Eight classic games return in Capcom Fighting Collection 2
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 has officially launched, giving fans access to eight retro fighting games that span across consoles and arcades from 1998 to 2004. Available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC for $40, the bundle revives cult classics like Power Stone, Project Justice, and the Capcom vs. SNK series with modern updates and accessibility.
Split between fast-paced 2D fighters and experimental 3D brawlers, the collection offers:
- 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

Fans of old-school fighters will enjoy seeing beloved characters like Chun-Li, Cammy, Akira, Rouge, and Mai Shiranui back in action. English and Japanese versions of each title are included, alongside online matchmaking, music libraries, and visual galleries.
Shinkiro celebrates launch with new artwork
To commemorate the launch, Capcom unveiled a brand-new piece of art from Shinkiro, the legendary illustrator known for his work on SNK and Capcom titles. The striking visual unites fighters from across the eight games, including Plasma Sword’s Claire, Project Justice’s Hinata, Power Stone’s Rouge, and Street Fighter’s Chun-Li.
This new piece wraps up a series of countdown artworks from guest artists leading up to the game’s release, with Shinkiro’s contribution serving as a final highlight for fans of Capcom’s legacy.
Classic games, modern access
While many of these games have become rare over the years — especially the 3D titles — this collection finally brings them back to modern hardware. It’s the first time in decades that Project Justice and Power Stone 2 have been widely available outside of their original consoles.
Although some of the 3D fighters show their age with floaty physics and slower pacing, fans and newcomers alike will appreciate the chance to explore Capcom’s unique experimentation during a pivotal era in fighting game history.
Conclusion
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a welcome return of fighting game oddities and all-time greats, packaged with love and highlighted by stunning new Shinkiro artwork. Whether you’re reliving arcade memories or discovering hidden gems for the first time, this collection delivers stylish brawling and nostalgic value in one $40 bundle.
