We’ve got more information on all ten games included in Capcom Fighting Collection here. Today, we’re talking about two absolute gems in this collection. It’s all fun and games until someone gets an 8-chain. Are you still puzzled? Well, let’s get you up to speed with…

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (1996)

For many, this game needs no introduction, but for those who aren’t familiar, Super Puzzle Fighter II TurboTakes familiar faces from Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, and a few other Capcom fighting games, and smashes them together in… a puzzle game!

Instead of directly attacking your opponent, you’re dropping gems on a board to crush your opponent. Matching a Crash Gem to the same colour will cause all connected gems to be destroyed. Your chibi-fied characters can then unleash their unique moves. In classic puzzle game style, the person whose stack reaches the top of the screen will lose the round… and in classic fighting game style, whoever wins two bouts first wins the match! It’s brains over brawn in this one, so you’ll need to carefully position individual gem drops to create even larger gems, use cascading Crash Gems to trigger combos, and send plenty of Counter Gems over to your opponent before they have a chance to retaliate!

Each character is unique in the number of Counter Gems they can send to their opponents. It’s important to choose the right character for you strategy. Playing against the CPU will also display unique – and typically outlandish – story introductions and endings for each character. Where will Ken’s quest for fortune and fame lead him? Felicia can Felicia reach the Broadway stage! Ryu can find the answers in the heart (puzzle?) battle. There’s only one way to find out!

Legend says that Saikyo-style masters are also playable. However, you might be seeing red if you choose him to your character.

Super Gem Fighter Mini Max (1997)

The chibi look is my favorite! Super Puzzle Fighter II TurboEnjoy the fighting, but not the singing? With the help of Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix! There are a number of characters that can be reconstructed from miniatures. Puzzle FighterA few people are also new, Gem Fighter It’s a mix of fight game style and bizarre additions to what you thought you knew about head-to-head play.

In traditional fighting game style, you’ll have access to a punch button, a kick button, and a variety of special moves… but that’s where the similarities end. You can execute combos with one button, or multiple punches. This allows you to put together attacks and let your character go through an endless array of animations.

Gems are also sent flying everywhere when an attack connects with an enemy. Picking up gems will power up your special abilities and can have unique effects on moves as well, such as transforming Ryu’s shoryuken into a stunning electric uppercut. You’ll also want to keep an eye out for health-restoring items, orbs you can toss at opponents, and all sorts of Capcom references in character animations, KOs, background elements, and more. With gems flying everywhere, items that can turn a match around, and moves that power up over the course of a match, it’s a game that fighters of all skill levels can enjoy!

That’s all for now, but if you’re ready to put that quarter on the machine with an “I got next,” be sure to pre-order Capcom Fighting Collection so you’re ready to crush it on June 24 when the 10-game collection drops on the Xbox Store!
