  ›

  Capcom Fighting Collection 2 arrived in May 2025 as a digital and physical compilation of eight distinct arcade titles. The collection bridges the gap between 1998 and 2004, covering both two-dimensional fighters and early three-dimensional experiments. Players can access Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein from 1998 alongside Power Stone released in 1999. The lineup continues with Power Stone 2 and Project Justice, both arriving in 2000. Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper represents an enhanced version of the 2001 release that includes characters missing from the original Japanese arcade cabinet. Capcom Fighting Evolution closes the list as a 2004 crossover featuring various franchises. This specific grouping marks the first time certain external crossovers appear together on modern platforms.

An art gallery accessible from the main menu contains concept scans and character artwork from the original development era. A music player allows users to listen to official soundtracks without leaving the game interface. The Ver. 2K25 sound style replaces DJ Hiroaki Asai with system voice Bill Butts for select titles like Power Stone 2.
