Capcom may be looking ahead, with Street Fighter 6 introduced and Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak the next big thing for Switch owners, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have time for some classics. We were already introduced to the Darkstalkers heavy (and that’s not a complaint in the slightest) Capcom Fighting Collection, and a new trailer has arrived to signal that pre-orders are open.
If you have even just a passing familiarity with Capcom’s arcade history, definitely have this on your radar. It’s the first time Red Earth is getting some kind of non-arcade release, Cyberbots is criminally slept on, and both Gem Fighter and Puzzle Fighter have a ton of charm to them.
Capcom Fighting Collection will be available June 24th on Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam. Pre-ordering will get you some extra music tracks and artworks as well, adding onto that trove of content these classics are bringing back.
