Give me a lighthearted recap
While many publishers have survived for decades, Capcom endures unlike any other. They've created so many classics that they could reinvent any of their franchises at any time and get a massive reaction. Not to mention their decades-long domination of the fighting game arena.
This week, Capcom is serving up some Black Friday deals on Steam, and there are a lot of games to choose from, both new and old. Here are some top picks to help you sort them out.
Resident Evil (Remake) - 75% Off
One Of The Best Survival Horror Games, Remade
The original Resident Evil was an absolute masterpiece that helped put the survival horror genre on the map. It was an impeccably designed game from a thematic standpoint, but it was also rough around the edges, which made it tough for modern audiences to acclimate to.
The remake pretty much changes that. It offers modern aesthetics as well as a number of gameplay and quality of life enhancements, so that you can re-experience this classic without sacrificing the core of the original. It's one of the best remakes that Capcom has ever done, and one of the most impactful remakes in the entire gaming industry. Pick it up and give it a try if you haven't already.
Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics - 50% Off
Go For A Ride Again
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 alone would be enough to warrant picking up this collection at 50% off. It's one of the most widely beloved fighting games of all time, and even solo, you could play it for hours on end and still not unlock everything it has to offer.
Thankfully, you aren't just buying Marvel vs. Capcom 2 with this collection. You also get the following:
- X-Men: Children of the Atom
- Marvel Super Heroes
- X-Men vs. Street Fighter
- Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter
- Marvel vs. Capcom 1
- The Punisher
One of these doesn't quite fit, but The Punisher is an old school beat 'em up that will give you a bit of afternoon fun. Think of it as the cherry on top of this sundae that's partially been stuck in rights limbo for so long.
Devil May Cry 5 - 67% Off
The Demon Returns
Not everyone was thrilled about Ninja Theory's take on DmC: Devil May Cry, and some thought the series was gone for good. Capcom came back years later and handled their business internally, though, as Devil May Cry 5 delivered on pretty much everything that fans wanted.
It also became a Capcom best-seller, and it's easy to see why. It maintains the larger-than-life boss fights and flash of the series while forging its own identity through a set of mysteries and plot threads.
Devil May Cry HD Collection - 67% Off
Just For DMC3 Alone
With any given Capcom collection, odds are you're going to get at least one heavy-hitter, and that's Devil May Cry 3 with the Devil May Cry HD Collection. Often regarded as one of the best character action games of all time, along with Ninja Gaiden Black, the third game in the series is absolutely fantastic, and worth getting all on its own.
That said, the original Devil May Cry is no slouch either, and holds up quite well, especially with the HD makeover. Even Devil May Cry 2 might keep you entertained for a rainy weekend, as you can see the polarizing sophomore entry for yourself in this collection without having to buy it individually.
Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection - 68% Off
Start With Volume 1
Mega Man is an enduring character because he has remained relevant beyond the 2D platforming genre. Battle Network is a fantastic strategy game, so much so that some developers have cited it as a direct influence on their work. It also boasts a fully-fledged world that's worth diving into, with multiple layers to uncover.
Both Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection entries (Volumes 1 and 2) are on sale. Start with the first volume and see if you like it, then consider picking up the second.
Capcom Arcade Stadium Complete Pack - 67% Off
Classic Games With A Charming Package
Although the Capcom Arcade Stadium package has an odd monetization system, the gist is that it's a way to play a ton of old school arcade games from Capcom's storied history. There's pretty much any genre you can think of on offer, with a ton of tweaks and options to suit the games to your needs.
In particular, it's one of the few ways to play Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, unique co-op fighting games that pit you against a series of Robot Masters and Dr. Wily.
Dragon's Dogma 2 - 58% Off
This Will Keep You Occupied For A While
Dragon's Dogma 2 isn't for everyone, but any RPG fan owes it to themselves to check it out at some point. One of the key draws of the game is a sprawling high fantasy open world, complete with NPCs who chatter about and often have interesting things to say.
It's completely open-ended in the sense that you can pretty much play with any combat style that you want, and you can even go so far as to customize your entire party. At a discount, it's a great pickup for genre fans.
The Disney Afternoon Collection - 75% Off
It's Not All Nostalgia
Even if you didn't grow up as a '90s kid, the Disney Afternoon Collection has several retro classics that everyone should cross off their bucket list. The original Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers is a great pick-up and play sidescrolling platformer, that also happens to host a very accessible co-op campaign.
Here are all of the games on offer with the collection:
- Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers
- Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers 2
- DuckTales
- DuckTales 2
- Darkwing Duck
- TaleSpin
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy - 67% Off
No Objection Here
If you've ever wanted to check out the Phoenix Wright series, now is the time. Although many Phoenix Wright collections are on sale throughout Black Friday, the beginning is a very good place to start. You'll get the first three games that kicked it all off, and playing through them can help you better understand the colorful cast of characters if you decide to keep forging ahead with the series.
The Trilogy offers 14 episodes, each memorable in its own way.
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
If You Need A Fresh Pick
While it seems out of left field for folks who haven't played Ghost Trick yet, this is easily one of Capcom's best games during the mid-point in their run in the gaming industry. Directed by the creator of the Ace Attorney series, the game is similarly fascinating, and this HD-remaster is the perfect time to play it sight unseen. The less you know about Ghost Trick, the better, but suffice it to say that it's a fantastic romp from start to finish, and won't take more than a weekend to complete.
Make sure you grab at least one of these games, but no matter what you pick up, Capcom is going to continue to pump out classics, and they'll likely be on sale again one day.
