Some of the first games baby boomers fell in love with were inevitably Capcom titles, likely found on classic coin operated arcade machines.  The Nintendo Wii is resurrecting some of the more popular games in a series of Capcom Arcade hits for the Wii Virtual Console Arcade.

The soon-to-be-available hits include six of Capcom’s oldest and biggest titles:  1942, Black Tiger, Commando:  Wolf of the Battlefield, Exed Exes, Ghosts ‘n’ Goblins, and SONSON.  The lineup is a nice mix of action, shooters and adventure and all of the titles are from the eighties…back when Capcom was the king of the arcade.

A similar Capcom Arcade collection is already available as an iPhone application, featuring the original Ghouls ‘n’ Ghosts, Street Fighter II, 1942, and Commando.  New games are added to the Capcom Arcade app every month, and users can purchase tokens to play the games in their entirety, just like the old coin operated arcade games.

411 Mania has more about the rejuvenation of the Capcom Arcade.
