I grew up in the 80s and 90s and witnessed the console wars but also the arcade cabinets that were still around during the time and I was always so envious that the cabinets always had such nicer looking games. When they were converted to the consoles or home computers these always felt like a lesser version, visually but sometimes gameplay as well. So I really dreamed of a console or a home computer that could run arcade games perfectly. Various arcade games from the 80s and 90s still have a place in my heart but when I eventually did play them I came to discover that they did not have the long term gameplay of RPGs, titles like Super Metroid, and genres on the PC such as FPS and RTS games, something that gave me much more enjoyment and satisfaction. Not to mention that some of these arcade games were bloody hard. I don't think I would be enjoying doing the same couple of levels over and over again in order to develop the near perfect skills to finally continue. Thanks to longplays we now know that once you have developed your skills that you can beat these games that they tend to be very short. Neat to know that devices like this really existed but I don't feel that I have missed out on much for it not to come out in Europe. A lot of us would not have been able to afford it any way.

While he said he was impressed with the arcade quality of the games, he mentioned that Capcom USA didn't think there was going to be any market for the system in the US, and that it was going to just fade away rather quickly, I got a Playstation instead. :)

@AlphaRaptor2k6 4 жыл бұрын

Hmm, so its basically it was an Neo Geo AES knockoff/OEM SuperGun(for the CPS 1), but less, yet the final game cost more but delivered less. Ideally, this console could have done better.....,possibly using a cut down more cartridge like format, like the AES did. In addition the format could have had a removable CPU among other common parts used in the Arcade boards leaving only the ROM and 'helper' chips in the cart. The Console itself would contain all common parts and only need those bespoke chips/ROM chips. Which it like most other home consoles. Only this might have worked.

Capcom pulled an SNK back in the early '90s by releasing an arcade board as a console!? Mind = blown. Well, the CPS Changer is definitely on my hypothetical, retro-gaming shopping list whenever I hit the lottery. Great find, Top Hat. Great find. In my humble opinion, honestly, Capcom could have kept this console going for the arcade purists and die-hard collectors in Japan well into the discontinuation of the CPS2 hardware. I strongly believe that if Street Fighter Zero/Alpha 3 was released on the CPS Changer, it would have been truly identical to the arcade version due to being, well, identical hardware. A part of me also thinks this thing could have been updated with a CPS3 add-on peripheral of some sort as well. Despite the console never seeing the light of day outside of Japan, I do think that Capcom should revisit an idea like this. They should jump on the retro-gaming bandwagon like Nintendo, Sega, SNK Playmore, and Atari have by releasing a "Capcom Arcade Mini" which would allow you to play their best arcade hits from the CPS1, CPS2, and CPS3 hardware in the privacy of your own home on an SDTV or HDTV, with the option to play the games in HD upscaled as high as 1080p and 4K resolution. The money would literally print itself.

It wasn't made for the public and Capcom mainly used it for an experiment. A lot of games on it were already on Snes and Capcom didn't want to get Nintendo off side. 600 units were made and apparently 100 didn't get into the hands of the public. There is a lot more to the story. I have serial number 4 and was given one by Capcom in 1994.

Wait its just an easy to use Jamma harness with controller ports, power and an AV out? I wonder of any CPS1 PBC board would run with it?

Capcom screwed up big time by the sounds of it

No, the video just makes it sound that way. It wasn't meant to be a huge system like the others.

and 6 months later the PS1 came out along side the Saturn. Which had more to do with it flopping than anything else.

I wonder why the last handful of CPS1 games didn’t use the enhancements of the CPS1.5.

Capcom could had modeled their home system like SNK's AES Neo Geo system and controllers. They should try it again now.

It's a real shame that consolized/home-friendly arcade boards didn't catch on. Hooking up arcade boards, even with the advent of superguns, requires quite a bit of technical knowledge and skill, and that's if they use the JAMMA standard. If they don't, well...better have a substantial background in electronics/DIY projects.

It’s weird Capcom went to the trouble of porting Street Fighter Alpha to CPS-1 hardware and charge extra for the game when the actual “console” part was basically a Supergun so could have easily been connected to a CPS-2 board without trouble. Maybe it was a good way for Capcom to burn off excess stock of CPS-1 parts? It’s also weird they didn’t try and separate the CPS-1 hardware so that you only had to buy the B board with the ROMs and have the A and C boards part of the console. I know there were some CPS-1 revisions over the years but I believe most CPS-1 games have been hacked to be compatible with the various C boards, so it can’t have been a major issue. Maybe Capcom thought if the Changer was successful they would also offer CPS-2 boards and therefore didn’t want any specific hardware included.
