Cybergoth Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi there! This one here sounds mildly interesting: http://www.pushsquar...k_time_in_japan Albeit it depends on the games it'll deliver. The confirmed quartet of Black Tiger, 1942, Commando, and Trojan at least won't make me pay anything so far... Greetings, Manuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Darn. I was hoping it was an actual arcade cabinet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybergoth Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Darn. I was hoping it was an actual arcade cabinet. Fixed that. yay! another way to sell us emulated games that we've been stealing forever. If it goes beyond the titles from Capcom Classics Vol. 1 & 2 anywhere, I'll get those games. Nothing beats convenient gaming in front of the TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Official announcement from Capcom: http://www.capcom-unity.com/xantista/blog/2013/01/10/capcom-arcade-cabinet-is-coming Games list will be revealed on the February the 7th. Fingers crossed that something new is in the package 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybergoth Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 If there's something new of interest here not already on Capcom Classics Collection 1 & 2, count me in. CPS1 games that haven't been released so far are: Dynasty Wars Willow U.N. Squadron Carrier Air Wing Nemo Mega Man: The Power Battle Warriors of Fate Cadillacs and Dinosaurs The Punisher Saturday Night Slam Masters I fear that, just like before, Capcom won't invest in the licensing though, so Mega Man is probably our best bet. Another early game that might be an option is LED Storm aka Mad Gear. some free classic capcom arcade games for my 360?sounds good to me! I think it's just *one* free game - presumably Black Tiger.

cimerians Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Sounds cool I will have to check this out. Commando and I wonder if we will see Gunsmoke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) If you're not just specifically considering game's that weren't on CCC1/2, Mega Man: The Power Battle is actually on Mega Man Anniversary Collection. But I have a feeling you know that. KLOV's description of LED Storm has me hoping that one makes its way out. Bump 'n' Jump on steroids sounds like a fun game to me since I love Bump 'n' Jump. I hope they don't repeat Game Room's mistakes. Quality emulation, regular releases, low prices, and game bundles will be key to this succeeding. Also wouldn't mind seeing them gradually rerelease their 8/16 bit library of unlicensed classics on here (Since I don't think anyone expects them to ever reacquire things like Disney licenses in order to rerelease their game's based on licensed IP's). And you already know that people will whine when they realize that things like the Bionic Commando they remember playing aren't here. One free game is a step in the right direction at least. I think Game Room made a big mistake in not offering a freebie with the download of the service (Even better, I think they should've routinely been giving a freebie to keep people paying attention to the service). But I think they should've let the user select their free game here (Although at least it's a good one).

Austin Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Meh.. All Capcom needs to do is release an "Ultimate" Classics Collection disc, housing all of the games from the previous two console CC releases, along with additional games that were left out before. I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Download-only though where they are probably going to charge at least $5 a pop (c'mon, it's Capcom we're talking about here)? No thanks.

Atariboy Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 While that's certainly what I'd prefer to see, I'm still willing to buy any interesting release here that wasn't already on those two compilations. I imagine the chances are that it will be about as intriguing as the Capcom arcade releases on the Virtual Console where maybe half a dozen games appeared and then things stalled out. PSN doesn't exactly have a strong history with past programs like this which also doesn't bode well for its success (The TG16 and NeoGeo sections died almost as quickly as they appeared). But hopefully at least a arcade game or two new to modern console's makes an appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have a feeling you know that. MMAC unfortunately didn't make it to Europe, hence their release with Arcade Cabinet would be their first official release for us Also wouldn't mind seeing them gradually rerelease their 8/16 bit library of unlicensed classics on here Well, they could've done that on the virtual console already. Gargoyle's Quest II, Demons Crest, SonSon 2, Streetfigter 2010, Mighty Final Fight, Sweet Home, etc, etc. There's tons of games that either require an arm and a leg to purchase or got never released at all. So many wasted opportunities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was a disaster on the Virtual Console. IIRC, they wanted $10 for various titles like 1942 and Ghosts 'n Goblins, which made little sense to me. For the same price of one game, a PS2 CCC release could be snagged, with 20 or so games. It was kind of asinine. Whatever they do here with the Arcade Cabinet, I do hope the pricing is better. I have confidence that it will be, but we can only wonder how much better until they announce the actual pricing scheme. On a side note, I wonder if Capcom had full control over the pricing schemes of their arcade games via the VC service, or if maybe Nintendo had some stipulations in place that forced them to charge more for one reason or another.

Atariboy Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Control with the Virtual Console is 100% with Nintendo. All a qualified publisher can do is submit content for consideration. Beyond that, it's out of their control. Hopefully that changes on the Wii U's dedicated Virtual Console when that arrives one of these days. They seem to have realized their mistakes and are giving publisher's more say and control with the Wii U's eShop according to a few interviews I've seen with a couple of developers. Well, they could've done that on the virtual console already. Gargoyle's Quest II, Demons Crest, SonSon 2, Streetfigter 2010, Mighty Final Fight, Sweet Home, etc, etc. There's tons of games that either require an arm and a leg to purchase or got never released at all. So many wasted opportunities... They're publicly stated in interviews that they've submitted their entire set of unlicensed NES, Super Nintendo, and Genesis titles to Nintendo. Sadly it's in Nintendo's court on it after that and they've done relatively little with it over the past few years.

cimerians Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Well, what I got from "Asking Capcom" at least wasn't just a plain "no" http://www.capcom-un...-arcade-cabinet Not bad because with Sony I got a snobby response on the FinalFight DRM fiasco unlike Capcom who at least issued an apology. Looking forward to this! Always look forward to compilations and such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I hope that 1944 and 19XX somehow find their way out via this. I've never had the opportunity to play either one in the arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 The ESRB just rated the following Capcom games: - SonSon - Black Tiger - 1942 - Commando - Ghosts ‘N Goblins - Legendary Wings - Section Z - Vulgus Let's hope that's not all...

Atariboy Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ghosts ‘N Goblins might be worth a download. Didn't that one and Ghouls'n Ghosts suffer from being too dark on Capcom Classics Collection Volume 1? I really hope they have something fresh planned for this.

Cybergoth Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ghosts ‘N Goblins might be worth a download. Didn't that one and Ghouls'n Ghosts suffer from being too dark on Capcom Classics Collection Volume 1? The ports that were taken straight from the PS1 Capcom Generation discs all had minor issues I think. The first five on the list got flawlessly emulated on the Wii already though. Personally I'd say that GnG and SonSon are the best games listed so far, but again I'm quite happy with their Wii versions already. As of now I'd still keep my money and ignore CAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Apparently there'll be 10 packs á three games. The first 5 packs for Japan (according to Famitsu) will be: 19.02.13 / 20.02.13 - 1943 - Avengers - Black Tiger 05.03.13 - Ghosts’n Goblins - Gunsmoke - Section Z 19.03.13 - Legendary Wings - Side Arms - Trojan 02.04.13 - Commando - Exed Exes - The Speed Rumbler 16.04.13 - Pirate Ship HigeMaru - 1942 - Sonson Nothing new so far - albeit at least you get my personal favorites, Sonson and Pirate Ship Higemaru in one pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) With that lineup and plenty left from the 80's that they've rereleased in those two last gen compilations to continue selecting from, I think it's all but a sure thing that we won't be getting anything new. I wish if they were going to regurgitate this stuff that they'd of at least combined both collections and released it at retail. Would be worth it then for the convenience, an improved experience on a HDTV, online leaderboards, and addressing any flaws in past emulation and ports. Would be nice if they at least do something like several publishers have done with car packs for racing games where 1 car from each pack is made available for free in an attempt to promote purchasing the full car pack. I could go for some free Capcom arcade downloads. Edited February 6, 2013 by Atariboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, The PS2 collections had 42 games altogether. There's a couple on them they probably won't use for Arcade Cabinet like all the Street Fighter II variants, Final Fight & Magic Sword and Super G'n'G, but the ones remaining still make more than 30 games.

Cybergoth Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 The official announcement: http://www.capcom-un...tes-and-pricing £3.20/$4/€4 for 1 game, £8/$10/€10 for 3 games, or £24/$30/€30 for 17 games and a ridiculous lineup - That's it, I'm not buying it.
