So, that new Capcom plug-and-play console is really, really big, huh.

Well, I'm sold.

(sets fire to arcade machine I already own)

It's around the $250 mark, isn't it? For something that ugly?

If it looked more like an actual arcade cabinet stick, rather than a vast lump of white(!) Capcom-shaped plastic, it could have been a quick (though not cheap) way to throw together a home arcade cabinet. What were they thinking with this design?

I lik how they've stuck a usb port on there, basically saying "we know y'all are gonna mod the shit out of it anyway"

£200 for an arcade stick and an emulator. No thanks.

As wev said, and as I've seen pointed out on the internet too, if it's using FBAlpha as the emulator and has a USB port, then it's almost a given they know they're selling something that'll be modded to hell and back to play more stuff. Top-of-the-line arcade sticks built into something that you can just plug into the TV and it'll play everything you put on it? Quite a few people will pay that.

What were they thinking with this design?

Also as I've seen suggested on the internet, imagine all the famous YouTubers having this on a shelf in the background of their videos. A massive fucking Capcom billboard, surrounded by nondescript gaming junk. Yeah. You can't buy that kind of viral advertising.

I think it looks pretty cool. :eyes:

Wonder how arcade perfect the fighting game ports are, I'm sure there are people who feel the same for the non fighting games, but if SF2 Turbo is legit that's gonna' be pretty neat. Darkstalkers too!
