A new batch of South Korean game ratings has sparked speculation that Capcom could be preparing a collection of classic console games, with beloved franchises such as Mega Man, Final Fight and Breath of Fire among the titles listed.
As reported by Gematsu, the Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea has rated 29 classic Capcom games, including several releases originally associated with Nintendo’s older consoles. While Capcom has yet to announce a new compilation, the selection suggests the company could be looking beyond its existing arcade collections for another way to bring its back catalogue to modern audiences.
The list spans several generations of Capcom releases, from the original Mega Man through Mega Man 5 and Mega Man X, alongside Breath of Fire and Breath of Fire II. Fans of the company’s action games also have plenty to look forward to potentially revisiting, with Final Fight, Final Fight 2, Final Fight 3, Mighty Final Fight, Demon’s Crest and Gargoyle’s Quest II among the rated titles.
Fighting game enthusiasts are also represented by Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, while the list includes other familiar names such as Ghosts ‘n Goblins, Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, Captain Commando and The King of Dragons. Less frequently revisited releases, including Mega Man Soccer and Destiny of an Emperor, round out the selection.
Although some of these games have appeared in Capcom Arcade Stadium and Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium, the inclusion of console-focused releases points towards a potentially different kind of compilation. However, the ratings alone do not confirm a new collection, its platforms, or when it might be announced.
For now, Capcom fans will have to wait for an official reveal to learn whether these classics are returning in a new package. If the ratings do point towards a dedicated console collection, the lineup could offer another opportunity to revisit some of the company’s most recognizable games alongside releases that have received considerably less attention in recent years.
