They call it the Capcom Home Arcade and there\u2019s little doubt as to who\u2019s making it, as you can see from the trailer above.<\/p>\n<p>The reveal trailer showcases the stick\u2019s premium quality stick and buttons which emulate the hardware of the original arcade cabinets that housed these classic games. Micro USB powered with HDMI output and onboard WiFi to upload scores to worldwide leaderboards, the entire 2-player &#8216;board&#8217; is shaped as Capcom&#8217;s logo. It will include the following 16 &#8216;pre-installed&#8217; games:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>1944: The Loop Master<br \/>Alien\u2122 vs Predator\u2122<br \/>Armored Warriors\u2122<br \/>Capcom Sports Club\u2122<br \/>Captain Commando\u2122<br \/>Cyberbots\u2122: Fullmetal Madness<br \/>Darkstalkers\u2122: The Night Warriors<br \/>Eco Fighters\u2122<br \/>Final Fight\u2122<br \/>Ghouls \u2018n Ghosts\u2122<br \/>Giga Wing\u2122<br \/>Street Fighter\u2122 II: Hyper Fighting<br \/>Mega Man: The Power Battle\u2122<br \/>Progear\u2122<br \/>Strider\u2122<br \/>Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo\u2122<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><a title=\"CHAlineup\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/ee48f16fa1e3b\/chalineup.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/ee48f16fa1e3b\/chalineup.900x.jpg\" alt=\"CHAlineup\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.capcomhomearcade.com\/home\">official website<\/a> shares some more details concerning the hardware and the emulation:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Featuring a pair of competition class Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT sticks with 8-way GT-Y directional gates and OBSF buttons for the finest precision, response times and durability. The 16 pre-installed games are from the original Capcom CPS1 and CPS2 arcade ROMs with emulation provided by FB Alpha, delivering an authentic &amp; accurate arcade experience exclusively for the Capcom Home Arcade.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Break some high scores in single player, team up with a friend in co-op multiplayer or destroy them in a head-to-head battle. Then upload your best scores via the Capcom Home Arcade&#8217;s onboard WiFi to a Worldwide High Score Leaderboard to see how you match up against other players across the globe.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Arcade fans will no doubt be over the moon to see these games rereleased and given the treatment they deserve, although it seems that that treatment comes at a price. The arcade stick console will set you back a not-insignificant \u00a3199.99\/\u20ac229.99.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, these cabinets would cost you significantly more (in money and living space), so assuming the emulation is perfect, this might still represent something of a bargain for the 21st century arcade gaming enthusiast. Rest assured that we\u2019ll be keeping a very close eye on it come October.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><a title=\"CAPCOM HOME ARCADE\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/3abd2718ad1a0\/capcom-home-arcade.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/3abd2718ad1a0\/capcom-home-arcade.900x.jpg\" alt=\"CAPCOM HOME ARCADE\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Plug\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6a02f008be885\/plug.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6a02f008be885\/plug.original.png\" alt=\"Plug\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Dimensions\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/ca08a06058397\/dimensions.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/ca08a06058397\/dimensions.original.png\" alt=\"Dimensions\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Original Story:<\/strong> Not so long ago, Capcom surprised everyone with its <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/capcom_beat_em_up_bundle\">Beat &#8216;Em Up Bundle<\/a><\/strong>, a selection of famous scrolling fighting titles which included <strong>Final Fight<\/strong> and <strong>Knights of the Round<\/strong>.
