Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a compilation of eight arcade fighting games developed and published by Capcom. More specifically, it comprises ports of four 2D Capcom titles and four of the earliest 3D fighting games released by the developer. The collection is notable for including the first re-releases of the external crossover fighting games Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 and Capcom vs. SNK 2, as well as the intercompany crossover Capcom Fighting Evolution, which spanned Capcom's various fighting and beat-em up game franchises.[1] It also includes Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, an enhanced re-release of the game that incorporated the additional characters featured in the game's home console ports, marking the first time the original arcade version of Upper has been made available outside Japan.[2] Fighting Collection 2 includes Power Stone (1999) and its sequel Power Stone 2 (2000), as well as the Star Wars-inspired weapons-based fighter Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein (1998), the sequel to Star Gladiator (1996), and the high school-themed team-based fighting game Project Justice (2000), the sequel to Rival Schools: United by Fate (1997).[3]

As with both Capcom Fighting Collection and Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 supports online casual, ranked and lobby play for every title included, as well as a high-score based mode with leaderboards. In addition, it features training modes with input displays, as well as viewable hitboxes for the 2D fighting games, and the ability to display each game's marquee card for info on controls, as well as toggles for playable secret characters, one-button super moves, and difficulty setting in offline modes.[4] A variety of filters for adjusting each game's presentation are also available to alter the way in which in-game graphics are displayed. An in-game gallery accessible from the collection's main menu presents further in-game extras including an art gallery with concept and character art scans and a music player with the official soundtracks to each featured game.[5]

Development

[edit]

When being interviewed by IGN in July 2024 during that year's Evolution Championship Series (EVO) fighting game tournament, Capcom fighting game producer Shuhei Matsumoto was inquired on further releases of their legacy fighting games on modern platforms following the launch of Capcom Fighting Collection in 2022 and the announcement of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, set for release in 2024.[6] Matsumoto expressed a desire to release as much of Capcom's legacy catalogue in the fighting game genre on modern platforms as a means to "reach as many people who may have never had the opportunity to play these games back in the day."[7] During EVO 2024, Capcom also debuted footage of SNK character Terry Bogard, who was joining Street Fighter 6 (2023) as a downloadable content (DLC) guest fighter alongside Fatal Fury character Mai Shiranui at a later date,[8] while SNK separately announced and released a high definition (HD) port of SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos (2003), the third and last major entry in the titular series.[9] Both developments began speculation regarding a potential re-release for the two Capcom-developed Capcom vs. SNK titles that immediately preceded SVC Chaos in the future, which Matsumoto indirectly implied as a possibility when reiterating his desire to work with SNK on future collaborations using their characters, suggesting that reintroducing the classic titles to new fans would be a step towards producing new games with external license holders.[10][11]

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 was officially announced in August 2024 during a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase presentation as the direct follow up to the original Capcom Fighting Collection, alongside launch details for the incoming Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection.[12] The compilation was confirmed to be headlined by the inclusion of both Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 and Capcom vs. SNK 2 (2001), while also collecting various other Capcom fighting games released between the late 1990s and early 2000s, including the earlier 3D fighting games Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein (1998), Power Stone (1999), Power Stone 2 and Project Justice (both 2000), the first and the latter being sequels to Star Gladiator (1996) and Rival Schools: United by Fate (1997), respectively; Fighting Collection 2 also includes the enhanced Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper (2001), and the first ever re-release of the crossover fighter Capcom Fighting Evolution (2004).[13] In September 2024, a version for Xbox One was officially announced by Capcom, which had secured support from Microsoft to develop the game for the console after "technical discussions" between the two firms, after the compilation was initially not slated to release for the platform as with Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection.[14][15]
