Capcom Bringing Titles to Japanese Virtual Console Arcade

Here's hoping they actually support VCA outside of Japan unlike a certain company who forgot about everyone but Japan.

SonSon doesn't interest me much. I have it on a Capcom collection and I find it pretty dated and not much fun for me. Although I won't say it is a bad game, its just not one I enjoy playing.

@Bass The first of many!

They better give them to us after pretty much neglecting the Wii at E3. D:<

Bring 'em HERE, Nintendo and gang! I need more retro goodness! Down with WiiWare! Up with VC!

@labrat7

Amen

I never knew SonSon was based on a fable. I have, however, known that it was one of Capcom's very first games, along with 1942 and Vulgus.

Bring these here (with some fighting games), por favor!

I certainly hope they release some of these in the U.S., too.

it was about time

Street Fighter 1 and 3 PLZ

Or marvel Vs capcom or the Japanese only X-Men Vs Street Fighter

I played SonSon on the collection, and found it an interesting piece of gaming history which I probably would have cared much less about were it not for the character's appearance in Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. I certainly wouldn't pay to download JUST it for a minimum of $5.

What are those counts in the second paragraph, anyway? They don't really make any sense to me...

@Stuffgamer1 Sorry for confusing wording. They are the numbers of virtual console titles available in each location, Japan, NA, Europe and Australia.

The numbers still don't make any sense or are they supposed to be the amount of games released just this year?

Sorry everyone, thanks for the correction. We accidentally posted the number of Famicom/NES titles rather than the total somehow. We do apologize for the confusion.

i know that some the of the stuff on the japanese VC was never released outside the country. but still, there`s no excuse with games that were.
still, to see that japan have 200 plus games more than the rest of the world is a little disheartening to read for fans of the VC.

Hope for arcade Final Fight and Street Fighter 2 at last!

@madgear

amen

Final Fight and Super Street Fighter II Turbo

FINALLY. Now give us that arcade magic too, don't be another Namco.

@zkaplan: Ahh, the fixed numbers make MUCH more sense! Though I am very sad to see just how many more games Japan has. There's a market for a lot of those games out West, even the ones that never released here before. If they'd just allow translation on import titles, I'm sure companies could make money on them. And even if not, there are dozens of games that WERE released here but haven't come to VC.

What are the limits for these games? So far the games that are on the VCA seem very limited compared to other arcade titles. I'd like to see Alien vs Predator!

"Come on, we like Ghouls 'N Ghosts too..."

Well, I HATE GnG, personally. The Maximo games were good though, and I know they're related. At any rate, it doesn't matter - I would just like to see more Capcom games on the VC and VCA in general Particularly Demon's Crest. But at this rate, I don't imagine an EXPLOSION of new titles until the next Nintendo home console and all new people just completely rediscover the service. Hopefully by then, Nintendo will learn to advertise this awesome service.

@StuffyStuff: Well, Namco's arcade offerings in Japan run right through the 90s, so I'd say the only thing stopping something like AvP from showing up would be licensing and company interest in publishing it.

Let's face it: Virtual Console is dead outside the land of the rising sun...

FANTASTIC!!! I have been crying for Capcoms arcade games!!! Start with Gun Smoke!

put strider in and im good!

cps1 games than im interested

There's a number of Capcom games I'm keen to see and it would be nice if Sega picked up the pace or Hamster treated us to more old Universal games. Namco really needs a 3rd wave as well - where's Pac-Man??!!??

It's pretty sad that the Arcade platform is so underrepresented elsewhere. In Japan it's the fifth largest platform after the Famicom, PC Engine, Super Famicom and Mega Drive!

yeah this artical from ign pretty much sums up the situation.
