Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Reviews
Despite a lack of extra game modes apart from the barebones arcade standards, the quality of life improvements and massive amount of extra goodies outside of the games come together with that standout selection to make the best version of this series so far.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 represents yet another must-have collection of classics signed by the legendary Japanese software house. Drawing directly from the glorious (and ill-fated) Dreamcast era, the selection ranges from some of the best fighting games in history to iconic arcade action games via great little forgotten gems. Once again, this is a must-see for every retrogaming fan and anyone who wants to savor tasty pages from this sweet video game past.

Whether you choose to fight locally or online, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 has got you covered in all the best ways. Sure, not all of the games are made equal, and that's true both in the past and the present, but in terms of a collection, it is still a significantly outstanding one. It remains to be seen just how much more Capcom can draw from the well, but since we are here, let's enjoy the goodness while it lasts.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 might not change much regarding its appearance, but it's a solid collection of Capcom's greatest fighter hits now readily available for genre fanatics.
While Capcom Fighting Collection 2 delivers an impressive package of eight classic fighting games with newly added online functionality - a testament to Capcom's combat variety - several titles show their age, holding back what could have been a flawless retrospective.

Maybe not all the games in Capcom Fighting Collection 2 are on the same level, and certainly not all of them have aged equally. But together they form an honest portrait of a specific era of Capcom's most daring and original era. A time when they were allowed to try new things, mix licenses without hesitation, and release such unique games. That we can now rediscover them like this, lovingly and in the best possible conditions, is something fans of the genre should celebrate. Capcom has done it again, and we're delighted to be back in the ring and looking forward to a third installment.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 has become my favorite collection of classic arcade fighting games from Capcom. The variety and quality of the experiences we can get from the eight games included here are great, and they still feel just as tight and smooth as ever. The online multiplayer and customization options are great as well, though the interwoven menus to make these adjustments are a little tedious. Luckily, the core of the game and the extra content make up for it, and I definitely have more reasons to come back and play more than not. It also runs flawlessly on the Steam Deck, and we can maximize our battery life with just a few changes and no compromise on quality or framerate. It's a wonderful experience on the go, and one I am happy to highly recommend.
A solid collection that doesn't quite match the previous compilations, but its nostalgic appeal, online features, and especially the inclusion of Capcom vs. SNK 2 make it well worth the experience.

The arrival of Capcom Fighting Collection 2 sets a precedent for the amount of things that Capcom can still bring with its collections of classic fighting games. The quality of the emulations, as well as all the features and assets in the package, still maintains the bar of excellence very high. It is another excellent collection that is essential for fans of the genre.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is great for many reasons, ranging from its preservation efforts for games like Power Stone and reminding us the Rival Schools series existed.
Combining some of the best (and worst - sorry, Capcom Fighting Evolution) of their back catalogue with smart updates and improvements, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is an easy recommendation.
The long-awaited return of Power Stone and two Capcom vs. SNK games help anchor the collection and make it a worthwhile purchase for anyone with a shred of nostalgia or an itch to know more about fighting game history.
