A while back I lamented that Capcom just isn't releasing their classic brawlers for consoles and PC like they did the D&D brawlers. Well, that's changing.
That's seven of the best they ever made. It's not all of them, because those left out are licensed tie-ins (e.g. Cadillacs & Dinosaurs), but of their original works this is what so many of us longed for- and sought out emulators like MAME to play. The side-scrolling brawler is one of the purest expressions of the Way of the Gamer: no bullshit, no fluff, no wasted time- just get on with it and get it on good and hard. When you play later successors such as Castle Crashers and Viking Squad, this is what they are calling back to and it remains as glorious now as it was in the heydays of the arcades.
Niche Gamer passed on the announcement recently, along with a follow-up of the PC version's delay, but nonetheless this is going on my Wish List for both PC and (as soon as I can get one) PS4.
