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.
