With Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves happily promoting a
well-known potential rapist and tax evader, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 was my
most anticipated game of the year and a huge deal for fighting games on the
whole. Just think that in the old days, having
one of the games on a console was worth 50 dollars each and now they’re all in
one place for 40 dollars. Those games on
consoles have had varying degrees of inaccessibility over the years, with one
in particular being virtually impossible to play until now.
This new collection also means that it’s time for another
addendum in this blog’s documented battle between SNK and Capcom. Until this collection I couldn’t take Plasma
Sword, Project Justice, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper or the first Capcom vs. SNK
into consideration, but now just like with the Marvel Collection, that will be amended
and Capcom will have the chance to break the tie and be the king of
arcades. I will still be going over the
games I’ve already looked at as well to judge any subtle differences between
the versions featured in this collection and the ports I played before.
