Alrighty then, fighting game lovers, sit tight! Only five days left for the actual release, and all the hype is going one level higher. And Capcom has been dribbling in art treats every day up until the actual release day. Now, that sure is marketing!
What is the art of the day? A never-before-seen artwork from Namori, who is responsible for countless iconics (yes, that @_namori_ you would know). An evil beauty with very, very extreme dynamic-energies that urges you to just pick up a controller and go mad. What else could we say? Namori and fighting games are made for each other.
On another note, this is not an isolated event. Daily pieces of art are released by Capcom, each one from a different heavyweight illustrator. So it’s a countdown, but a hundred times cooler thanks to the art. And judging by today’s reveal, it’s going to be one very rewarding visual feast for the next few days.
So what’s in the collection? In case you missed the memo, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is that nostalgic throwback of the classic arcade brawlers’ era, where classic fighters got thrown together for a mod touch-up. Touch netcode, graphics, and probably raise a bit too much sodium for your 90s heart to handle. And yup! Pre-orders are live, and the tweet conveniently has the link for you to lock your copy in before all hell breaks loose.
Now, what does this mean to you? Because Capcom is doing more than just bringing back some old rusty games, they are celebrating them. In essence, those art drops are saluting the community, the artists, and the legacy of these titles. So yeah, pure fan service, and it’s really getting people talking. The buzz is there, and if you have even a slight inkling of interest in fighters, this collection is something you want to keep an eye on.
Then, let’s not turn away from the bigger picture. Fighting games really now are having their time. Street Fighter 6 to be there launching, Tekken 8 hiding somewhere, and now this? All the good old days of throwing fists.
Save your dates, ring an alarm, create any kind of reminder-you really just cannot miss the moment Capcom Fighting Collection 2 touches the store shelves. And don’t forget the daily art reveals. You would thank me then.
