— Capcom USA (@CapcomUSA_) April 11, 2022 For those who didn’t get in on the first Capcom Arcade Stadium, one game (the original 1943) was offered for free, while all other games could be purchased a la carte (in the case of Ghosts ‘n Goblins) or purchased in packs featuring 10 games apiece. It seems likely Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium will be the same, raising the question of why exactly Capcom opted for a sequel rather than just releasing more games for the original Arcade Stadium. This company works in mysterious ways sometimes. For those wondering, the original Capcom Arcade Stadium lineup includes 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, Ghosts ’n Goblins, Vulgus, Pirate Ship Higemaru, Commando, Section Z, Trojan, Legendary Wings, Bionic Commando, Forgotten Worlds, Ghouls ’n Ghosts, Strider, Dynasty Wars, Final Fight, Mercs, Mega Twins, Carrier Air Wing, Street Fighter II, Captain Commando, Varth: Operation Thunderstorm, Warriors of Fate, Street Fighter II Turbo, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Armored Warriors, Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness, 19XX: The War Against Destiny, Battle Circuit, Giga Wing, 1944, and Progear. Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium will be available on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Switch (and Xbox Series X/S and PS5 via backward compatibility) later this year.
