Capcom titles now on JP game-on-demand service

First batch of Capcom
games on the G-Cluster serviceCapcom's announced that its game library has begun to be offered on G-Cluster, the Japanese PC game-on-demand service online.

Resident Evil 3, Mega Man X5, Chaos Legion, and Dino Crisis have already been released in the first batch of games made available. Further installments in the Resident Evil and Onimusha series of games, as well as other classic Capcom coin-op titles, will be making their way online "in the near future" as well for individual purchase and through a 100-hour “Capcom Satisfaction Pack” to try all the titles offered via a monthly fee.

While we love the old-school collections Capcom's been putting out recently, we would love it even more if the company brought its "World Famous Library" to Western shores via some sweet (legal) emulation. It wouldn't be too much work to get the proper localization work done if the games are already playing on PCs in Japan, so we hope it's only a matter of time until we see more Capcom classics on PC, the 360, and the Nintendo Revolution.
