hopefully they'll make challenging trophies/achievements for these.

 

[RedSwirl]

Ok another ROM sold for 12 dollars with shitty upscaling filter, crappy online play and online DRM
Capcom knows how to make moneys

This is still better than having to pay $200 for an obscure cartridge or disc for some retro console, not to mention people like me who never got a chance to play the game. Like many other cases it'll probably also be the first arcade-perfect home version.

Defeat red dragon, no continues.
I hate that thing.

WE-WEL-WE-WEL-WE-WEL-WE-WEL-WE-WEL-WE-WE-WELCOME TO THE D&D WORLD!

That's more than enough tokens to beat Mystara. Doom...dunno.

Now where in the fuck is Power Stone?!

Wish this would come to the ps4 instead, feels so pointless to buy digital stuff for the ps3 now that we know the ps4 doesn't have backwards compatibility, especially newly announced titles. Yeah I know "keep the ps3 hooked up", "it doesn't explode when the ps4 is released" etc etc.

I think he means with Online support.

BUT OMG I used to spend so many hours playing this on MAME emulators. I was not expecting this.

That port was fucking terrible.

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?

way, way more. it's impossible to state just how gimped king of dragons/knights of the round/golden axe are in comparison.

Knights of the Round was probably the best of those, but it's a decidedly B-tier game compared to what Capcom would do later. Cadillacs & Dinosaurs and The Punisher were where Capcom kicked things into high gear with their beat-em-ups.

Oddly, I find Final Fight to be a lot better than stuff like Captain Commando and Knights of the Round, as well. Dunno what happened.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

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.

The issue with 3DS/Wii U is that emulated software is mandated to release through the Virtual Console. Which has been way too slow on the rollout imo.

 

[jacob armitage]

Excellent, i've been looking forward to this day for years and years.

 

[Platy]

This.
x100000

Im disappointed in GAF for not supporting this more.
Nonetheless i pray it comes out decent.

I am all for Warzard, but it is complicated to expect games with copyright issues like AvP, Cadillacs, Punisher and others....

Battle Circuit, Warzard, Battle Circuit, Captain Commando and Battle Circuit are all fair game =D

Always hated you rich kids hogging the machines smh

Yeah ... machines .... =x

That's more than enough tokens to beat Mystara. Doom...dunno.

I love beat em ups ... but I suck at then =/

 

[Hex]

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:

In first and second edition D&D , those stats were average not bad.
In these days of MMO D&D where everyone has super stats and special abilities and whatnot, I can see how they seem that way.

 

[Bassmastergeneral]

Great News! Two of my very favorite beat'emups. Love the level choice.

 

[pants]

Yeah ... machines .... =x

There is an arcade machine not 10 mins from where I work, it was there when I was a kid and it is still there. The arcade was HUGE when I was but a young elf, three stories of more than 100 x 100 meter floor space, but alas it has reduced in size due to the times, but the old capcom classics are still there - Darkstalkers, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, D&D, SFII million editions etc

Here in my city the last arcades were transformed into lan houses by the time CS 1.5 exploded =(

Bottom floor here is now shops and a kind of gathering place for coffee hipsters, other floors are a cinema and food court with a tiny bit cornered off for the arcade :'(

I searched the thread for "Steam" and didn't see it mentioned so:

Here's the registry entry.

And here are the achievements.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Well that decides what platform I'm buying it on.

Whoa.

I would buy the shit out of this on Steam.

Oh hell yes. I will totally buy the shit out of this on Steam.

Oh shiiiiiit!

Guessing this means that M2 is not involved, though.

I hate that nickname but fuck they deserve it if that's true

What a plot twist!

 

[ezekial45]

Looks like their announcments at Pax will be D&D and Strider

 

[LowerLevel]

Woot Wooooot! Double Dip time! Wait, Steam maybe too? Triple Dip! I think I might be a fan... Can go with my Saturn import too.

 

[Dwingvatt]

Oh shiiiiiit!

Backbone ....starting to lose interest.

Backbone ....starting to lose interest.

Sad thing for me is I STILL don't care and want it anyways! I am lost...

 

[Eusis]

Backbone ....starting to lose interest.

They haven't gone to Backbone in years though, and they haven't been exactly healthy last I heard.

 

[duckroll]

Oh shiiiiiit!

Guessing this means that M2 is not involved, though.

It's a Capcom game, I don't think M2 would ever have been involved.

 

[Azure Dream]

Backbone ....starting to lose interest.

Don't even joke about that. ;_;

 

[Dwingvatt]

M2 are the ones working on Capcom Arcade Cabinet. Or am I missing a joke.

They haven't gone to Backbone in years though, and they haven't been exactly healthy last I heard.

Don't even joke about that. ;_;

Correct me if I'm wrong, Backbone is the only company I'm aware of that port these old games on the PC. M2, Iron Galaxy and Proper Games haven't ported any games they've emulated on the PC.

 

[Eusis]

It's a Capcom game, I don't think M2 would ever have been involved.

If I had to guess it'd be Iron Galaxy Studios anyway. they seem to become the company Capcom goes to for this, AND they PC experience.

 

[duckroll]

M2 are the ones working on Capcom Arcade Cabinet. Or am I missing a joke.

Huh? They are? I must have totally missed that announcement. Argh!

 

[KTGarda]

This is pretty awesome news. I played Tower of Doom years ago at some far off arcade, and it'll be nice to have both games available for couch play. Funny how Capcom's digital releases have been so good recently while their physical ones aren't so much.
