Capcom’s Latest Collection Of Arcade Classics Gives The Punisher Its Due

Folks, I think Capcom is doing the work that most of the industry seems allergic to. Companies like Digital Eclipse are enshrining historical moments of gaming culture with releases like The Making of Karateka, but Capcom appears to be one of the few AAA devs and publishers actively preserving its own legacy for the future.After all, 2005’s Resident Evil 4 has been ported to every conceivable system since it was released, and the company has recently established Capcom Fighting Collection, a compilation of all its classic fighting games through the years. The latest one of these, subtitled Arcade Classics, focuses on some of my favorite titles like Marvel vs. Capcom games, but it’s also got older gems that I’m grateful to have any access to at all, which feels like the greater point of preservation efforts like this. – Moises Taveras Read More
