A fistful of virtual Quarters.
Ask somebody born after the year 2000 what Capcom does, and they may answer with Monster Hunter, Resident Evil or maybe even Street Fighter; but their lineage goes much deeper and further back. Back to the days of shoveling quarters (or in my case 10p pieces) into a machine glowing with bright lights and exotic sounds. And it is with Capcom Arcade Stadium that they hope to transport you back to this golden age of arcades.
It is not the first time Capcom have done this, however. Over the years there have been a few Capcom ‘Classic’ collections. But to my mind this one must be the most extensive and interesting of them all. For a start there is the pricing model; At the time of writing the base game, which includes 1943 is free as is Ghosts ‘n’ Goblins (this is only free for a limited time). You can play these titles to your heart’s content, but if you want to expand the library, that’ll cost you. You have two options for purchasing games.

Capcom Arcade Stadium Now Available on Switch eShop with Two Free Games
Ever since the Capcom Arcade Stadium was announced last year, it has looked like a promising way for Capcom to keep their rich arcade history alive on modern-day platforms. Doing it on the Switch is cool too since it allows you to have a ton of classic arcade games playable anywhere. With multiple game packs available, you can get all 30 of the collection’s games for $39.99 in one lump purchase or you can piecemeal it with various packs. Those looking for a free slice of the action can enjoy 1943 for free no matter what, and you can enjoy Ghosts ‘n Goblins as a free download until the launch of Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection on February 25.
