Capcom's put a release date on Capcom Fighting Collection 2. The compilation's now set for the 16th May.
For those who haven't been keeping up, this looks to be one heck of a bundle. It includes classic PS1 brawler Rival Schools 2 (known as Project Justice here), alongside arena fighters Power Stone and Power Stone 2. This is some serious 3D fighting game heritage.
Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Pro, Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001, Capcom Fighting Evolution, and Street Fighter Alpha 3 UPPER are here as well, making for a pretty robust package.
And last but not least, there's Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein — an arcade release that most people won't be at all familiar with.
Every game's been handed online modes with rollback netcode, and much like the first Capcom Fighting Collection, there's a huge gallery mode to nerd over.
Do you have a soft spot for any of these fighting game classics? Give in to your nostalgia in the comments section below.

no way , power stone , sf vs snk , awesome to see capcom bring all these games to current gen consoles.
Insanely good collection
I'm here for power stone... staying for rival schools
I'm probably gonna skip this one or buy it on deep sale.
I bought the 1st collection but the online rank match and lobby only last like a week or two and after that it turn into a ghost town.
The same for MvC Collection which i bought on day 1 but it's really hard to find active lobby or rank match. I guess people really bought this collection of old fighting games only to put them on the shelf...
I thought Project Justice was Dreamcast and arcade.
For clarity, I guess: Not on PS1.
Fair collection, still a lot of games Capcom won't make re-appear that I wish did. But for these IPs, sure........
@LikelySatan It was on Dreamcast and Arcade. Just like Plasma Sword was also on Dreamcast.
@Rafie as in it was not on PS1. The article says it was on PS1.
@PuppetMaster yup, probably will be dead within in a month when it comes to online play. But still looking forward to this very much. I have some friends who will get down on this.
@LikelySatan Just Dreamcast. It wasn't on PS1.
@shonenjump86 I'm curious why old fighting games with rollback netcode always died quickly. I bought Samsho 5, The Last Blade 2, Garou, and KoF 97 that has rollback netcode done by Code Mystics. But all of them are a ghost town just like MvC and Capcom Fighting Collection 1.
@PuppetMaster I bought Last Blade 2, Garou, and KOF97 on the days they were first released on PS4 and they were ghost towns within that same day 😬. I do wonder about that too.
@shonenjump86 Yes, it's unfortunate. All of those games you mentioned are on Fightcade, a PC emulation app that has ranked lobbies with rollback net code (I'm on there also). People could play those same games for free there. But still, they are some considered to be "Discord games" within the FGC. Games that you have to seek out like minded players to get any PvP matches. Even on Fightcade, there's still games that are ghost towns. With MvC Collection, I would bet most of those fans have the Steam version. A good deal of FGC players travel with gaming laptops to play every where.
I really wish these collections would release with more robust offline Vs modes. Something to casually play some matches, try out characters and match-ups, just a way chiller commitment without having to resort to online or doing a whole arcade ladder every time you want to hop in a quick match.
I really can't wait for this.
Powerstone 1 and 2 were 60 fps on Vita. Hope Switch version can do 60 fps.
Why'd rival schools 1 get left out? I played so much of that back in the day. I remember the copy I bought only had the second disk so maybe I only got to play half the game. Hope tatsunoko vs capcom gets a release too sometime.
@TRC I’ve heard of Fightcade. Seems like the perfect place to play fighting games.
