This is the final game in the Capcom Generation series but if you are fiend for nostalgia and a fan of Capcom then don't worry because this series seems to have evolved into the "Capcom Classics Collection" and various other compilations that still continue to be released. Capcom Generation 5 is peculiar because it's actually just Street Fighter Collection 2. What makes no sense is the FIRST Street Fighter Collection actually has BETTER games in the series on it and this one is just 3 different versions of Street Fighter II.
Capcom may have gotten away with this years ago when we didn't really know any better and just bought every installment of the same game over and over but if they were going to make a collection out of it they could have at least put EVERY version of Street Fighter II on the disk. The disk would hold WAY MORE than just the 3 games on it but they all cap out at 3 games for some reason. Street Fighter II is a classic and they added some features like being able to unlock the original CPS soundtracks, but the hidden game modes like "CPU Battle" and "Super Vs. Mode" don't really add much to the gameplay.
THE GOOD -Street Fighter is one of the better games Capcom has produced and Street Fighter II was kind of it's magnum opus so I can understand why this would be attractive to gamers.
THE BAD -Putting 3 versions of the same game especially when it's only the versions with minor tweaks on a collection like this is pretty ridiculous. They could have shown the growth in Street Fighter by offering the best available versions of each Street Fighter game that had come out, at that point. I give this game a, 3.5 out of 10 CAPCOM FANDOM PURPOSES ONLY
