Capcom Arcade Stadium launched on Switch earlier this year before eventually arriving on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. The collection itself is a free download and includes one game (1943), with the remaining games sold as DLC, for a total of 32 classic arcade games. Making sense of those DLC packs and the scope of the collection can be daunting, so here's a full games list sorted by title, release date, and co-op features.
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
No Aliens vs Predator or Punisher I wont purchase
Unless the NES versions are included with with arcade versions these compilations do nothing for me.
I downloaded this free and really like that the app puts you in a virtual arcade where you move from machine to machine. However, I feel it would really improve the experience if they used the proper cabinets with side art and marquee instead of the Japanese versions with the short sit down cabinets with little to no art. Or at least give the option to switch back and forth as I am sure the Japanese market appreciates the current set up.
I think this is cool, but there’s so many more better Capcom arcade titles. I would pay money for Aliens vs Predator, X-Men vs Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, and Marvel vs Capcom 2. I realize some of it is due to licensing, but hey you paid for it once, why not do it again?
Just purchased Atgames ultimate legends arcade cab, so covered thanks.
