Glen-i Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Power Stone? OK, that's interesting. Finally get to see how incredibly wrong those who think Smash Bros should play more like that are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) These are all the Naomi/Dreamcast Capcom fighters (except Tech Romancer for some weird reason), pretty awesome collection! Hyped for Power Stone 1 & 2, hope they have online play! Edited August 27 by Dcubed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnas Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago So yeah, this announcement is friggin' awesome! I expected a Capcom vs SNK collection or remaster to come at some point (these two companies have been very chummy lately, right?), and I was kind of hoping that Capcom would do a "3D fighting games" collection at some point... But combining the two concepts? I did not expect that! Capcom vs SNK 1 is one I am not familiar with at all. I have heard about it, I have heard its presentation is fantastic, but I have never played it. I'm curious to try it out. Capcom vs SNK 2 is one of my favourite fighting games ever. Its Single Player content is basically non-existent (and this is the Arcade version, anyway), but what we do have here is an incredible roster, and one of the most unique concepts I've ever seen for a crossover: the Groove System, which essentially allows you to pick which game mechanics you want to work with (C-Groove replicates SFA 3 mechanics, K-Groove replicates Samurai Shodown mechanics, etc.). Oh, and a soundtrack that rivals MvC 2 as well. (Sadly, the one interesting console-exclusive feature is likely not going to be in this collection: the colour edit mode.) Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper was a content-rich version of the game that was released for the GBA and PSP. Due to their handheld nature, I thought for sure we'd never see the best version of SFA 3 ever again... I got my hopes up with this announcement. Turns out, "Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper" is also the name of an enhanced version of SFA3 released exclusively in Japanese arcades. Whelp. At least this version has Guile, T.Hawk, Fei Long, and Dee Jay. Power Stone 1 & 2 are worthy of hype. I never played them myself, but Capcom fans adore this series. Sounds pretty unique. Me, my only experience with this series is watching a few episodes of the cartoon Yes, there was one. Project Justice and Plasma Sword are fighting games I heard a lot about, but never played, so I'm looking forward to exploring these. I did find it odd that they're the 2nd game in their respective franchises (with the first entries being absent from any collection), but I guess that's a consequence of making a collection that's entirely based on the Dreamcast/Naomi systems. Capcom Fighting Evolution is an infamous Capcom flop, by all means, it's incredibly low-budget and unfun to play, and it's hilarious that it came back. A win for videogame preservation! Yeah, this is gonna be an awesome collection. CvS2 alone is worth the price of entry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
