Release Date: 1998
"Capcom Generation 2" is a compilation of classic shoot-em-up arcade games released by Capcom for the Sega Saturn in 1998. This second volume in the Capcom Generations series reintroduces three iconic games from the 1980s: "Vulgus," "SonSon," and "Exed Exes," each celebrated for their distinct gameplay and pioneering mechanics in the scrolling shooter genre. "Vulgus," released in 1984, was Capcom's very first arcade game, introducing an infinite loop of gameplay without distinct stages. "SonSon" offers a unique platform shooter experience inspired by the Japanese folklore of the Monkey King, while "Exed Exes" is a bug-themed shooter known for its challenging enemy waves and power-up system.
This Sega Saturn compilation not only allows players to experience these games in their original arcade form but also enhances them with new features such as updated graphics and the option to save high scores, which were not available in the original arcade versions. Additionally, the collection includes a gallery mode where players can explore the history of each game, including concept art and other development insights that offer a glimpse into the early days of Capcom's game design. The Capcom Generation 2 pack was part of a broader effort by Capcom to preserve and celebrate its arcade legacy, making classic titles accessible to new audiences and nostalgic gamers alike on the Sega Saturn. This release serves as a historical snapshot, offering both entertainment and insight into the evolution of video game design and technology.
