... WHA? And we find out... just like this? Wha, who how? No Source for Siliconera's article, just... bam, INFO.

YEAR OF THE SIDE-SCROLLIN' BEAT 'EM UP!! Phantom Breaker BattleGrounds, Sacred Citadel, Obscure, Dragon's Crown... now the 2 D&D Arcade Games! I fully accept this!

As far as it NOT being part of Capcom Arcade Cabinet... ok. Fine. If the ports are anything like the recent Darkstalkers Resurrection, then they'll benefit all the more from being seperate, full-quality packages. I look forward to all the gallery content, and potential bonuses to be included. Iron Galaxy or M2 quality emulation are both very solid. Scanlines look great on DSR to me, too.

So is this kinda a cross-promo for Dragon's Crown? Very Convenient timing.

"WELCOME TO THE D&D WORLD!"

Does this mean Capcom will give a shit about their forgotten son, Battle Circuit?

Because I'd buy all the digital copies.

Yeah, I'd find a way to buy all of them.

I never thought I'd see this game get re-released. But again, there were other digital re-releases in this gen I also thought the same, like Konami's Simpsons and TMNT. Good to see the curse of the licensed game fading away.

This means AvP is possible.

12 Euros for an emulated arcade are way too much. We started with 10-15 arcade games collections sold for 30 dollars/euros now we're happy to play with a single game for 12-15 dollars? They're not reprogrammed, they're not new games, they're old (good) games emulated (sometimes very bad) and sold to a price usually an indie developer sells a brand new game.

A leaderboard and an online play is the minimum you can ask to a re released game and not for that price in my opinion

The only alternative to play these games legally in your home is to pay over $100. What's wrong with charging $10-$15? These are also licensed games which are often never re-released due to the licensing agreements.

I'd pay 50 dollars for this game released on a disc with just local coop.

It's never been released in america and this is the only way for me to own a legit copy without going through the hoops of playing the saturn version (with shitty load times).

Good games are good.

Capcom knows how to make moneys

Would you rather pay $150 for the Sega Saturn releases? How else would you legally play it?

Oh I'm seeing it now. Dragon's Crown renamed to: Dungeons & Dragons: Bearer of the Crown, now partially funded by Capcom. Sequel to ToD and SOM. (GAF hyperbole mode ON.)

I thought this day would never come. Now if Capcom would just bring me Knights of the Round I will die a happy gamer. Online Co-op too pleases.

edit: as mentioned above, battle circuit / captain commando as well please. still sore he was left out of MvC3.

Guess I can get these instead of shelling out $180 for the CPS2 version of SoM.

OH MY GOD this is awesome news. I sold my Saturn import of this over a decade ago and have missed it ever since. Love love love this, so looking forward to it AAAAAAAAGH!

I'm a little excited. This is the announcement of the year for me.

edit: any date for it yet?

Maaaaaan. I can already tell the next several years are gonna be super annoying for me, as games I want to play on the GamePad get announced for every system but the Wii U. Ah well, I'll pick this up on one of the other consoles because it's fucking incredible, but I do wish Nintendo hadn't stumbled so hard out the gate they couldn't even get ports of old arcade classics.

I can't believe this is happening, we had D&D:ToD in my local arcade, and I remember I tried to master and finish it with one coin.

The only character with whom I managed to reach the end boss was the Dwarf but didn't kill it..game is hard as fuck. VERY hard.

this makes me wonder, is there a chance will ever get Willow on PSN/XBLA? another game presumably locked by licensing issues.

OMFG. I cannot believe Capcom actually went ahead and paid for the licensing for these.

I wonder who's behind the port - Iron Galaxy or the team that did JoJo's? Either is fine with me, the emulation and netcode is doing great from both. But I do like Iron Galaxy's options like screen modes, scanlines, etc.

Regardless, day 1.

I hope it's the Jojo's guys because Iron Galaxy is hard at work on the Alpha Collection. #dreaming
