Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection (ヴァンパイア ダークストーカーズコレクション, Vanpaia Dākusutāzu Korekushon) is a compilation of all five Darkstalkers arcade games that were released in Japan only for the PlayStation 2 in 2005.[2] Darkstalkers Collection was also released together with Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition as part of one of the Value Pack compilations for the PS2 in 2008 in Japan.[3]
This compilation features the original arcade versions of the games, as well as hidden arranged versions of the three Vampire Savior games, which introduce a corrupt dhampir version of Donovan, Dee, as a secret playable character with his own storyline.
IGN called it "one of the finest compilations ever" and a "true, wait-free arcade perfection".[4] Siliconera stated that "the fighting engine has aged considerably. It's really designed for people who love the series and Capcom's more traditional 2D fighters".[5]
