Capcom Goes Retro With the Announcement of the Disney Afternnon Collection
Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced The Disney Afternoon Collection, a compilation of six games that feature beloved Disney TV characters from the 80s and 90s in fun-filled adventures. The beautifully restored classic games feature crisp 1080p HD support and include all-new modes that can be enjoyed by first-time players and long-time fans. The Disney Afternoon Collection will be available as a digital download across Europe and North America for $19.99 starting on 18th April, 2017 on PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC.
Players will be able to relive their childhood afternoons with Disney and explore these pieces of gaming history with classics including:
• Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers – This classic lets players team up with a friend in co-op play as they assume the roles of the mischievous Chip and Dale as they take on memorable villain Fat Cat and attempt to solve the mystery of a missing kitten.
• Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers 2 – Fat Cat has escaped and his plans are even more dastardly this time. The titular heroes and supporting cast Monterey Jack, Gadget, and Zipper must stop Fat Cat from his evil dream of world domination!
• Darkwing Duck – Play as the original caped crusader and fight a city full of criminals from the infamous F.O.W.L. organization in this action-packed platforming epic.
• DuckTales – In this iconic platforming adventure, players help Scrooge McDuck fill his feathery pockets with vast riches from across the world.
• DuckTales 2 – The sequel to the original game comes jam-packed with more action and an even bigger caper set in new locations like the Bermuda Triangle and Niagara Falls!
• TaleSpin – Take to the skies as Baloo the bear navigates his plane through exotic and dangerous locations in this side-scrolling shoot-em-up.
All six games are new and improved HD versions of the originals and feature a number of filtering options that replicate a classic retro look and feel. This collection also offers new ways to play with Boss Rush and Time Attack modes for each game. In Boss Rush mode, players battle through challenging boss encounters consecutively, while Time Attack mode encourages time-based gameplay and provides online leaderboards that track the fastest times for each game. A new “Rewind” feature makes these challenging titles more accessible for newcomers, with the option to rewind time and enjoy a swift recovery from blunders. Additionally, the in-game Disney Museum will provide history buffs with a wealth of content to celebrate the era of the original releases, such as concept art, advertisements, character art, and music – all preserved in their original glory.
Resident Evil 7: biohazard sold 3.5 million units across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, Capcom’s latest financial results reveal.
Monster Hunter XX, which is only available in Japan, sold 1.7 million units.
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One re-release of Resident Evil 6 sold one million units.
While Resident Evil 7: biohazard and Monster Hunter XX sold less than expected (four million and two million units were expected, respectively), Capcom said the former gave an “overall solid performance” and the latter is “off to a promising start.”
Dead Rising 4, which was projected to sell two million units, underperformed at less than a million units sold. Monster Hunter Stories, which is currently available in Japan and due out in the west this fall, also underperformed.
The Legacy Lives On With Mega Man Legacy Collection 2
The legacy continues, as Capcom today announced Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, a collection of the iconic Blue Bomber’s four most recent classic side-scrolling adventures, complete with several all-new features. A follow up to Mega Man Legacy Collection, which contained the series’ original 8-bit titles, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 spans the evolution and retro revolution of the series. This collection will be available digitally for PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC starting 8th August, 2017.
A compilation of four timeless adventures in one package, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 features the most recent entries in the classic side-scrolling series. The collection also includes a Museum jam-packed with history and production art, challenge remix stages for long-time fans, and first-timer friendly options like added armour and checkpoint saves for easy reload. Journey through the later entries in the series with these four titles: Mega Man 7 introduced mysterious rival Bass and his companion Treble, while Mega Man 8 featured the series’ first impressively animated and fully voiced cutscenes; Mega Man 9 marked the series’ return to its roots with 8-bit visuals, music, and gameplay; Mega Man 10 retained these features and included three playable character options.

Hideaki Itsuno’s new game is “progressing smoothly”
Capcom 伊津野英昭监督表示新企划进行中
而《龙之教条》则在前不久公布，将把《龙之教条 黑暗觉者》带到本世代 PS4、Xbox One 和 PC 三个平台，其中 PS4 与 XBOX ONE 版还将推出中文版。在登录本世代之后，本作的画面有了一定的进化，中文字幕的加入更是降低了剧情的门槛，所以有人猜测这次的炒冷饭是为了未来的新作预热。
After previously teasing a new game announcement in 2017, Hideaki Itsuno—who directed Devil May Cry 2, Devil May Cry 3, Devil May Cry 4, Dragon’s Dogma, and Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen—has posted an update on Twitter apologizing for his game’s lack of appearance at E3 2017.
“I’m sorry I didn’t announce anything at E3,” Itsuno said. “My project is progressing smoothly, so please look forward to the announcement.”

With this agreement as a starting point, Capcom will continue to explore cross-licensing opportunities in order to safeguard its patents while improving the user experience and contributing to a healthier game industry.
