I think it's pretty incredible that Capcom is putting out collections like this that allow gamers now to try out some of their weirder games from the past, which would probably cost like over $500 to collect on their original systems. I'm honestly just glad to have a way to play these games that isn't ridiculously expensive, and it's great to have such impressive Capcom history in one collection. I'll go through and give some brief thoughts on each game in this series:

• Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein: A clear attempt to make a 3D fighting game the likes of early PS1 titles that just doesn't work. Everyone feels interchangeable, and even for the time, it's not one of the better titles in this weird period for fighting games.
• Power Stone: I really like how straightforward this is, and even though it gets a bit boring after a few playthroughs, not a bad experiment in trying to do something new with 3D fighting games. Still prefer Ergheiz though.
• Power Stone 2: There's definitely more going on than in the original, and I imagine this would've been a blast with a bunch of friends back in the early days of the Dreamcast. Solo though, it's fine for about an hour.
• Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Pro: I love Capcom and feel indifferent towards SNK, but this did make me appreciate some of the strange SNK characters. I like the weighted system of character selection, but it still plays strangely in SNK mode to me.
• Project Justice: I appreciate what this game is doing in terms of trying to tell a larger story through a fighting game, but it's still Capcom going through the growing pains of how they should move onto 3D fighting games.
• Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper: Lowkey the surprise killer in this set. This game is packed and, quite honestly, is in the running for my favorite Street Fighter game of the period. Just incredibly fun, and really nails everything that made Street Fighter Alpha such a great franchise, while bridging the gap towards the future.
• Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001: I can't deny this is much stronger than the first installment of this series, and I appreciate the larger cast on both sides (Samurai Shodown characters!). But again, I struggle caring about these SNK characters in the same way I do the Capcom characters.
• Capcom Fighting Evolution: A very cool idea that I wish Capcom had refined a bit more. I love them digging into their roster and pulling out some real weirdos, but it plays like all these characters were thrown into one game without any unity to make this game work.
