Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Switch Physical Pre-Orders Are Now Live (US)

I could understand the reason for the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection included a comic book with the pre-order as a bonus due to MARVEL being a comic book property but both Capcom and SNK had no ties to comic book so why they go through the trouble of making one again for this collection? Why not just include a traditional artbook of all the IPs instead? I mean the first Capcom Fighting Collection doesn't had a comic book either. I'm not complaining about this, just wondering why they still intend on making another comic for the collection.

I can't wait to play as the Dragon T Rex, Kraken, the characters from Power Stone 1+2, and have memories. I just hope Japan which is headquarters of the Nintendo Corporation does not get attacked by Russia.

@Serpenterror A comic book doesn't HAVE to be Marvel. What the heck kind of thinking is that Mr Serpent? Comics are cool.

So... many... collections...

And remember the glory days when we had at least two digits' worth of retro games in a collection? sigh

A lower priced collection with just the 2 Powerstone games would probably have done better and ensured the online lobbies are more populated. I have no need for the other games in this collection.

@GrailUK It just felt weird probably not for the Capcom side but the SNK side since those characters hardly ever appeared in comic book form before. Nonetheless it's good that we are getting one again.

I want it. Fighting Evolution should bring this collection's value down, however.
Just...gross.

@Serpenterror I get your point. I'd go for a Bengus, Shinkiro, and Nishimura art book all day.

@OorWullie That's a thing w the collection, huh? People that love Power Stone, and people that love fighting games...
It's like if someone made a collection of fighting games and somehow Smash Bros was in it.
Like no, lol, we said "Fighting games."

This is the one I have been waiting for! I love the original Dreamcast version of Capcom Vs. SNK and 2 on the GCN was pretty great too. The fact that both POWER STONE games are on this collection just cements it as an excellent 2000s era collection.

I've been waiting on the UK preorder

Would have been nice if Capcom released the epic version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, instead of Upper. More I think about it, it could have been easily and technically possible. I mean all the assets are already completed in this collection. For example all the optimized sprite work releasing on modern consoles where characters like Yun, Eagle, Maki and Ingrid are already there. They could have pulled their visual game data, from Capcom SNK2 and Fighting Jam evolution. And then build it using the PSP version source code for SF Alpha 3 Max. Of course the win quotes would have to be “HD” visually optimized as well. But considering they are really static screens, with just 4 more characters, this would have made it a more exciting collection. Who knows, maybe it could be a secret unlockable.

I am way more excited for this than I was for marvel vs capcom. The power stones alone are what gives this collection the edge. I’m hoping capcom will do some other collections like another beatem up, a viewtiful joe collection, maybe give us the arcade collections physically( tho I’d rather have some of the console versions instead; like in the case if slam masters). Capcom is king outside of Nintendo. There’s so much.

As I'm sure Capcom won't release a physical version in Europe, as before with Marvel vs. Capcom collection, I've preordered it from Amazon US.

I've been up and down that capcom link and see no place to place any kind of order at all. Anyone see where to order? I don;t see it on bestbuy, etc. either. Hmm I am in the USA.

Looking forward to, finally, getting the best Alpha 3! CVS2 & Project Justice is icing! Stoked to get this.

@msvt
I just preordered via Amazon. Also in the US.

@Djreisat

Weird... I'll keeping refreshing, thanks!

Edit, it is showing now! yay, only $40 too (expected higher).. I am all-in on this. .... passed on Collecttion 1 before but physical is getting rare so I'm grabbing that too.

@Serpenterror I guess you have never seen the shelves full worth of Street Fighter and various SNK fighters that have comic books going back at least 20 years now; most notably giving the publisher UDON a respectable stake in the comic market.

Seems almost quaint to have Kyo on a cover again instead of Terry.

Physical?
Yes Sir!
Sold!.
