The Capcom Home Arcade is official, and it’s, er, really quite something.
Did you ever look at your SNES Classic Mini, and wish it was a lot bigger? Or your NES Classic Mini, and wish it cost three times as much? Or your PlayStation Classic, and wish that – instead of that svelte, adorable approximation of its forebear – it was instead modelled on the word ‘PlayStation’?
That’s certainly not the elevator pitch behind the Capcom Home Arcade, but it does about sum it up.
Here are the essential details:
The Capcom Home Arcade is, for some reason, a giant Capcom logo. No, it’s not a miniature arcade cabinet, like the Namco Mini Museum devices. It’s 75cm long, 22cm wide, and is resplendent in Capcom’s blue and yellow regalia.
No really, it’s literally a big 3D model of the word ‘Capcom’ with some joysticks shoved in the top. Any notion of colour-coded buttons, like in the arcades, went out the window to camouflage them in with the logo’s colours.
Yes, it’s very dumb.
The arcade sticks, at least, are decent.
