I had so many posters in my Capcom collection that I had to break them over several separate blogs. Here's a reminder for any Street Fighter, or fighting game fans in general. If you want to get into collecting the posters then try to track down the game guides from Japan. The gems in my collection came from Gamest. It was the premier arcade magazine through the '90s. When they published guides, which they called MOOKS after Magazine-Book they often included a poster.
I thought the 3D remake of Bionic Commando absolutely failed to capture the magic of the original NES hit. I called it one of my favorite games of all time. If you can track down a copy of the 2.5D "Rearmed" remake I implore you to check it out. Sadly the 3D remake failed in every regard, and pretty much buried the franchise.
My friend was actually in Japan for work, and he asked me if he could pick anything up for me. I said anything from Capcom would be great. He got me a Capcom Girls Calendar that featured some art that I do not think was published in any other artbook. It's certainly one of my treasures.
I also have a collection of Capcom Secret Files. These were previews that were only available for arcade operators in Japan. I don't have all of them (yet) but I do have some gems in my collection.
Are there any rare items from a favorite game studio that you're proud of? I’d like to read about them in the comments section. As always if you would like to sponsor me
