** Capcom Arcade Cabinet is now 2000 points for the entire selection of 17 games. I have heavily revised my original review to ignore the poor pricing policies up until this point - as well as the smack in the face to loyal fans who wanted to support Capcom and play these games from day one. I have also spent more time with each game to re-write my analysis of each.
You can still read the original review here **
After
the unfortunate failure of the underrated Game Room service, the
release of half hearted compilations such as Midway Arcade Origins
and the total lack of anything from Taito (boo!), retro arcade games
have had a bad run this generation. The exception to this might be
the excellent Namco Museum - Virtual Arcade compilation, but even
this had flaws. So, while still excited about the prospect of playing
old Capcom arcade games on my 360 or PS3, I remained sceptical about
what would actually be delivered. While there is disappointment to be had in the lack of certain titles, what's here is a pretty decent selection of Capcom's 1980's library.
