Ever since Nintendo released the NES Classic Mini, a nostalgic ripple has spread throughout the games industry. We\u2019ve since seen classic mini-consoles come out from almost all the major players from Atari to Sony. Some have been excellent, spurring budding DIY enthusiasts to build their own<\/a>, while others like the PlayStation mini haven\u2019t really caught the public\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n Now, a new retro console has been announced.<\/a>\u00a0This one, however, is a little different to the mini consoles we\u2019ve become accustomed to. Capcom is entering the fray with its Capcom Home Arcade machine<\/a>.<\/p>\n Capcom\u2019s foray into the mini-console market immediately stands out from the rest due to the size of the thing. OK, technically it is still a mini console if you\u2019re comparing it to an arcade machine, but it dwarfs all other mini-consoles, coming it at 74 cm in length and 22 cm wide.<\/strong> As the tagline \u201cPlay, Compete, Cooperate\u201d makes out, the machine is built for multiplayer use and these dimensions ensure two players will be able to stand side-by-side<\/strong> without bothering each other\u2019s play.<\/p>\n This all makes sense when you consider that Capcom is trying to recreate the days spent down the arcade playing games on your feet. All the mini-Capcom needs to tap into those days is power via USB and an HDMI cable running into a TV. With larger HD screens being the norm these days, this could create an arcade-like experience on a much bigger screen than the games were originally played on.<\/p>\n Capcom is behind some stellar arcade games like Street Fighter II<\/a>: Hyper Fighting and Megaman: The Power Battle. Both come loaded on the mini-Capcom alongside 14 other titles spanning various different gaming genres. You can see the full list of all included games below:<\/p>\n The mini-Capcom also sports onboard Wi-Fi<\/strong> so your high scores will go directly into a \u201cWorldwide High Score Leaderboard.\u201d This means even if you can\u2019t find anybody to play against at home you can still go up against players from around the world.<\/p>\n All of this makes the Capcom Home Arcade Machine a very attractive prospect. The only downside is the price and availability of the thing. The Capcom website says the machine will be available in Europe on October 25<\/strong> and will cost around \u20ac230 (about $260), which it puts it in a considerably higher price bracket than other mini-retro consoles. On top of that, it is currently only available for pre-order via the Capcom website<\/a><\/strong>, although Capcom says other retailers will come on board soon, and as yet there is no news of a North American release date.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Rise and Fall of Arcades<\/p>\r\n Read now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Capcom Home Arcade Machine comes loaded with 16 classic Capcom games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9073,"featured_media":135662,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1015,3150],"tags":[1675,1377,1666,1732],"usertag":[784,782],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-135516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-uncategorized","tag-2d-games","tag-fighting-games","tag-retro-games","tag-video-games","usertag-gamer","usertag-purchaser-gadget"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9073"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135516"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135516\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":326233,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135516\/revisions\/326233"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135516"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=135516"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=135516"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=135516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The Capcom Home Arcade Machine is housed in a dual joystick arcade machine setup and comes loaded with 16 classic Capcom games<\/h2>\n
