Update: A new trailer from Capcom has now revealed it will be releasing on May 25 for Xbox One. Not long to go!

Original story: Following its launch on the Nintendo Switch yesterday, it was also confirmed Capcom Arcade Stadium will be arriving for Xbox One in the future, bringing a collection of 32 classic games.

Relive the golden days of arcades, as Capcom Stadium Collection delivers a wide selection of games. Available to purchase in three distinct packs of ten, the titles on offer bring back many iconic Capcom titles such as Bionic Commando and Striker. There will also be the option to individually purchase 1943: The Battle of Midway and Ghosts ‘n Goblins.

“Capcom Arcade Stadium offers three different packs of 10 games that each highlight a different era of Capcom arcade goodness. The collection also includes the free-to-download 1943: The Battle of Midwayand the separate add-on title, Ghosts ‘n Goblins. Retro fans can select specific packs or purchase an all-in-one option containing the 32 games together.”

While we still wait for a confirmed release date, the trailer gives an insight into the games available, ready for your nostalgic playing pleasure when it eventually launches on Xbox One sometime in the future.

Widely available but Black Tiger is one of my fave Capcom arcade Games!

Got this on Switch and bought the all-in-one.

$1.33 per game for basically an entire arcade is a good deal in my book.

@GunValkyrie I hate to burst your bubble, but they actually don't let you purchase the games individually - they're sold in packs - each pack includes 10 games, and there are 3 packs. 2 additional games are (currently) available for free.

I'm probably more likely to get this on Switch TBH, but good for those that want it on Xbox.

Got this on Switch already - great collection!

I wonder if Capcom has any plans to expand the collection.

This could be the de facto way to distribute Capcom's vast arcade library. The price per game feels right, too!

Giga Wing only released on Dreamcast. Progear, Carrier Air Wing, 19XX and 1944 are releasing for the first time on consoles. Really, this is worth it for the shmups alone.

Also, this will be my fifth version of Final Fight. 😅

@GamingFan4Lyf From what I've heard, they do intend to expand it. One of the games I'd most like to see is one I had never heard of until it appeared on my YouTube feed last week.It's called Red Earth and has some of the best pixel graphics I've ever seen. It's never been released outside the arcades so it would be a great addition to Arcade Stadium.

Ghosts n Goblins was the bane of my high school existence. I can still hear the opening sequence music in my head... I had to listen to it so many times.
