Capcom Fighting Collection - Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Switch

Very poor graphics quality. The games included are bad. Do not buy this.

Excelente producto, era exactamente lo que esperaba

Além do produto ser ótimo, chegou tudo certo pra mim e antes do prazo!

My review is going to exclusively talk about Dark Stalkers because that is the sole reason I bought this collection. I used to play the original Darkstalker, released in 1994, back in college and over the next three years a total of five Darkstalker games were released in the arcades and that was it. Although five games were released in a technical sense, the final two games were just modifications of Vampire Savior: World of Darkness. I didn’t realize when I bought this collection that two of the three most recent games were almost indistinguishable.Darkstalkers is really fascinating. There are comics and figures and statues and animations. Even up until today, new Darkstalker collectables are still being created. There just aren’t any new games since 1997. The closest Capcom came to a new game was in 2013, but it was still just an HD version of Vampire Hunter and Vampire Savior. Given that the Darkstalker series lasted just 3 years, it’s not surprising that the graphics and the gameplay evolved very little in that short period. There were only a handful or so of new characters added in the sequel games, but the characters are so iconic that not much else was needed.I’ve done a ton of research on Darkstalkers since buying this game and have discovered a whole new respect for the series. Darkstalkers set the standard for diverse characters. Not only are their appearances diverse but their gameplay style is radically different. Each character controls in an entirely unique manner and it goes way beyond just move set. The differences are astounding, and it really is one of the main strengths of the game. For example, if you back dash with Anakaris when he’s at the edge of the screen he will teleport to the other side of the screen. He is the only character that does that, and ALL the characters have little quirks and sometimes very large quirks. Once you establish the rules of the game, you’ll suddenly find a character that breaks a rule. I love that sort of thing. There are also a TON of game mechanics and moves that started with Darkstalkers. This is really a groundbreaking series.I’ve played many of the highest rated fighting games on the Switch including Blazblue, Under Night and Blade Strangers and I’m continually underwhelmed. One of the big problems is that it feels as if the developers constantly strive to expand the complexity as if they are being developed exclusively for tournament level players. I find myself unable to pull off many of the simpler combos in training modes and there’s not a chance in hell I can perform some of the dozen plus button combinations that often require precise timing. Fighting games is just one genre of game I enjoy but these games feel like they’re designed only for dedicated fighting fans. Darkstalkers is FAR more accessible to the casual fighting game fan then these recent fighting games. I also find the series more forgiving than the Street Fighter games from this era.It’s generally recognized the Darkstalkers peaked with Darkstalkers 3 and I would agree with that. Not only were the games groundbreaking for their time but they have also stood the test of time. I honestly enjoyed the Darkstalker games more than the fighting games released in the last decade. For various reasons, I haven’t played the heavy hitters like Street Fighter V, Mortal Kombat 11 or Smash Brothers but I really enjoyed Darkstalkers and I really enjoy all the lore. I ended up watching the four part Darkstalkers OVA and read the two hardcover Darkstalkers books. I had a heck of a time reliving these old games and they remain a joy to play.
