Handheld devices have seen tons of old school games compiled into a single disc. Capcom Classics Collection Remixed is no exception. The Capcom Classics Collection Remixed is a collection of some of Capcom’s finest classics into a single UMD for the average PSP user.

These compilations don’t just give gamers a lot of variety to choose from, but also have that feeling of nostalgia, and is a great history lesson for those interested to learn what gaming has evolved from.

Capcom Classics Collection Remixed was already a compilation way back from 2005, before it reached the PlayStation Portable. It’s counterpart on the Xbox and PS2 even missed out on a lot of games, like 1941, Captain Commando, Magic Sword and Strider, that weren’t included in their versions.

Capcom has done well to emulate the games perfectly on the PSP, down to every last detail. Credit for this translation goes to Digital Eclipse, again. Load times are also awesome… it amounts to about 12 – 15 second to load a game, and no more loads till you switch titles.

Capcom has also thrown in some bonuses, such as unlockable artwork, game history and even some gameplay tips. Multiplayer wasn’t left out of the Capcom Classics Collection Remixed edition either. On the contrary, its easy interface is one of the coolest features of the collection. It locates buddies faster than any game on the PSP, and has easy options for leaving and entering a game with the touch of a button.

As in all collections, some games don’t match up to the standards of others, but the other games in the title make up for their lack of entertainment.

The collection includes 20 games, including 1941, Forgotten Worlds, Black Tiger, Bionic Commando, Strider, Speed Rumbler, Quiz & Dragons, the original Street Fighter, Mega Twins, Last Duel and the likes.

To conclude, the Capcom Classics Collection Remixed is a great choice for Capcom fans and casual gamers alike, providing hours of entertainment, and some great multiplayer choices. It has it’s own ups and downs in terms of included titles, but the Ups overshadow the downs enough to keep you wanting more.
