The game lineup notably includes the Capcom-developed entries in the ''[[SNK vs. Capcom]]'' series, ''[[Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000]]'' and its 2001 sequel ''[[Capcom vs. SNK 2|Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001]]''. In addition, the compilation comprises early 3D Capcom fighting games ''[[Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein]]'' (1998), ''[[Power Stone (video game)|Power Stone]]'' (1999), ''[[Power Stone 2]]'', and ''[[Project Justice]]'' (both 2000), as well as the enhanced 2001 release ''[[Street Fighter Alpha 3|Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper]]'' and the [[Crossover game|crossover]] fighting game ''[[Capcom Fighting Evolution]]'' (2004).
