collection is a strong grouping of Capcom’s smaller fighters. Red Earth and Cyberbots alone make this a very neat collection, but the entire package is truly worthwhile. Fighting fans of all stripes will find something to enjoy here, though Darkstalkers fans will be especially happy.
The Sickos need love every now and then. Capcom Fighting Collection is a weird, wonderful compilation that never would’ve existed ten years ago. And at the very least for the broader fighter audience, Red Earth is cool as hell and arguably worth the price of admission by itself.
Besides being a darn good collection, it all comes down to whether or not you’re interested in the games. For fans of Darkstalkers and Capcom’s fighters in general, the improvements and first-time ports are worth it, plus the museum has some nice goodies like concept art and design documents.
Capcom Fighting Collection is an enjoyable batch of 10 classic games, some of which are more well known than others. It’s the more obscure titles that truly make it shine, which is why it’s a slight bummer the game doesn’t present them in a nicer way.
