The firstĀ Capcom Arcade StadiumĀ launched last year, with a collection of various arcade classics. Of course,Ā Street Fighter IIĀ was in the mix, as wasĀ Bionic CommandoĀ andĀ Ghouls ‘n Ghosts. There were also games like Cave’sĀ ProgearĀ and some obscure pick-ups, likeĀ Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness.
Retro-vision
A big deal here is probably Three Wonders, which is a bonus for those who pick up theĀ Fighting CollectionĀ as well. The three-in-one CPS-1 has, as the name would imply, three titles in it. Bit of a bummer that it seems to require a double-dip, but a neat cut of Capcom history nonetheless.
The only other confirmed addition isĀ SonSon, a free download. Obviously there’s a bit more that Capcom could delve into, which it says it will do “soon.”
Capcom also put out a new trailer for another classics collection today. TheĀ Fighting CollectionĀ has its pre-orders live now, and also comes with its own lineup of pre-order bonuses, including some music remixes and illustrations.
TheĀ Capcom Fighting CollectionĀ brings together some classic and sometimes overlooked parts of Capcom’s fighting game catalog. It hasĀ Darkstalkers: The Night WarriorsĀ and multipleĀ Vampire SaviorĀ games, as well asĀ the aforementionedĀ CyberbotsĀ andĀ Red EarthĀ too.
When we checked out the firstĀ Arcade Stadium, it sounded like it was a mostly solid collection of Capcom classics, though it was also what you’d expect. For those who really want to dig deeper into the arcade archives, hopefullyĀ CAS2Ā brings even deeper cuts. We’ll learn more as Capcom puts out more info about the retro recollection.
Capcom Arcade 2nd StadiumĀ is currently set for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
