Update:<\/strong> We’ve been tipped off by an anonymous source that Capcom’s big reveal \u2013 as reported below \u2013 isn’t coming to Switch, because it’s not coming to any<\/em> console. Instead, it will be a two-player arcade stick packed with classic Capcom arcade games that plugs directly into your TV. We’ve been told that the sticks and buttons will be full-sized affairs; a close match to the interface used on original arcade cabinets. We’ve heard that the unit will be a premium affair, with a retail price that could be as high as \u00a3200.<\/p>\n

We’ll continue to update this story as we get more information.<\/p>\n

Original Story:<\/strong> Not so long ago, Capcom surprised everyone with its Beat ‘Em Up Bundle<\/a><\/strong>, a selection of famous scrolling fighting titles which included Final Fight<\/strong> and Knights of the Round<\/strong>. Now, it would appear that the company is following this collection up with a second compilation, this time focused on a broader range of titles.<\/p>\n

Capcom has released a trailer which shows a series of arcade titles reflected in the controls of a coin-op cabinet. From the footage, we can make out Darkstalkers<\/strong>, a one-on-one fighter in the same style as Street Fighter II<\/strong> (which is also included in this trailer). There’s also Aliens vs. Predator<\/strong> and Progear<\/strong>, two titles that have never seen the light of day outside of arcades, and Giga Wing<\/strong>, a shooter which was also ported to the Dreamcast.<\/p>\n
