Deep down I just hope they'll bring the licensed stuff back.
Still it's nice to see Capcom bringing the old games back and selling them individually so more people will bite.
Edit: Just saying I got the part about "selling them individually" wrong.

Wait, they're selling these as individual DLC?
Not to knock on them; a lot of these games are really cool and good. But given we've gotten used to compilations with dozens of retro games on a single package, I think you have to provide something else to bolster the value proposition if you're gonna release them as separate items.
Do the games come with things like digital flyer collections? Production notes? Artwork? Developer commentary? I'd love for that to be there with the individual releases, it'd make them feel more like complete packages and justify the prices they're probably intending to sell these at ($5 - $10).

Only Ghouls N Ghosts is available individually. The rest of the games are on 3 packs with 10 games each.

I haven't dug for more details but based on the two trailers I watched (TGA reveal and one on the Nintendo YT channel), I think it's similar to Rusty's Real Deal Baseball on the 3DS, where you could buy whichever minigame you fancied and they are all played within the same game (in Capcom's case I assume a launcher).Wait, they're selling these as individual DLC?

While I'd be fine with the games as is, like you, I'd love to see some of the production stuff for the games I enjoy, much like how it was in the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle (Armored Warriors artwork is easily the standout in there).
Edit: Immediately upon posting I see that I've assumed wrongly.

Capcom did something similar on PS3 and eventually the game packs were dirt cheap. Their stuff on PS4 like the Beat Em Up bundle are on sale pretty regularly also.

I'm not against this release, but I would rather buy everything in one cartridge for convenience. No one has said anything about pricing, but I bet they are $10-20 a pack.

I own a lot of these games already. Capcom’s Collections on the PSP and the Arcade they had on PS3.
Capcom and Midway did something similar a while back on iOS. It was basically an arcade and you got to pick and choose which game you want. You could do credits or you could just buy free play. I have 1943 and Ghouls’n Ghosts already on iOS.
While I enjoy those games dearly, I’d love to see the unreleased stuff or the cabinets not released outside Japan. You can boot up some rom based arcade emulator and find games that have never been released before. I’m not exactly in need of another port of Street Fighter II.

Gimme a physical release like they did with the CAPCOM Belt Action Collection (or even Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 like they did on the PS2 and PSP CAPCOM collections) and I'll buy.
Cyberbots, Progear, and Giga Waaaang were nice to see at the very end.

all arcade games, actually goes to late 90s releases like loop master and gigawings too, so that nice that they didn't treat 1993 as a cut off date.

No WIld Guns or Last Duel either?

Cyberbots and Battle Circuit are the only ones that catch my interest NGL.
Wild guns is Natsume, loads of missing games still, but some we usually don't see

I subconsciously typed it out (probably because in my psyche I've associated the words Capcom and Deep Down together) but decided to keep it in while proofreading so that people in the know like yourself can have some fun referencing it haha.
Note that I didn't capitalize "down" because I wasn't intending to make it be a reference.

If the packs are any more than 10$ a pop (I'm guessing they'll be 15-20$). it's a no go for me.

YES. I've certainly found that to be the case. And I say that as a mega Capcom fan, they're by far and away my favorite video game company.
I have the "Capcom Generations" Saturn imports, and man -- like 1/2 of those games just aren't that much fun. Especially in Capcom Generation 3, they have some of their earliest stuff like "SonSon" and "Vulgus" and -- yeah, no. The only reason I keep those I keep those discs around is because the Street Fighter and Makaimura (uhh... Ghosts n' Ghouls, I guess?) discs are pretty fun, and Super GnG on there doesn't have the slowdowns of the Super Nintendo version. But anyway, I digress.
On topic, I can bite on this eventually if it comes down in price, as I already have most of those games elsewhere. The one I'm most interested in is Pack 3, which I guess has mostly (exclusively?) CPS-2 stuff. I've found CPS-1 stuff to be hit or miss (Final Fight and Strider are great, of course, but there are some other games that are kind of stinkers), but CPS-2 is almost universally all good.

Bad news guys. This is shit.
The games suffer randomly choppy performance, one instance of dropped frames cost me a life during the famous Strider mountain run. Also, the music channels are fucked on some games. I instantly noticed Bionic Commando's volume mix being incorrect resulting in the music being tuneless. I reset my Switch to make sure I wasn't having issues, and disabled data uploads within the game, but I got the same poor results.
On the plus side, the response time is excellent for retro games on modern platforms, the presentation is nice and all, and there's a great selection of games, but this is not a good way to play these classics.

Yo Neff, thanks for "taking one for the team."
After so many compilations across generations and different consoles, you'd think that Capcom would have had the emulation of these games down to a science by this point.
Pretty disappointing in general, and even more if they don't patch these issues.

It's not excessively bad, but as an example, the SF and belt scroller games run much better on the 35th anniversary collection/Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle respectively than they do here.
When your ports of retro games are outshined by Digital Eclipse aka Backbone, you know you've got problems.
If they can just fix the sound and the choppiness, we're in business, because everything else is great.
Slim chance, since those are licensed properties, but AvP was on that bizarre arcade stick thing a while back, so you never know.

Digital Eclipse generally does great emulation work. They developed Capcom Classics Collection Remixed for PSP way back in 2006, and the emulation quality was superb, to the point where it still holds up well now in 2021.
I wouldn't knock Digital Eclipse here, as they set the bar high to begin with, but there's no reason why a new release on modern hardware should have inferior emulation compared to a 15-year-old release on a portable. I hope that's not actually the case.

The technical underpinnings of these collections are rarely documented in detail. I was lead to believe Digital Eclipse based them on Capcom Generations somehow, but don't know anything concrete.

Does it offer integer scaling ?
AVOID this collection is not even worth a penny
