Companies Should Release More Classic Game Collections

Capcom recently announced a 10-game Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, bundling together the six Game Boy Advance Battle Network titles and the various versions that were originally released. I’m excited by the news because I was worried these excellent spin-offs would never receive a revival like the platforming Mega Man series did a few years back. Many Battle Network games are currently only available on the Game Boy Advance or the now-dying Wii U virtual console, while others remain locked away on the Nintendo DS. However, a large chunk of the series will now be available to anyone who owns a PlayStation 4, Switch, or a PC running Steam. It’s great to see these classic games on modern platforms, and I hope other companies take note of the preservation strategy Capcom has taken in recent years.

This month, we got a superb fighting game collection in the aptly named Capcom Fighting Collection. It brings together ports of the US and Japanese arcade versions of the entire Darkstalkers franchise and other long-dormant series like Red Earth, Cyberbots, and Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix. Even beyond these packages, the Capcom Arcade Stadium series (a new one is out this month) is filling in the non-fighting game gaps and reviving a litany of other Capcom arcade games. Before that, Mega Man received several collections to make the original series and Mega Man X available. I’m truly happy to have these collections at the ready on my Switch. 

One of my favorite parts of the recent Capcom collections is the archival images and documents included in the package. The early sketches, concept art, and other important and formative design documents are enlightening. Even seeing just a peek at the dev's thought process while
