We recently reviewed the first Capcom Arcade Stadium, a collection of 32 arcade classics from Capcom's heyday. Now Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium has launched on all platforms (a few hours late on consoles), bringing with it another choice batch of 32 arcade games. The base game is free to download and comes with SonSon, a run-and-gun shooter based on the famous Chinese novel, Journey to the West. The remaining titles can be purchased individually or via bundle. Let's head to the arcade!

Now that Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium is here, it’s time for us to finally review the first game. Capcom Arcade Stadium is a collection of 32 classic arcade games that were originally released from 1984-2001. The various titles can be purchased as a full collection or piecemeal, with the base software and 1943, a co-op shoot ‘em up, availa...

The original Capcom Arcade Stadium is a collection of 32 arcade classics from Capcom spanning 1984-2001. Capcom has a lot more arcade titles than that, though, hence the upcoming release of Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium. The main collection will be a free download with one included co-op game: SonSon. The remaining titles can be purchased individually or via bundle. Making sense of all the DLC and the scope of the collection can be daunting, so here's a full games list sorted by title, release date, and co-op features.

Capcom Arcade Stadium launched on Switch earlier this year before eventually arriving on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. The collection itself is a free download and includes one game (1943), with the remaining games sold as DLC, for a total of 32 classic arcade games. Making sense of those DLC packs and the scope of the collection can be daunting, so here's a full games list sorted by title, release date, and co-op features.

Continuing through the newly released Capcom Arcade Cabinet bundles, we have returned once again to the year 1985 for another dose of retro gaming. Since the first “1985” pack didn’t seem to be enough, the “1985-II Pack” will add Commando, The Speed Rumbler, and Savage Bees to our library of classic Capcom titles. If anyone hasn't experienced any of them before in their lifetime, try out their demos before making any investment.

Capcom’s 30th anniversary is officially underway! If you’re a fan of old-school games like we are, please be aware that the first “1987 Pack” within the Capcom Arcade Cabinet promotion is now available on both the PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade.

A few weeks back we heard of an upcoming XBLA and PSN offering from Capcom that would offer plenty of co-op and retro fun called the Capcom Arcade Cabinet. The idea behind this was for the Japanese developer to continue its 30th anniversary celebration by re-releasing the classic titles that helped propel it to its current state over XBLA and PSN in an arcade shell. The cabinet itself is just a decorative storefront, of sorts, for the packs of games that are set to release over the coming weeks, but it certainly helps invoke some of those memories of spending your entire allowance on a few games of Ghosts and Goblins or 1942... and then begging for an advance on your next allowance cause you're so close to the last boss!

Microsoft's Game Room service for Xbox 360 and PC showed a ton of potential. Gamers could purchase individual arcade and console games from within a snazzy client and play them via the magic of legal emulation. Sadly, most of the games were just plain old as opposed to classics, and Microsoft stopped releasing games just as things were starting to pick up. Conspicuously absent were Capcom's phenomenal arcade games... But now Capcom's set to launch its own emulation client, Capcom Arcade Cabinet: Retro Game Collection.

Capcom Arcade is a multi-game app for iPhone and iPad that lets players sample and purchase classic Capcom titles. The latest addition to the app: Final Fight, one of the all-time classic co-op beat-em-ups.
