@Slowdive They've been doing three non-game specific Directs a year since Furukawa took over, a pre-summer Direct, a summer Direct, and a post-summer/September Direct. 2020 was the only exception so far because of COVID. So I think the next general Direct with 1st party games will be in September.
@Bass_X0 I now think there's enough games to make up a Capcom Arcade 3rd Stadium after seeing the leaked line up for the second collection having some games that are also in Capcom Fighting Collection.
My revised predicted line up... Already confirmed: SonSon (1984) Three Wonders (1991)
1985-1988 pack: Exed Exes (1985) Gun.Smoke (1985) The Speed Rumbler (1986) Hyper Dyne Side Arms (1986) Avengers (1987) Black Tiger (1987) Street Fighter (1987) Tiger Road (1987) 1943 Kai (1988) Last Duel: Inter Planet War 2012 (1988)
1989-1993 pack: Led Storm (1989) Buster Bros. (1989) Magic Sword (1990) Super Buster Bros. (1990) Block Block (1991) The King of Dragons (1991) Knights of the Round (1991) Street Fighter II: Champion Edition (1992) Saturday Night Slam Masters (1993) Muscle Bomber Duo: Ultimate Team Battle (1993)
1993-2001 pack: Super Street Fighter II (1993) Eco Fighters (1994) Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II (1994) Pang! 3 (1995) Mega Man: The Power Battle (1995) Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters (1996) Capcom Sports Club (1997) Strider 2 (1999) Mars Matrix (2000) Giga Wing 2 (2001)
I just realized Willow is a licensed game based on the movie of the same name. That'd be a good game to have on Disney+ if they ever start streaming video games.
