Following a teaser video published on social media, Capcom revealed on April 16 the Capcom Home Arcade, a "mini" -like console shaped like Capcom's logo, with 16 built-in CPS1 and CPS2 arcade games. One important thing to note is Capcom Home Arcade was currently only announced in Europe, by Capcom UK and Koch Media.
Pre-orders can be made on the official site. The Capcom Home Arcade will be available starting October 25 for 229.99€, and can be connected to any modern display with an HDMI cable. The console is powered through a micro USB cable. The games run on the FB Alpha emulator. Lastly, the Capcom Home Arcade also gets online via wifi so players can compare each other' scores.

The Capcom Home Arcade is clearly for unconditional fans of Capcom, and its price tag is quite high. Nevertheless, as commented by its CEO, Capcom is currently experiencing a renaissance, with the critical and financial successes of Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 2, and Devil May Cry 5. As such, it's not surprising to see the company try its hand at the "mini" consoles business.
