Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Delivers Classic Arcade Action on Nintendo Switch

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Delivers Classic Arcade Action on Nintendo Switch Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is the latest offering from Capcom, bringing together a curated selection of legendary fighting titles in one comprehensive package for Nintendo Switch and other platforms.

Building on Capcom’s long history of preserving and celebrating arcade classics, this collection not only revisits fan favorite games but also introduces them to a new generation through modern enhancements and features. This meticulously assembled collection includes the following eight titles: Capcom vs.

SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Pro, Capcom vs.

SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001, Capcom Fighting Evolution, Street Fighter Alpha 3 UPPER, Power Stone, Power Stone 2, Project Justice, and Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein.

Capcom has bolstered these releases with online multiplayer featuring robust rollback netcode, a comprehensive in-game achievement system known as Fighter Awards, and a museum mode containing original art and music from the included franchises. Following a significant update last month, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 on Nintendo Switch now offers an improved user interface and menu accessibility, allowing players to directly select Arcade Mode, Training Mode, or Versus Mode from the Offline menu.

This update addresses previous feedback and streamlines the local multiplayer experience, making it easier to enjoy matches with friends on the same system. One of the standout features of Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is its accessible, detailed training modes.

These tutorials provide hitbox visualizations, full move lists, and adjustable dummy behaviors, enabling both seasoned competitors and newcomers to refine their skills.

Game-specific settings for difficulty, victory conditions, secret characters, and more are stored individually, ensuring a customizable experience for each title. Across the included titles, Capcom maintains the authentic arcade feel while adding contemporary conveniences.

Nintendo Switch players should note, however, that while single Joy-Con controllers technically work for multiplayer, the experience is significantly enhanced with a dedicated arcade stick or an upgraded d-pad controller such as the Hori Split Pad Pro.

The real advantage for Switch owners lies in the system’s portable play, providing classic fighting game action on-the-go. Capcom has also paid attention to audiovisual fidelity.

A pre-release update introduced support for 2x internal resolution on Nintendo Switch (with higher options available on PC), as well as customizable display settings, filters, wallpapers, and individual audio controls.

While some artwork may not scale optimally on large screens, handheld play maintains the integrity of the classic visuals.

Additionally, select games (Power Stone 2, Project Justice, and Capcom vs.

SNK 2) now feature newly arranged 2K25 soundtracks, supplementing the original audio for enhanced replay value. Online multiplayer performance stands out as a highlight, with rollback netcode ensuring responsive, stable matches that surpass previous efforts in the genre.

During review testing, online matches in Capcom vs.

SNK 2 and Power Stone 2 were smooth and reliable, representing a significant step forward from earlier collections such as Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. There remains room for improvement, however.

The Quick Save system continues to offer only a single slot across the entire collection, a limitation also noted in previous releases.

Players have expressed a desire for additional save slots to accommodate progress in multiple games at once, and future updates could further refine this aspect. In summary, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 upholds its commitment to both honoring its arcade roots and making classic fighting games accessible on modern platforms like Nintendo Switch.

With its varied selection, excellent online features, and thoughtful presentation, the collection is a must-own for enthusiasts and a strong entry point for newcomers eager to discover fighting game history. Version tested: Nintendo Switch Review copy provided by Capcom.
