Well, that will be super awesome if that's true.BIL wrote:Hopefully, those rumours will prove true, and this'll be a timed exclusive. It'd fit the profile of stuff like the Darius Cozmic Collection, which actually benefited from extensive patching before arriving on PS4 (to Darius Gaiden - previously shaky, now generally regarded as F3-perfect post-patch).
Proof will be in teh pud, of course, but at least I can be reasonably sure this pud won't have bugs in it. Or if it does, that the management won't tell me "too bad but thanks for the cash." 3;
Oh my god, I'd be THRILLED with a PC release for this!BIL wrote:Hopefully, those rumours will prove true, and this'll be a timed exclusive.

The obvious problem with those is the license. They did bring back the D&D brawlers, but they were only available for a year (except for the Wii U which still has it, I guess they just forgot about it). Presumably Capcom paid to renew the license for a year then moved on because most everyone who really wanted it would have bought it already. Guessing they have longer term plans with Arcade Stadium and don't want to bother with all that and the hassles that would ensue from fans over delisting.rapoon wrote:Lot of titles worth getting stoked about. But woulda been nice to see a couple of the belt scrollers (previously released) get replaced with AvP and/or The Punisher. Either way, here’s hoping it sees a PS4 release in may.
It's still on Steam and it's even on sale for 4.94 USD. It's still available to buy from the microsoft store too.Sengoku Strider wrote: The obvious problem with those is the license.

Not a PC gamer, so wasn't aware. That's interesting, I wonder what the deal is there.BrianC wrote:It's still on Steam and it's even on sale for 4.94 USD.

Looking at the Capcom Arcade Stadium site, that's crazy that Vampire Hunter and Vampire Savior (fighting games) aren't available, but Cyberbots is.EmperorIng wrote:Looks like Capcom is getting in the retro arcade collection thing (outside their beatemup collection). I can only pray that the emulation is at least Hamster level. Who worked on the other recent Capcom collections? Digital Eclipse?
I HOPE to GOD that they don't do a Capcom Home Arcade that only has the USA versions... They're really digging through their rom folders eh?!?

Another observation for Capcom Arcade Stadium, where is Three Wonders? That's both a fun platformer and shmup.bigbadboaz wrote:I'll take that as a positive..we can hold out hope for some type of Darkstalkers revival, and it cleared the way for something like Cyberbots to be in the collection, which nobody would have expected to get.
That sounds about right. All the extra costs outside of just paying the staff who do the port must be substantial. And if you do a compilation pack with 50 roms and the emulation and features are not up to snuff then it will get trashed as a lazy cash grab. There are a few past Sega compilations that, while they had a beefy selection of games, proved that just dropping roms into an emulator is not as easy as it sounds.To Far Away Times wrote:I think it just comes down to marketing and opportunity cost.
Darius is a big enough name to be worth it, but maybe the resources it would take to port and distribute Rayforce (however easy and inexpensive it may be) could make more money elsewhere.

As I understand it, all 3 packs will release next month. It'd be weird not to, wouldn't it?MachineAres 1CC wrote:So it seems pack 3 is the only one that'll be kinda worth a damn, and that probably won't release til sometime in Summer, I would guess?
1.0 was indeed not great, but it did get patched over time and got to a point where I'd say it's on par with the other mini consoles out there. Not 100% perfect, but playable to a point where a 1CC is completely viable on any of the shmups. In that, I am hopeful that's the starting point for this collection.MachineAres 1CC wrote:I don't think the emulation on the Capcom Arcade Cabinet thing was terribly good, so I'm not super confident in this thing, and I DEFINITELY won't be playing it on Switch, given all the horrible input lag and lack of controller/video options it has, but I'll likely pick this up down the line when it's on Xbox or PS4.
I haven't seen any real confirmation on this, but haven't researched too much. The only solid info I've seen is that Pack 1 drops in February, nothing else. If anyone has seen confirmation otherwise, please post!SPM wrote:As I understand it, all 3 packs will release next month.
