Capcom Should Put Out a Horror Game Collection Next

The Capcom Fighting Collection is a new game that collects some of the biggest fighting titles from the eponymous company's catalog. Classics like Hyper Street Fighter 2 and cutesy spin-offs like Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix are featured in the collection, as well as original artwork and a music library. It's an exciting new anthology that celebrates Capcom's long history of fighting games. Capcom also has a rich history of horror games, though, and a similarly themed collection would likely be just as successful.

Whereas Capcom's major platformer is Megaman and its biggest RPG is the Monster Hunter franchise, Capcom has published multiple hit horror games. Some series are certainly more obscure than others, but revisiting the older titles may renew fan interest and inspire new remakes. In any case, Capcom can continue the success of its various anniversary collections with a new survival horror angle.

Street Fighter 6 Has Been a Long Time Coming

Capcom's biggest horror series is hands down Resident Evil. Its first entry was originally released in 1996 for the PlayStation, and was based on one of Capcom's previous games, an adaptation of the Japanese horror film Sweet Home. While Resident Evil received a remake for the GameCube in 2002 and Resident Evil 2 received one in 2019, their original versions deserve to be preserved for new generations to experience. Many quality-of-life improvements could be made (like reducing load times during door-opening cutscenes and adding more save points), but its fixed camera angles should be preserved to maintain the original design's integrity.

Similarly, the Dead Rising games stand out as examples of Capcom's horror success and therefore should earn a spot within a collection. Even more
