All those old games, bundled, esp with fighting games.... 39$ is too much imo.
This is a nice set but I would love an end of PS1/Dreamcast era collection with Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, Power Stone and stuff. I know a few of these games are from around then but still.
Glad to finally get Darkstalkers, but I wish they'd thrown in Rival Schools, Project Justice, and SF EX Plus Alpha.
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo was one of my favorite puzzle games on PS1. But 40 $ to play it again (and online) is.... not low priced. I don't care about the other games in this collection.
... Red Earth... you can release an online version of Red fucking Earth, but you can't give us Capcom vs SNK 2 or Power Stone ;_;
At least I finally know where the hell Jin came from.
For those looking for a tough challenge, Hyper Street Figher II: The Anniversary Edition has by far the toughest CPU fighters on the hardest difficulty level of any Street Fighter II version. I know it as I have the PS2 version (and own many versions of SF II) which correlated with the 15. anniversary of Street Fighter.
Cant say this collection is for me, none of the titles really rings for me. Hyper SFII and the mini are old ones I liked like 2 decades ago, the rest I havent even heard about.
How can someone not know Darkstalkers? One of Capcoms best fighting series of all time.
It's been over 20 years since a proper new entry, and even back in the mid 90's, the series was arguably overshadowed. Darkstalkers shared its 1994 release year with Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Virtua FIghter 2, and Tekken, Revenge shared its 1995 release with Street Fighter Alpha, Tekken 2, and Mortal Kombat 3, and Vampire Savior came out in 1997, alongside Tekken 3 and Street Fighter III.
Darkstalkers is not as obscure as something like Cyberbots or Red Earth, but it was never one of the big competing series everyone and their pet hamster would know about. And again, it hasn't had a major release in decades.
Yes, but not everyone plays the Vs Capcom games, even if they're fighting genre fans.
Marvel vs Capcom Infinite sold 1.8 million units. Street Fighter V moved 6.1 million. And games like Dragon Ball FighterZ, Tekken 7, Smash Ultimate, and Mortal Kombat 11 have sold even more than that.
This is not a condemnation of Darkstalkers or any of its characters. They just aren't the most recognized out there.
Can't say I'm a big fighter fan, I know just some well know series. I think I heard this name in the past but can't affirm it. And not saying it is a bad game or obscure, just that well I don't know it.
Never heard of any of these except for Hyper Street Fighter II.
This was the best announcement Capcom made. Also getting a physical release!
This is a cool collection, but the Street Fighter game they chose is not interesting for a niche collection.
Also, not paying $40.
They can. Look at Arcade1up
Can but won`t
