Capcom Town Website Launches and Includes Playable Games

To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Capcom revealed a special website called Capcom Town. This is an interactive space celebrating some of Capcom’s biggest franchises. The Capcom site contains polls, a museum, retro game emulation and merchandise. It also links to portals for franchises including Street Fighter, Resident Evil, and Monster Hunter.

There is a lot of love shown for Capcom franchises across this site. The home page presents a cityscape full of Capcom characters while music from games including Street Fighter II, Ghosts n Goblins, and Devil May Cry plays. In the museum, you can look through concept art, game design documents, and early promotional material. The site’s polls are on a rotation schedule, with the current poll on June 12, 2023 asking visitors to choose between the Hadoken and Shoryuken as Street Fighter‘s most iconic move. There is also a small retro game library, allowing visitors to play five Capcom games in their browser. These include Mega Man, Mega Man 2, Street Fighter II, Final Fight, and Mega Man X.

Capcom Town looks set to be updated over time, as some sections of the site are currently unavailable. It’s likely that more entries will be added to the museum and retro game library too.

It comes right before the Capcom Showcase 2023, to be held on June 12, 2023, as part of Summer Game Fest.
