Surely its not going to be AvP Arcade game as would they have included it in the Capcom Beat em Up Bundle they release last year?
Unless its going to be DLC for it including other licensed games so if they do get delisted for licensing issues later on the main game wont have to be taken down!??

The thought of AVP coming back on only a Plug-in-Play arcade stick after 25 years is bothering the hell out of me.
It kind of bothers me as well. Why can it be on this machine, but not added to the Capcom Beat-em-up collection released last year. Probably some weird licensing issue, but still.
I'm not interested in a standalone piece of hardware that's going to take up space when I'm not using it. I would much rather buy this collection on any of the existing platforms.
Like, if Capcom goes for broke and it's something ridiculous like the Virtua Stick Pro, then I'm for it, lol.
It's probably impossible with WB Games now and days, but Capcom seems to love to do this to test out the possibility of a new title from a franchise.
Same here. I hope it's both this plug and play as well as another digital collection.
did those use sanwa or were the parts in house?If true, Capcom is bringing the CPS Changer back baby
Welp. I stand corrected.
OH!!!......so its a mini console/Arcade Stick guess ill give it a miss and just carry on playing these games on MAME with my current arcade stick.
Thanks for nothing Capcom!

Because Capcom knows people want a legal way to play AvP/Progear badly enough to shell out $$$ for a mini-console. If the arcade stick just have retreads of already ported games (SF2, Final Fight, etc) no one would give it a second look.
it's funny too because Progear is so good that my initial reaction in this thread was like "urgh if I have to" but now I'm all steamed
I see. It is the whole Star Fox 2 for the SNES mini all over again to push the product.
If the product is being centered around AvP, well, beat em ups are kind of boring tbh (at least when they're free to play), doubly so if it's single player only.
If it is indeed a mini console for CP System , here is all the games released for CP System I , II and III , A total of 72 game , curious how many of them will end up in that mini console
Really interested to see what parts they use for the stick and buttons, and how good the emulation is. But playing two players on one giant solid fight stick doesn't exactly sound like an elegant experience.
Star Fox 2 was a very nice surprise, because Nintendo didn't need it to sell millions of SNES Classics.
For the price Capcom is asking for, it absolutely needs stuff like AvP in order to sell.
I can see it just being 5 games. AVP probably cost them an arm and a leg to get. Also the reason why its probably not coming to consoles. They probably had to make some weird deal to get it.
I hope it comes with a replacement back as a pre order bonus after I break mine trying to haul the CRT up stairs!
Yeah I am not thrilled about this, but even Capcom isn't that dumb.
I find 200 pounds hard to believe unless it's an asston of games, I can get the Neo Geo Mini Christmas Edition with 48 games and 2 pads for about 140 bucks
Capcom, no. Please don't bring back AVP only to make it exclusive to a plug and play device. You have been doing so well recently.
a majority of the cost would be the arcade sticks if they are what im thinking they are. I mean arcade cabinets used to be thousands of dollars for 1 game.
for that price, it ought to include damn near every single arcade game Capcom has ever released, including the licensed titles. still ridiculous though
Wow, the turnaround in this thread's really something. XD
But I definitely get it. A quality plug-in arcade setup is gonna cost quite a bit, regardless of the actual games themselves. And it makes sense for a game like AvP to be reserved for this sort of treatment to skirt possible rights issues, even if it comes off like really shitty baiting. You really gotta be into this sort of thing to jump in unless they really go all out.

The Cacom vs. Capcom dream will never die!!!! DX
If it were a quality arcade stick I could use for SFV and other fighting games then it'd be a much easier purchase to justify.
Honestly they should just release all those as DLC for the BEU Bundle. That way they don't encroach on the original release and can just be delisted separately when the licensing period ends.
Oh and throw in The Punisher.
