Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle Sept 18th (Switch/Xbox/PS4/PC)
- Thread starter ReyVGM
- Start date
Warriors of Fate is based on a manga, Tenchi wo Kurau, but Capcom made 4 games based on it so they probably have a good relationship with the author or something.
They might have some luck next year when AvP will be owned by the same Disney that owns the Punisher but Cadillacs & Dinossaurs rights are a COMPLETE MESS
Siiiick City
Hilarious that seeing this during the direct really got me pumped up. Alof of those games really bring out the nostalgia for me, great price at $20. Will be getting this immediately. The Dungeons and Dragons Arcade Beat-em ups from a few years ago that they released on PS3 and 360 was some of my favorite classic side scrolling games of all time, just loved the detail and art style so much.

This was quite the surprise. I'm so glad it's coming to EVERYTHING right off the bat, too.
Battle Circuit and Armored Warriors are fantastic gets, they definitely push the collection even higher.
I constantly want to re-play Knights of the Round (love the sounds, the SNES version, etc), and King of Dragons was fun on PSP, but I ALSO really like the SNES version there, and have great memories of it. Playing the Arcade more seriously because of the PSP collections was great, but no MP on even a Vita TV sucked.
I wish this was like the SNK 40th collection, which is including console versions alongside arcade. BUT for $20, there's really no room to complain almost at all.
I'm mostly happy Capcom is showing a willingness to actually work with these kind of games. It seems so few and far between, that they think about porting unreleased-to-console classics. Now we get 2 at the same time? If ANYTHING in gaming needs to start a trend, LET IT BE THIS.
Switch basically seems to be the XBLA of this generation, eh? It enables an increased interest in games that probably wouldn't be released, without the service making these things potentially profitable, which helps them actually HAPPEN.
The commercial license games can still come later. I could see those getting bigger remakes if they're going to bother to relicense them, y'know? With all the previous gen titles that also are BC on XB1, I don't think any other consoles have ever let me have honest ports of this many BEUs. And with the option of Online play! This is actually cheap enough to buy a copy for a friend and force them into a few rounds of play! *cackle*

Wish it had Mystara and other Final Fights. But I mean for $20 this is already a killer collection.
Between this, Streets of Rage 4 and Ninja Warriors Again, this has been a very good time to be a Side-scroller brawler/Belt Scroll Action game fan. Love this.
I called it. Once I saw the Street Fighter Collection, and how well it was received and how well it played, I knew Capcom had good CPS-1, CPS-2, and CPS-3 emulators in their hands. It was only a matter of time before they started releasing themed collections of their rich arcade catalog.
Of course, licensed stuff is gonna troll, hard. Especially since those are some of the best games. (Punisher beat em up is fantastic.) Which is why it will be pretty difficult for us to see, for example, a "Marvel Fighter Collection" that has everything from Children of the Atom to MvC1.
In any case, this is an amazing collection, just came back from a weekend with some buddies where all we did was play 16-bit era beat em ups. This would have been perfect.

It really is cool how all of the stars seem to be aligning for this little revival of beat 'em ups.
And we have a whole bunch of new character action games coming up on top of that (pretty much the successors to the classic beat em ups).
All jokes aside, this is a good collection, having Armored Warriors and Battle Circuit on a handheld is a good thing.
With game bundles like this rooftop parties may not be a meme. I could legit see hitting up a friends place just bringing my switch and folks crowding in on it with me to play beat em ups. Me an my buddy Bill went in hard when Konami rereleased the Xmen Arcade title back in the day. Good times. This bundle though...hooboy. Next level lineup.
Final Fight and the other 3 had me like...
And then Armored Warriors and Battle Circuit appeared.
They still gotta get on their licensed brawlers. It makes up half their notable brawler library for chrissakes.

Considering these are all licensed gsmes, it probably won't happen.
It'd also be $20 on its own, same with Viewtiful Joe if they ever remaster it.
You better give me some Violent Storm with that.
In for Final Fight alone. Too bad it won't also include the SNES soundtrack I assume.
Never played the other games.

Never happening because licenses.
NOW a RUN & GUN compilation from konami with the Sunset Riders Trilogy, Gangbusters, Surprise Attack and M.I.A.: Missing in Action
This was the hypest announcement in the direct for me by some distance.
I lost my shit at Armoured Warriors and Battle Circuit.

As we see more of the types of Collections, its starting to make sense why we arent seeing a Virtual Console anymore. Third parties have the flexibility and control to release their content where, when and however they like, and im ok with this.
Bring on Captain Commando!

If you're into online gaming, PC will now be the only place to play with others for free.
It's Capcom's final classic beat-em-up, and in terms of the more technical style of game they started making from Punisher onwards, it's the only one that's not a licensed title.
It's also much more colorful and goofy than their other beat-em-ups, even Captain Commando. There's also a shop system and some other neat little touches, and it's not a crazy difficult game, either.
I been gushing for pages.
- Crazy animations and lively characters from enemies to bosses.
- Not a throwaway story. You get really fun characterization from its enemies and plot like an old campy comic book
- You earn money for missions and by collecting it from enemies. This lets you level up your abilities. In other words YOU UNLOCK MOVES.
- Games moves are done fighting game style and since its capcom you end up having insane combo potential and can get super flashy with relatively low skill level
- Soundtrack is great
- 4 player simultaneous is so wild and colorful. Each character is paletted to stand out from the rest and each has animations designed to be distinctly different in personality and even in arcs than the rest of the cast. A ton went into this. From staticy fighter guy stuff from the blue guy to tentacle stuff from the green plant, to lungy zig zag stuff from the pink bird to even morphing into shapes and ice stuff from good ol Captain Silver. Its all very very very distinct and hard to lose your character in a crowd.
- Hidden Secret 8th level boss
You need 3,200,000 points, and you have to get 1,000 coins or 6
upgrades to fight Master Program.
Wow, capcom killing it on bundles lately. Also killing the need for unlicensed roms and emulators. Good stuff.
