Capcom's special announcement April 16th 3:00 PM GMT - £200 plug and play arcade stick (Includes Alien vs Predator & more)

Well that's ugly.

Decent game list I guess and sanwa parts is always good, but that design is atrocious. No need for that even on deep discount. Oh well.

Hard Pass, was hoping for a better game selection rather than Street Fighter 2 and 3 for the 1,57373783838 time. Why couldn't you include Dungeons and Dragon :'(

That's some ugly shit.

The list of games are disappointing. Not worth the price.

Dreamwriter · Apr 16, 2019

You gotta realize something about the price. It's not really a bad price for two high quality arcade sticks with Sanwa parts. Then you get the games for free. If it can use that USB port to hook up to PC or console, it might be a very usable item.

Danthrax · Apr 16, 2019

hey I'm just impressed they spelled their own name right on that thing

it could have been a CAPCPOM double fight stick

Yep, it could have been far better...
Won't be on my buying list.

Richardi · Apr 16, 2019

Can't wait to buy it at 60% off the price, in a few months off release date.

Post Reply · Apr 16, 2019

I wish it wasn't so gaudy. I wish it wasn't double-stick.

staedtler · Apr 16, 2019

Jesus Christ it's ugly....my wife would kill me if I had that in our living room.

Interesting timing, the 3/4 scale Final Fight Arcade1Up cabinet supposedly goes on sale in the next few days. It comes with Final Fight. Ghosts and goblins, 1944, and Strider. In fact, this cabinet was originally supposed to be a launch cabinet, and was specifically delayed until now...

Click to expand...

Click to shrink...

This got a release date now?

Yeah, 6 days ago they said it would be appearing in stores "in a few days".

StrangeRoboMemory · Apr 16, 2019

Holy god, that stick looks AWFUL.

Don't underestimate the demand for something like this. 200 isn't that much when you have people paying 80 for cardboard VR or 130 for an elite controller.

You say that like it's a bad thing. That would've at least been funny.

I was just thinking about how awkward it's gotta be trying to play this thing. If this was single-stick I could see myself putting it on my lap like a hefty fight stick. This on the other hand....

ThatCrazyGuy · Apr 16, 2019

Looks like shit.

Will pick up at a lower, lower discounted at later date price though, haha.

Cahpcom why.....

Danthrax · Apr 16, 2019

Anyone post the dimensions?

It's about 2.5 feet wide. Pretty big to just have sitting around your living room.

That's actually pretty nice! Too bad they made it their logo and so bright. If it can also work with PC games just as a controller, then I'll get it on sale.

Lakeside · Apr 16, 2019

Buy on sale, 3D print functional small case that will use a quality external joystick. The only trick would be the control interface.

808s & Villainy · Apr 16, 2019

Is SF2 the most re-released game of all time? I mean, I guess technically Tetris if you clump all the different versions together

Hopefully Capcom has the foresight to include picture hanger holes on the bottom of the stick. I could see people wanting to hang this on a wall when not in use as functional artwork.

StrangeRoboMemory · Apr 16, 2019

This has got to be one of the worst products I've ever seen. The game line-up is questionable for 200+ bux and everything about the stick is ugly as shit, clunky, and just seems amateurish. Kind of shocked.

Tetra-Grammaton-Cleric · Apr 16, 2019

For the price they should have included 40 - 50 games.

Honestly, they would have made more money if they released AvP digitally for 19.99 on all platforms.

Symphony · Apr 16, 2019

£200 for the ugliest arcade stick ever with a tiny amount of pre-loaded arcade roms probably running off a Pi-alike. Maybe if they'd styled it after the control panel from one of their classic arcade cabinets and shoved in a bunch of extra games it'd be worth it, but this is laughable for a well into triple digits price tag.

Admiral Snackbar · Apr 16, 2019

I personally love the look of it, but only because it's absurd. AvP is the main temptation here.

Waffle-Stomper · Apr 16, 2019

kind of want it for the progear leaderboards alone... but yeah I think I'm going to pass.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not.

Trailer for it. Eh.

edit: oh, posted before in tweet form, but here it is on Youtube

Yeah, it should have just been shaped like a box with a montage of artwork from all the included games.

And I agree that there should be more than 16 games on this thing. About 68 games were made for the CPS and CPS2 boards. Why are we not getting the vast majority of them in this $250 standalone device?

I dig it a lot. Gonna hang out under my coffee table. Very much looking forward to this. I've been wanting a dual stick setup for some time but been super lazy to build it.

Fritz · Apr 16, 2019

Hardware looks awesome, you're all crazy. Software lacks though.

I'm serious, man. As impractical as the shape of the stick is, it wouldn't look half bad serving as wall art in a game room.

At least in my opinion.

modoversus · Apr 16, 2019

Can't wait to see what homebrew modders achieve with the wi-fi function.

TheBryanJZX90 · Apr 16, 2019

This looks really cool I like that it's not just a box. I might get this if it's for sale here.

leder · Apr 16, 2019

I already hate future me for buying this. I can't skip the first ever home release of Progear, 1944 The Loop Master, and AvP. Also Capcom Sports club, but that's more of a curiosity.

But only sixteen fucking games, are you kidding me? Neo Geo Mini has FORTY. I understand the stick setup alone is at least $200. I know because I already have several. I don't need anymore arcade sticks. Why couldn't they have just made a goddamn CPS2 mini? Fucking fuck

Lakeside · Apr 16, 2019

I'm not that familiar with the license situation for the emulator. Is it possible that keeps this thing from getting off the ground?

More likely that they just go ahead and do fuck all about it
