Capcom Digital Collection Coming To Xbox 360 (On a Retail Disc!)

How’s this for Kismet-ic energy? Last month, I poked fun at Sega for releasing Sonic CD as a digital-only game, and now Capcom comes up and drops this cooler news in my lap.

Eight games for a mere $39.99 is a solid deal indeed, although in my humble indie opinion, this set would be even better (where applicable) if it had the arcade originals on the disc and a bit of history on the original games as bonuses. Of course, I tend to over-think any disc based release these days as something that should be filled to the brim with content just to please those of us who really don’t mind paying more for a physical product over straight digital-only content.

Of course, Sega wins in the end here, as just about any SMB game would be a lot better than a game based on a really kooky kids television show that’s older than most people who read this blog. Of course, Cartoon Network might prove me wrong one day (but I hope not!)…

A Colder Look For January…

Since Silent Hill HD Collection has been pushed back until March, I decided to change the header to something with a bit more of a winter theme. Fortunately, I have some SSX screenshots here, so there you go, Kaori flying over the content below. I’ll need to post the rest of those screens and some more videos soon, as the game is coming out next month (and is turning out to be really good, folks)…
