Capcom's Virtual Arcade Cabinet Runs A Bunch Of Old Stuff

Thanks but I'll stick with my MAME cabinet.

round up all your JUNGALOS and get back in the game room!

Get dat Son Son SON.

Love me some 1943/42. I'm glad they've gone out of their way to let you purchase them individually, cause those are the only games here I care about.

I kinda just want the song from the trailer, that's a pretty sweet jam. Though 1942 & 1943 are kind of appealing nostalgically.

I have all these games already for PS2 but some of them are awesome enough to get again.

Also, return of the "Game Room" quick look, please!

Edit: Here's the prices: http://www.capcom-unity.com/xantista/blog/2013/02/07/capcom-arcade-cabinet-full-games-list-release-dates-and-pricing

Single Game: $4; Pack-of-three: $10; All 17: $30

Seriously? That's pretty expensive for a couple of old game ports.

Oh great, overpriced bulls... OH GOD! Ghosts 'n Goblins, and Section Z!

Its probably a little pricey on the price of *all* of them. Ideally all 17 would've been more like 20-25?? Personally i'll buy 2 or 3 of them and happily pay 4 dollars for ghosts and goblins, 1943 and a few others. Although i imagine it would be a pain trying to figure out pricing for stuff like that.

Haven't played any of these, can someone give me recommendations for packs or individual games? thanks! :D

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. I have spent a DECADE PLUS trying to remember what arcade game I played on that ship that one time when I was little, and this video identified it :) Speed Rumbler! Fuck yeah!

I feel like I can go on with my life now. Maybe have kids, settle down.

Fuck it. I'll get them all /Ash

So buy them individually for $68 or spend $30 at once. And didn't it say if you bought all of them you get a free game?

Game Room-esque Quick Looks please!

From a customer perspective, you are absolutely right that nostalgia is an important factor (and anybody that wants to buy one or more of these should of course do so). But for me, the markup on these relatively easy-to-do ports is bizarre. I'd rather spend my bucks on more recent games at a similar price point (usually starting at $8,-/800 MSP), and play these kind of games for free in one of the many, many (sometimes extremely good) duplications that have been created over the years. This is not 'reliving the old days' for a cool price, this is a cheap, perhaps almost loveless cash-in. And that's a shame, because I do like the comeback of yesteryear's games.

GAME ROOM LIVES!

I'm really happy that there's no mega man or street fighter in sight here.

I'm in for Commando, no interest in anything else

Yep. I'm buying these.

NOTHING STOPS THE GAME ROOM QUICK LOOK.

In for the 17 pack.

There's two games I don't care about or want, but I want the bonuses and I save $15 by buying the all-in-one pack.

Sucks I have to wait until May, though.

Interesting.
