More On: Capcom Arcade Cabinet
Capcom has finally revealed their full gameplan for the Capcom Arcade Cabinet on the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. Starting on February 19 and continuing through May, Capcom will release 15 of their greatest arcade titles from the 80‘s.

The Capcom Arcade Cabinet is more of a platform than an actual game; the individual games will be purchased individually so you can mix and match them as you please. Each version will feature different social benefits such as having the ability to post screenshots to Facebook on the XBLA and uploading captured gameplay videos to Youtube through the PSN.
