Capcom Fighting Collection 2 – The Classics Return

With full rollback net code, training modes, custom display settings, and a museum stuffed with concept art and liner notes, this is a serious win for preservation — and a blast for competitive players looking to flex old-school footsies in a modern package.


What’s Included in Capcom Fighting Collection 2?

This 10-game lineup brings together obscure gems and long-awaited returns, making it one of Capcom’s boldest retro bundles to date:

  • Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold
  • Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness
  • Project Justice: Rival Schools 2
  • Red Earth
  • Power Stone
  • Power Stone 2
  • Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein
  • Marvel Super Heroes
  • Capcom vs SNK Pro
  • Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II

For Switch 2 players, the 1080p upscaling and controller mapping options feel tight, responsive, and surprisingly authentic given the hardware’s portability.


Preservation Meets Competitive Utility

This isn’t just a nostalgia capsule — it’s a fighting toolkit. Capcom added rollback netcode across the board, quick save states, button rebinds, and character move lists accessible mid-match. It makes learning easier while keeping the raw brutality of each game intact.

Whether you’re here for arcade glory, couch chaos, or a history lesson in pixelated power, this collection belongs in your rotation.
