Gameplay
"Masterful"
Each game in the collection has its own systems, from snappy 2D versus to 3D arena brawls. The modern netcode finally does justice to these demanding mechanics, offering a variety of competitive gameplay few compilations match.
The arcade bosses gathered here stayed legendary for their unfair difficulty: overpowered final bosses, merciless input reading, tension spikes that marked generations of players. Revisiting them with rewind and online play revives a biting nostalgia.
Better with friends
A fighting game comes into its own with company: frantic bouts on the couch, endless rematches and guaranteed laughter. The modern netcode extends that conviviality online, making the collection a superb arena for duels among friends.
