Digital Eclipse's Frank Cifaldi has revealed that his company is working on a new retro collection with Capcom.
Cifaldi was director and producer on the superb Mega Man Legacy Collection, and while he can't talk about this new venture at the moment, he says an announcement could come "any day now" and that the project is "really cool":
I shipped a collection called Mega Man Legacy Collection the year before last (it's been a while), and we've got another one coming out soon that they're gonna announce any day now. I don't know when - I wish I could talk about it but it's really cool.
So what could this new collection be? More Mega Man? It's the Blue Bomber's 30th anniversary this year, so the timing would be perfect. However, we're truly spoilt for choice when it comes to Capcom classics - which series would you like to see get the Legacy Collection treatment? Let us know with a comment.

Hopefully Mega Man X collection?
Or they could make a new Mega Man game... But that is maybe too much to ask from Capcom.
Resident Evil 1-3 Collection, PLEASE!
Capcom shmups collection would be great
A beat-em-up collection would be superb. Going by Capcom's recent comments we can probably expect to see it on Switch whatever it turns out to be.
Can we get an X Collection not region locked to hell and back?
Quietly sits in a dark corner of the room, always hoping for a Disney-Capcom game collection someday.
Siiigh. I can dream. But I'll settle for another nice collection of some sort, definitely.
@BLP_Software Well, the Switch is region free, so there's that.
But yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I'm hoping for. A Mega Man X Collection.
Capcom arcade collection anyone?
oh yeah resident evil first 3 games on the switch!!!
X collection and then Zero Collection would be awesome.
Legacy collection is pretty great (6 games in 1). Maybe it's a SF or RE collection?
Mega Man X Legacy Collection, plz!
If it's an x collection with the level of quality and polish of the previous, I'd buy it 3 times just on principle
@big_bad_bob this is my preferred choice.
Yeah capcoms full arcade back catalogue on one cart would be awesome
Street Fighter Zero 1-2-3 ! Please !
Mega Man X Collection would do it.
Need these classics on Switch- the last console I'll ever need these games on
I'll be shameless: a collection of Capcom's Disney titles. A guy can dream, right?
any day now? maybe today?
I'd buy the crap out of a Megaman X, Street Fighter, or Darkstalkers collection for Switch. Gimmie Street Figther 3 on the go baaaabyyyy!
This is just like Konami and Super Bomberman R. Too lazy to make their own games, instead they greenlight some indie developer to do it instead. How's about you make a new Megaman game Capcom?
Count me in on the "Disney Afternoon" dream. Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers 1 & 2, Ducktales 1 & 2, Talespin, Darkwing Duck, The Little Mermaid, Goof Troop, plus some of the Mickey Mouse games...
Many of those games (and shows) are long forgotten now, but would be wonderful to see revived as part of a Capcom Disney Anthology.
Viewtiful Joe 1&2, Power Stone 1&2, Capcom vs Tatsunoko. a new mash up fighter..
Pretty much any collection from the retro days will be an instant buy for me. If it's Mega Man X it has to include all of them up to X8 or whatever it stopped at.
From Capcom, I want :
1. Street Fighter Alpha 3 HD Remastered.
2. Pocket Fighter (again)
3. Kickboxing games with Chibi fighters.
4. Rhythm games by Naoki Maeda ( former DDR composer from Konami)
5. New IP of Open World RPG with Chibi character design, cute looking, full of customazation, up to 4 players to join in party, colorful world like Mario Odyssey, cooking, mini games, Summons, planting something like Harvest Moon or Earthlock.
@ejamer
Ah..Yes !
Chip, Chip, Chip, Chip n Dale once again for Switch.
Remastered in HD, 2 different gameplay style (2D or 3D).
Mega Man X Collection! Or maybe the Gameboy Collection! Or maybe an Oddball Collection! Like with games featuring Mega Man and Bass, Mega Man Soccer, Rockman Battle n Chase, and any other games and spin offs that didn't fit. Yay!
If not Mega Man then maybe Viewtiful Joe or Devil May Cry?
Or a Capcom's Classics Collection?
A 194X collection will be nice. I love those games, I had great fun with 1942, 19XX and 1944 together. If not, it could be something more surprising like a collection of side scrolling beat 'em ups. Licensing could be an issue but that is up to Digital Eclipse. One can only hope.
Mega Man X! PLEASE. X4 is still one of my favourite games of all time.
Street Fighter Alpha 3 plz, ty.
I'm with the people talking about arcade games. I'd love a collection of their scrolling beat 'em ups. I'm guessing the licensed ones (Punisher and Alien vs. Predator) are unlikely though (D&D might make it).
Final Fight
Captain Commando
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
Armored Warriors
Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom
Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara
@_ijin power stone 3 would be perfect on a Nintendo system.
@TruenoGT Don't make me get too excited man
Breath of Fire Collection or Dino Crisis would be awesome!!
Capcom has the same issue as Sega, Konami and Nintendo; so many IP's to use, but no good idea of what to do with them. At they push out remakes, Nintendo could do that with so much more than Zelda.
@MagicEmperor YES! I'd love that. I was actually thinking that coming into this topic too. I freakin loved Disney Capcom games.
@BionicDodo Great games!
Cadillacs & Dinosaurs is also licensed, though
@JoakimZ So it was! Never knew that. As the cartoon came after the game I figured it came first. Didn't know about the comic. I guess that one depends on the owner of the license for the comic.
Mega Man Legends + Tron Bonne Collection or Power Stone Collection with online multiplayer for Switch. Either would be awesome!
Maybe they will have a collection of all the games this time.
Considering the fact that Mega Man X introduced the new Marvel Vs Capcom game, I can guarantee you that it's an X Legacy Collection.
I know few people want it but a Mega Man Battle Network collection with online play would make me a very happy chappy.
@Steel76 ...and throw the Maximo games in there for good measure
ZXCollection + ZX3, please? and cross over it with Gunvolt2 if you please. Coppen would be fun!
beat em up/brawler arcade games
@Pazuzu666 You're as greedy as I am 🤓
Would love an HD Megaman X collection but I feel like it's just going to be an arcade cabinet random Capcom games
Mega Man X would be a waste and also one would have to figure they'd be using that Eclipse Engine again. Wasn't the core portability design of that rooted around 8/16bit level stuff at best? Perhaps a really smart choice for Capcom would be to get back in on that arcade action that Hamster is with NeoGeo etc. Back on PSP they had a few packages of their arcade games thrown on some UMDs or for download. I'd buy up something like that where you'd get 1942, 1943, GnG, Trojan, Vulgus, and so on thrown into a nice package but I wouldn't touch MMX even for free.
@Cosmic-K9 Ah! A fellow fan! Yeah, I would crave for that dream to come true.
@ejamer Yeah! Nail on the head.
@nhSnork I'm sorry, I didn't notice your comment before! Yes, let us dream together.
@MagicEmperor I loved DuckTales Remastered and hoped they were going to do more remasters but nothing yet. But I'd simply take all the Disney NES and SNES games as ports in a collection. Some of my absolute favorites games. Rescue Rangers on NES and Aladdin on SNES are favorites in particular.
@Cosmic-K9 I would actually love that too, surprised Disney hasn't allowed it yet considering how popular retro gaming (look at the NES Classic Edition) has gotten.
