The nostalgia factor is all the rage these days, and Capcom is bringing players even more memories of the past. Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium is a sequel to the original Capcom Arcade Stadium, a compilation of games that brought 32 games for fans to play in one easy download. Now, Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium is bringing another 32 games to the PC, and we already know two of the games that will come along in the new collection.
Players who download the collection will all get the game SonSon for free. SonSon, which released back in 1984, is a 2D side-scrolling platformer featuring the titular character. Additionally, those who pre-order the Capcom Fighting Collection (one of the collections revealed today and available to pre-order soon) will receive an extra copy of the game Three Wonders. The collection was leaked initially on a South Korean game rating website, before being officially announced on Twitter by Capcom.
A vintage compilation
The first Capcom Arcade Stadium contained 32 arcade games that were purchasable in three sets of collections, each going for about $15 USD. You could also purchase each game individually for $1.99 USD per game. Those who downloaded a collection would also get the game 1942 for free. Standouts from this collection included Street Fighter II, Dynasty Wars, and Forgotten Worlds. These games would run through an emulator that allowed players to enjoy the game with different difficulty options, speeds, and filters to emulate the look of CRT screens.
Capcom didn’t reveal all 32 titles or the release date of this massive compilation, although the Steam page reveals it should arrive sometime in June 2022. In addition, Capcom didn’t reveal how it would price Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium when it launches for PC. It’s likely Capcom will keep the same pricing model as the original compilation. You can check out the original Capcom Arcade Stadium on the official website here, and partake in some arcade gaming action.
