First
Impression: |
OVER 25 YEARS after
the original release of Warzard / Red Earth...
an entire quarter century later... Capcom finally released 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 (without going through the effort of getting a
particular emulator to work). On that note, the timing of the release is somewhat
ironic, as emulation in recent years has made it possible to play Red
Earth. However, with an authentic port of the arcade version, Practice Mode and other
great features, Capcom Fighting
Collection is perhaps 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, along with Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition, Cyberbots,
Pocket Fighter (Super Gem Fighter), and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo...
with solid Rollback online modes for all 10 games... Capcom Fighting
Collection is a very attractive and must-have compilation highlighting
some of the most 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 perfectly fitting
for Red Earth to be in the collection. "Yeah, that makes sense!" For the first
ever home version of Red Earth alone, it's worth a buy! Consider the
fact that all of the games have excellent online, training options, and cool
features / unlockables? Nuff said. Capcom Fighting Collection is simply a
must-own for your platform of choice!.I can say that the Steam version has
excellent matchmaking and smooth online!
