You want a game that supports 4 player co-op locked away in an app where you have to buy credits to play games
rather than as a standalone release that will more than likely support widescreen and drop in/out co-op over netplay.
I don't get it

^It also wouldn't mean much, heck when you start up the game just imagine/pretend the CAC intro plays then you've select the D&D games and presto.
They...won't, I mean why would they? Final Fight had online co-op.
Speaking of which, the Arcade Cabinet Games have online co-op don't they?

Would it have been feasible for Arcade Cabinet to be built in a way that it can have constant core updates to allow it to emulate new and different types of hardware? Maybe on PS3, but I doubt it on Live.
Arcade Cabinet is great, but it's clear from the start that it's a very focused 15-20 game bundle, not a platform.

Treat the current releases as being part of Vol. 1, next batch can be Vol. 2.

That is seriously awesome. I own the Japanese Saturn import, but don't have my Saturn hooked up all the time. Cannot wait!

Shadows over Mystara (and AvP) are my two most played phone games.
Thief, always thief.
But I have to agree that the Wizard design is AWESOME on these games

lol could you imagine?

Both PSP Capcom collections are playable on Vita. Excellent versions of Knights of the Round, Captain Commando and King of Dragons included.
As I 'joked' in the parenthesis, I know that the PSP has classic collections. It's just a shame none were done specifically through the Vita (like recent SEGA Heritage Collections).

Pretty sure these were based on regular D&D
It's also funny how "bad" the characters' stats are. I guess they weren't concerned with min/maxing or the stats have no bearing upon gameplay whatsoever:

Battle Circuit and Captain Commando should be the next double release.
People just don't know how good Battle Circuit is. THEY DON'T KNOW.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!
HOLY GODDAMN PISS SHIT.
I can't believe Capcom's doing this... hopefully, Backbone will remain uninvolved.
But uh... yeah. This is so bought. And if they release any other beat-em-ups from the CPS-1 or CPS-2 era, or Warzard, I'll buy those, too. I don't even care how much they charge.

I thought the stats went up during gameplay? my memory might be bad though.

I guess this game is under the old D&D philosophy where normal stats were supposed to be from 9-12. I think under more recent D&D rules they expect all your characters to be super heroes and to have their primary stats (strength for a fighter, dexterity for a thief, etc) to be in the 16-18 range. I think people tend to min-max a lot more now as well so this fighter character would either be rerolled completely or the person would make strength the 14, and 12 probably the constitution.

They gain three or four levels across the course of the game. Has no real bearing on how they fare in a fight, however.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion

Yeah, I really need a copy on Saturn myself.

its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than golden axe. like comparing the NFL to little league ball.
not even hyperbole:
there are more classes to play, and the diversity between classes means that strategy plays a bigger part.
the game is somewhere around 5 times as long, with branching paths.
players can find and permanently equip different equipment during the game, and there are even elemental weapons, "secret" cursed items, etc
everyone has an inventory, so you can bust out arrows, oil flasks, magic items etc at will.
special skills all over the place, and not just of the "clear screen" variety. mages can teleport, clerics can "turn" undead, thieves pick locks, etc.
it's the best co-op arcade game ever made. i hope it gets a visual bump, that would be outstanding.
Saw this by chance on Siliconera and got excited! Only ever got the chance to play Tower of Doom via MAME and it would be fantastic to play both legit with another person or two... or three.
AvP would also be a dream but the legalese for that is much harder to sort through than these two D&D games, I'd imagine!

OH MA GAWD
This is some amazing news. I never thought that I would actually be able to play these again outside of a Saturn.
Day 1, baby.

AVP is playable via mame (so is this) if you want to go that route- but yeah, the aliens license is still VERY active and likely expensive to license along with the predator one. I don't see that one happening, but you never know.

On the upside, D&D getting licensed does bode fairly well for The Punisher and especially for Cadillacs & Dinosaurs... the latter definitely isn't a hot license these days... If a $5 premium is all they're asking for licensed titles, that's hardly unreasonable.
But man, CPS-2 games. They fuckin' rock, man.
This game made me skip countless classes back in university. Though I have burnt out on play it on MAME years ago and am also owning the collection on Saturn. I will get this day one.
The only flaws this game has to me is the large burning oil trick that everyone and their grandma use to kill bosses in seconds and how the hold-atk attack input (elf's somersault, fighter's lunge kick, etc) is too responsive. Hope they at least fix the latter.

GH was just on xbla. this one is for a wider audience. it will sell.
I never got to play these games properly in the arcade
Several of my friends actually owned arcade cabinets, so I did get to play a lot of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr5Umgu6G2E
From the little bit I've touched of these, they're a lot more indepth than King of Dragons aren't they?
