BOTTOM LINE

|
First
Impression: |
OVER 25 YEARS after
the original release of Warzard / Red Earth...
an entire quarter century later... Capcom is finally releasing a
localized console version!
As a reminder, for nearly 2 decades, there was literally no way for fans outside
of Japan to experience this game. (The timing is kind of ironic,
since emulation has made the game playable online in recent times.)
However, with Practice Mode and other new features, Capcom Fighting
Collection will be the definitive way to experience the game.
For me, Red Earth is definitely the star of the show. However, paired with
ALL 5 main installments to the Darkstalkers
series, Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition, Cyberbots,
Pocket Fighter (Super Gem Fighter), and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
with Rollback online modes for all 10 games... Capcom Fighting
Collection is a very attractive compilation offering a look into some
rare and underrated Capcom gems.
Worth mentioning, Pocket Fighter and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
feature a variety of Red Earth characters and cameos, so it's a very
fitting compilation. "Yeah, that makes sense!" For the first
ever home version of Red Earth alone, it's worth a buy!
