At Capcom Gamer’s Day held last week in Las Vegas, the highlight of the show, probably much to the firm’s displeasure, was Hiroshi Tobisawa’s announcement that Capcom Classics Collection is in the works.

Absolutely nothing specific was mentioned other that Capcom will be evaluating and porting some of its treasured - if a little dusty - IP to current home consoles.

Speaking to a Capcom representative today,

discovered that the entire project is still very much under wraps. However, a few titbits regarding Capcom’s thinking were on offer.

We were informed that Capcom Classics is likely to form a series, with various offerings bundled together and being released over time in multiple, related packs. We asked about expected content and any possible split between historic console and arcade titles, and were told that more than likely, Capcom will port sets of games on a per-platform and per-arcade board basis, which brings the CPS2 revival dream a little closer to the eternal Capcom hardcore faithful.

doesn’t expect anything concrete for some time, though an E3 announcement is deemed likely. Stay tuned.

So, Capcom Generations re-release?

hopefully not.

the arcade ports in Capcom Generations are not totally 100% arcade-exact
(Ghouls N Ghosts, Street Fighter 2)

and the CapGen series is missing some key Capcom games
(Final Fight, Strider, UN Squadron, Forgotten Worlds, 1941, among others)

Not really, they're saying the collections should be platform specific, not franchise specific. So a 20 game CPS collection, then a 20 game CPS2 collection for example. They also talk about "platforms" besides arcade, so we might see NES, SNES and PS1 collections I think.

man I really, really hope this is true!

Yeah, but still...many of the ones that I'd be most interested in are licensed properties that are simply not going to be paid into just for some nolstalgia re-release...AvP arcade...Willow...etc. Anyway, they had better make certain that the games themselves are arcade/platform perfect.

Spong, for the lazy.

Hopefully it will turn out better than the emulation in Midway's Arcade Treasures 1 & 2.

The only thing better than playing Cyberbots and the VS games on a console is if the emulation is arcade perfect.
