Yo i am down for that long as koch media arent publishing it in the us at least
No, the article suggests a full sized affair, and a £200 pricetag? GTFO.
Yes but that was super early on. If it hadn't bombed it probably would've gotten a port later on.
I'm in for this if it's a "mini console" or whatever... sounds super interesting. Excited to find out more tomorrow!
A mini-to-mid size arcade stick with knock-off sanwa buttons retails between $60-90. I fully expect a Capcom mini-arcade won't retail any less than $100 USD.
That's what I thought. If the cost ends up really being that high, I'm not expecting CPS3 games to make it, sadly.
Yea it's actually a bargain for dual stick setup with presumably good quality parts and construction. The hardware alone would be worth it let alone the games.
Night a fighting game.
Side scrolling arcade beat 'em up that is quite good.
Capcom made a beatem up avp game.
Capcom didnt just make fighting games on arcade.
You're right, it's a reasonable price for a high quality 2P arcade stick. Still, I hope there's a cheaper model that has a tiny box with regular controllers for half the price.
Oh neat, I'm guessing it's been stuck in license hell preventing a rerelease?
Disney has generally been pretty good about rereleasing old games from their classic IPs. In the past few years, we've gotten Steam/GOG rereleases of The Lion King, Virgin's Aladdin game, Rogue Squadron, and Episode I Racer off the top of my head.
The trend for marketing these lately has been to drip out titles to sustain the hype, so that's probably the first reveals.
I'm with you, though this might be the only reasonable way to get some of the licensed games out.
You know though..these games are pointless without a proper arcade stick.
Mashing those buttons is like 70% of the fun, sogood.gif
Of course a full sized dual stick setup is not for everyone but Capcom could absolutely knock it out of the park if this thing came with 2 USB cords and could be plugged into a PC (and consoles?) to be used as 2 controllers
Don't forget Disney Afternoon with Capcom! So there's a relationship there, but I'd be shocked if they dealt with Disney for Predator stuff, this has probably been in the works for some months.
More fulfilling, sure. But we've gotten enough arcade/fighting compilations to know that it ain't pointless! The controllers have worked fine so far.
i'm going to venture a guess that some of these games would have not been able to be easily licensed on digital platforms.
Well, I'd still rather this just be a game, but if it's actually a quality stick, I'd still be in for it.
Progear helps a lot.
Progear helps a lot.
Where I live is the same as if they did nothing, why tease it just announce it already.
This sounds crazy, but if Capcom told me I needed to pay them $100 JUST for AvP, because they had lot of trouble getting the license, I'd throw them $100 and then tip them.
It's quite possible. Although I have no idea how licensing on these sort of devices compares to game licensing on consoles. Maybe less exclusivity or competing licensor stipulations?
Even if that's a reason why AvP may be possible this way, people will still be upset if it's the only way to get AvP.
It would be nice if they explain that if so, however.
This will be expensive. The Chinese version of this with bootleg arcade games already costs $150 - $200. With licencing fees and stuff, it won't be surprised if this goes more than $200.
lmao now you can do that AND get a two-player arcade stick out of it.
