Capcom Home Arcade Is A Plug-And-Play Arcade Stick, But Is The Emulation Legit?

Given Capcom's patterns of previous arcade/retro support on Switch, I'd find it strange if it didn't hit Switch. Interested to see how this turns out.

Oh hell ya.
An official release of Alien Vs Predator bundled in with dark stalkers and other arcade classics.....sign me up 😁

I want this already just based on the teaser.

Street Fighter II again, after 30th Anniversary Collection? I guess it means it's not for the same kind of public.

Anyway, a physical collection or I'll pass. And that will probably be Japan only, like Capcom Beat'em Up Bundle, being those games more popular than these ones. Alien vs. Predator's license recovered is good news anyway.

The good thing is that we already know if it's coming to Switch only half the game will be in the cartridge and the rest is a voucher.

Darkstalkers? Color me interested.

Gigawing and AVP!!!!!

Disney Afternoon says don't get your hopes up!

I would pay whatever price just to FINALLY have a home port of Alien vs. Predator!!!

I just want a port of Capcom vs SNK, Rival Schools or its sequels. I'd pay anything for them. But I'm definitely intrigued by this collection, I hope it does include some of Capcom's forgotten gems.

EDIT: After seeing the actual trailer, how in the world do they think this is a better idea than re-releasing at least some of the gems they've been sitting on for so many years for the current consoles? It boggles my mind.

Hopefully it will, but being Capcom, who knows. The Disney Afternoon Collection is still M.I.A. on the Switch and you would have thought that would have been a slam dunk being all NES games

I would sell the souls of every NL member to get a rerelease of Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 1 and 2! Every! Member!

Looking forward to it. I love the beat em up Bundle, it’s just too bad I can’t find anyone to play that with online anymore.

OMG....Aliens vs. Predator????? I never dreamed it would ever get released officially!!!

You had me at Darkstalkers

The inclusion of another Street Fighter game is throwing me off. Hopefully it is another collection and we’re looking at Vampire Saviour and not the first Darkstalkers.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Pocket Fighter and Red Earth. If not now, some day...

My expectation is always for Capcom to drop the ball though.

@Moroboshi876 @WrongChops SF2 is not included. Darkstalkers is, which the article states is similar to SF2.

I played the crap out of Night Warriors (Ds2) on Saturn, so I hope that is included!

Power Stone 2 better be in here.

@janpampoen Did you watch the trailer? Because SF2 is in there.

**edit: It may be a different street fighter than 2 upon closer examination. But there’s definitely some E Honda, ken, and ryu footage in there.

Super hyped. Absolutely adore Capcom arcade games. Honestly would be flawed if they gave us ALIENS VS. PREDATOR. Talk about holy grails of beat-em-ups. Come on SEGA bring REVENGE OF DEATH ADDER to Switch and Konami we want all your beat-em-ups and SUNSET RIDERS and MYSTIC WARRIORS while you’re at it.

Instead of another version of Street Fighter II they could had include another version of Street Fighter Alpha 2 or Pocket Fighter. It's nice to see Aliens vs. Predator and Progear though. Still no Strider, Merc, and Ghosts 'n Goblins, c'mon Capcom.

@shonenjump86 Is there a thread on here for the Capcom Beat-em-up bundle? I know people are still playing it and FINAL FIGHT is even a survival NL arcade community challenge for this month.

ohhh good. so excited

Game 1: GigaWing
Game 2: Darkstalkers
Game 3: Street Fighter II Turbo Hyper Fighting
Game 4: Progear
Game 5: Aliens vs. Predator

I would have called this a CPS2 collection but Hyper-Fighting is in there. In any case I hope there's more even though I'm already sold!

They should have made the stick a wireless controller for the Switch, and had it come with a cartridge with the games on it. Oh well.

Wowsers. Aliens Vs Predator??? Amazing.

@Moroboshi876 street fighter 2 is all over the place, it's on the GBA, PSP/PS VITA (collection for a PS1 classic), PS2, PS3, PS4, NINTENDO SWITCH, your bed, your shower, your food, your clothes, the sky, EVERYWHERE!!! AHHHHHHHH!!! it's still good.

After the update that sounds so cool.

"We've been tipped off by an anonymous source"

Et tu, NL?😏

That sounds pretty cool, not gonna lie. Premium price maybe, but compared to buying actual arcade machines, this sounds like a relatively cheap solution to at-home arcade action. Wonder if it'll play right. Gonna keep an eye on this thing.

Ah man, must confess. Less hyped if it is indeed a plug and play peripheral (sp?) Already spent £115 on an arcade stick for the Switch. Not sure my pockets are deep enough for another £200 stick purchase. Shame as some of the potentially included titles sound incredible.

I wasn't a fan of the teaser video and I'm not looking forward to it being a premium item that is also a large plug-and-play. But I do like the idea that they may be releasing Alien vs. Predator, which I think is a fantastic game. Hopefully, if they do release it here, they'll release it as a digital game on other platforms eventually.

Sounds like quite the.... affair.

Please let Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters be a part of this...

Am looking forward to this as I never picked up a Switch so have been missing out!

Intrigued at first, but 200 is more than twice what I would be willing to pay for this product.

@PharoneTheGnome I assume they want to keep the money and not license something or at least before they pay Nintendo to be a part of the Switch.

Pandora’s box has all these and more cheaper price too and you can get a double stick version for 2 players

@Gs69 you can even pick up cheap enough kits to turn a pi into similar arcade systems. But yeah, this is just like a Pandoras box.

My response to this is "shut up and take my money!"

This looks great but have all the Capcom arcade stuff on my Pandora’s box 6, and my mame cab. And yes Alien vs Predator is amazing along with Progear, Cadillacs vs Dinosaurs, Dungeons & Dragons, the list goes on

If it’s official capcom I’ll be there!

That's a pretty different take on the "mini" console if true. If it's a real joystick with Sanwa or Happ sticks and buttons to match the original cabs, that's really kind of cool!

For people that are into this it could be very cool indeed, so long as the games look spot on and run basically perfectly.

@CrazyZelda79

Cool. Be sure to tag the guy who said no street fighter is in it tho.

@Raptor78 always thought about getting a raspberry pi and making a bar top machine

I hope this has X-Men Children of the Atom

@impurekind These "plug-n-play" arcade sticks have become really popular lately, but I haven't bought one since they seem to be reliant upon illegal roms and that sort of thing just isn't attractive to me. If this turns out to be a high quality first party offering with some classic Capcom arcade games that have never seen a retail release before, which is what it sounds like, this is something I have been waiting for.

@nab1 I forgot about those games! I used to love the version on the Neo Geo Pocket Color!

Lol nope. Slap them on a cartridge and I'll buy, but I'm not paying 200 dollars for this if the rumor is real.

@Savino Honestly $200 isn't a bad price to pay for a high quality arcade stick with real arcade components. The Hori stick I got for my Switch was $150 and that is just an arcade stick.

If it's straight up first party with the best emulator/or hardware I'm all for it. I wouldn't mind the first bundle being a part of it too(doubt it though), but glad there seems to be some you'd never think to see on a thing like this.

I'll buy a console collection, but not in the market for a $200 plug and play.

@Spoony_Tech For all we know, maybe Nintendo is saving all 6 games for the NES Nintendo Switch Online App, so people will have another epic reason to be excited to play NES Games on the Switch, minus the rewind feature.

Meh won't be buying it as I've gone off crapcom alot

I'm presuming you'll be able to use it as a normal arcade controller on other systems when you're not using it for the installed arcade games directly--or at least that's what I'd do.

@CrazyZelda79 Lol. Gonzo for president!!

Ok, whatever interest I had was immediately sapped as soon as I saw the update. Arcade games are cool and all, but there's no way I'm paying more than $200 for them. I've already got a SNES Mini and that's plenty enough for me - also significantly more affordable, too.

All those cheap Pandora's Box sticks use bottom of the barrel knockoff Sanwa sticks and buttons along with mono sound, have resolution and emulation issues, and that's not even mentioning the stolen emulators and games. If you think that's a viable alternative to a licensed, high quality product then more power to you.

Oh wow.
Ok so a plug and play is still pretty cool.
I can see the price point being a turn off for most.
The big elephant in the room is will the roms be properly emulated as ALOT of these plug and plays have been massive disappointments as of late.
And I know the emulation would have been a thing to worry about if this was a console port too. But alot of people would be more forgiving for a download that costs less than a premium product.
Guess we will have to wait and see and time will tell and all that 😋

AVP is worth the price tag, alone.

@Wavey84
I agree. I have very fond memories of alien Vs Predator and I stand by it's probably the best beat em up capcom ever made. Played it alot at my local arcade as a kid and long to play it again in an official release.
I'll buy this plug and play day one for sure......but only if it runs the games well. I do not want to be burned like I was with the Neo Geo plug and play last year.

A home Capcomsole huh. I can dig it.

Woah, AvP? Nice to see Capcom get that license. Darkstalkers is cool too, hopefully this comes to the Switch.

@JayJ Lol. Self righteous "legal grey area" movement left town a while ago. Cute tho.

As long as publishers can remove purchases from my library, and I know-- "I don't own it", irrelevant ethics on both sides. As this trend continues and becomes increasingly prevalent, I'll do whatever the heck needs to be done to preserve the media I love.

I want to say "nope" but I need to see the arcade stick first because part of me wants to throw my $ at Capcom. I would have preferred a sequel to that Capcom beat em up compilation and an arcade stick for the Switch.

Sitting here ready with my Hori Switch RAP V Arcade Stick

Hopefully this means another release on Switch in a year or so.

@Wavey84
True but I feel Nintendo with their mini consoles has handled the lag quite well. Not perfect I know but as close as can be.
It's not all about lag but even graphics and the sound emulation as they can be horribly butchered too.
It all comes down to how much time and effort CAPCOM are willing to put into the emulation and making the necessary tweaks here and there to make sure it's as close to the original as can be.
Arcade emulation is hard to do but if they can pull it off and produce a quality product then I'll be a happy gamer.
They did well will the beat em up collection I feel so I have faith 🙂

i feel burned by capcom on how they handled switch versions of collections one on cartridge while the other is download required.

So, if it's a two-player arcade stick, how are you supposed to use it with multiplayer? You can't exactly stand around it if it's just the dashboard, but two people can't sit down with it really either...

@nab1 they need to either make a successor to Capcom Vs. SNK. They need to make HD remixes of Rival Schools and Project Justice. Those franchises ae collecting dust in Capcom's archives.

I’ve got the Hori arcade stick for Switch.

Bring a retail game Collection I can use my own stick on, and we’ll talk. But I’m not going to shell out $200 and have to plug-in a separate arcade stick directly into my television every time I want to play these games

So it is just a plug and play stick? Nice but my $100 Pandora S6 arcade stick with over 1200 arcade games already knock this out of the park.

@somebread

If it's one piece, you put it on the coffee table and sit side by side on the couch and play it.

If it can be separated, you sit down and place your side of it on a table or your lap.

Not that difficult a concept to figure out.

Rather have it on Switch!!

I wonder if this will be better than the Pandora box.

I just want Aliens vs Predator on Switch. That's all.

@ilikeike did you read the article? It’s a 2p stick with games built and you plug it into your tv. Apparently Capcom is following the lead of the Chinese and releasing their own fight stick game combo, no console required.

@th3r3ds0x I did read the article, I assume you only read my first comment. When I posted that, the article hadn't updated yet and we'd all assumed that Capcom was teasing some sort of arcade collection. Then later on the article was updated the new information, and I posted a second comment to reflect that.

Would like this, especially for Giga Wing and Darkstalkers. Don't think I want to spend $200 on it though, which is a shame because I would like to support it so more of these games end up on Switch. I might buy one if there's ever a sale...

@KennyBania Right, but if you don't have a surface to put it on and it can't be split, are you just boned?

@Moroboshi876 Or just that its their biggest franchise ever and not everybody owns the two previous games you mentioned. Can you actually imagine a Capcom arcade stick console that didn't include Street Fighter games???????? You are talking nonsense.

@YANDMAN Be fair. When the comment was posted the real news wasn't out there yet. And anyway I didn't say it didn't make sense. I just asked that and right after that guessed it was for a different kind of public.

@somebread

I mean any arcade stick anyone buys would be in the same situation. You will have to put it on your lap then because you can't just hold it with arms outstretched like you do a standard controller

Price is not bad, I will keep an eye on it.

@janpampoen one of the games in the trailer is clearly some version of Street Fighter 2. It appears just after Darkstalkers. You’ve got E-Honda fighting Bison in the bath house and what looks like Ryu vs Ken at Suzaku Castle. This couldn’t be any other game.

Would love to see the 2 Mega Man Power Battle games. And Willow, the art style was total Capcom

@Savino
It’ll be more like $400 in Australia.
Lol.

@JayJ
I'll definitely get this for Progear, but seriously: I'd rather simply buy a Switch Game to use with the Hori stick i already have.

If it's going to be exclusively CPS-2 stuff, hopefully the D&D games will end up on it.

And Dimahoo, hopefully.

Wait a minute...................Sooooooooooooooooooooo they have renewed the AVP licence. I smell a new compilation set for consoles.

This thing is hideous. And only 16 games for that price? Hard pass.

Wow, that is ugly and for that price? I think not

I can't justify this, and yet, and yet, I'm totally tempted!!!

Yikes, I usually try to be pretty positive but that looks atrocious. And the price is a bit outlandish too. Doesn't look like this will be a hot holiday item. Though it'll probably be 70% off by early next year

As much as I love Capcom (less and less, to be honest, after the way they treat Western Switch users), having an arcade stick with the logo of any company isn't what I'd call exactly "beautiful".

I guess it'll have its audience, but I don't want an arcade stick that I can't use with nothing other than those 16 games, and definitely not with that shape.

Looks lovely, premium sanwa parts but with only 16 games and it’s not like you can use the stick on other systems it’s too expensive for my tastes. The titles on it are great though. Hope they see the light of day on other releases.

Also playing two player on that thing may be a bit awkward.

Iv'e got a similar twin stick setup with metal case and sanwa parts. Only mine includes 2500 games inc. all the ones on here. £190 to anyone interested

The Sanwa lever and silent buttons is a GREAT start. I'm worried about the emulation hardware though...

I was completely against the idea of this, and now I really want it. I need to let the hype die to know if I truly am interested. The game selection is very good if maybe four too few. If the build quality really is there, then I'll be impressed (not by a CG demo with nothing but text telling us off the quality), but £200 really is pushing it!

That is so hideous I actually kind of love it

Would have been interested if X-Men Children of the Atom had been on there. They could have at least included the SF Alpha series.
What would be good if this could be plugged into the 1UP Arcade.
I don’t have a 1UP Arcade but would love to buy the Final Fight Version or NBA Jam, if only I had lots of room and they were easily available in the UK

It would be awesome if this could connect to the Switch to use as a controller.

I have a feeling this will be updated with more games. If they add the Street Fighter Alpha series and Street Fighter 3 this will be a must buy!

@Gerald Probably near impossible to license X-Men at the time this was in development. The franchise was in the middle of being sold to Disney, but the deal wasn't finalized yet.

FB Alpha? So what I already have on my PC? Pass.

That's what it's actually going to look like???

16 GAMES? Ahhh o.k there's a USB card reader slot.

Great,but really ugly! Who thought making an Capcon shaped console was cool?

This is cool, but sheesh is it massively overpriced. The Genesis Mini gives you 40 games for $80. SNES Mini Classic gets you 21 classics for $70. And then Capcom tries to sell you 16 old arcade games for more than $200? Madness.

@Tim_Vreeland The Alien and Predator franchises were also being sold off to Disney too. Yet Alien vs. Predator is on this fight stick.

I need this in my life!!! Now I just have to justify it to the wife... She got me the Hori fight stick for my birthday, so it's going to be a hard sell.

Welcome to 2019, where there’s a market for a meter wide plastic Capcom logo sitting atop one’s coffee table.

Nope I rather have all of these games on consoles than on this overprices hardware. Sorry Capcom you tried and failed.

I cannot believe that the buttons in the 3d model are actually near invisible. I hope that the buttons are actually visible for the final release. If having the brand logo for 2 player joystick with near invisible buttons with a batch of games would make it an item, then so be a novelty product.

Way too expensive. If this is anything like the PlayStation Classic, I expect deep discounts on this after it flops.

it's very interesting.

not for me but still cool imo.

Yuck. Rather have these in a Switch collection for $40 or $8 a pop on eshop.
I already bought an x-arcade stick for my MAME so, good on arcade sticks atm.

Man, I would love this...but 200 quid? Not saying it's not worth it, just saying I can't really afford it. Please Capcom, put these games on the Switch.

Damn, that’s pretty much all my favourite CPS1 games in one place!

Screw this thing.

Would not buy something like this unless it had the ability to download additional titles in the future. Also it's too expensive.

I'm not a fan of the logo design. I've also never been fond of these wide, two-player control panels. I'd prefer having two separate sticks for more flexibility. Of course, that would mean this wouldn't be an all-in-one box, but it would be easier to use. This might also be too premium an item for their target audience. Many might be interested in some of the games, but not necessarily in a large arcade panel that costs $200+ with a limited, fixed library. I think I'd have liked it if it was just a mini replica of an Armored Warriors CPS2 board(which were encased) with separate controllers with wired and wireless connectivity like 8bitdo's sticks and pads. The selection of games is pretty good, and Alien vs. Predator is great to see available again in some form. I hope that is a sign of things to come, perhaps being made available via digital services at least. It would be nice to see such things made available on multiple platforms as well.

Not a huge fan of the high price point but I'm still down to buy. Darkstalkers and Alien vs Predator are worth the price of admission alone!

This is trash!!! Capcom understand once and for all that we want improvements in Street Fighter V and news about the game, news of weight. And not the damn raspberry with an arcade stick!
Guys, it's official Mortal Kombat 11 and Samurai Shodown will end Street Fighter once and for all!!
Dropped Street Fighter V, until Capcom stops thinking that their audience is stupid

Plug n plays are fun, but the novelty is that...welll.....they're cheap.

Pricing this over $200 kinda ruins the point

That stick looks rank! But great idea, hopefully the UK version is a bit more subtle.

Still no Final Fight 2 and 3? Pfft. I will still buy it!

Pretty cool but I wish they would have implemented an online store so that you could add more games if you wanted to. I'm not sure why that's so hard for these companies to do, especially since Capcom has a lot more of a catalog.

Looks awesome. And now I want to buy it and convert it into an actual cabinet. Id have to get rid of ome of my others to make room, but lets be honest, no ones gonna miss zaxxon

That controller looks pretty bad. I wonder what ga-
OH MY GOD MEGA MAN THE POWER BATTLE

I need this.

Capcom: “look at this arcade collection filled with arcade games!”

@vgaspar524 : “why are there no SNES games...?”

Kinda looks like the buttons would be hard to find.

Wow.....I liked the idea yesterday but....that stick is fugly! What were they thinking? I'll stick with my Razer Atrox and Hori RAP thankyouverymuch.

@vgaspar524 those aren't arcade games and ff2 is bad.

@jobvd Are you trolling? And who cares if it wasn't an arcade game? And Final Fight 2 was a great game. Get your facts straight.

@Bass_X0 Because they were made by Capcom?

@vgaspar524 no i'm not trolling. Why would Capcom include snes games in an arcade compilation that is altogether lacking anyway? And ff2 sucked.

@vgaspar524 It is a product aimed at recreating the Arcade experience. Including SNES games as well makes no sense.

@NEStalgia Im relevant to each site I contribute my glorious thoughts to, so as that unique snowflake I'll incorporate the site subject matter into said name. I like names. To stay poignant, I'll also be the guy to name drop premium arcade sticks, bc words and claiming ownership of expensive materialistic thangalangs!
When a better and actually logical rebuttal in denouncing a stic (for the first time in life) would be that 85% of the games listed don't benefit from an arcade stick.
Not to mention, the stick itself is the historic, prominent, and culture shifting Capcom logo. Therefore, I believe the Capcom logo is ugly by proxy. I'll stick with my Accolade, D3, and SUCCESS logos.

@jobvd Do you work for Capcom or something? Quit your griping then! I said I would still buy it I am just giving criticism. My point is it shouldn't be down to just arcade games, it should be down to all classic games. And the Final Fight sequels were great. Everybody likes them. So yes, you are trolling.

Like I said, I will buy it, but I have the right to give constructive criticism.

@OorWullie Who cares? The sequels are just as compatible with the arcade experience as the first game.

@Herman187 You do realize cost of the nicer sticks, and a copy of most of the above mentioned games, if you do already have a console that can run said games.....is LESS than what they're charging for this inevitably limited-run collectors piece, right?

@vgaspar524 many people dislike ff2. Because it Sucked.

@jobvd Keep trolling. It's very entertaining!

@NEStalgia Wait, so you're buying each of these arcade boards, plus the stick (not the parts to build the stick) for less than $200 total? Wow. You're terribly mistaken.

Because these aren't console games.....

Yea. Poof goes the basis for your otherwise decently though out counterpoint.

@vgaspar524 It's more entertaining than ff2 ever was.

I DO NOT like the looks of this thing especially the buttons blending in to the graphic. I'd rather they use character artwork and sold color buttons and do away with the "Capcom" altogether. I might have considered this at full price, but now I'll wait for it to hit the bargain bins.

@Herman187 You're right in that ALL of the games may not be available (but who wants to pay $200 for SOME of the games?), Hamster has done a great job at getting many of them out there, and a chunk of them are available in the Capcom bundles.

That said, one key fact I was forgetting about in their proposition is that it is 2 joysticks, not one, so that does actually significantly change the value in its favor. If it were one stick as I kept thinking of it it would have been a bad joke. With two, it's a decent value.

It's still fugly, though, and absolutely nothing can change that.

If the USB slot can be exploited to add more games (of which I of course already own the original arcade machines of), I'm buying it.

Instant buy. I may regret it, but only from a hardware and aesthetic standpoint. I need those games on my tv.

@nab1 some people complaining that they don't bring new titles and should be focused on newer titles. Some fans are at fault as well... well it's what it is

This thing looks hideous.

Surprised people hate this so much. Out of my price range, but it's just a celebration of their brand for hardcore Capcom fans with a game on it no one thought would get a rerelease.

@Fuz FBA is open source.

Make it work as a fight stick for consoles to and I'm in.

Would've been great if they added like, marvel vs capcom 2 in it :< plus 16 games for a near 300$ price tag? yikes.

@vgaspar524 why would SNES games be on a collection of arcade games?

Sorta tempted for MegaMan alone... Power Battle is a prity fun game shame the 2nd game isn't there aswell thogh

No US release, really stupid move Capcom.

@Bass_X0 What I am saying is that it should have been an all classic capcom collection moron. Not just arcade.

Actually pretty cool (although a bit strange that none of the buttons at all are labelled), and a solid selection of games (so long as they all look and run perfect). But it's expensive, and I was really hoping the various D&D style games that Capcom made would be included too, even if it was just stuff like Knights of the Round and King of the Dragons and not the actual D&D games (although those would be awesome). I'm not a fan of the bullet hell shooters though and would have much preferred other more classic Capcom shmups (something like U.N. Squadron for example).

AVSP being on here was more than enough to catch my interest.

it's great to get cyberbots and in America, seems they finally have the proper licensing solved with disney. it does suck to pay alot for it though. who wrote this article? seems don't know anything about darkstalkers......

So you will need to put this on your table and it is gonna take a lot of space. You need to plug the cords directly into it, meaning you need to sit relatively near your TV, or buy a real long HDMI, and HDMI cables don't like movement, it is pretty easy to knock one loose. And at roughly the cost of 2/3s of a modern game console you get 16 arcade titles?

Yeah, no thanks, that's a TERRIBLE deal!

A bit pricey but I would like an arcade accurate version of Strider.

"Wi-Fi enabled for worldwide leaderboards"
Yeah right. Not for more paid content after release right?

@Heavyarms55 Yeah I agree. Most living rooms are designed with the sofa a fair distance away from the TV. It’s not really convenient and “plug and play” if you are forcing people to rearrange their living space to accommodate it.

Pointless and inelegant.

@gamekill

You wouldn't want the option to download other games in the future?

I like it a lot. Surprised so many came on just to express their disinterest. Is it because it’s Capcom and they have their own ideas about the product?

@KennyBania
It is a very delicate matter. Yes it is a nice option. But at the same time, it feels more like the truth is they decided on giving only a handful of games initially to sell additional packs later. Instead of the As it is an old-school based experience I would personally trade the Wi-Fi functionality for say, 32 games in total in a closed, sealed, definitive system. It is not like new games are gonna be out because it is a decades old system afterall..
I know I may be sounding like, I don't know.. annoying. But personally I love complete sets. For example, buying an anime series full complete box, or a tv series, and so on. That is the main reason I did not get the Neo Geo Mini for example. If we had the option for a true "all legacy collection" Neo Geo Mini cabinet I would have bought it (even with the flawed directional stick).

@gamekill

No I agree, I'd rather it come with 30-40 games. But if it does allow downloading games via wifi, it means the likelyhood of it being hacked is much better

For the price I'm rather unsatisfied with the line-up. Some stellar titles for sure but so many missing and not a lot of content. Pretty sweet for folks who don't already have a sweet arcade stick set-up and don't see any of their favorites missing. Being wi-fi enabled, if they were to promise a digital storefront for adding future titles, this would be a no-brainer. Not in love with the stick design. Awesome buttons and stick, but Capcom seems a bit insecure making their giant logo the product. Whole lotta meh

@vgaspar524 I agree there should have been more games on this arcade collection but it was only ever going to be arcade games. Go play Breath of Fire II on your Wii U.

Is it just me or should they have added Tatsunoko vs Capcom to this? Lets ignore licencing agreements for a sec. For me, this is the best in the "vs Capcom" series. MvC2 would also have been nice. Looks like they missed a great opportunity here....
As much as it's tempting to buy just for the AvP game - this price is frightening. I cannot justify for AvP and maybe Darkstalkers & Gigawing.

@ilikeike did they very put that Disney afternoon game collection on the switch?
I do feel this collection is lacking honestly.
I get the beat 'em up one not having dungeons and dragons Chronicles/shadows over mystara nor Cadillacs and dinosaurs by possible licensing issues, but not having Cannon Spike nor that hd remix of street fighter 2 turbo is just a sin.

Of course, only the "CAP" half is in the box, and only half the games are there. The other half you have to download, and comes with a plan to build the "COM" part out of cardboard, which you have to print yourself.
In Europe however, it's entirely digital and you need a smart device app with paid subscription.
The games are to be bought in digital blind surprise packs of 3 games each.
Doubles cannot be traded or refunded.
For an extra €5 per pack, you get a guarantee at least 2 of them won't be doubles.
Each game contains micro transactions, to expand the character roster beyond the initial Ryu and Ken in Street Fighter, for example. Or extra lives, shortening arbitrary load times, and removing ads.
This is 2019 after all.
Oh, and Capcom reserves the right to terminate all services and make any installed game unplayable without notice, therefore you have to be connected to the internet at all time.
Happy gaming, and don't forget to spend all your money in one place - ours.

@MaseSco licensing is one of the biggest issues with re-releases whether it be characters, music or whatever, you can't really put it aside. Maybe the license holder just wanted too much money to make it viable.

@KraniX I'm well aware of the licencing issues in the industry. It's more of a hopeful wish. Disney gave Capcom their licence again - I just wish Capcom and Tatsunoko would work out a deal that would ultimately bring a remaster (with Samarai Pizza Cats inc) of TvC or a sequel.

@BetaWolf True, My favourite combination is a Seimitsu stick and concave Industrias Lorenzo buttons for older games (I have modded an 8Bitdo arcade stick with these parts)

Non of the Marvel vs Capcom/Street Fighter or Marvel vs SNK, or Xmen vs Street Fighter Titles titles on this.....? Nawn I'll pass. Most of these games can be found and played on SOME OTHER PLATFORMS. This Disney or Capcom licensing lock that prevents these games from being re released should have been resolved and taken care of. Playing another version/format of Street Fighter 2 gets old. Theres at least 3 different versions of it.

It looks great to me, and I disagree there's nothing wrong with that price. You have quality arcade controls there, the hardware to run the games and the games themselves. Looks awesome. Quality arcade controls aren't cheap...playing these games on a d-pad doesn't compare. Thumbs up here! Darkstalkers man....geez! I would have liked a more authentic arcade panel look, i'll give you that.

What game is Final Burn Alpha?

This article is mutating or something. But anyway, this is why companies go with their often crappy in-house emulation, to avoid non-authority entities or whatever you want to call it. Obviously FBA is the best outcome for the consumer, as long-developed code that also offers modding options for that unofficially acknowledged segment of buyers that’s always out there

Create a new article for this. Wtf.

Nah, just as bad an idea as the bend over to play arcade cabinets.

God I hope those buttons have led's in them or it will be a nightmare to use.

@Jokerwolf They're definitely not going to have LEDs. They said they're Sanwa parts, and with the Capcom logo clearly going over the whole thing, even on the buttons, they're clearly the translucent Sanwa buttons that allow you to put artwork in them. That said, it's pretty common for arcade stick users to customize their sticks like that, so nah, it's very doubtful it'll be an issue. It's everything else about this that's a mess.

The presence of FBA will only make it easier to hack and install all the amazing titles Capcom opted to leave out of this release

@KingdomHeartsFan You got a link for this company’s website?

@KingdomHeartsFan Erm, okay. Can you at least give my the initials of the company. If I buy something from them, it’s on me to do the research before I hand over any cash. Just interested to find out more.

@KingdomHeartsFan Cheers, will do. If I can convince the Mrs. to treat me to one for a special occasion 😂

For those with experience in compiling or customizing source code for open source emulators, you can compile for just the games you want. In this case, FB Alpha could simply be compiled to run only CPS1 and 2 games.

So, for the developers who don't want their source code included in FB Alpha, those parts can be left out. FB Alpha at its base just runs CPS and neo-geo games.

@Toastess SF II is like Doom, most people know it and have played it at some point, it runs of almost everything and both changed gaming in great ways.
I bet it even will be on the Megadrive mini even if it comes with 3 button gamepad.

It looks great! But for $230 they may as well have put it on a mini cabinet. Pity, I woulda liked it.

@BanjoPickles Gee. What a noble sacrifice.

@Tempestryke

It would be for the greater good. 😁

@BanjoPickles

backs away slowly Now listen pal, can't we talk about this like rational people? 😲

@Tempestryke

Are you prepared to give me Capcom Collection on Switch? If no, then I’ll simply have to swallow your soul too!

@BanjoPickles puts hands together in supplication Dear Capcom...
