Capcom Town
The Capcom Town website is not just a celebration for Capcom. It is us, the fans, who are receiving the gifts today. Because the Capcom Town website also features a ton of playable retro games.
In honor of some of their most acclaimed video games, Capcom has offered a bunch of titles you can play directly on your web browser.
The games currently available are as follows:
- Rockman (Japanese)
- Mega Man (English)
- Street Fighter II (Japanese)
- Street Fighter II (English)
- Rockman 2 (Japanese)
- Mega Man 2 (English)
- Final Fight (Japanese)
- Final Fight (English)
- Rockman X (Japanese)
- Mega Man X (English)
We have seen ROMs that are playable directly on the web browser in the past.
In fact, there are entire websites dedicated to offering games in this format.
For example, we covered the Eclipse browser-based emulation website in our list of the best emulators for Chromebook.
It is cool to see the actual game’s owner offering some of their classics to the fans in an easily accessed format. Something we hope to see more of in the future.
We’re looking at you, Nintendo!
