Capcom Arcade Cabinet detailed
February 7, in the year of our Lord 2013
– Following the recent announcement of Capcom Arcade Cabinet
it’s now time to lift the lid and reveal the full list of
classic 8-bit titles and how gamers will be able to transform
their PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 into their very own
customizable, HD 80s arcade.
Starting February 19 until early May, a total of 15 titles from
1984-1988 will be released on a staggered schedule available to
purchase digitally either as a series of packs or individually,
allowing players to choose what they want to buy. By purchasing
all 15 titles, either separately or together, players will gain
access to two bonus games absolutely free.
Downloading an individual title or pack will also give access to
the Capcom Arcade Cabinet ‘platform’ which provides additional
features including DIP switch functionality, a music player, and
the ability to capture and share screenshots or video. When
playing in standard mode, players will be able to access DIP
switch-like settings to adjust their number of lives and
difficulty, including a Casual Mode which tones down the
difficulty level and makes it more attainable to see the end
credits. Further features include 2 player online play for
certain titles; a global leaderboard; a training mode with
infinite lives to hone your strategy and an option to select
either the Japanese or international versions of the individual
titles.
In order to share their experiences with friends, PlayStation 3
users will be able to capture video of gameplay to post on
YouTube, while Xbox 360 users will be able to upload screenshots
to Facebook. Further additions include a sound gallery that
allows players to listen to the background music of any of the
games in their cabinet, and an art gallery which fills with new
pieces as players progress through the games.
Game Pack 1 and the first individual title, Black Tiger, will be
available on February 19. Xbox 360 owners will be able to play
through the game with a single credit before restarting. On the
PlayStation 3, players will have unlimited credits effectively
giving them the full game for free.
