Thank you, Capcom, for bringing more old school arcade goodness to the PSP. Now, if you could just start charging less than $40 for me to get my hands on these collections, that'd be great. Yeah.
Sorry, on to the good news. Capcom has even more classic gaming coming to UMDs this year. Following up their Capcom Classics Collection Remixed anthology, comes Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded. Featuring Street Fighter II, Ghouls'n Ghosts, and Commando, as well as a few unknown titles also culled from the PS2 and Xbox CCC releases, they're also adding the more obscure Eco Fighters, King of Dragons, and Knights of the Round to the list. Make sure you guys don't forget about Warriors of Fate! I wanna get my meat bun snackin' action on the go.
Full PR after the jump.
