You know, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised when Capcom put a small selection of browser-compatible retro games on its Capcom Town Digital Museum website in June of last year. I was even more surprised when it added additional titles over the year, including the likes of Breath of Fire and Captain Commando. Given the site was connected to the companyās 40th anniversary, I certainly didnāt expect Capcom to keep adding games in 2024. But here we are! Some new games, popular and lesser-known, all fully playable on your mobile deviceās browser.
Just to get you up to date, the previous selection of games included:
Certainly a robust list of games, even if playing them with a virtual controller can be a little awkward in places. Anyway, as noted, we have some new games to play. A very Street Fighter-heavy selection, but thereās at least one cool surprise in here. The new games are:
Yes, you can now play the arcade classic Street Fighter Alpha 2 as the creators intended: via the Super NES version in a browser on your phone, using virtual buttons. Hot. All joking aside, these are free without any real strings attached, so itās hard to complain much. And wow, hey, Destiny of an Emperor! Thatās a really cool NES RPG that Capcom almost never reissues due to the attached license. You know what plays perfectly well with virtual buttons? RPGs. Get on that game if you havenāt played it before.
Thatās quite a solid selection of games you can play, though do be careful about your browser deleting the cookies that contain your RPG game saves. Iāve had one heart break with Breath of Fire that way. Anyway, Iāll give you one more way to click through to that website. You know, so you donāt have to scroll up to the start of the article. Itās right here. Go, play.
