A Legendary Roster Returns to the Ring
This new collection is a treasure trove for fighting game aficionados, featuring a stellar lineup of eight classic titles that defined an era:
- Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Pro
- Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001
- Capcom Fighting Evolution
- Street Fighter Alpha 3 UPPER
- The beloved 3D arena brawlers Power Stone and Power Stone 2

- The 3D sci-fi weapon-based fighter Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein
Many of these, like the iconic Capcom vs. SNK titles and the energetic Power Stone games, are making a long-awaited official return to consoles with full online capabilities.
Modernised for a New Generation of Fighters
Capcom hasn’t just dumped a bunch of ROMs on us; this collection is loaded with features to enhance the experience for both veterans and newcomers:
- Smooth Online Play: This is the big one! All eight titles feature rollback netcode, ensuring a smooth and responsive online experience. You can compete in heated ranked battles, play for fun in casual matches, create custom lobbies with friends to battle head-to-head or even play co-op where applicable, and spectate other matches. A High Score Challenge mode with global leaderboards is also included to test your arcade mettle.
- No Experience? No Problem! The collection boasts a number of beginner-friendly features, including adjustable difficulty levels, the option for One Button Specials (not usable in Ranked Matches), and comprehensive training modes to hone your skills. Plus, players can save and load their progress almost anywhere, picking up right where they left off.
- More Than Just Games: Museum & Music: Dive into a digital treasure trove with over 700 pieces of artwork from all 8 titles, including never-before-seen development documents. The Music feature contains over 300 tracks from the original arcade games that players can listen to at any time!
Our Verdict: A Polished Package That Shines
We’ve already had the chance to step into the ring with this collection, and it’s a knockout! In our full review of Capcom Fighting Collection 2, we awarded it a strong 4/5 score, stating:
“Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is certainly a polished package, shining light on some well known and less well known titles from Capcom’s back catalogue. Instead of simply bundling a group of games together for re-release, the Japanese developer has put in considerable effort to supplement each of them with modern features whilst remaining faithful to the originals.“
