The last time Capcom pushed a “mini” system in the vein of Nintendo’s NES and SNES Classics, it was more of a “macro” device, being two arcade sticks inside a massive Capcom logo. This next attempt is decidedly more compact, but it’s still a little bulkier than you might expect.
As spotted on Amazon Japan, the Capcom “Retro Machine” is meant to simultaneously evoke arcade cabinets and CRT displays, with an arcade stick, a bulky screen, and even a rotating dial for volume.
The device includes 10 games – five from Mega Man, and five from Street Fighter. Here’s the full list:
- Mega Man: The Power Battle
- Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters
- Mega Man X
- Mega Man Soccer
- Mega Man & Bass
- Street Fighter II
- Street Fighter II’ Champion Edition
- Super Street Fighter II
- Super Street Fighter II Turbo
- Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
The Capcom Retro Station will be stocked in Japan from December 1st for 21,780 yen (around $209 USD).

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
