Does anyone have a memory of the game Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein? The sequel sent wild shivers down players’ spines when it dared venture into the arcade host realms twenty-seven years ago.
It’s back! Capcom just made the announcement this morning that Plasma Sword is coming to the Capcom Fighting Collection 2, which will start selling on May 16, 2025. This collection is ready for online enjoyment, boasting rollback netcode. That’s right. Online battles with smooth, lag-free action. Who’s ready to relive the glory?
Plasma Sword was the last decade of the 90s. The unfortunate product between funky sci-fi type ambience and frenetic combat – an automatic quarter dispenser. The kind of game that made quarters pour down a slot like you fell asleep in the arcade before waking up.
Since bringing it to modern times and making it so easy to jump into action, Capcom will surely get participation from younger players and the old-timers who want a piece of gaming history. Almost certainly, rollback netcode will play a huge role. Any fighting game aficionado will tell you:
This is huge for online matches-fighting loves can no longer use the excuse of lag for their losses. Rollback makes every move feel the same crisp, responsive way it did in the arcade. Huge win for community and testament that Capcom actually listens to what players want.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 seems pretty solid to be among those must-have collections for fighting game diehards. Plasma Sword is just the beginning. Which other classics are going to be tucked away under this little gem? There is excitement for sure, and May 2025 can’t come soon enough. Get your skill back into fighting form, and dive into the nightmare of Bilstein!.
