A Power Stone collection would be awesome. And fun fact Tessa was planned to be a playable fighter repping Red Earth in MVC: Infinite's base roster with her role in the storyline if this is actual fact was to be Capcom's flirty female counterpart to Doctor Strange aka she'd explain the more magical properties of the Infinity Stones in a scientific manner with Stephen translating her magical scientist so everyone could understand on what she's getting at and flirting with Stephen, and being the friendly snarky rival to Iron Man aka him thinking Tessa's "magical scientist shtick who can actually describe magic as a form of energy control in a scientific manner" is BS and her trying to get Tony to understand that there is more to science then what he is familiar with. A shame she was cut from MVC: Infinite's roster.
that actually sounds like a really awesome concept as tessa always felt(especially in pocket fighter were she,sakura,ibuki & morrigan were my favorites/snk vs. capcom.:3) like the doctor strange of capcom's worlds & her being a flirty accomplice to strange himself also not taking iron man's lip being a sorcerologist sounds cool.(was a huge missed opportunity in general not having more new capcom characters outside jedah,x and sigma especially the ones thorgi had on his wishlist/honestly care more about that then the x men being gone.)

It's a shame Capcom pays Darkstalkers dust at least Namco value Soul Calibur as much as Tekken but Darkstalkers characters only will be seen in Capcom crossovers.
Namco valuing Soul Calibur as much as Tekken is a huge stretch tho, they weren’t exactly happy with the latest one’s performance. We’ll be lucky to see another installment of it, just like Darkstalkers. At least those characters would be kept alive in Capcom crossovers, if Soul Calibur died that’d probably be the last of them we’d see.

With as much that has happened in Star Wars, Capcom could’ve had a field day with Star Gladiator lol. I would love to see it rereleased along with Plasma Sword
Capcom re-releases have been pretty weird as of late. We got so many versions of SF2 on the Switch alone and now we're getting two sets of all three main Darkstalker game re-releases coming with Capcom Fighting Collection and The Capcom Arcade Stadium 2 releases in July only a month after Fighting Collection. The only difference being Fighting Collection costs more, has the Japan only versions of Darkstalkers 3 and the Arcade Stadium versions won't have rollback. Weirdo stuff.
I think the difference is the new team behind capcom fighting game division. They problaby had decide in the idea of the Arcade Stadium but we can see in the Nakayama twitter of him posting old lost capcom artwork I can just imagine him looking at all that cool artwork and asking himself "WHY WE DONT HAVE THIS GAMES WITH PLAYABLE ONLINE AND WITH ALL THIS ARTWORK IN A GALLERY!?!?!??!" they even create an entire twitter just to post capcom artwork in the recent year.
Don't know why Capcom stop making Rival Schools games Project Justice was a success they just making games for the series but the characters are now apart of Street Fighter now like Final Fight characters are being they all share the same universe anyway and Street Fighter is Capcom main fighting game.
There is a lot of reasons...In the ps3 generation they were in the "Trying to be western" phase where if the game dont sold a lot copies they should kill the franchises,Itsuno the guy behind the series was busy leading DMC 3 and 4,envolved with the DMC remake and made Dragons Dogma.then he said that he go to the president of the company with some piches of what he should work on last time they let him do DMC 5,I like to believe the next time he asked to do Dragons Dogma 2 or Rival Schools 3 but of the 2 Capcom would choose Dragons Dogma easy.
Exactly Project Justice had great reviews it's a shame Capcom didn't make more games well the Rival Schools characters can live on through the Street Fighter games since that's happening anyway we got Akira in Street Fighter V.
Don’t know why? Project Justice had good reviews but it was a commercial flop because of reasons like the name change and the time period it released on the Dreamcast, what do you mean success? There’s a reason why Capcom had stopped trying to establish it as a franchise after just a couple of years. However I do believe a modernized sequel could be a success during this age of gaming, and it would be worth the effort to give it a revival. I’m at least hoping they do.
Personally, I'd love to see a _3D Capcom Fighting Collection_ down the line. The list for that, I was thinking; 1- *Tech Romancer* 2- *Power Stone* (with the downloadable VMU mini-games available as a bonus) 3- *Power Stone 2* 4- *Rival Schools: United By Fate* 5- *Project Justice: Rival Schools 2* 6- *Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha* 7- *Street Fighter EX2 Plus* 8- *Street Fighter EX3* (for this and the previous two, it'd depend on if they could get the AKIRA licencing sorted out) 9- *Star Gladiator Episode 1: Final Crusade* 10- *Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein* 11- *Final Fight Revenge* 12- *Gotcha Force* (could be a great bonus if they can fit a GameCube game in there as well!)
would love to see new games/collections of capcom's other series starting with a 3d collection(especially for power stone with some episodes of the anime as unlockables,star gladiator & rival schools with the school life mode/character creation added.:3) along with the gamecube games,though think street fighter ex should be it's own collection.
Yes, a 3D fighting collection should be the next thing on Capcom's compilation list (well, that and another Mega Man collection...and a Viewtiful Joe collection)
Only problem with including the Street Fighter EX Games is getting permission from Arika. They were the ones that developed the games and not Capcom themselves.
@@TheSuperSmashBros01 Yup, am aware of that. Hopefully they could work something out so the games could be included, they'd really tie the collection together!
I would so love to see collections for Power Stone and Rival Schools. With the latter, I hope they translate and port the Japanese version which had more than just the aforementioned dating sims, like a board game Also, I agree with porting the PSP version of SFA3. I loved that console version of that game due to World Tour mode, which subsequently is the main thing I'm excited for with SF6
It would just really be cool to see a Vs. Collection not exclusive to MVC. Throw in CVS and Tatsunoko in there too. Though from my understanding it's harder to put rollback into 3D games retroactively but having the 3D ones anyways would be cool.
Tatsunoko would be dope asf but because Capcom went thru tons of licensing issues just to bring Tatsunoko to the west in 2012 it’d probably be unlikely
Minor thing worth noting; Teppen’s next collab is with Onimusha, using Samanosuke as the mascot of this particular expansion. So who knows how that effects Onimusha’s chances in anything? Edit: I also definitely think a 3D fighting collection is what’s gonna come next. Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, Power Stone, and Tech Romancer all in one place is an easy slam dunk.
Street Fighter 3 needs a “master edition” which features all 3 titles, but also a “Final Strike” which has every playable character palette, every stage and OST from each of the 3 iterations. I would love to play 3rd Strike on Elena’s bridge stages…. Or 3rd Strike in Necro’s Train stage
@@bolthesorcerer3570 Yes please, CAMMY, JURI, Sakura, Blanka, Sagat, Zangief, Karin, Dhalsim, Rolento, Guile, Adon would all be DOPE AF in Final Strike
we're barely out of 2024, and already most of the games *intentionally excluded* from the start, in addition to some games on this list proper, have already been confirmed to return in some collection down the road. Or in the next few weeks in the case of Marvel. *God, I'm STILL waiting on Capcom to bring back Zero 2 Alpha and Ring of Destruction/Super Muscle Bomber*
Glad to see Power Stone mentioned. Super underrated game. The first one holds up well as a competitive game. You should have mentioned that we can play it online right now with Fightcade.
Thorgi, have you ever thought about doing a "Build a Roster" of all Capcom characters (including franchises they left forgotten)? It would be a good special for the Build the Roster series. Like a 48 player roster, or similar to SNK vs Capcom 2 (I thought I'd call it "Capcom vs Capcom", but seeing the way she treats fan-favorite IPs or runs some projects... Capcom vs Capcom is sad reality for us). Great video!
Cyberbots got a US release. I played it in the arcades in the mid 90s. Not only that, Capcom has released it several times since. It's in the first run of the Capcom arcade division.
Any one of these would be welcome, especially if they did a Retro 3D Fighter Collection for Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, Tech Romancer, Power Stone, and Final Fight Revenge. Though honestly, seeing this treasure trove of fighting IP that Capcom is just sitting on makes me want a pure Capcom vs Capcom crossover fighter so much more. They could limit themselves to just 6 characters per series and still have a just insane roster. I call it Capcom All-Star Heroes (because we all know they love that C.A.S.H.).
Capcom Quiz Collection 1: Quiz and Dragons 2: Adventure Quiz: Capcom World 3: Adventure Quiz Capcom World 2 4: Quiz Nanairo Dreams (Quiz Nanairo Dreams is both a dating sim and quiz game so it was way before the Rival Schools version).
Thank you for adding Megaman the Power Battle and Fighters. They are my favorite Meagaman games of all time. Its sad we haven't gotten a rerelease since the Ps2/Xbox/Gamecube days. There both extremely underrated!
I got into Sengoku Basara via the anime, so someone mentioning the fighting game spin-off made by my people at Arc Sys makes me kinda happy. Hope we do get this in the future! Also Star Gladiator rerelease would be pretty nice as well!
The Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX thing is so frustrating. Especially since it's not just this one game. This video is inspired by a collection coming out later this month featuring every arcade version of Darkstalkers. Including the two weirdo Vampire Savior iterations for the first time outside Japan. AND YET. It's still not the definitive version of Vampire Savior. Which is the Dreamcast version, which has all the characters in a single release as well as selectable versions of them so that you can play as any iteration of any fighter from any game. This was then further worked on with the PSP version, which was all that and a bunch of new modes. I don't understand this practice of rereleasing these old games but not doing some kind of definitive version of them. All I want is a version of Alpha 3, with good online, all the characters, all the modes from the Dreamcast version (SFA3 without World Tour and Dynamic Battles isn't SFA3) and for it to play properly. That doesn't seem like that big of an ask honestly. More work then an arcade rom yes. But not that much. I'd honestly be happy cutting the "good online" from the list, since it's the part that would need the most work and money invested into it. Playing SFA3 with Guile, T. Hawk, Fei Long and Balrog on a tv shouldn't require me to dig out my Dreamcast. I'm happy to pay for it. Ditto with Vampire. This isn't even the first time since the PSP version that they've rereleased these games with less features. Why is my Dreamcast copy of Vampire for Matching Service a more complete version of what is essentially being sold to us again this month? I love arcade ports. It's great that we're getting Red Earth officially at last. But that's cool because it's the only version of that game. If there was some obscure PS2 port that had three more characters then that's the one I'd be asking for. It's not even greed because they're not even planning to sell these other versions to us later. It's just... weird.
The reason everyone thinks "oh cool, Capcom rereleased an old thing, that means it'll get revived!" is because of the MegaMan legacy collections and MegaMan 11, which only got released because the collections proved people still wanted a new MegaMan game.
I really wish we at least have a Capcom vs Capcom fighting game. That way we'd be able to play characters from each fighting game franchises that's been ignored for decades.
i was about to talk shit to you if you didn't mention rival schools or project justice. but thankfully you did, and you even put it at number 1. good call👍🏻
Honestly? I think the new guys behind Capcom’s fighting division might do more with darkstalkers these days knowing Capcom Fighting Collection and 2nd Stadium
I cannot remember where I heard this rumor but the reason Star Gladiators is close to Star Wars was that it was originally supposed to be an official Star Wars game. Apparently, Lucas Arts turned Capcom down and decided to make their own fighter which as we all know, was Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi. So yeah, that's a shame if it turns out to be true.
the more and more I think about it the more and more hyped I feel for next year, the 40th anniversary. Every year Capcom has done some Crazy awesome re-releases and compilations. I am honestly expecting a third series for the Arcade Stadium, as well as the compilation that will set off the 4oth anniversary with an absolute bang. Capcom Vs. Not just Marvel Vs... oh no.. im talking Marvel, Snk, maybe even Tatsunoko based on how rights might work. I know it sounds insane but just look at all the games being released right now. Crazy time is here my friends, and the 4oth is gonna be Bonkers. I hope.
Glad to see number one! The extra content alone is worth it. The sim games and especially the create-a-fighter board game are infinitely playable even today.
Power Stone was so popular back in the day that it got it's own slew of knock-offs. The most popular of which being Shrek Superslam which is actually a popular esport now.
I agree with the list. I would love to play some of these games. I have most of them. Saturday Night Slam Masters is the only one on the list that I never played that I really want to play. Probably the Final Fight game but I heard it’s bad. LOL! Overall I think SNK has come out with better Fighting Games from their Collection. But pretty much most of them are accessible to play. Some NeoGeo Fighting Games I would love to see a release of that isn’t SNK as well. I’m an SNK Fighting Fan Boy so there’s is most likely some bias here. But I love both. Just glad to see more Fighting Games being made more now. New and the Old. Great times.
I never played the Power stone games and the Rival schools series, so maybe if we got those on the Capcom fighting game collection, oh man I would love to play them for the first time ever just like Darkstalkers and red earth.
It took a while honestly to get to one worth talking about, but my ears n eyes were alight with joy as soon as Tech Romancer was mentioned! I had it on the Dreamcast and it was so weird and AMAZING..it actually was one of my faves..good luck finding it now so it sorely needs to happen
Sengoku Basara needs more attention from Capcom. The 4 main games should be released outside Japan UNALTERED (yes Devil Kings is the altered westernised version of the first Sengoku Basara) seeing as only Sengoku Basara 3 was the only one released in the west that wasn't altered. Not to mention Date Masamune & Sanada Yukimura would make perfect additions for a Capcom VS. game (preferably a potential Marvel vs. Capcom sequel)
Funny thing is that Masamune Date was actually considered for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, but he later got cut. But yeah, I agree. Basara in the west seems to only be known for the animes.
Just an idea-- Capcom could make a "Capcom Fighting Universe" project. All-new installments of Darkstalkers, Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, Power Stone. Release them in "seasons" like recent Street Fighter and Marvel games, you can upgrade to the next game for a small price or buy individually for full price. Then introduce a Dream Match mode so characters from each game can fight each other. That would fill the void left by MvC, and Capcom can do their DLC and tournament stuff (probably why they don't make small fighting games like Samurai Shodown 2019 or SNK Heroines)
Thorgi I have a question. Why does literally everyone in the fgc love power stone but no one ever wants to give any other arena fighter these days the same chance
Probably because power stone is a party game players have unearthed the competetive depth from while to them a lot of other arena fighters tend to not have that depth. Power Stone 2 isnt looked at as fondly competitively as the first game but everyone loves the shit out of it's sheer dumb fun and rightly so
14:10 Hold up, a sword fighter named Gerelt whose style incorporates a ton of pirouettes? The Witcher has been in video games longer than any of us knew.
Power Stone Collection should definitely get a re-release. It's perfect for current gen consoles. HD remaster and online play. I'd be in heaven. Rival Schools for sure! Definitely Tech Romancer, and Star Gladiator!
Rival Schools Series, Power Stone Series, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, Plasma Sword/Star Gladiator needs it's own Capcom Fighting Game Collection in itself for real along with Tech Romancer and Cyberbots!
There are a few discrepancies I'd like to address with the video: 1. The Capcom test DOES work, in fact Kazuhiro Tsuchiya has gone on record to saying that the reason why Mega Man 11 was possible was because of the sales of the first two Legacy Collections, even Legacy Collection 2 had a subtle teaser for MM11. Thing is, Capcom doesn't want to invest in franchises that aren't Street Fighter, Resident Evil and Monster Hunter... Thankfully, Mega Man Battle Network collection was announced this week so there's still some hope for the Blue Bomber. 2. Speaking of Mega Man, there is a CPS2 version of the Power Battle that was never released outside of Japan and only saw a PS2 release, but if you wanna get more obscure, Rockman Battle & Fighters is actually a port of the games that was only released in the NeoGeo Pocket, and again stayed exclusive to Japan. Given how SNK rereleased SvC Match of the Millennium and the Card Fighters, it's a question of Capcom giving the green light for not only the license but a translation. 3. And speaking of Japan only games, Cyberbots DID get released in English, It was only the Sega Saturn version that stayed in Japan with the exclusive Z-Gouki, which if you know, you know. but yes, other than that, I 100% agree with this list. Tech Romancer is awesome as heck, Maki is waifu and deserves to dominate in more Street Fighter games and a port of Rival Schools is long overdue at this point.
I would love to see a new Red Earth game. I feel Red Earth is a fighting game version of D&D and a modern version would pull in a big chunk of that Fandom especially if Capcom took advantage of D&D 5e's Open Game License. Add well know/established monster and adventurer types to build out a new character roster. Feel like it would do really well with how big D&D is now a days. Still have a boss rush mode with unique/exclusive features to help teach the base mechanics of the game. Pull a few of the previous bosses to be playable (they have in the past). Build up an arcade mode and even a Campaign Mode (a story/stories mode you could play online with friends, have branching story paths based off the party's decisions (adds replayability), unlock new items/weapons/spell scrolls, level up, etc.). Seems like Street Fighter 6 might have a create a fighter option, could do the same here with create a PC (Playable Character)/Adventurer option. Have different classes (wizard, barbarian, paladin, etc.) and fantasy races to make your PC just like in D&D.
Those are their english names for Ring of Destruction. In the japanese releases they are Kimala the Bouncer, Titan the Great and Aleksey Zalazof respectively.
Yes yes yes! I want Tech Romancer because I'm a mech head. But I want the full uncut Rival Schools collection more than any other fighter. So damn good!
Home run again with Power Stone..its so marvelous..arena fighter is the right description. This is the type of game I'd play online.not street fighter, where people t are that too seriously
Sengoku Basara X is one of those obscure games I purchased last month. Due to this famous nerd fighting website called. Fighters Generation. And your channel and Vesper, Maximilian, Justin Wong. And the super ultra nerd fighting gamer Aubue who shows us character selection screen of tons of obscure fighting games. I recently brought Hard knock fighting school on PS2 for decent price $70 which was considering this game goe for hundreds of dollars on ebay and amazon and other stores. Basara X I purchased for $20 which blew my mind on ebay because it was the special deluxe edition. Only thing which suckes was it's all in japanese. Love watching Thorgi video's, took a little while to get over his Advert sales pitch type of tone.
I remember when a friend brought a bootleg copy of Rival Schools over and we played it. That was the day I knew I had to get a legit copy and I didn't regret it. To be honest, the Capcom Test is just an April Fool's prank they used even after April Fool's Day.
They are remaking Power Stone. Post Disney buying Lucasfilm ten years ago and announcing they were planning to make Star Wars movies forever, I’m almost surprised Capcom didn’t do anything at all with their Star Wars knockoff series Star Gladiator. If ever there was a time for Capcom to release another Star Gladiator game, or any Star Gladiator game really, it seems like it was between the years 2013 and 2019...especially in that time people were dying for a new Star Wars game and EA was basically doing nothing.
I'm surprise no Power Stone characters wasn't in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite it made sense for them to be in the game due to the story but whatever.
you shouldn't be surprised, Infinite had so much red tape from the Marvel side it became it's own downfall.
You know they were screwed when they were against Edward Falcon over their character The Falcon.
Just call them E. Falcon & (The) Falcon.
Heck, Batsu was already in Tatsunoko vs Capcom and he was an absolute blast to play in that game! He was a fast fave even if I'd never heard of Rival Schools before picking it up - who doesn't love the idea of "what if Ryu but with crazy divekicks"?
Ikr such a missed opportunity
I think the main character of power stone made a cameo in one of the stages in capcom vs snk 2
Darkstalkers the main Capcom fighting game that need to return.
I'd like to see few Saturday Night Slam Masters characters in Street Fighter in the future.
Same alot of the characters would've been so popular especially black widow

@@TheSuperSmashBros01 Yup, am aware of that. Hopefully they could work something out so the games could be included, they'd really tie the collection together!
I would so love to see collections for Power Stone and Rival Schools. With the latter, I hope they translate and port the Japanese version which had more than just the aforementioned dating sims, like a board game
Also, I agree with porting the PSP version of SFA3. I loved that console version of that game due to World Tour mode, which subsequently is the main thing I'm excited for with SF6
It would just really be cool to see a Vs. Collection not exclusive to MVC. Throw in CVS and Tatsunoko in there too. Though from my understanding it's harder to put rollback into 3D games retroactively but having the 3D ones anyways would be cool.
Tatsunoko would be dope asf but because Capcom went thru tons of licensing issues just to bring Tatsunoko to the west in 2012 it’d probably be unlikely
Minor thing worth noting; Teppen’s next collab is with Onimusha, using Samanosuke as the mascot of this particular expansion. So who knows how that effects Onimusha’s chances in anything?
Edit: I also definitely think a 3D fighting collection is what’s gonna come next. Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, Power Stone, and Tech Romancer all in one place is an easy slam dunk.
Street Fighter 3 needs a “master edition” which features all 3 titles, but also a “Final Strike” which has every playable character palette, every stage and OST from each of the 3 iterations.
I would love to play 3rd Strike on Elena’s bridge stages….
Or 3rd Strike in Necro’s Train stage
Even cooler would be if they add some of the characters they had planned for a theorical 4th edition.
@@bolthesorcerer3570 Yes please, CAMMY, JURI, Sakura, Blanka, Sagat, Zangief, Karin, Dhalsim, Rolento, Guile, Adon would all be DOPE AF in Final Strike
A rival schools with persona elenents?! Hell yea do it capcom! 🤩🤩
Cyberbots was released outside of Japan in arcades. It was the home console port that remained Japan exclusive.

Heritage for the future should be rereleased
Facts
we're barely out of 2024, and already most of the games *intentionally excluded* from the start, in addition to some games on this list proper, have already been confirmed to return in some collection down the road. Or in the next few weeks in the case of Marvel.
*God, I'm STILL waiting on Capcom to bring back Zero 2 Alpha and Ring of Destruction/Super Muscle Bomber*
Who's watching this after the announcement of Capcom Fighting Game Collection 2?
so SO CLOSE
Glad to see Power Stone mentioned. Super underrated game. The first one holds up well as a competitive game. You should have mentioned that we can play it online right now with Fightcade.
Thorgi, have you ever thought about doing a "Build a Roster" of all Capcom characters (including franchises they left forgotten)? It would be a good special for the Build the Roster series.
Like a 48 player roster, or similar to SNK vs Capcom 2 (I thought I'd call it "Capcom vs Capcom", but seeing the way she treats fan-favorite IPs or runs some projects... Capcom vs Capcom is sad reality for us).
Great video!
Just call it either "Capcom Vs" or "Project Capcom" but that's actually a pretty cool idea
We're finally getting the original five MVC games! On the Switch!
I agree with Plasma Sword (Star Gladiator 2) 😎
Cyberbots got a US release. I played it in the arcades in the mid 90s.
Not only that, Capcom has released it several times since. It's in the first run of the Capcom arcade division.
Any one of these would be welcome, especially if they did a Retro 3D Fighter Collection for Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, Tech Romancer, Power Stone, and Final Fight Revenge.
Though honestly, seeing this treasure trove of fighting IP that Capcom is just sitting on makes me want a pure Capcom vs Capcom crossover fighter so much more. They could limit themselves to just 6 characters per series and still have a just insane roster. I call it Capcom All-Star Heroes (because we all know they love that C.A.S.H.).
Capcom Quiz Collection
1: Quiz and Dragons
2: Adventure Quiz: Capcom World
3: Adventure Quiz Capcom World 2
4: Quiz Nanairo Dreams
(Quiz Nanairo Dreams is both a dating sim and quiz game so it was way before the Rival Schools version).
Thank you for adding Megaman the Power Battle and Fighters. They are my favorite Meagaman games of all time. Its sad we haven't gotten a rerelease since the Ps2/Xbox/Gamecube days. There both extremely underrated!
Actually we're about to get a rerelease. Thorgi even mentions it in the video.
I got into Sengoku Basara via the anime, so someone mentioning the fighting game spin-off made by my people at Arc Sys makes me kinda happy. Hope we do get this in the future!
Also Star Gladiator rerelease would be pretty nice as well!
Glad to say that this aged well.
I played Sengoku Basara X in arcades back in the day and was so happy to add that to the PS2 collection too! Don't worry I'm still talking about it
The Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX thing is so frustrating. Especially since it's not just this one game.
This video is inspired by a collection coming out later this month featuring every arcade version of Darkstalkers. Including the two weirdo Vampire Savior iterations for the first time outside Japan. AND YET. It's still not the definitive version of Vampire Savior. Which is the Dreamcast version, which has all the characters in a single release as well as selectable versions of them so that you can play as any iteration of any fighter from any game.
This was then further worked on with the PSP version, which was all that and a bunch of new modes.
I don't understand this practice of rereleasing these old games but not doing some kind of definitive version of them. All I want is a version of Alpha 3, with good online, all the characters, all the modes from the Dreamcast version (SFA3 without World Tour and Dynamic Battles isn't SFA3) and for it to play properly. That doesn't seem like that big of an ask honestly. More work then an arcade rom yes. But not that much. I'd honestly be happy cutting the "good online" from the list, since it's the part that would need the most work and money invested into it. Playing SFA3 with Guile, T. Hawk, Fei Long and Balrog on a tv shouldn't require me to dig out my Dreamcast. I'm happy to pay for it.
Ditto with Vampire. This isn't even the first time since the PSP version that they've rereleased these games with less features. Why is my Dreamcast copy of Vampire for Matching Service a more complete version of what is essentially being sold to us again this month?
I love arcade ports. It's great that we're getting Red Earth officially at last. But that's cool because it's the only version of that game. If there was some obscure PS2 port that had three more characters then that's the one I'd be asking for. It's not even greed because they're not even planning to sell these other versions to us later. It's just... weird.
Thank you for catering to us old heads who been gaming for ever..might have to subscribe!
Thorgi: leaves out Marvel because Capcom may not have the rights.
Capcom: announces MvC collection in 2024!
The reason everyone thinks "oh cool, Capcom rereleased an old thing, that means it'll get revived!" is because of the MegaMan legacy collections and MegaMan 11, which only got released because the collections proved people still wanted a new MegaMan game.
I really wish we at least have a Capcom vs Capcom fighting game.
That way we'd be able to play characters from each fighting game franchises that's been ignored for decades.
Hey, really nice video! You could also mention a game that hadn't actually been released, the incomplete port of *Capcom Fighting All-Stars!* :}
Rival Schools, Star Gladiator and Power Stone are definitely a must
Heck yeah, I couldn't agree, more!
i was about to talk shit to you if you didn't mention rival schools or project justice. but thankfully you did, and you even put it at number 1. good call👍🏻
Honestly? I think the new guys behind Capcom’s fighting division might do more with darkstalkers these days knowing Capcom Fighting Collection and 2nd Stadium
Coming to you from 28/8/2024 and... well, 3 out of the top 5 ain't bad!
Capcom needs to release a Viewtiful Joe Collection! I'm so waiting for that.
I cannot remember where I heard this rumor but the reason Star Gladiators is close to Star Wars was that it was originally supposed to be an official Star Wars game. Apparently, Lucas Arts turned Capcom down and decided to make their own fighter which as we all know, was Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi. So yeah, that's a shame if it turns out to be true.
the more and more I think about it the more and more hyped I feel for next year, the 40th anniversary. Every year Capcom has done some Crazy awesome re-releases and compilations. I am honestly expecting a third series for the Arcade Stadium, as well as the compilation that will set off the 4oth anniversary with an absolute bang.
Capcom Vs.
Not just Marvel Vs... oh no.. im talking
Marvel, Snk, maybe even Tatsunoko based on how rights might work.
I know it sounds insane but just look at all the games being released right now. Crazy time is here my friends, and the 4oth is gonna be Bonkers.
I hope.
Glad to see number one!
The extra content alone is worth it.
The sim games and especially the create-a-fighter board game are infinitely playable even today.
Please Capcom give us a collection of Power Stone and Star Gladiator, Rival Schools!
As soon as I saw Sanada Yukimura (Basara version) I got hooked!
We need a Capcom 3D Fighting Collection.
Power Stone was so popular back in the day that it got it's own slew of knock-offs. The most popular of which being Shrek Superslam which is actually a popular esport now.
I grew up on capcom fighting games too...it's the reason the dreamcast is my favorite console.
I agree with the list. I would love to play some of these games. I have most of them. Saturday Night Slam Masters is the only one on the list that I never played that I really want to play. Probably the Final Fight game but I heard it’s bad. LOL!
Overall I think SNK has come out with better Fighting Games from their Collection. But pretty much most of them are accessible to play. Some NeoGeo Fighting Games I would love to see a release of that isn’t SNK as well. I’m an SNK Fighting Fan Boy so there’s is most likely some bias here. But I love both. Just glad to see more Fighting Games being made more now. New and the Old. Great times.
PLEASE make a video about the obama street fighter, i am DYING to know wtf is up with that and u are my most trusted source of fighting game history
Ring of destruction definitely needs to return. I really hope the characters from the game return to sf 6
I never played the Power stone games and the Rival schools series, so maybe if we got those on the Capcom fighting game collection, oh man I would love to play them for the first time ever just like Darkstalkers and red earth.
It took a while honestly to get to one worth talking about, but my ears n eyes were alight with joy as soon as Tech Romancer was mentioned! I had it on the Dreamcast and it was so weird and AMAZING..it actually was one of my faves..good luck finding it now so it sorely needs to happen
Sengoku Basara needs more attention from Capcom. The 4 main games should be released outside Japan UNALTERED (yes Devil Kings is the altered westernised version of the first Sengoku Basara) seeing as only Sengoku Basara 3 was the only one released in the west that wasn't altered. Not to mention Date Masamune & Sanada Yukimura would make perfect additions for a Capcom VS. game (preferably a potential Marvel vs. Capcom sequel)
Funny thing is that Masamune Date was actually considered for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, but he later got cut.
But yeah, I agree. Basara in the west seems to only be known for the animes.
Well mvc is back
BasaraX just looks so fucking cool, too bad its 100% never getting a re-release version
You can get both megaman games in the Capcom arcade stadium 2.
I love the fourth wall break.
Rival Schools series r hidden jems they r some of the most fun fighting game I’ve ever played needs a revival badly
Just an idea-- Capcom could make a "Capcom Fighting Universe" project. All-new installments of Darkstalkers, Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, Power Stone. Release them in "seasons" like recent Street Fighter and Marvel games, you can upgrade to the next game for a small price or buy individually for full price. Then introduce a Dream Match mode so characters from each game can fight each other. That would fill the void left by MvC, and Capcom can do their DLC and tournament stuff (probably why they don't make small fighting games like Samurai Shodown 2019 or SNK Heroines)
since akira's release in sfv. ive been craving a rival schools rerelease. I need it
Number 1 and number 4 were my favorites, by far. It would be a dream come true! Love your channel. Hope CAPCOM is listening. Thanks!
Thorgi I have a question. Why does literally everyone in the fgc love power stone but no one ever wants to give any other arena fighter these days the same chance
Probably because power stone is a party game players have unearthed the competetive depth from while to them a lot of other arena fighters tend to not have that depth. Power Stone 2 isnt looked at as fondly competitively as the first game but everyone loves the shit out of it's sheer dumb fun and rightly so
That tactic only worked twice(Mega Man 11 and Mega Man X Dive). The fact this collection isn't a test is a pretty good move.
I've never heard Sengoku Basara being enunciated in such an American fashion, well maybe from a western dub of 90's anime "Hey there Sakooorah!"
I still have Tech Romancer for the Sega Dreamcast! The characters, music and story mode is so cool, and it's jam packed with content!
14:10 Hold up, a sword fighter named Gerelt whose style incorporates a ton of pirouettes? The Witcher has been in video games longer than any of us knew.
Fantastic list. Especially SFA 3 Max. I've been asking for it for years
Power Stone Collection should definitely get a re-release. It's perfect for current gen consoles. HD remaster and online play. I'd be in heaven.
Rival Schools for sure! Definitely Tech Romancer, and Star Gladiator!
I distinctly remember first playing cyberbots in a local nickle city in the California bay area in the early 2000's.
Don’t forget Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold. That added Cammy (in her XMvSF outfit) to the SFA2 roster.
I’m hoping that with sales being great we get more fighter collections. And cause well I want alien vs predator on switch
Red Earth was released on PS2 in Capcom Fighting Evolution! So this isn't the first time Capcom has released Red Earth for a home console.
power stone would be my number one
Rival Schools Series, Power Stone Series, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, Plasma Sword/Star Gladiator needs it's own Capcom Fighting Game Collection in itself for real along with Tech Romancer and Cyberbots!
Cyberbots DID release outside of Japan tho! Only the home console ports didn't!
Correction. Cyberbots was released outside of japan. Just not in home consoles until the new collection.
I have literally played all these games in my childhood and baby they need to make time for these gems
Star Gladiator is *criminally* underrated, and SFA3 is the greatest SF OF ALL TIME.
Correction 2 is better. Lol
There are a few discrepancies I'd like to address with the video:
1. The Capcom test DOES work, in fact Kazuhiro Tsuchiya has gone on record to saying that the reason why Mega Man 11 was possible was because of the sales of the first two Legacy Collections, even Legacy Collection 2 had a subtle teaser for MM11. Thing is, Capcom doesn't want to invest in franchises that aren't Street Fighter, Resident Evil and Monster Hunter... Thankfully, Mega Man Battle Network collection was announced this week so there's still some hope for the Blue Bomber.
2. Speaking of Mega Man, there is a CPS2 version of the Power Battle that was never released outside of Japan and only saw a PS2 release, but if you wanna get more obscure, Rockman Battle & Fighters is actually a port of the games that was only released in the NeoGeo Pocket, and again stayed exclusive to Japan. Given how SNK rereleased SvC Match of the Millennium and the Card Fighters, it's a question of Capcom giving the green light for not only the license but a translation.
3. And speaking of Japan only games, Cyberbots DID get released in English, It was only the Sega Saturn version that stayed in Japan with the exclusive Z-Gouki, which if you know, you know.
but yes, other than that, I 100% agree with this list. Tech Romancer is awesome as heck, Maki is waifu and deserves to dominate in more Street Fighter games and a port of Rival Schools is long overdue at this point.
I would love to see a new Red Earth game. I feel Red Earth is a fighting game version of D&D and a modern version would pull in a big chunk of that Fandom especially if Capcom took advantage of D&D 5e's Open Game License. Add well know/established monster and adventurer types to build out a new character roster. Feel like it would do really well with how big D&D is now a days. Still have a boss rush mode with unique/exclusive features to help teach the base mechanics of the game. Pull a few of the previous bosses to be playable (they have in the past). Build up an arcade mode and even a Campaign Mode (a story/stories mode you could play online with friends, have branching story paths based off the party's decisions (adds replayability), unlock new items/weapons/spell scrolls, level up, etc.). Seems like Street Fighter 6 might have a create a fighter option, could do the same here with create a PC (Playable Character)/Adventurer option. Have different classes (wizard, barbarian, paladin, etc.) and fantasy races to make your PC just like in D&D.
Those are their english names for Ring of Destruction. In the japanese releases they are Kimala the Bouncer, Titan the Great and Aleksey Zalazof respectively.
Holy shit Thorgi is on a tear with the content time to watch another banger!
Yes yes yes! I want Tech Romancer because I'm a mech head. But I want the full uncut Rival Schools collection more than any other fighter. So damn good!
I’m kind of surprised that you didn’t mention Darkstalkers Chronicles since it’s the one version that has all the characters in one place.
Home run again with Power Stone..its so marvelous..arena fighter is the right description. This is the type of game I'd play online.not street fighter, where people t are that too seriously
Your energy for loving capcom fgs is matched by me looool 😆😆😎
The collection is great. I would love to try star gladiator
Sengoku Basara X is one of those obscure games I purchased last month. Due to this famous nerd fighting website called.
Fighters Generation. And your channel and Vesper, Maximilian, Justin Wong. And the super ultra nerd fighting gamer Aubue who shows us character selection screen of tons of obscure fighting games. I recently brought Hard knock fighting school on PS2 for decent price $70 which was considering this game goe for hundreds of dollars on ebay and amazon and other stores. Basara X I purchased for $20 which blew my mind on ebay because it was the special deluxe edition. Only thing which suckes was it's all in japanese. Love watching Thorgi video's, took a little while to get over his Advert sales pitch type of tone.
I remember when a friend brought a bootleg copy of Rival Schools over and we played it. That was the day I knew I had to get a legit copy and I didn't regret it. To be honest, the Capcom Test is just an April Fool's prank they used even after April Fool's Day.
You should see what Capcom announced last night
They are remaking Power Stone.
Post Disney buying Lucasfilm ten years ago and announcing they were planning to make Star Wars movies forever, I’m almost surprised Capcom didn’t do anything at all with their Star Wars knockoff series Star Gladiator. If ever there was a time for Capcom to release another Star Gladiator game, or any Star Gladiator game really, it seems like it was between the years 2013 and 2019...especially in that time people were dying for a new Star Wars game and EA was basically doing nothing.
