There's more to this package than just a Darkstalkers party. Though that's reason to celebrate enough.
Gamers have had plenty of retro compilations and collections come to consoles over the past few years, some of them mightily impressive, others incredibly lacklustre. While 2022 saw plenty of companies repackage old releases into pleasant nostalgia parcels, it also felt like the beginning of a new phase, with big names in the industry finally starting to realise the value — beyond the mere monetary — of investing in their history and letting talented developers present it with the care and attention it deserves.
Daily Video Game writes: "This weekend, Amazon has plenty of new action-adventure, fighting, RPG, shooter, and simulation games on sale with discounts as deep as 73% off for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch gamers right now!"
"When it comes to competitive arcade fighting games then nobody does it better than Capcom. If you grew up in the 90s and spent your time around the arcades you most probably spent the most amount of money on Street Fighter II or Vampire Hunter. Well, here we have 10 good old-fashioned fighting games to sink our teeth into so let’s beat down this Capcom Fighting Collection." Gareth @ Thumb Culture
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.
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
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?
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
