Capcom Fighting Collection 2 announced to bring more arcade classics home and Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics gets release date
The update received its very own trailer that can be viewed on YouTube below:
Take You For A Ride Down Memory Lane
The biggest update is the inclusion of a more intuitive versus mode for all titles. Previously, players who wanted to go against their friend offline would have to do so through the arcade mode. Similar to back in the day, the second player would join in when the first player had started an arcade mode playthrough. While the collection is largely based around the arcade versions of the games, this implementation of versus was still confusing for most players.Previous Capcom arcade collections, such as for the Street Fighter series, came built in with a traditional versus mode.This makes the exclusion in this title all the more bizarre, but fans will be pleased to know this won’t happen again in Capcom Fighting Collection 2.
Marvelous Mix
Other updates include more customization features for certain titles. Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 will have an option to increase the resolution, while X-Men Vs Street Fighter will have multiple version selectable.X-Men Vs SF was strictly on the 961023 version of the game, which was the last version made for arcades. This version is generally not the most popular among its longtime competitive community due to various balance changes. This update will add two older versions of the game, which lets some characters access all sorts of crazy combo routes and other strong techniques.

Perhaps most surprising will be the addition of brand-new artwork and re-imagined musical tracks. The remixes will come directly from Capcom’s in house-sound team, while the artwork comes from the legendary Shinkiro. Shinkiro is an instantly recognizable name among fighting game fans, especially for those who are familiar with Capcom and SNK titles. The legacy of these games is somewhat intertwined with Shinkiro’s trademark style. All of these quality-of-life features and more can be expected when Capcom Fighting Collection 2 releases on May 16.
