Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle Reviews
Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is a collection that will bring back memories of the beat 'em up genre to an old audience and will show more of this genre to younger generations of players. While the games are portrayed in a faithful way and the local multiplayer works very well, there are some issues to solve with the online multiplayer and the options regarding the visuals and the sound feel somewhat limited. All flaws notwithstanding, Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is a marvel of a collection which can be enjoyed by everyone.

It can be hard sometimes to make collections for retro games feel exciting, especially if those games have been released numerous times before. Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle bucks that trend not only by having games that are still enjoyable to this day, but also by including two titles that are finally being released on consoles for the first time. A few issues mars the overall package, but not enough to put a major damper on its offerings.
With seven games of varying quality, Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is an intriguing package. While the online play may be shoddy, and the lack of extras is disappointing, the overall quality of the set can't be discounted.
Capcom Beat'em Up Bundle includes 7 good games from the nineties that will surely remind a lot of memories and entertain you, especially with friends. The onlines features are welcome, but that's all. No remarkable bonus.

If you're not a fan of the genre then you may well be wondering what all the fuss is about, but for everyone else, this is a must-have download.
Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is a celebration of cult classics and a tribute to a beloved genre that was never forgotten: for 19.99' you can bring yourself home a piece of history that still deserves to be discovered and played, one continue after another. In other words, don't miss this hymn to pure arcade fun.

Although the seven games on offer are good examples of the fun, but shallow genre, it's hard to shake the feeling that with a bit more attention – the kind Mega Man and Street Fighter received – this could have been another must have retro collection.
If you have fond memories of the arcade originals, you've probably already bought the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle. If you haven't, then you most definitely should. For the money, Capcom Beat 'Em Bundle offers a nice little slice of arcade history in seven games, two of which you can play on console for the first time. What's not to like?
Overall, Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle isn't perfect but it hits the right spots.
Capcom Beat 'em Up Bundle is a respectable collection of fighters, though the seven titles offered seems rather skimpy compared to previous Capcom collections that contained around twenty titles.
This collection of arcade favorites is a must play for historians and beat em up veterans. For everyone else, the completely busted online play and lackluster extras may be a roadblock.
Fans of the genre and those new to it should definitely consider giving it a download, particularly for the games that are appearing on home console for the first time.
If there's one takeaway to be had from the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle, it's that genre-themed compilations aren't the best way to repackage these classic titles.
Capcom Beat'em Up Bundle is more interesting to those who appreciate classic games. However, if you didn't play these games in the 90's, you won't pay attention to them in 2018. There are many connection problems, generic story and the lack of add-ons than could push the young players away.

As a fan of the Beat Em' Up genre, this collection strikes the proper balance with each game providing its own unique experience. There is a lack of bonus material and the online multiplayer is a little spotty, but the support for couch co-op is great.
Another problem with the online play is that if the host of the game leaves, everyone else is booted from the game. If you don't really care for brawlers, the games in this collection aren't going to change your mind. That said, there is a lot of value in the Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle, and I highly recommend it to fans of the genre or those who love couch co-op games.
Playing online is fun at times, but the constant presence of lag knocks that feature down a peg. And while the seven brawlers featured in this bundle are top-notch, the ones that are missing are too hard to ignore. Even still, the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is a pleasant romp through a museum full of the best coin munchers ever produced.
For all its issues though, the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle still impresses. Whether you've played any of the games it contains before or not, you're likely to find at least a couple that grab you and make the collection worthwhile.
If you're a retro arcade fan then picking up a copy of Capcom Beat 'em Up Bundle is a must.
Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle is a lovely collection that offers seven favorites for a discounted price-tag.
