Capcom has just announced its latest retro gaming treasure, Capcom Fighting Collection 2, a package that brings together eight classic fighting games, including the much-requested Power Stone and Power Stone 2 from the Sega Dreamcast. This exciting reveal came during the recent Nintendo Indie and Partner Direct Showcases, continuing Capcom's trend of reintroducing beloved older titles to modern audiences.
Capcom's Retro Revival Continues
In recent years, Capcom has made a significant effort to preserve its rich library of fighting games. After the success of the Capcom Fighting Collection in 2022 and the surprise release of the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics earlier this year, Capcom is once again delving into its vault to bring back fan-favorite games that have been out of reach for many gamers.
For years, titles like Power Stone have been elusive, with original copies often commanding high prices in the second-hand market. Previously, the only way to experience these games was through expensive arcade cabinets, making this new collection a more accessible option for fans and newcomers alike.
What’s Inside Capcom Fighting Collection 2
This latest collection is packed with eight classic games, spanning different eras of Capcom’s fighting game history:
- Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Pro
- Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001
- Capcom Fighting Evolution
- Street Fighter Alpha 3 UPPER
- Project Justice
- Power Stone
- Power Stone 2
- Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein
The inclusion of Power Stone and Power Stone 2 is particularly noteworthy, as these titles were originally released on the Dreamcast and have long been requested by fans for modern re-releases. The collection also includes the highly regarded Capcom vs. SNK titles and the fan-favorite Project Justice, ensuring that there's something for every fighting game enthusiast.
