I don’t think there’s an entity in the video game industry with a more distinguished back catalogue of arcade classics than Capcom. Those are just the facts. The years where these titles reigned supreme in bowling alleys and various other homes of pixelated entertainment sparkle off rose-tinted glasses. As a fan of fighting games, both modern and classic, it’s the oldies that hold a special place in my heart, even if I was never able to go and play them back in their heyday.
So when I got a chance to preview the Capcom Fighting Collection, the upcoming package deal with many of the companies’ most beloved titles from that era, I couldn’t pass it up. Even at a glance, the compilation screamed out as a love letter to the games packed inside, but whether it goes far enough to let these titles shine – and how it holds up technically – remains a mystery.
Let’s start by going over the full package. The Capcom Fighting Collection comes with 10 classic fighting games in total. While this isn’t the first time Capcom has made an effort to bring some of the more beloved classic titles to modern systems, there are some gems here that have remained lost to time, or exclusive to Japan.
