Sega and other companies have released remastered classics. Capcom Arcade Cabinet is Capcom’s answer to this trend. They have gathered up a huge number of different classic games. They will also be adding new co-op and casual modes. Overall this seems like a very nice package for retro fans.
The Capcom Arcade Cabinet Strategy
These games vary greatly. They have everything from Shmups such as 1943 to platformers like Ghosts and Goblins. Even early beat-em-ups like Avengers are in here. It seems that the strategy of the Capcom Arcade Cabinet is eventually to release all their old games.
The Games of the Capcom Arcade Cabinet Lineup
The games will be coming in packs for you on PSN and XBLA. Let us go down them quickly for you:
- Black Tiger, Avengers and 1943 will be out February 19-20th for $4.99 USD.
- Ghosts and Goblins, Gun Smoke and Section Z will be out March 5th for $9.99 USD.
- Side Arms, Speed Rumbler, and Exed Exes will be out March 19-20th for $9.99 USD.
- Commando, Legendary Wings and Trojan will be coming out April 2nd for $9.99 to $3.99 USD.
- 1942, SonSon, and Pirate Ship Higemaru will be out April 16th for prices between $3.99 to $9.99 USD.
Finally there will be an all-in-one pack for $29.99 USD on May 21st, so you may want to get that. If you get all the titles then you get 2 bonus titles. Of course it is up to you whether you want these. They will probably hold little appeal for some. However hardcore retro fans will likely see 30 dollars as a good deal.
Where to get the Capcom Arcade Cabinet
Obviously you will be able to download these on PSN and Xbox Live. As usual be sure to check out Capcom Unity for more information. We have to wonder whether all these various packs will come in one huge package some day.
