(Note that while Japanese and English versions are selectable for most titles, Vampire Hunter 2: Darkstalkers’ Revenge and Vampire Savior 2: The Lord of Vampire are Japanese versions only)
By choosing the games in this form on the Nintendo Switch, you get to enjoy fully-featured online modes with global leaderboards for ranked matches. You can even create a lobby with your friends for casual games or even spectate. The games offer beginner-friendly feaures for first-timers, with save and load options available at any time.
Capcom Fighting Collection also includes The Museum, an additional content archive with over 500 illustrations and development materials from across the 10 games. Previously unseen concept art is featured here. There are also 400 music tracks from the original arcade games included.
