Capcom Arcade Stadium does a wonderful job of preserving some history defining titles for new generations to enjoy. It is a robust package with a large number of options for all kinds of gamers. The games themselves may have been modernised quite a lot, but they still look and feel distinctly ‘old’. Games are essentially classic in all but features, and this is possibly the most enchanting aspect of the collection.
Looking for that perfect retro-themed gift for that special gamer? Here are some prime picks.
"Now that Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium is here, it’s time for us to finally review the first game. Capcom Arcade Stadium is a collection of 32 classic arcade games that were originally released from 1984-2001. The various titles can be purchased as a full collection or piecemeal, with the base software and 1943, a co-op shoot ‘em up, available as a free download. Playing and writing about all 18 of Capcom Arcade Stadium’s cooperative multiplayer games was no small feat, but we’ve done just that for this comprehensive co-op review," says Co-Optimus.
Agreed! We can hope that Power Stone will make the cut if Capcom ever does a third volume.
The PlayStation Brahs:
"The Street Fighter 35th anniversary is nearly upon us, as Capcom looks to celebrate the fighting series that changed the genre completely. It appears they’re looking to give back to the fans who helped make it such a success over all these years. Starting today You can download Capcom Arcade Stadium: Street Fighter II for free!"
I remember when Street Fighter 15th anniversary collection on original xbox was the very first ever online street fighter games. Those were good memories
I tried, but the nostalgia wasn't enough to overcome how much better games have gotten since.
