Fighting Game Collections

[@RaitoADV]

Some info about most of the SNK PS2 collections: - The reason most of them share the same UI was because they were released under the "NeoGeo Online Collection" series of compilations in Japan. The American releases dropped the line and released them as if they were standalone games. - As the japanese name implies, they were collections of the games with online features, but they were removed in the overseas versions. - ALL of the games featured in these collections are ports, not emulation. This allowed SNK to add online as well as some extra content, like the Neo Geo CD arranged soundtracks, and other minor features. Sadly the sound effects were downgraded for some reason. - The input delay isn't a thing in these collections, so the problem is probably your TV setup.

[@sandamfox]

yeah, playing them on a crt doesn't feel bad, at least on the games I've tried.

[@kitestar]

The arranged versions featured in the NESTS saga are also the dreamcast ports, they aren’t new. They also implemented the extra strikers in one of them removing the requirement of linking a NGPC to the game

[@MrXabungle]

Terminal Reality developed Orochi Saga, SNK Archives Vol 1, Metal Slug Anthology and SamSho Anthology. These collections emulated the Neo Geo MVS versions than the other collections which were ports.

[@Shockbrawler]

I liked that you mentioned KI Gold in rare replay, the KI games included with the definition edition. People didn't knew about that honestly. I do wish for tekken, sega and either 3d capcom fighters to be a collection but those itself are dream requests. Awesome work on this video!

[@baberuthless]

Capcom releasing a 3D collection would be incredible and I do hope they see value in doing that

[@Marzimus]

Could you imagine it ~> Rival Schools and Power Stone in one place.. 🤤

[@robertwarf3316]

That definitive edition is something else. Love it

[@Shockbrawler]

@baberuthless they really have to. Those games need a chance, and if Red Earth had that opportunity to be in the capcom fighting collection,then i hope it can be the same for the 3d games too

[@RandomisedGamingYouTube]

Thanks for the mention when you use our footage, feel free to get in contact as we are always happy to let other channels use our footage. Dee is a really interesting character to play as, he was meant to be the main character in the next Darkstalkers game, sadly we are still waiting on that one. Also should mention as a bit of trivia, but the Japanese version of the Alpha Anthology, Zero Fighter's Generation has a few extra versions not found on the western one like the original Japanese release of Alpha 2. It's not widely mentioned but that collection has some interesting dipswitch extras and also give Cody an extra punch move not seen in any other version. That collection is far superior to the 15th Anni one which unfortunately had a number of emulation issues.

[@baberuthless]

Thank you so much! I will certainly reach out! Also it’s a shame we couldn’t get that follow up with Dee or even that character in the psp version of Darkstalkers.

[@RandomisedGamingYouTube]

@@baberuthless Yes it would be nice to see both Marionette & Shadow turned into proper fighters (both are also in the PS2 collection) along with a fully playable stand alone Anita, can only hope Darkstalkers 4 appears at some point in the future.

[@baberuthless]

@RandomisedGamingKZbin perhaps one day…

[@Polymathically]

I was game reviewer during the PS2/GameCube era. I was lucky enough to have SNK as one of the studios who always sent me their titles. So I got to have all those awesome Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury, King of Fighters Orochi Saga, World Heroes, Samurai Showdown, and Arcade Classics compilations, on top of the standalone KOFs, NGBC, and the Metal Slug Anthology. PS2 also had Capcom Classics, Street Fighter Alpha Anthology and Anniversary Collection, the last of which was my introduction to 3rd Strike. And that's aside from the other compilations, like Tekken 5, Activision and Atari Anthologies, Intellivison Lives, Mega Man Anniversary/X Collection, Sega Classics/Genesis Collection, Sonic Mega/Gems, Namco, Midway, Taito... God, I miss those days... Edit: I've played an ungodly amount of hours on SF 30th Anniversary on PC, but only because it's the only current platform I have access to. They are indeed straight rips of the arcade versions, complete with all the glitches, but otherwise pathetically barebones. I was so disappointed when I found out it didn't have any of the cool additional game modes like in the previous collections. I'm one of the few left on there that still plays 3rd Strike ranked. The definite version of 3rd Strike is still Online Edition, just for the sheer variety of color palettes, system options, and superior netcode and lobby designs. I'm really happy with Capcom Fighting Collection, mainly because I missed out on Darkstalkers and Red Earth back in the day. The new Samurai Shodown Collection is excellent as well. I also picked up the TMNT Collection for the sake of nostalgia when it was on sale, but those fighting games are _way_ more janky than I remember.

[@baberuthless]

I do wish alpha 2 was playable online since it very biased towards that game in particular!

[@RadikaRules]

@@baberuthless Honestly, given the Alpha competitive scene has 2 as it's pillar, it's baffling they didn't do it. Instead, non-Super Tubo SF 2 gets it too. For some reason

[@kumaradio5414]

One thing to notice about the 15th anniversary verion of 3rd Strike is that due to complaints about balancing changes in the dreamcast version, Capcom reverted the balance back to the arcade version making it the closest arcade home port until Online Edition

[@PTminatoPT]

wrong! the ps2 version is actually a better port! There´s a reason why ALL tournaments were using the ps2 version instead of the DC port! Evo moment 37? Yep,ps2 version!

[@kumaradio5414]

@@PTminatoPT the 15th anniversary version is the ps2 port

[@swarthybullxxx]

​@@PTminatoPTsorry but that's wrong. EVO 2K4 was the last EVO to use arcade hardware. If you watched the full Daigo vs Wong set, you'll see that the game returns to character select after the match. Something that's only seen in the arcade version if the dipswitches are set to Event.

[@krono5el]

Never give up hope on a Marvel vs Capcom collection, it has to happen.

[@baberuthless]

I’d like to think so!

[@impulse_xs]

The Mouse will never allow it sadly.

[@kylewood4488-b9r]

​@@impulse_xsThe Mouse is going be bankrupt eventually. They keep losing money because they cater to the Leftist propaganda. They don't care about making good movies or entertainment anymore. They are using their IPs to spew garbage. I hope they sell Marvel and Star Wars when they do go bankrupt because most people outside of Hollywood and Disney themselves would do 100 times better job using them.

[@chiefthunderhorse4430]

​@@impulse_xsIf Arcade 1up can manage to pull it off, Capcom has the resources to do so if they felt it would be profitable

[@frozenray0079]

The licensing issues would be a nightmare neither company would likely care to deal with. But I hope I'm wrong. 🙏 Capcom doesn't comprehend how much revenue they would generate from a MvC collection, whether they split the collections in half with three titles on each, four titles on each (if they included Children of the Atom and MSH), or even just the first four titles from X-Men VS. To Marvel 2.

[@grgmj1980]

I personally love those Street Fighter collections for the ps1. First time we got an accurate arcade ports.

[@luizkorynga]

13:56 because they are not ports (just the arcade versions with online) 19:02 There are people who would count Tekken Hydrid as a """""collection""""" 33:13 because all these collections are from the NeoGeo Online Collection that only came out in Japan (that's why they have these same menus), apart from the Last Blade one and the Sunsoft fighting games too 36:52 are the ps2 ports in the collection 37:46 only 6 was missing, to be the definitive collection of the SamSho mainline Excellent video btw

[@georgeliquor1236]

Yes, that MVC Origins trailer was sick as hell. I would rewatch it all the time as a kid to hype me up. Great video as always.

[@baberuthless]

Technically the best version! Just on psp…

[@TheSeventhForce]

​@@baberuthlessStill, just ordered a copy thanks to this! PSP is just about the worst place to put such a local multiplayer centric game though, yeah.

[@DAv2003]

A good run down of all the different fighting game collections here and how they match with each other. Having the anime movie on the Street Fighter collection was a big selling point for me back when I first got it and was a lot of fun all round.

[@baberuthless]

Same here watched that movie to death when I was a kid!

[@radiak55]

I agree, the Sam Sho collection is the best so far. I do hope that these types of collections keep getting made as it's the best option outside of having a large WiiWare type of online store. I think collections can do far better than just placing the game on a digital store for the many quality of life changes that can help the game be modernized, either training mode and replay options for learning optimization or just fun extras and unseen content.

[@baberuthless]

Totally agree and being able to play them online can help a small scene for these games flourish!

[@brianparker5323]

Great look back at these collections. I have some of them, but am kicking myself about missing some back in the day. Adding to the list off the top of my head. The KoF and Samsho collections were on the PSP as well, and the loading times were so frequent and long that it made them extremely frustrating. The Breakers collection came out as well if you like obscure but solid fighters from the 90s.

[@Stix19x]

29:49 🎶 It might seem crazy what I'm about to say 🎶

[@MistaMaddog247]

Great video! I used to buy these game collections for PS1 & PS2 before I got into MAME. Having everything now digital means you don't get collections but have to buy games separately. For that I'm glad Digital Eclipse still does compilations, yes they've stumbled in the past but got their stride back with Atari 50.

[@tasseiviews2947]

Very comprehensive video! If I'm not being too honest, at first I was thinking "Why does this guy use a girl voice-over, it's kinda weird." A few clicks further, I found to my surprise that's it actually a girl (/woman) talking this in depth about these (mostly) older fighting game collections. No negativity in any way intended though, I think it's great!

Dude this reminded me that dead or alive even existed I had completely forgot about it 😂 great vid man. ❤

[@no64256]

It's nice to listen to somebody just nerd out about this sorta stuff. But I was surprised you didn't include Tekken Hybrid, even if I'm not sure it counts as a collective. It has Tekken Tag HD, the movie Tekken Blood Vengeance, and a demo of Tag 2 with exclusive costumes based on the movie Sidenote: wasn't the imperfect emulation of Primal Rage due to some weird copy protection that cut out features? Then again i wouldn't doubt the collection had subpar emulation in general

[@baberuthless]

With tekken hybrid I probably would classify that as a collection since tekken tag 2 I would call just a demo and the other thing is a movie. BUT I will talk about that particular game in a future video 😁

[@Riz_]

Thank you for this video @Baberuthless, I really enjoyed it. I keep meaning to buy that Capcom collection with Darkstalkers in it, as I think tthe Darkstalker series is so slept on. I had one of the early street fighter collections, the best thing about it was the Christmas/jewellery shop music in the gallery mode. The news is that the new Killer instinct update which I think is called anniversary addition will have the first and second Killer instincts included. I would love a collection of Mortal Kombat 1 through 4, but at this point think it's very unlikely. Even the 3D era would be fun. Finally I agree with you, if a series has 2 games then you can call it a pack but a collection has to be 3 or more games.

[@baberuthless]

Thanks for watching! Also yes the word pack needs to be used if it’s just 2 games dang it. Very much recommend the Capcom fighting collection!

Great video, as always ! I would just say that the SamSho collection missed the episode VI... I know it was supposed to be a Neo Geo collection, but at this point, missing the best of all the previous iterations before the 2019 version was a missing opportunity! But anyway, that's cool! Thanks for your super work!

[@markle182]

I miss this collections fighting game and I like the content of your videos I'm feel old but Gold to fighting :p but keep up the good work I like the lore stages vids especially the stories itself ^_^

[@SandwitchZebra]

You offhandedly mentioned it because Killer Instinct Gold is in it, which justifies me in talking about it; Rare Replay is literally PEAK game collection 30 games, most of which are either integral to gaming history or are classics, including even the company’s relative low points. A bevy of dev interviews, behind the scenes looks, looks at unreleased projects and unused music. Rewind and save state systems for the older, less polished games so they aren’t stupid hard. Highly detailed menus that celebrate the games they represent. An entire list of milestones/achievements that actually encourages you to try out and complete each and every one of the games to reward you with said bonus content. I 100%ed Rare Replay, and I don’t regret a second of it. That should be what companies strive for. Something that doesn’t just make me feel like “oh cool I’m playing some old games”, but something that makes me feel like I’m walking through history as it happens.

[@baberuthless]

I love that collection! One of the best ever for sure. I remember trying to beat battle toads and even with the rewind I still couldn’t 😅

[@iwdm1313]

Great video as always! As someone who love collection titles, I hope more companies do these and do them well. Persevering titles and making them convenient to play is a win-win in my book.

[@Rhino-n-Chips]

The PS2 era was a super frustrating time to get these collections. Some, like Alpha Anthology went above and beyond, like putting in Alpha 3 upper, and Gem fighter. Then you have Midway collection, which I played endlessly, and for no apparent reason, they used MK3 over UMK3. It never appeared in other collections at the time, so it was maddening that the game which in my opinion fixed every issue of the prior game was left out. And while I get that the SNK collections had bad UI & emulation issues, at least you guys got to play them! At least where I am in Europe, I could never find them, and my only exposure to KOF was Neowave, which I would say was 2004's only glorified mugen compilation sold in stores, but Capcom Fighting Jam came out later.

[@no64256]

Isn't Neowave just a subpar re-hash of KoF '02 they made to test new hardware? Imagine picking that up at a store when you already had a copy of 2002

[@Giran_0]

Hyper Street fighter alpha will probably be my favorite SF game until the end of time it's nice to see someone else knows it exists and that they like it as well

[@LOL-gn5oh]

Interesting fact: Street Fighter Alpha Anthology is the ONLY release that has the CPS2 version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, which is considered the most "pristine" version of this game. The PS1 version is the most butchered one (if you exclude the GBA version), with fewer animation frames, worse visual effects and poor audio quality. The Naomi/Dreamcast version has pixel scalling problems, some characters' animation frames are missing (eg. T.Hawk's backwards walk animation) and has the worst input lag. The Sega Saturn version is almost arcade perfect. The PSP version is based on the Dreamcast version, which carries the same problems. It is unclear why Capcom decided to port the game to the Naomi arcade boards instead of releasing to their proprietary CPS2 boards.

[@KenMasters.]

I heard Capcom had to port SFA3 over to the Sega NAOMI board because the CPS2 isn’t powerful enough to run that complete version, so they had to remove Guile, T. Hawk, Fei Long and Dee Jay from the roster.

[@HybridAngelZero]

Game compilations have been some of my absolute favorite releases, and are responsible for introducing me to some of my favorite games, especially when it comes to fighters. Moving forward, I hope console versions of some of these games can start to be included, too. Games like the PSone Marvel vs Capcom 1 or the 16-bit SamSho or Fatal Fury games are really fun to revisit, and would just add more value (and more nostalgia) to a lot of these

[@baberuthless]

I do hope capcom would release more home version of their old games but I think sadly they will stick with their arcade versions since it might be easier

[@HybridAngelZero]

And I appreciate you love and concern for Street Fighter 1, which yeah...Capcom loves to pretend doesn't exist. Adding Eagle in CvS2 doesn't really make it up. I also kinda wondered why SNK decided to make its two Battle Archives collections on the PS2 uneven. Since the first Archives had four Fatal Fury games, they could have added Dominated Mind, Wild Ambition, or Mark of the Wolves to the second Archives, thus giving that four games as well. Or they could have just put all seven games together on one disc since that's basically what they did with the SamSho and Metal Slug anthologies, each having 7 titles (I think). Anyways :D Love to see this!

33:36 The first three World Heroes game in the collection are missing their line scrolling effect on their floors, an effect made famous by Street Fighter II. Since no other fighting games on the Neo Geo have line scrolling floors, the emulation of this hardware effect was either omitted as an oversight or the developers didn't bother since it was only just those three games and the first Art of Fighting logo that used it.

GOG has a 1+2+3 mortal kombat collection, MK Trilogy and MK4; but they're actually the original DOS and Windows versions released on 3.5" Floppies and CD-ROMs with some patches to let it run on on modern versions of Windows and I think a bit more controller support. That means no netplay beyond Hamachi remote play stuff, and no bonus content like art or music, but they are interesting versions if you're into contemporary PC arcade ports.

Great video! Regarding why they chose the Saturn version of DoA1 in DoA Ultimate, IIRC Itagaki considers the Saturn version as the best version in regards to balance and gameplay and that's why he picked that for the combo pack.

I kinda have a love hate relationship with them only because on paper I love it but the fact that you can’t add games or upgrade your machine in anyway with how high their prices are drives me nuts

[@xXspringsXx]

Awesome video you earned a new subscriber… I have almost every fighting game collection on ps4 an their mainly what I play and my roommates think I’m weird and it’s a shame because I have 2 fight sticks… Just bought samuria shodown collection and it’s amazing so far… I just hate how some come with ps2 versions and graphics rather than original arcade graphics… you better marry someone who appreciates you!

[@trafalgar47official66]

By the sheer number of SFII versions and ports alone on various lines of collections, the last remnants of video games will probably be some iteration of Street Fighter on some busted CD-ROM in 30XX

[@baberuthless]

Haha true! That or Doom

[@TheRedlotusblossom]

I bought the Atari 50 collection as well mainly because I was attracted at the idea of having so many Atari games in one collection but I'll be honest I haven't played it as much as I thought

[@fanaze]

You could argue that the PS3 has the Fighting Collection with Tekken6, TTT2 and SoulCaliburV... But it just was one of those PS3 collections that had the 3 games blunded into the disc. Better that the Hybrid one with TTT1 and the movie tho.

[@ramonhuerta6172]

Super cool video! I also dream with a collection of the Capcom Versus SNK series on Steam!

[@baberuthless]

That would be cool! One can only hope 🤞

[@ramonhuerta6172]

@@baberuthless btw I just heard The Vampire Saga and the Castlevania vibes are mad high, also and the SFX in Slayer intro where he sucks Sharon is castlevania I think haha

[@VinDieselXXX]

14:27 that's a great subject for another video. "What is the best way to play older fighting games online?" Console, Steam, Fightcade? Like where is everyone? SF30th annv is 6 years old but im shocked you cant find third strike matches.

[@fortunes_youtube]

So grateful I snagged the MK collection, MvC 2, and Jojo HFTF on PS3. MvC 2 was the very first thing I got for my PS3 12 years ago alongside BlazBlue Continuum Shift. Sadly couldn't snag Origins in time.

[@baberuthless]

I was lucky will all except Jojo…

[@thegaminghellyoutubething]

nice video! i tend to be a bit forgiving of more modern collections not having things present in the console versions- they usually run on emulation rather than porting the game from scratch, making it a lot more difficult to add stuff that wasn't in the original arcade versions beyond quality-of-life things (although full props to capcom fighting collection for including colour-blindness options for puzzle fighter). some games definitely suffer more for it- cyberbots in particular has a bunch of extras in the ps1 and saturn ports like playable boss pilots (including devilotte) and zero-gouki as a playable mech that aren't in the capcom fighting collection version- but i apreciate that those assets aren't necessarily easy to plug into an emulated version of the game, if they even still have those assets they can still use. also, i didn't realise the japanese version of the kof orochi collection was missing '94- my guess is that it was cut because snk had released a remake of the game, '94 re-bout, and i guess they wanted people to buy that instead, especially since it also included the neo geo version. i must admit i was really disappointed with the modern samurai shodown collection- the extras are very nice for sure but there's no training mode for any of the games, navigating the move lists takes way too long to scroll for some reason and the rollback netcode must be in name only because playing with a friend of mine who live in the same part of the country (the uk, so not even a state away in us terms) was just impossible, it was running in slow motion. we generally stick with the code mystics ports for snk games as the netcode is top quality. oh well!

[@baberuthless]

Oh shit your right the Sam show collection I don’t remember having a training mode?! Damn that’s a huge mark against the collection in my eyes. Also I do get why they don’t include home ports but really I just want my mecha Gouki in cyberbots 😭

[@HealyHQ]

We definitely need more collection titles. Gaming archival is important!

[@brichan1851]

I am wishful (but not hopeful as I know it’s so unlikely) of a Capcom Vs. compilation. Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom (USA edition), Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Capcom Vs. SNK 2, and Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter (Japanese edition) top my list. I’m also dying to play SNK Vs. Capcom SVC Chaos again; whether in a compilation or on its own.

[@NewGabeOrder]

35:57 I thought '94 is a self-contained prologue to the KOF series as a whole. '95 started the Orochi saga with the introduction of Iori and whatever spoilers that are in the game's ending.

[@Cyberlinkueienthusiast]

0:45 Personally I think it is the mk1+2 combo pack on the of gb

[@OmegaCorsair]

God we Need a Capcom vs SNK Collection so bad.

[@baberuthless]

Very much so

[@OmegaCorsair]

@@baberuthless GUESS WHAT

[@Chelaxim]

There was a PAL PS3 compilation called Fighting Edition it had Tekken 6,Tekken Tag Turnomemt 2 and Soulcalibur V on a single disc.

[@baberuthless]

Yup the ps3 version is one disc which is awesome! Another pal exclusive collection!

[@kingtron1]

Oh, I just realized you skipped one, but it's understandable. ADK Damashii has two fighting games out of the five in the collection. One of them is Aggressors of Dark Kombat and the other is Ninja Master's: Haou Ninpou Chou, which was ended up being ADK's last fighting game since a World Heroes game was planned but not able to come out for the Neo-Geo Pocket Color. Also, Capcom should also team up with Arika to release a Street Fighter EX Collection as well, with all the different variations too. ^w^
