« Capcom Arcade Coming to iPhone: Street Fighter 2 Included »

 

Capcom is releasing a new iPhone App called Capcom Arcade.  It allows you to play some of Capcom's arcade classics on the go. 

Expected to release in early November, Capcom Arcade will include four arcade titles for free.  They are Street Fighter 2, Ghouls n Gohsts, 1942 and Commando. The menu aesthetic is that of a virtual Capcom Arcade, with anime-styled greeters, and arcade cabinets to select the various games.

The pricing system for Capcom Arcade fits its theme.  Each day you'll recieve tokens that let you play any game for free.  These tokens refresh once per day and you can't accumulate more than a set amount.  If you want to keep playing once the free tokens have run out, you can purchase more for $1 or you can buy the entire cabinet for around $4.  Buying the cabinet lets you play the title as much as you like.

There are DLC opportunities as well.  Slide to Play gives the example of being able to download a cheat for Commando that gives you a bulletproof vest.  It is unknown if DLC is coming to Street Fighter 2, and what pricing for DLC entails.
