Alien vs. Predator is pretty exciting, since it seemed like it might never get a home release. I don't really get why they're doing the original Darkstalkers instead of Night Warriors, though, since it's basically the DS equivalent of Street Fighter II Turbo.

Steep price for a plug'n'play while it's great it has progear and alien vs predator.It just having 16 games makes it's selection rather slim to be begin with,this should have been a compilation instead for consoles.Also just the first darkstalker it's sequels night warriors and vampire savior are way better compared to the first one.

Where is Fapjack when you need him? I’m impressed they are doing AvP but that’s about it. I’m not sure how many people realize this but eBay is loaded with HDMI-ready double stick superguns with multiboards built in them and the price is usually hilariously low and they aren’t all weird shaped. To buy this you’d really have to insist on only playing legit ROMs or something like that. The one they build in the factory next store is a lot cheaper with a lot more software on it. Don’t get me wrong, if it worked well this is easily the best thing Capcom has put out in ages IMO but they weren’t the first to think of it, sadly for them. What will the upgrade system be for this? There has to be one looking at the game list.

Guess this is for the real Capcom fanboy the, those willing to pony up $ for the knowledge it's legit. I heard somewhere that it will have leader boards(hence wifi) and underneath it's running a "licenced" Finalburn Alpha, whatever that means. Maybe worth the cost versus some buggy/slow Chinese knock off. Personally, I do not plan on buying one since it would not offer me anything that I don't already have not need.

It is purportedly using real Sanwa parts, so it should be high quality

My only worries are: 1) it was made with an open source emulator that they don't have the rights to sell this way unless they put all their code back into the source which they won't 2) it's only 2x the size of my house, I hoped it'd be a little bigger

Licensing issues for FBA aside, if this does release, having a legit source of these ROMs at that price would be amazing for someone that wants to legally run a barcade/retro arcade. At the moment a lot of places use reproduction cabinets. My local one has about a dozen, and while the cabinets look the part, the emulation is shit, and the fucking Street Fighter II machine uses Happ Competition sticks while Wrestlefest uses Sanwa :mind blown:. To say nothing of the fact that they don't actually own a license for the ROMs they use.
If a place were to dump the ROMs off of this thing, they'd be able to run every game on it in a dedicated cab and be good to go legally (as long as they keep it at one instance of each ROM per stick)

This is a home console. Charging people to play it would not be “legit”. When Capcom makes something designed for operators its usually over $1000.

I don’t think offering video games to play is considered requiring a performance license in the US. Might in other countries, though.

Nobody cares about any of that crap. It’s been decades since an arcade publisher sued anyone for things like this. It’s %100 not for amusement operators though. Capcom has a completely different division for that...or did at one point. I don’t think they make anything Amusement anymore but my point is “wanting to be legit” and charging people to play your ROMs that weren’t licensed for operator use are two opposing things.

This is a home console. Charging people to play it would not be “legit”. When Capcom makes something designed for operators its usually over $1000. Nah, there's no difference. It might be "intended" for home use, but ROM is a ROM regardless, if you own it, you can do what you like with it. Even if you own a faulty arcade board, you still legally own that ROM and technically you need to extract that specific ROMset, but you can then emulate it and do what you want. There's actually a precedent for this when Hanaho released their Hotrod arcade stick which used MAME and included several Capcom arcade ROMs. The only way I can see it being different is if they included some kind of license agreement or edited the ROM somehow to include a message saying it's not licensed for public use? But I doubt they would, and I'm not even sure if that would be legally enforceable. Another friend was telling me that there's no real organization that goes after misuse of ROMs like there is (in the UK at least), and I get that - it would probably have to be a suit by Capcom etc themselves, and they probably aren't too fussed. Still, it is illegal, and this provides by far the cheapest way to do things legally.
