Capcom Classics Collection Remixed Preview

February 17, 2006 - Capcom's history is filled with beloved game after beloved game. From Bionic Commando to 1941 to Street Fighter, its titles are some of the most well-known and most beloved titles in gaming history. With the release of its Capcom Classics Collection on current-gen systems, the company put many of these games back into the hands of their fans.

But the portable market isn't to be left out. Capcom Classics Collection Remixed is a take on the console version and is headed straight to a PSP near you. Featuring 20 games, 15 of which are unique to the PSP version, the package features the same sorts of bonus materials seen on the console version. From remixed music to original art for the games, there is a whole ton of goodies in there for fans of these old-school games.

Speaking of the games themselves, included in the collection are titles such as 1941, Avengers, Block Block, Bionic Commando, Captain Commando, Magic Sword, Quiz and Dragons, Street Fighter, Strider, Three Wonders and Varth. And don't forget about Quiz and Dragons.

One pretty cool aspect is that each and every game has WiFi features of some fashion. Every game features the ability to upload your high scores to a friend's system and vice-versa. It'll compare the two lists and make a new ranked list out of your combined scores. Additionally, any game with some sort of multiplayer component is playable via WiFi, which is really the only way two-player would work on the PSP anywho. Up to four people can do battle digitally, for the games that apply anyway.

Another cool thing that really only applies on the PSP is the ability to turn the system sideways and shift the screen vertically in games like 1941. All games will feature multiple viewing options, like the option to stretch its 4:3 video to fit the PSP's widescreen display, but some of them have customized views. In the case of 1941, you still play with the D-Pad and face buttons as per usual, but the arrow keys are rotated to fit with the screen. It's pretty cool.

That's really all there is to say about Capcom Classics Collection Remixed for now. You've likely played many of the included games in the past, and if you've seen the console version of Capcom Classics Collection then you pretty much know what's in store for you here. The packaging and presentation features on the "unmixed" console game were pretty sweet, and Remixed on the PSP looks to carry on in the same vein. Old-schoolers will definitely want to keep an eye on this one.

This almost makes me want to get a PSP....almost, but not quite.

 

I wanted to get this game for my PSP, but I really wish to hear some more reviews before dropping 40 bucks on this game.

 

I almost want to kick your @$$ sometimes for the statements you make...almost, but not quite.

 

Kick my @$$??!?!? You, and what robot army?

 

I think just the use of my doubles alone would be sufficient...

 

1941 alone is worth the price!!

Now Capcom, bring 19XX to PS2 or PSP please.

 

Speaking of shooters...I'm proud to announce I recently completed Gradius V.







I'm a true manly man now.

 

You finished the game in one credit?

 

ONE CREDIT?!??!???????



Dude...I was proud that I finished it with 6 credits left in the tank.

 

Thats what shmupers do when they play shmups.


4,356,840 pts is my own record.

 

HOLY FARK. 4.3M pts...!??



I'm roughly 3.5M off pts-wise...






Okay...I'll...um...go sit in the corner now.

 

Recently I just reached stage 15 in 1943. Just one fucking stage away to beat the game.

2,196,990 was my score.

1941 is more fun IMO, because of its German theme.

 

I wish this would come to the PC..... I used to play some of those games @ 2am at the local aracde....... Brings back some good memorys

 

You can get a good chunk of the Capcom stuff on emulators...?

 

I believe so.... But there seem to be some good deals out there...I even forgot what a PSP was.. for $200 or so... I might as well and just buy one... I like some of those games...I can just keep it in the car or office, or bring it with me when i'm away.

 

If anyone is into the PSP scene, you would have been playing all these games months ago on the system.
