- Originally published on GameSpot: Capcom Classics Collection Remixed (PSP) Review
Capcom Classics Collection Remixed is a very classy compilation that gives you the chance to check out some of the company's strong arcade roots. And these roots go beyond the obvious choices, like the Street Fighter II games. With quirky, interesting games like Speed Rumbler and Varth in the collection, you might even uncover a few games that you missed the first time around.
The list of games on this disc is an impressive one. You get the original Street Fighter--which is just about as unplayable now as it was when it was first released--plus other old arcade hits like 1941, Avengers, Bionic Commando (this is the sort-of-lame arcade game, not the wicked radical NES game), Black Tiger, Block Block, Captain Commando, Final Fight, Forgotten Worlds, Last Duel, Legendary Wings, Magic Sword, Mega Twins, Quiz & Dragons, Section Z, Side Arms, The Speed Rumbler, Strider (again, the arcade version, though some say this version is more wicked radical than the wicked radical NES version was), Three Wonders, and Varth. That's a great list. As you play these games, you'll unlock tips, additional concept artwork, and music players.
The games are very well emulated, and the developers have included plenty of visual options to choose from for each game. You'll default to a graphical mode that maintains the aspect ratio of the original arcade game, but you can choose to stretch it to fit the whole screen, play in an enhanced mode that shuttles your score and other nonessential data off to the side, and more. Vertical games also let you play in rotated mode, where you'll have to hold the PlayStation Portable sideways to view the action. You'll have to put your hands in a somewhat awkward position to play vertically, but it's fairly easy to get used to, and it's a great way to play games like 1941.
