Compare & Compre Chaves de CD Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium XBOX

Like the first title, Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium lives off of the strength of the titles presented here. Even if it does repeat titles from the company's other, more focused compilations, the quality and variety of each one shows why the company has been respected in the arcade space for so long. Just about every title remains fun to play today, with no stinkers in the lot. It really would have been nice to see some improvements over the first collection as far as extras and online play goes, but it remains a solid pick-up for retro fans. Should the company go for a third compilation, we have to hope that it'll reach the polygonal era of games now that the sprite era has been all but exhausted.

A classic game platform designed faithfully to give you the nostalgia that you have at the arcade 20 to 30 years ago. Its approach to create a new experience rather than just a gaming platform was great, however the price of individual games feels too expensive comparing to those days. Also, it is sad that the platform doesn't support multiplayer.

Even if some titles would have deserved to be modified (because present in the Capcom Fighting Collection compilation), we must admit that the result is frankly coherent and convincing.

Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium is almost everything I want from a compilation. It not only provides a handsome slew of games, but it pays reverence to the experience, as well. Beyond that, it gives a lot of options that are pretty easy to figure out and configure. Switching between a controller and arcade stick is a breeze, as it should be. Maybe one day I want pixel art, and maybe the next I want phosphor glow. My eyeball-destroying tastes are catered for.

Filled with great games, and there's a lot to love. But a third of them are in the other collections. You also still can't pick a game from a simple menu, which I simply can't understand.
