I have pics disabled for the sake of my mobile data cap, but by the context I don't even need to see hyperlink text to know I'm missing out on images.
Please fix soon ResetEra :(
Anyways, coin-op Capcom is best Capcom imo. I've always preferred their arcade output far more than their console works honestly.
They're just screenshots of the games. Mostly just throwing out a nostalgia wave to get some CPS love kicking.
I still hold that Capcom has the absolute best lineup of arcade games for any publisher out there. So many CPS games still hold up wonderfully.
This thread is a great idea.
Also, Dead Rising 1 isn't just my favorite of the Dead Risings; it's one of my favorite games of that entire generation. 2 and Off the Record were still good, but I feel like the series has lost a little more of its charm with every game. I don't know if a game like DR1 even can come out of Capcom Japan anymore though; too much of it feels like a biproduct of someone trying to emulate something sincerely and ending up with something way goofier by mistake.
Even if they had the staff for it (which I don't think they do anymore), I feel like modern Capcom wouldn't have the stones to make something like that in the current climate. It was really off the wall in just about every capacity and mildly unfriendly to players who didn't want to play it the way it was intended.
But yeah - ended up as easily one of my favorite games from that gen as a result. Completing the "perfect run" (save all survivors in a single run) is definitely one of my favorite gaming memories from that era. So many hours. Really made me appreciate just how much thought and planning went into the clockwork aspect of it all as well. Some of the timing was too tight to be anything approaching a coincidence.
It may not have had insane volume, but last gen was overall pretty amazing for Capcom, really. I'd throw Resident Evil 5 and Bionic Commando REarmed in the top-shelf camp too. And although they are technically GBA games, the NA DS releases of the Ace Attorney trilogy has no trouble making the list.
