Capcom Fighting Collection Is an Essential Release, and Here's Why

There's more to this package than just a Darkstalkers party. Though that's reason to celebrate enough.

[ApocalypseShadow]

It's because they are all good fighting games separately. Does look like a great package of games and features if you don't have these games already or have emulated them.

Speaking of collections, can I get the arcade Bionic Commando, the NES version, a remake of the Gameboy version, Elite Forces and Bionic Commando Rearmed 1 and 2 thanks. The 3D one only if Capcom rebuilds it themselves to look and be more like rearmed.

So many collections can be made.Which could lead to more collections like other fighting and game collections. Like Power Stone, Mega Man collection or even a Mega Man Legends remake to Ratchet and Clank level. Call it Mega Man World and use the name for a game.

Getting ahead of myself.

[RetroCaptainSteve]

Nah, some good suggestions. There's always room for more!

[ApocalypseShadow]

There's so many arcade games that never got a home release or were downgraded for home release. I'd take those original games and games that never released in the West as collections.

Maybe lead other companies to drop some collections on the market. Sega, Konami and Namco should be next. So many classic games out there.

[FallenAngel1984]

You know what else would be essential?

A collection that featured

- X-Men: Children of the Atom
- Marvel Super Heroes
- X-Men vs. Street Fighter
- Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter
- Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes
- Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes

That’d more than rejuvenate interest in their second most successful fighting game series

[darthv72]

All of those are near and dear to me. wolverine and his weapon X special move is still my favorite.

[CosmicTurtle]

Also that SNES side scroller X-Men: mutant apocalypse. The forgotten marvel Capcom game with an amazing soundtrack.

[RetroCaptainSteve]

Funny, that's in the Arcade1up I got with X-Men vs. Street Fighter.

[RetroCaptainSteve]

Not to mention Rival Schools, Power Stone, Star Gladiator, and the Street Fighter EX games. Full 3D, please.

[Chevalier]

Same. It's so F'n expensive for that Capcom fighting stick. Capcom should Remaster the DnD games and see if they can make a 3rd one to capitalize on the popularity of DnD right now.

[Chevalier]

I would love an arcade collection with Alien Vs. Predator, both DnD games, Captain Commando etc

[RetroCaptainSteve]

I can't believe Alien vs. Predator is limited to that lame Capcom fighting stick.

[jaymacx]

We know Capcom would do this but Disney needs to make this happen.

[autobotdan]

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure games

[sourOG]

I’m hyped. I’m buying because I want another darkstalkers. There are also a few others I’ve never tried. Red something or another?

[darthv72]

I'd be stoked if Lord Raptor could rise again for a new DS game. Red Earth is the other one you are thinking of and don't forget Cyberbots. That is where Jin (as found in MvC and MvC2) originally came from.

[sourOG]

Red earth that’s right. Never tried cyber it’s either but I do indeed know Jin.

[autobotdan]

Hyper Street Fighter 2 is the greatest Street Fighter of all time possibly the greatest fighting game of all time. If you argue against this you will meet your quick end by Akuma

[CyberSentinel]

Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors
Night Warriors: Darkstalkers’ Revenge
Vampire Hunter 2: Darkstalkers’ Revenge
Street Fighter II The Anniversary Edition
Red Earth
Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire
Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire 2

Thank You, Capcom!!

Physical release?

[sourOG]

Do you think they are trying to see which one is played more? It seems they are going more realistic with street fighter and letting these IP duke it out for the new anime vibe game.

[ApocalypseShadow]

If anything, it'd have to be Darkstalkers using UE4 or UE5. With even better, diorama like backgrounds that would look sick. Their specials would look crazy in 3D.

If SNK is getting in on it making 3D KofF games and Samurai Showdown(and they have so many other fighters to update that I'd love to see), Capcom needs to bring Darkstalkers up to date but still have that 2D reaction speed.

Could even add a side scrolling beat em mode like Namco did with Tekken. A SF or DS beat em up mode.

[sourOG]

Sounds good to me

[Chevalier]

@Apocalypse

Would love a new Darkstalkers, but, if it's going to be 3D I hope they make it look more like how Guilty Gear does it. If they go 2D then they should make it like the Meltyblood fighting game that came out last year.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Chevalier...EXACTLY!!

Eye melting characters that look straight out of Anime with backgrounds that match that are 3D textured to look 2D.

Truth be known, I miss hand drawn not just in games but in Anime like the old days. Movement and animation so impressive with parallax scrolling, that it puts current anime and cartoons to shame. A lot of these current cartoons and anime just look ugly and move ugly.

The characters in SF6 look good if that's the Anime Realism Capcom are looking for. But if they really wanted to push it, they'd take SF back to its roots to number 2 but ramp up the detail to either the detail we see in the GOW art images
https://www.eventhubs.com/n...
or the detail of this Chun-Li figure you see here
https://cdna.artstation.com...
with photogrammetry backgrounds of real places animated to look real. But it would look like SF2.

Either way, I'd take 2D greatness or realism seen above. I'd even take an SF that looks like the animated movie that came out years ago.

[Majin-vegeta]

Yes theres a physical release

[SimpleSlave]

Still waiting for the Mega Man Legends Collection. Games included:
Mega Man Legends 1
Mega Man Legends 2
The Misadventures of Tron Bonne
Demo of the Mega Man Legends 3 that was supposed to be released

C'mon Capcom, finish the Mega Man Collection already.

[RetroCaptainSteve]

We've already gotten like four, with a dash of Mega Man 11. They're going to take it easy on that franchise for a bit.

[GhostofHorizon]

I would add a Battle Network collection to that list as well, have fond memories of that series.

[SimpleSlave]

Absolutely. Capcom should just hurry up and bring all these games out of obscurity and make them more readily available. Especially with these, more future proof hardware.

[gangsta_red]

A definite must have for fighting fans

[Majin-vegeta]

One of the Darkstalkers titles should have gotten replaced with Saturday Night Slam masters.

[GhostofHorizon]

What a great collection of games.

[JayRyu]

Capcom...Please stop adding street fighter 2!!!!
Didn't we get a whole SF collection?
And SF is my favorite game!

Marvel Superheroes, Xmen vs Street fighter, Children of the Atom!

[HeliosHex]

If this had the marvel, xmen, streetfighter vs series it would have been a must buy. As is I just feel a resounding meh.

[AvocadoGamingstation]

Though it’s a great fighting collection with a lot of great fighting games missing it’s still a great collection to own if it sells well they might make a fighting collection 2 here’s hoping.

[autobotdan]

Need licensed fighting games. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

[WGAF]

Dont know, out of 7 games, about 5 are darkstalker and its various version. If only they can do Ultra ultimate super fighting fighting collection:
- MvC2 (license require)
- CvSNK2 (license require), I still keep the original xbox just to play this.
- Street Fighter 3: 3rd strike
- Darkstalker chronicles
- Rival School
- Jojo Bizzarre Adventure
- Red Earth

Some varieties instead of sequential from the same ip.

[autobotdan]

Street fighter 3 3rd strike is ready in the Street Fighter 30th anniversary collection on xbox one, switch and ps4

[DazaMc]

I wish Sega would make a racing collection with Scud Racer in it.

[RetroCaptainSteve]

And Daytona USA 2.
