Report: 'Capcom Arcade Cabinet' coming to PSN, XBLA
Information out of the latest issue of Famitsu reveals Capcom Arcade Cabinet, a downloadable PS3/Xbox app through which Capcom arcade games will be sold. The app itself will be free, and includes a starter pack with one free game, producer Kenji Kataoka told Famitsu.
The only game specifically announced is Black Tiger, a side-scrolling action game from 1987 (and immediate proof that the app is worthwhile). Beyond pure arcade gameplay, Capcom Arcade Cabinet also includes "several modes" to adjust difficulty. "For example, you can adjust the strength of your attacks, the range of collision detection, and so forth," Kataoka said, as translated by Polygon. "This allows you to engage in training, and we've got support for turbo buttons and arcade sticks as well. I was able to use these functions to reach the ending on pretty much all of the games [we have planned], so they're great for people who were annoyed they couldn't beat them back then."
Capcom Arcade Cabinet is due to be announced in full on February 7.

The Capcom Arcade Cabinet app for PSN and XBLA launches on February 19, staggering the releases of 15 classic games through May 21. All 15 games are from the 1984 - 1988 catalog, sold individually or in bundles. Purchasing all five game packs or 15 individual releases adds two free games to your haul, both to be announced at a later date.
Games include Black Tiger, 1943: The Battle of Midway, Ghosts n Goblins, Legendary Wings, Commando, Pirate Ship Higemaru, Avengers, Section Z and more. Each game runs $4 (320 MSP) and each bundle is $10 (800 MSP), except for Game Pack 1, which is $5 (400 MSP) and includes Avengers, 1943: The Battle of Midway and Black Tiger. Avengers and 1943 are not available as individual games on XBLA. PSN and XBLA get the Black Tiger demo; players on XBLA will have one credit to play with before restarting, while PSN players get unlimited credits, effectively giving them the entire game for free.

PS3 users have option to record video and post it on Youtube, where as 360 owners can take screenshots and upload them to Facebook.
Whilst it's great to see these games being made avaiable, i've already bough both PSP compilations, Capcom Classics Collections on Xbox (vol 1) and PS2 (Vol 2) and Generations on PS1, wish Capcom had released likes of AVP instead or at least as well as these.

I was massively disappointed with this release as I have all these games on PSP, PS2 and Xbox already! But reading this ^ is pretty damned good
