All Games in Capcom Fighting Collection
A few years ago, we had the Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle featuring some of the best side-scrolling beat-em-ups from Capcom’s arcade days. The new Capcom Fighting Collection is done in a similar style and brings an interesting selection of 2D VS fighters. Contrary to expectations, this collection is not full of Street Fighter games – instead, its main content is the complete Darkstalkers series and a few other rare titles.
