An essential pickup for fans of early 2000s Capcom fighters, but casuals might be left scratching their heads—or bruised from Power Stone chaos. Still, what's here is solid, stylish, and a blast to revisit.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a solid collection with a nice assortment of classic fighting games. Despite some of the flaws with its online, there are still plenty of reasons to love this game. The numerous extras, added online play with rollback netcode, and the overall style of the collection, combined with the obvious benefit of having these games preserved, make this quite a great collection.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 brings the definitive versions of some of the most important games of all time, preserving the legacy of the late golden age of arcades while adding a modern touch with features like online matches using rollback netcode. This allows longtime fans to relive fond memories and gives new players a chance to discover the roots of the genre. Capcom Fighting Collection 2 goes far beyond from being just a collection—it's a masterclass in how to preserve classic games and present them to a new generation of fighting game enthusiasts.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a fantastic revival of classic fighting games with modern training tools and online features, but it falls just short of perfection due to the controversial CvS2 EO ranked standard and lack of cross-play.
Fans have been demanding Capcom vs SNK, Power Stone and Project Justice, and we finally have them. The other games included, whether popular or not, are well worth checking out too, as they all have their place in fighting game history.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is yet another fantastic collection of Capcom fighting games. The selection is a little more mixed in terms of overall quality, but I feel this collection especially has more of “something for everybody” than the previous two. This is an absolute must-buy for fans of classic fighting games. It may be slightly lacking in the stronger single-player content, especially compared to newer fighting games, but between the charm of titles like Power Stone and Project Justice and the intense action of Capcom vs SNK 1 and 2, you’ll lose just as many hours as you would credits in the arcade.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 consolidates an interesting episode in Capcom's history into a generous package packed with great features. New gameplay options and other modern features, not to mention a flood of never-before-seen material, breathe new life into games that were forgotten in the era in which they were born and that deserved to be formally presented to new audiences.

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. Powerstone 2 matches online have been wildly entertaining, and jumping in to get a few rounds of Alpha 3 has been a dream. As Capcom winds down on the available games to add into a future collection, this release has been one of the best, providing the first time many games have seen a release either outside Japan or in the past twenty-some years. If you need any more proof that Capcom is the king of fighting games, this collection is Exhibit A.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 might just be one of the greatest fighting game collections in history. There’s so much quality here, so much value, but also complete respect in its restoration with solid online capabilities, loving recreation with display and sound options and a real look into Capcom’s incredible history, showing both the best and worst. All at a value price. Some minor weaknesses aside, this is a must-play for fight fans and a deeper reminder of just how good Capcom are and how much they’ve influenced an entire genre for years across multiple generations.
While not every game in Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is equally balanced or polished, the variety and care taken in preservation make it a standout retro bundle that’s definitely worth the price.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 offers solid value with eight well-emulated fighters—four 2D and four 3D—enhanced with rollback netcode and online play, though the inclusion of multiple entries from the same series may feel redundant depending on your preferences.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 may lack the star power other collections, but it more than makes up for it with quality, rarity, and historical value. This is a collection made for fans – especially those who lived through the Dreamcast era – and it brings back several games that were once locked away on aging hardware. The Power Stone titles alone make this worth the price of admission, and the strong online performance makes them feel more alive than ever. I can’t wait to dominate other players online, and honestly, being able to re-visit it in multiplayer so many years after the Dreamcast days is a real treat. And sure, it’s not without its quirks, but this second Capcom Fighting Collection is undoubtedly a love letter to a fascinating chapter in fighting game history, and one that all fans of the fighting genre are sure to enjoy.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is the company's best collection to date.

Ignoring one or two slightly dated titles, plus a truly terrible one, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 goes to show that no one is doing arcade gaming preservation as well as Capcom right now. Just the inclusion of Capcom vs. SNK 2 by itself, in such a pristine, rollback-supported stated, is enough of a reason for you to purchase it, but add in games like two Power Stones and the best version of the best Street Fighter, and what you have here is more than a lot of bang for your buck. What we have here is an infinitely enjoyable collection of fighting works of art.
Don’t pass up the chance to enjoy the best of one of the most traditional fighting game developer’s catalog with Capcom Fighting Collection 2.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a must-have package for fighting game fans who want to experience some of Capcom's classic arcade fighting games at their best versions.
