Three Capcom arcade games confirmed for Virtual Console in Japan

by JC Fletcher on Oct 8th 2010 2:00PM

Capcom continues to support the Virtual Console long after most companies have abandoned the service, announcing three upcoming Virtual Console Arcade releases for Japan.

Black Tiger (an early candidate for Final Fight: Double Impact inclusion), Ghosts 'n Goblins (which is already available on Virtual Console in its NES form) and 1942 will be released in Japan in the near future. Though no announcements have been made about these titles' releases outside of Japan, recent Australian ratings show that Capcom is likely planning to launch some of its other Virtual Console Arcade games in additional territories.

@PR0F3TA
I thought the same thing!

I think I need this pic as a t-shirt

"long after most companies have abandoned the service"

Can this even be considered true?

I think Nintendo is to blame regarding VC slacking ass.

WTF?

When did companies start abandoning the virtual console?

I wonder, how much Zenny they are going to charge?

I think they wanted $10 for arcade titles, which is kind of nuts to me given that some of these are less than 500kb in size. I really wish they'd rethink that.

Black Tiger is quite fun, though.

@Softserve Equating dollars to file size makes no sense. Ever.
Should assembly programmers work for table scraps and a dirty blanket?
Should Microsoft charge per Gig of install space?
What is your point?

@Solar Jetman My point is that a lot of these arcade games are especially old, especially small and not worth $10 when SNES and N64 games cost less.

If you think Mappy should cost $10, I don't know what to tell you. Sometimes size DOES matter, especially when something is overly small.
