Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium

Between Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium and its predecessor, you’ve got nearly all of Capcom’s most celebrated titles across two epic volumes, both featuring plenty of long-lost rarities too. Sure, a lot of these titles are present in other collections, and you’re basically going to be playing local couch multiplayer, but if you’re after some of the best gaming experiences from the ’90s, then you simply cannot go wrong here. Besides, even the full price of admission is far less than what you would pay for a SEGA Saturn copy of Three Wonders.

As long as you’re okay with its unreasonable lack of online functionality and screen filter niggles, there are hundreds of hours of fun to be had with Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium. 32 mostly excellent games and another historically notable preservation piece, it recalls the essence of what an arcade felt like. Achieving that feeling, however brief, will be enough to justify a purchase for those with an affinity for gaming’s rich history.

Ultimately, Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium is a truly delightful compilation, able to make anyone (re) experience one of the most hilarious eras in videogame history, all with a setting that oozes old school passion from every pore, between lights in the neon, chiptune and customizable cabinets. A must-have for lovers of the classics of the past. A compilation of Capcom arcade classics that will delight retrogaming fans and capable of touching the right strings of nostalgia. Too bad only for the absence of an online multiplayer mode.

Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium is one of the best official arcade compilations. Not only does it boast a fantastic list of games, actually one better than the other, but it emulates them to perfection.

Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium once again brings together 32 of Capcom's best titles in one essential pack. It allows you to feel the nostalgia of the arcades, although it is not surprising at this point and it continues to have the same highlights and failures as its predecessor.
