Capcom Arcade Cabinet is ready to bring you not only all the classic retro arcade games you know and love from Capcom, we’re sure you have them many times over. The online leaderboards they added are nice as well however the big addition has got to be online multiplayer. Now I know it does take some of the fun out of the arcade experience but when you are just itching to play some Side Arms Hyperdyne with your buddy in Alaska now you can! They’ve also added video capture which is a nice bonus but get ready for the influx of captures on YouTube. You’re best be is to probably wait until May 21st 2013 and grab the whole collection at one time as you’ll get bonus games but we hope you also get some kind of discount as well. Be sure to check out all the trailer after the jump below and swim in some sweet arcade nostalgia today.

PRESS RELEASE
Capcom Arcade Cabinet detailed
Downloading an individual title or pack will also give access to the Capcom Arcade Cabinet ‘platform’ which provides additional features including DIP switch functionality, a music player, and the ability to capture and share screenshots or video. When playing in standard mode, players will be able to access DIP switch-like settings to adjust their number of lives and difficulty, including a Casual Mode which tones down the difficulty level and makes it more attainable to see the end credits. Further features include 2 player online play for certain titles; a global leaderboard; a training mode with infinite lives to hone your strategy and an option to select either the Japanese or international versions of the individual titles.
In order to share their experiences with friends, PlayStation 3 users will be able to capture video of gameplay to post on YouTube, while Xbox 360 users will be able to upload screenshots to Facebook. Further additions include a sound gallery that allows players to listen to the background music of any of the games in their cabinet, and an art gallery which fills with new pieces as players progress through the games.
Game Pack 1 and the first individual title, Black Tiger, will be available on February 19. Xbox 360 owners will be able to play through the game with a single credit before restarting. On the PlayStation 3, players will have unlimited credits effectively giving them the full game for free.
