Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a robust anthology of classic Capcom fighting games with modern features like rollback netcode, training tools, and online play that bring timeless arcade combat to today’s platforms. The collection’s varied roster and faithful emulation provide hours of nostalgia and competitive fun, though some older entries and missing content from original console versions remind players it’s first-and-foremost a retro compilation.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a solid fighting game compilation but an even better example of game preservation done right.
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.
Capcom delivers another great fighting game collection--even with varying quality in the selections this time around.
Capcom returns with an archive of some of their finest late '90s and early '00s fighting games in Capcom Fighting Collection 2.
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.
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.
While some games in this package aren't as well-rounded as the rest, the overall package is truly satisfying for any fighting fan. Enjoying epic battles in Alpha 3 or Capcom vs. SNK is still as intense as it was 25 years ago.
