We’re now just over a month away from getting our hands on a bunch of classic Capcom fighting games on modern systems for the first time.
The company just dropped a new game spotlight trailer for the upcoming Capcom Fighting Collection 2.
Like we previously saw with Project Justice and Plasma Sword, this trailer focuses mainly on Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper and Power Stone.
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper is an updated version of the arcade classic that came out in 2001.
This particular edition had never really been accessible in the West (outside of technically the Game Boy Advance), so it’ll be interesting to finally have that in the home — though it would have been cooler if we got Alpha 3 Max instead.
Upper added the characters from the original home console ports like Guile and Evil Ryu as well as made gameplay changes like removing crouch-canceling infinites.
Power Stone basically revolutionized what would become the modern arena fighter back in 1999 with its frenetic multiplayer action that many still look back on very fondly.
Unfortunately, the game hadn’t really been accessible since the PSP Power Stone Collection from 2006, so it’s nice to see the series finally get some attention too.
Part of the trailer is dedicated to Training Mode and the Cap-Jams pre-order music like last time as well.
Plus, those in North America can receive a mini Capcom vs. SNK comic book for pre-ordering the physical edition of the compilation.
The Capcom Fighting Collection 2 features Capcom vs. SNK, Capcom vs. SNK 2, Capcom Fighting Evolution, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, Star Gladiator, Plasma Sword Power Stone, and Power Stone 2 on the playable roster with online play and new options.
This new fighting collection is set to release on May 16 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
