\"\"<\/a>Video game maker Capcom is recognized for a lot of their titles.\u00a0 But one thing they are known best for is their one-on-one fighting games.\u00a0 Sure there\u2019s Street Fighter, but there\u2019s a lot more they\u2019ve made, too.\u00a0 So here\u2019s a collection of some of Capcom\u2019s other one-on-one fighters they\u2019ve created over the years.\u00a0 And yeah, there\u2019s some Street Fighter stuff in here, too.\u00a0 Capcom Fighting Collection is available on most current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.\u00a0 So let\u2019s take a look at what\u2019s on here!<\/p>\n

Darkstalkers Series<\/strong><\/p>\n

Darkstalkers is like Street Fighter except all the characters are based on movie monsters and there\u2019s a creepy motif to the whole thing.\u00a0 You\u2019ve got a vampire, succubus, yeti, zombie, Frankenstein, etc.\u00a0 If you are a Darkstalkers fan, you\u2019ll definitely want to get this collection because they put all five of the arcade Darkstalkers games on here, both in Japan and overseas.\u00a0 There\u2019s the original Darkstalkers game, Night Warriors, Vampire Savior, Vampire Hunter, and Vampire Savior 2!\u00a0 I\u2019m not really a big fan of the series, but I have to say Capcom\u2019s sprite artwork and character designs were on point with this one.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to believe these games were originally made in the mid 90s!<\/p>\n

Red Earth<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a pretty unique one.\u00a0 You only choose one fighter out of four, but you go up against giant bosses that you can\u2019t play as, like an armored T-Rex and such.\u00a0 I think Konami made a game like this also, but with a superhero theme.\u00a0 But Red Earth\u2019s theme is more fantasy oriented, as you pick characters like a lion man or a witch.\u00a0 You can also pick up items and level up your character as you go, and can even get a password to use your levelled up character again.\u00a0 Which you\u2019ll have to do because even the last boss can\u2019t be beat in one playthrough I don\u2019t think.\u00a0 The other thing about this game is that it was never released on a home console until now.<\/p>\n

Cyberbots<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this one-on-one fighter, you pilot giant mechs as you battle each other.\u00a0 And that\u2019s pretty much it.\u00a0 Still cool, though.<\/p>\n

Hyper Street Fighter 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the title screen, this was made for Street Fighter\u2019s 15th<\/sup> anniversary.\u00a0 I don\u2019t remember seeing it in arcades, though, but I could have and just don\u2019t remember it.\u00a0 By then, Street Fighter games were everywhere.\u00a0 It just combines everything that had been done before it, and you can play as my favorite character, too (Cammy).\u00a0 As an older fighting game, I felt this one was a bit slower, clunkier, and harder than the others, but it\u2019s still a good game.<\/p>\n

Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aw, yeah, now this is what I\u2019m talking about!\u00a0 Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo is one of my top three favorite puzzle games, right on up there with Puzzle Bobble and plain ol\u2019 Tetris.\u00a0 I\u2019m really good at it, too!\u00a0 This game is worth the price of the whole collection right there.\u00a0 Yeah I know it\u2019s not a fighting game, but who cares?\u00a0 Don\u2019t look a gift horse in the mouth, I say. \u00a0It\u2019s a typical \u2018match colored blocks falling in a well\u2019 kind of game, but man is it good!<\/p>\n

Super Gem Fighters Minimix<\/strong><\/p>\n

This game takes the chibi cute characters from the previous puzzle game and turns it into a fighter.\u00a0 You can knock gems from Puzzle Fighter out of the other players and collect them like you do in Red Earth to power up your player\u2019s moves.\u00a0 Characters range from Street Fighter, Red Earth, Darkstalkers, and more.\u00a0 There are tons of Capcom references in the background, and even your moves make callbacks to other Capcom games.\u00a0 Felicia dresses as Mega Man to fire a shot, and Chun-li dresses as Jill Valentine to use a flamethrower!\u00a0 Even the ways you die are from other Capcom games.\u00a0 You can explode like Mega Man, turn into bones like Ghosts N Goblins, or fall into the water like SonSon.<\/p>\n

All the games come with nice quality of life features.\u00a0 You can set the difficulty to your liking, and even make it too easy for me!\u00a0 You can also pause and save at any time, go at it online, set screen settings, and more.\u00a0 Could they have put more games on here?\u00a0 Yeah, sure.\u00a0 But that\u2019s the only problem with this one.\u00a0 Otherwise it\u2019s a great collection.\u00a0 And yeah, I\u2019m just glad Puzzle Fighter\u2019s on here!<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Capcom Fighting Collection is rated T for Teen with ESRB descriptors of Violence, Blood and Gore, Partial Nudity, Mild Language, and Use of Tobacco.\u00a0 These are one-on-one fighters, so there is violence.\u00a0 But it\u2019s still pretty cartoony.\u00a0 Most of the blood and gore comes from the Darkstalkers series, which has creepy backgrounds and splashes of pixelated blood when you deliver a hit.\u00a0 Some of the female characters are a bit underdressed and look like they\u2019re about to fall out of their clothes.\u00a0 Morrigan I\u2019m looking at you!\u00a0 And I saw some characters in the background smoking.\u00a0 But I grew up with these kinds of games and I turned out OK, so I\u2019d be all right with most any kid playing these.\u00a0 At least the older ones anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
