Power Stone Collection is a fighting game compilation developed and published by Capcom, released for the PlayStation Portable in 2006. The collection includes both Power Stone and Power Stone 2, originally arcade and Dreamcast titles, brought together in a single package with enhancements and new features tailored for portable play.
The gameplay is characterized by fast-paced 3D arena combat where players control colorful characters in interactive environments. Fighters collect power stones during battles to transform into more powerful versions of themselves, gaining access to special moves. The PSP version supports both single-player and multiplayer via ad hoc wireless play and features additional content such as new weapons and unlocked characters not present in the original games.
The collection was generally well-received by critics. Reviewers praised the quality of the original games, their transition to handheld format, and the inclusion of both titles with added features. Some minor criticisms were aimed at camera controls and occasional performance dips, but overall, Power Stone Collection is considered a successful portable adaptation. The game holds strong scores on review aggregators like Metacritic.
This collection was exclusive to the PSP and marked the first time both Power Stone titles were released together outside of the Dreamcast, preserving a cult-classic series for a new audience.
