Capcom Fighting Collection: Every Game in All 3

The Capcom Fighting Collection series currently spans three separate releases: Capcom Fighting Collection (2022), Capcom Fighting Collection 2 (2025), and Capcom Arcade Stadium (2021, which includes fighting games but is not a dedicated fighting collection). This article lists every title in the two dedicated fighting collections, plus the fighting games in Capcom Arcade Stadium, so you know exactly what you get in each package.

Capcom Fighting Collection (2022) – 10 Games

The first dedicated collection focuses on the late 1990s CPS-2 and CPS-3 arcade era, with a heavy emphasis on Darkstalkers and puzzle spin-offs. It includes rollback netcode for most titles and a museum mode with concept art and music.

  • Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors (1994)
  • Night Warriors: Darkstalkers’ Revenge (1995)
  • Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire (1997)
  • Vampire Hunter 2: Darkstalkers’ Revenge (1997)
  • Vampire Savior 2: The Lord of Vampire (1997)
  • Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition (2003)
  • Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (1996)
  • Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix (1997)
  • Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness (1995)
  • Warzard (also known as Red Earth) (1996)

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 (2025) – 8 Games

Announced in 2025, the second collection covers a broader era, from early CPS-1 titles to the Sega Naomi arcade board. It includes the Power Stone games and the Project Justice sequel, which were previously hard to find outside arcades.

  • Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 (2000)
  • Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 (2001)
  • Capcom Fighting Evolution (2004)
  • Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper (2001, arcade version)
  • Power Stone (1999)
  • Power Stone 2 (2000)
  • Project Justice: Rival Schools 2 (2000)
  • Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein (1998, a Star Gladiator sequel)

Capcom Arcade Stadium – The Fighting Games in That Pack

Capcom Arcade Stadium is a separate retro compilation that includes 32 arcade games, but only a handful are fighting games. It was released in 2021 for Switch and later for other platforms. The fighting titles are:

  • Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (1991)
  • Street Fighter II’: Champion Edition (1992)
  • Street Fighter II’ Turbo: Hyper Fighting (1992)
  • Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers (1993)
  • Super Street Fighter II Turbo (1994)
  • Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors’ Dreams (1995)
  • Street Fighter Alpha 2 (1996)
  • Street Fighter Alpha 3 (1998)
  • Street Fighter III: New Generation (1997)
  • Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact (1997)
  • Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (1999)
  • Vampire (Darkstalkers) (1994) – in the “Capcom Arcade Stadium” base pack

Note that Capcom Arcade Stadium also includes non-fighting games like Final Fight and Mega Man, so it’s not a pure fighting collection. The dedicated fighting collections are the two above.

What’s Not Included in Any Collection

Despite the breadth, several notable Capcom fighting games remain absent from these three releases. These are often tied to licensing or hardware emulation issues:

  • Street Fighter: The Movie (1995) – not in any collection due to film licensing.
  • Marvel vs. Capcom series – rights held by Marvel, so they appear only in the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection (2024), a separate fourth release.
  • SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos – a later standalone re-release (2024) not in the collections.
  • JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – rights to the manga, so it’s not in the Capcom collections.
  • Star Gladiator (1996) – the first game is missing; only its sequel Plasma Sword appears in Collection 2.

How to Choose Which Collection to Buy

If you want the most iconic 2D fighters, start with the original Capcom Fighting Collection for Darkstalkers and Hyper Street Fighter II. If you prefer 3D arena fighters or the Capcom vs. SNK series, go for Collection 2. For pure Street Fighter II and III arcade versions, Capcom Arcade Stadium is the cheaper option, but it lacks rollback netcode for online play.

Consider your priorities:

  • Online play with rollback netcode – only the two dedicated Fighting Collections have it.
  • Retro arcade accuracy – Capcom Arcade Stadium offers CRT filters and arcade settings.
  • Rarity – Power Stone and Project Justice are exclusive to Collection 2.
  • Darkstalkers – all five Darkstalkers games are in the first collection.

Common Misconceptions and Mistakes

One common misconception is that Capcom Arcade Stadium includes every Capcom fighter. It does not – it omits Cyberbots, Red Earth, and the Power Stone games. Another is that the two Fighting Collections are identical in online features; Collection 2 adds a “Guild” mode and spectator support, but the first collection has more single-player content like the museum.

Also, note that Capcom Fighting Collection 2’s Street Fighter Alpha 3 is the arcade “Upper” version, not the home console version with World Tour mode. If you want the portable version, you’ll need the separate Street Fighter Alpha 3 on a different platform.

Cost and Availability

Each dedicated collection is sold as a single package, typically around $40 at launch. Capcom Arcade Stadium is free to download but requires purchasing individual games or the full pack. The fighting games in Arcade Stadium are often sold separately for a few dollars each, making it cheaper if you only want one or two titles.

All three collections are available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. Physical editions exist for the first collection, but Collection 2 is digital-only at launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all Capcom fighting games in these three collections?

No. The three collections cover about 30 fighting games total, but many are missing due to licensing (Marvel, SNK, JoJo) or because they were never arcade-exclusive (e.g., Street Fighter EX series).

Do the collections have online multiplayer?

Yes, both dedicated Fighting Collections include online play with rollback netcode for most games. Capcom Arcade Stadium does not have online multiplayer for its fighting games.

Which collection has Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike?

3rd Strike is only in Capcom Arcade Stadium, not in the two Fighting Collections. The first collection has Hyper Street Fighter II, and the second has Capcom vs. SNK 2.

Can I play the Darkstalkers games in Collection 2?

No, all Darkstalkers games are in the first Capcom Fighting Collection. Collection 2 has no Darkstalkers titles.

Is Capcom Arcade Stadium worth it for fighting games alone?

Only if you want the Street Fighter II and III arcade versions without online play. For online play and a wider variety, the dedicated collections are better value.

Will there be a Capcom Fighting Collection 3?

Capcom has not announced a third collection. Fans have speculated about a possible Marvel vs. Capcom collection, which was released separately in 2024, so a third dedicated collection may not happen.
