Retrogaming is becoming one of the most important segments in the whole Japanese video-game scene, and Capcom is probably the company which has made the best of its own legacy since the 32-bit era. Persisting on the 'we WERE this good' track, they recently announced a compilation of 20 classic arcade games for one of the current 128 bits systems, a 'Vampire Darkstalkers Collection' (with 'perfect translations' of all the Vampire arcade games - they actually are including first and final revisions of every game, since Capcom used to 'bugfix' their arcade titles with several different releases of the same game.) That title is scheduled for this spring for the PS2, and also announced is the 'Capcom Retro Game Collection' for the PS One, which happens to be the re-edition of the Capcom Generation series from 1998, but this time with a history booklet and a reduced price of 2,100 yen. The first two volumes will be released on March, 30th.
