Overview

Capcom Fighting Collection is a fighting game compilation by Capcom in celebration of the Street Fighter series' 35th anniversary. The collection includes arcade versions of ten games originally released by Capcom between 1994 and 2003, including all five Darkstalkers games. It was released in June 2022 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. A follow-up focusing on the Marvel vs. Capcom series, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, was released in 2024, while a direct sequel, Capcom Fighting Collection 2, was released in 2025.

Capcom Fighting Collection is a compilation of arcade versions of nine fighting games and one puzzle game originally developed and published by Capcom. Most prominently, all five arcade entries in the Darkstalkers franchise are included, marking the first time the full series was made available outside Japan. The collection also includes Red Earth for its first ever release outside arcades. The compilation features online play with rollback netcode, training and spectator modes, save states, concept art, design documents, and a music player. Since the titles featured in the compilation are based on the original arcade releases, they lack the added content featured in the home console versions of certain titles, such as Vampire Savior, Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness, and Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix.

Capcom Fighting Collection was announced following a countdown timer that was published concurrently during the Season Final of Capcom Pro Tour 2021, alongside the reveal of Street Fighter 6, on February 20, 2022, and was released on June 24, 2022 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. A physical edition was distributed worldwide, while a physical bundle of it and Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection were also released exclusively in Japan. A digital "Capcom Fighting Bundle" featuring both Fighting Collection and 30th Anniversary Collection was available on all platforms from launch until May 2025, by which point it was replaced by a bundle of both Fighting Collection and Capcom Fighting Collection 2, which was released that month.

Capcom Fighting Collection received "generally favorable" reviews, on review aggregator platform Metacritic.
