Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Shines Spotlight on Project Justice and Plasma Sword for Nintendo Switch

Capcom continues its tradition of celebrating arcade classics with Capcom Fighting Collection 2, set for release on Nintendo Switch on May 16, 2025.

In anticipation of the launch, Capcom has begun a series of in-depth spotlights, starting with two iconic 3D fighting games: Project Justice and Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein.

Both titles, well-regarded among fighting game enthusiasts, will form a central part of this new compilation, offering both seasoned players and newcomers a chance to explore their rich histories and innovative mechanics. Project Justice, first released in arcades in 2000 and later arriving in Western markets in 2001, is recognized as the direct sequel to Capcom's Rival Schools.

The game is set against the dynamic backdrop of a Japanese high school, where a gripping narrative unfolds through intense 3-on-3 team battles.

Capcom describes Project Justice as a game where "teamwork is crucial in pulling off devastating Party-Up attacks," a feature that enhances its signature cooperative play.

Players are challenged to unite their squads and leverage synergy, bringing a fresh twist to traditional fighting game strategy. Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein, which debuted in arcades in 1998, serves as the sequel to the fan-favorite Star Gladiator.

This futuristic 3D brawler transports players to a cosmic stage, where characters wield plasma-powered swords and unleash signature moves unique to each fighter.

Notable features include the ability to trigger Plasma Fields—momentary bursts that provide a tactical advantage—or execute the awe-inspiring Plasma Strike, described by Capcom as "a powerful technique capable of turning the tide in battle." The game is cherished for its fast-paced action as well as its cinematic story sequences, which further immerse players in its intergalactic narrative. The recently released Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Spotlight Trailer showcases the dynamic gameplay and distinct storytelling styles of both Project Justice and Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein.

By including these titles, Capcom reinforces its commitment to bringing historically significant fighting games to the Nintendo Switch platform, making them accessible via the eShop and ensuring they reach both nostalgic fans and new audiences. Capcom's ongoing success with collections such as these continues to fuel excitement within the fighting game community.

With the May 16, 2025 release date approaching, players can expect more detailed spotlights on the remaining games featured in Capcom Fighting Collection 2, as well as announcements regarding new features, improvements, and local or online multiplayer options.

For anyone invested in the legacy of arcade fighting games, this collection is shaping up to be a must-have addition for the Nintendo Switch library.
