Capcom Fighting Collection 2

Capcom delivers another great fighting game collection--even with varying quality in the selections this time around.

Yet another timely reminder that Capcom has been the king of its craft for decades now, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 superbly digs into the Dreamcast era of the Japanese publisher's iconic output.While its commitment to arcade conversions means you're missing some of the single player modes from the various included titles' home console ports, there's simply so much quality content on offer here that it's hard to complain, with the likes of Capcom vs. SNK 2 and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper having legitimate claims at being some of the greatest fighters ever made.

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.

Whether you’ve played these games before or are cracking them open for the first time, you’re in for a treat, especially if you bring some friends along.

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 is a solid fighting game compilation but an even better example of game preservation done right.

Outside of a few complaints such as overlooked titles, a lack of crossplay, and this collection only encompassing the arcade editions, this is once again a meaty package of fighting games. The appeal will be in the Capcom vs. SNK duo, but by adding in a few deep cuts, it ensures other gems get their chance to shine.

Capcom's new compilation is a great collection that will please many fighting game fans, although it would deserve more significant graphical improvements.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a very complete collection, filled with great fighting game classics that are well worth (re)discovering.

No matter how you experience Capcom Fighting Collection 2 — online or offline, in single-player bouts against CPU opponents, or in versus mode against human rivals — you're likely to have a good time.
