If someone told me I could only recommend one Capcom game, which would it be? Right now, the answer is Street Fighter 6. Its Modern control type puts special moves on a single button, which means even total fighting-game newcomers can throw a Hadoken. And yet the game has sold 7.2 million copies worldwide (as of the end of June 2026) — proof that it has captured everyone from casual players to the competitive scene.
That said, Capcom is a company with more flagship IPs than you can count on both hands: Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Ace Attorney, Okami, Onimusha. According to Capcom’s official investor relations data, more than 100 of its titles have topped one million copies sold. If you’re wondering where on earth to start, that confusion is entirely justified.
So this time, I’ve picked one representative title from each of Capcom’s major IPs — 12 games in total. No stacking the deck with a single series: it’s strictly one game per IP. A ranking where Monster Hunter eats three slots would never show you the true breadth of what Capcom is.
The scoring axes are four: Ease of Play, Graphics, Brutality, and Replay Value. Each is scored out of 100, for a maximum of 400 points. Every release date, platform, price, and sales figure here has been verified against Capcom’s official announcements. And honestly? As a guy who has followed Capcom since the Dreamcast days, just lining up these 12 games was a joy in itself.
Note that all prices and sales figures in this article are current as of August 2026. Capcom runs some of the deepest sales discounts in the business, so always check each store’s current price before you buy.
All 12 Recommended Capcom Titles: The Full Score Comparison Chart
I scored each title out of 100 on four axes. Note that a high Brutality score means the game bites back (you die a lot and it demands real improvement) — a low score is not a bad thing. Don’t just look at the totals; pick based on the axis that matters most to you.
| Title | Ease of Play | Graphics | Brutality | Replay Value | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. 1 Street Fighter 6 | 93 | 88 | 72 | 92 | 345 |
| No. 2 Resident Evil Requiem | 82 | 97 | 80 | 84 | 343 |
| No. 3 Monster Hunter Wilds | 90 | 95 | 62 | 94 | 341 |
| No. 4 Devil May Cry 5 | 85 | 86 | 80 | 88 | 339 |
| No. 5 Dragon’s Dogma 2 | 74 | 90 | 84 | 90 | 338 |
| No. 6 Pragmata | 80 | 92 | 76 | 78 | 326 |
| No. 7 Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster | 78 | 82 | 80 | 84 | 324 |
| No. 8 Mega Man 11 | 82 | 74 | 88 | 76 | 320 |
| No. 9 Okami HD | 84 | 78 | 55 | 86 | 303 |
| No. 10 Onimusha 2 | 86 | 72 | 74 | 70 | 302 |
| No. 11 Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy | 95 | 70 | 45 | 72 | 282 |
| No. 12 Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective | 92 | 68 | 40 | 60 | 260 |
The most striking thing about this ranking is how tightly the top five bunch together, from 345 down to 338 points. In other words, you cannot go wrong with any of the top five. From there it comes down to taste: do you love action, do you love horror, or do you want to lose entire weekends to the hunt?
At the other end, the two adventure games in the lower ranks (Apollo Justice Trilogy and Ghost Trick) simply can’t rack up points on axes like Graphics and Brutality — it’s the nature of the genre. But in Ease of Play they score 95 and 92, the top two marks of all 12 games. Let me be clear: the scoring chart is a measure of all-around strength, not a ranking of how fun these games are.
In the home video game software market, titles that sell more than one million copies are called million-sellers, a benchmark for a major hit. Since its founding, Capcom has produced numerous hit titles, including Street Fighter and Resident Evil, with more than 100 such titles — an outstanding record even within the game industry.

Over 100 million-sellers is, frankly, a monstrous number. And get this: among today’s 12 picks, Mega Man 11’s 2.3 million copies is the lowest figure on the list. A number that would headline most publishers’ portfolios ends up dead last at Capcom. That depth of bench is, as far as I’m concerned, the true identity of this company.
No. 1: Street Fighter 6 — One-Button Specials Tore Down the Fighting-Game Wall
| Ease of Play | Graphics | Brutality | Replay Value | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 93 | 88 | 72 | 92 | 345 |
Street Fighter 6, released on June 2, 2023, takes the overall crown. The reason is simple: Capcom itself came to demolish the single biggest barrier in the fighting-game genre — command inputs.
The official site openly touts a control mode that “smashes through the wall of command inputs,” and that’s exactly what the Modern control type delivers: a direction plus a single special-move button produces a Hadoken or a Shoryuken. There’s even an Assist Combo feature that strings combos together just by mashing the attack button. And of course the traditional six-button Classic control type is alive and well — if you’ve got the skills, fight with that.
Three modes are included: FIGHTING GROUND (the core versus experience), BATTLE HUB, and WORLD TOUR. World Tour in particular is exactly what the official description promises — an immersive single-player story mode — where you steer your own custom avatar around Metro City, apprenticing under street fighters to learn their moves. It’s an open-world RPG wearing a fighting game’s skin. Even if the thought of online matches terrifies you, this mode alone can swallow dozens of hours.
It runs on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam, and on June 5, 2025, a Nintendo Switch 2 version launched day-and-date with the console itself. Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Fighters Edition, which bundles the Year 1 and Year 2 DLC characters, released the same day. Total sales stand at 7.2 million copies (as of the end of June 2026, per Capcom’s official IR). The CERO rating is C (ages 15 and up).
Pricing runs 7,990 yen (tax included) for the Standard Edition, 10,490 yen (tax included) for the Deluxe Edition, and 12,490 yen (tax included) for the Ultimate Edition. Look, I’m bad at fighting games. I lose more than I win even against my skateboarding buddies. But the simple fact that Modern controls let me throw a Hadoken brought me back to the genre at my age. Honestly, that alone justifies the No. 1 spot.
- Modern controls put special moves on a direction plus one button
- WORLD TOUR has enough volume to stand alone as a single-player RPG
- PS5, PS4, Xbox, Steam, and Switch 2 — one of the widest platform spreads here
- Three separate editions make the DLC character situation confusing
- Seriously enjoying online matches still demands real practice time
No. 2: Resident Evil Requiem — The Fastest-Selling Entry in Series History
| Ease of Play | Graphics | Brutality | Replay Value | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 82 | 97 | 80 | 84 | 343 |
Resident Evil Requiem, released February 27, 2026, is the latest entry and effectively the ninth mainline game in the series. Capcom announced it had crossed 5 million copies worldwide within just days of launch, and as of the end of June 2026 the total has reached 8 million copies. Four months to hit that number is one of the hottest starts the series has ever seen.
There are two protagonists: FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy, now with an anti-bioterrorism organization. The setting is Raccoon City, the town annihilated in the events of 1998. For anyone who has followed this series for over 20 years, the mere fact of setting foot in that city again is enough to make your stomach knot up.
The big system-level win is that you can switch between first-person and third-person view in real time. The first-person horror of Resident Evil 7 onward and the third-person action of the RE:2 and RE:4 lineage finally coexist in a single game. On difficulty, “Casual” gives you aim assist on your guns, while “Standard Classic” brings back ink ribbons as a requirement for saving. The nod to those of us who played the original is shameless — and I love it.
Officially revealed new elements include Grace crafting items from infected blood, a new zombie type that obsessively re-enacts its behavior from life, and Leon wielding a tomahawk as a melee weapon. Pricing is 8,990 yen (tax included) for the standard edition and 9,990 yen (tax included) for the Deluxe Edition. Platforms are PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam. The CERO rating is Z (ages 18 and up only) — minors cannot purchase it, so keep that one point in mind.
- Real-time switching between first- and third-person views — play however you like
- Casual difficulty adds aim assist, so even horror newcomers can cope
- 5 million copies in days, 8 million total by end of June — a proven monster hit
- Rated CERO Z (ages 18 and up only) — an age restriction applies
- No support for last-gen hardware like PS4 or Xbox One
No. 3: Monster Hunter Wilds — Focus Mode Lowered the Bar to the Hunt
| Ease of Play | Graphics | Brutality | Replay Value | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90 | 95 | 62 | 94 | 341 |
Monster Hunter Wilds, released February 28, 2025, is Capcom’s current flagship, with 11.8 million copies sold (as of the end of June 2026). That’s the highest sales figure of all 12 games on this list.
The game’s greatest invention is Focus Mode. Per the official site, it lets you aim your attacks and guards precisely, and striking a monster’s weak point triggers special follow-up attacks for massive damage. Keep hammering the same body part and a wound opens up — and while in Focus Mode, wounds and weak points are highlighted on screen. In plain terms, the screen tells you exactly where to hit. It’s a head-on fix for the classic newcomer-killing Monster Hunter problems: “my attacks won’t connect” and “I can’t find the weak spot.”
Your mount, the Seikret, matters just as much. It carries a weapon pouch holding a second weapon, letting you swap weapons mid-hunt. When things go south, you can call it over, put some distance between you and the monster, and chug items to recover. While you’re riding, it will even auto-dodge some monster attacks. That’s a genuinely gracious bit of design.
All 14 classic weapon types return. Start a quest and an SOS flare goes out to hunters worldwide, enabling co-op for up to four players. Platforms are PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam, at 9,990 yen (tax included) for the physical edition and 9,900 yen (tax included) for the download version. CERO C (ages 15 and up). And the official site has announced a massive expansion scheduled for 2027. Starting now isn’t late — not even close.
- Focus Mode makes weak points and wounds visible — even beginners can hunt
- The Seikret’s weapon pouch enables mid-hunt weapon swaps
- A massive expansion is due in 2027, so this game has a long life ahead
- No Nintendo Switch or PS4 support (PS5, XSX, and Steam only)
- Easier than past entries — challenge junkies may find it undercooked
No. 4: Devil May Cry 5 — The TGA-Winning Peak of Stylish Action
| Ease of Play | Graphics | Brutality | Replay Value | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 85 | 86 | 80 | 88 | 339 |
Devil May Cry 5, released March 8, 2019, is the biggest hit in series history at 12.3 million copies sold. Per Capcom’s official IR news release, it won Best Action Game at The Game Awards 2019. In other words, the world officially crowned it the pinnacle of the action genre.
Why give a seven-year-old title 86 points for graphics? Because the photorealistic character work of the RE ENGINE still holds up today. The way it fuses scan-based human models with sword-swinging spectacle too absurd for physics was borderline unnatural even at launch.
The 88-point Replay Value score rests on the multiple playable characters and the rank-based combat grading. You run the same stage over and over, chasing higher ranks and refining your movement — and that loop, where the act of getting better is itself the reward, is action game design at its purest.
The suggested retail price is 6,990 yen plus tax (7,689 yen tax included). Platforms are PS4, Xbox One, and Steam, with Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition sold separately for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. CERO D (ages 17 and up). Full disclosure: I’ve never once pulled off an SSS rank. Coming from a guy who’s been divorced twice, take it from me — just like life, the grade you get reflects exactly the skill you brought.
- Winner of Best Action Game at The Game Awards 2019
- 12.3 million copies sold — the series’ best and second-highest of these 12
- At 7,689 yen (tax included), an easy buy-in for a AAA production
- On PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, double-check whether you want the Special Edition
- Not available on Nintendo Switch
No. 5: Dragon’s Dogma 2 — A Hardcore Open World That Turned Inconvenience into Flavor
| Ease of Play | Graphics | Brutality | Replay Value | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 74 | 90 | 84 | 90 | 338 |
Dragon’s Dogma 2, released March 22, 2024, is billed as an open-world action game and rated CERO D (ages 17 and up). Total sales sit at 4.2 million copies (as of the end of June 2026), and the official site proudly displays “over 4 million sold worldwide.”
I scored Ease of Play a lowish 74 because this game deliberately keeps its inconveniences. It strips away travel comforts, makes night genuinely dark, and forces you to manage carry weight. In exchange, the weight of an experience like “I just crossed a mountain” skyrockets. Whether you find that design philosophy fascinating or excruciating will split opinions right down the middle.
On the flip side, its Replay Value of 90 and Brutality of 84 rank among the highest of the top tier. Swapping vocations, raising your AI companions — the Pawns — and rebuilding your loadout as you trek across the world will absorb as many hours as you can feed it. If you’re hunting for an RPG with real teeth, this is the strongest candidate of the twelve.
Pricing: 9,889 yen (tax included) for the physical edition (PS5 only), 8,990 yen (tax included) for the download version, and 9,990 yen (tax included) for the Deluxe Edition. Platforms are PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. On top of that, Capcom has announced Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen for release on Friday, October 9, 2026, with preorders open across platforms including Nintendo Switch 2. If you’re buying fresh, waiting for that one is a perfectly sound call.
- Top-tier scores among the 12: Brutality 84 and Replay Value 90
- Pawn-raising and vocation swapping let you build your ideal party
- Dark Arisen arrives October 9, 2026 — the series is still in active rollout
- The friction of travel and inventory management isn’t for everyone (Ease of Play: 74)
- Buying now? Weigh it against Dark Arisen, arriving October 9, 2026
No. 6: Pragmata — A Brand-New IP Where You Hack and Shoot at the Same Time
| Ease of Play | Graphics | Brutality | Replay Value | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 80 | 92 | 76 | 78 | 326 |
Pragmata, released April 17, 2026 (April 24 for the Nintendo Switch 2 version), is a completely new IP from Capcom. It has logged 2.5 million copies (as of the end of June 2026), and Capcom announced it broke 2 million within 16 days of launch. For a brand-new IP, that’s a seriously strong start.
The setting is a near-future lunar world. The two leads are systems auditor Hugh Williams (voiced by Mio Tanaka) and the android girl Diana (serial number D-I-0336-7, voiced by Nao Toyama).
The core of the game is combat that fuses puzzles with action. Aim your gun at an enemy and Diana projects a Hacking Panel; trace a one-stroke line through the blue squares and the hack goes through. The armor drops — and Hugh puts a bullet through what’s left. A two-stage kill. Chain enemies together with Multi-Hack and combos come alive. Drawing shapes while shooting is a control sensation I can’t compare to anything else, and alongside its 92-point graphics, it’s this game’s signature weapon.
Pricing is 7,990 yen (tax included) for the standard edition and 8,990 yen (tax included) for the Deluxe Edition. Platforms are PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2, rated CERO C (ages 15 and up). I held Replay Value at 78 only because details on endgame and replay content haven’t been fully revealed yet — it is not a knock on the content itself.
- Hacking-times-shooting combat unlike anything else on the market
- A brand-new IP that broke 2 million copies in 16 days — the acclaim is real
- 7,990 yen (tax included) is a fair ask for a brand-new AAA release
- The one-stroke tracing takes practice, and some will find it hectic
- Not part of an established series — sequels and follow-up content are unknowns
No. 7: Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster — The Zombie Carnival Reborn in RE ENGINE
| Ease of Play | Graphics | Brutality | Replay Value | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 78 | 82 | 80 | 84 | 324 |
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, which launched digitally on September 19, 2024, rebuilds the original Dead Rising in RE ENGINE. This is no mere resolution bump: the modeling and lighting have been overhauled, it supports 4K/60fps, and the dialogue is fully voiced in nine languages. Capcom calls it a “remaster,” but the contents are closer to a full remake.
The gloriously stupid premise of the original survives intact: a photojournalist trapped in a shopping mall, carving through zombie hordes with whatever merchandise is lying around. Because the game runs on a strict clock, your first playthrough will inevitably miss things — and mopping those up on subsequent runs is exactly what earns its Replay Value score of 84.
Pricing is 5,990 yen (tax included) for the standard download version, 6,990 yen (tax included) for the Digital Deluxe, and 6,589 yen (tax included) for the PS5 physical edition. Platforms are PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. The CERO rating is Z (ages 18 and up only) — even the official site gates you with an age check. Nail that down before you buy.
- Rebuilt in RE ENGINE with 4K/60fps and full voice acting in nine languages
- The time-limited structure makes second and third runs genuinely rewarding
- A mid-range price starting at 5,990 yen (tax included)
- Rated CERO Z (ages 18 and up only) — an age restriction applies
- If timed structures stress you out, this one will feel suffocating
No. 8: Mega Man 11 — The Most Brutal All-Ages Title of the Twelve
| Ease of Play | Graphics | Brutality | Replay Value | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 82 | 74 | 88 | 76 | 320 |
Mega Man 11, released October 4, 2018, posts the highest Brutality score of all 12 games: 88 points. And yet it’s rated CERO A (all ages). No blood, no gore — and still the game you’ll die in more than any other on this list. Such is the terror lurking behind the Mega Man brand.
Total sales are 2.3 million copies, the lowest of the twelve. But that’s not a quality issue — it’s simply the market size of the 2D action genre. A number that would count as a solid success anywhere else lands in last place inside Capcom. This is exactly the “depth of bench” I mentioned at the top.
Platforms are PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. Being one of the few options playable on the original Nintendo Switch is a real advantage in a ranking where the upper tier leans hard into PS5 and Switch 2. And since the whole game runs on jump-and-shoot simplicity, it pairs beautifully with handheld mode.
One more thing: Capcom routinely slashes Mega Man prices in events like the CAPCOM WINTER SALE. Rather than panic-buying at full price, the smart play is to wait for a sale. Confession time: I was a Saturn guy, but Mega Man was always exempt from console loyalty. That eight-way stage select screen still gives me chills.
- CERO A (all ages) yet an 88 Brutality score — challenge to spare
- Runs on Nintendo Switch and shines in handheld mode
- Frequently discounted in Capcom sales, so bargains come around often
- Genuinely punishing if 2D action isn’t your strong suit
- Shorter than the AAA heavyweights higher up the list
No. 9: Okami HD — The Japanese-Style Action-Adventure That Turned 20 in April 2026
| Ease of Play | Graphics | Brutality | Replay Value | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 84 | 78 | 55 | 86 | 303 |
Okami HD is a Japanese-style action-adventure that arrived on PS4 and Xbox One in December 2017 and on Nintendo Switch on August 9, 2018. It has sold 3.1 million copies and carries a CERO A (all ages) rating. And per the official site, Okami celebrated its 20th anniversary in April 2026, with anniversary events and merchandise rolling out.
Draw a circle on the screen with your brush and the sun rises; draw a line and the wind blows. Twenty years on, this Celestial Brush system still has no true imitator. The 78 for Graphics is strictly about resolution — as pure artistry, this is top-tier among all 12 games. Its sumi-e ink-painting style is the kind of expression that technological progress simply cannot age.
As the Brutality score of 55 suggests, you’ll almost never hit a wall in combat. For people who aren’t good at games, or anyone who wants to play alongside family, I can say without hesitation this is the safest recommendation of the twelve. It’s a long game, though, which is why Replay Value lands at a healthy 86.
The Nintendo Switch version costs 3,289 yen (tax included) physical, 3,046 yen (tax included) digital, or 4,389 yen (tax included) with the bundled soundtrack CD. With PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and PS3 all supported, tracking down a copy today couldn’t be easier.
- CERO A and a Brutality score of 55 — even struggling players can finish it
- The ink-painting art style hasn’t faded in 20 years
- Cheap at 3,046 yen (tax included) for the download version
- Resolution and model detail show their age next to current titles
- It’s a long haul to the credits — not for players short on time
No. 10: Onimusha 2 — Issen Sword Action for Just 3,990 Yen
| Ease of Play | Graphics | Brutality | Replay Value | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 86 | 72 | 74 | 70 | 302 |
On May 23, 2025, the remastered Onimusha 2 hit digital storefronts. The original launched on PlayStation 2 in March 2002 and sold 2.1 million copies. This remaster is download-only, priced at 3,990 yen (tax included), with an Onimusha 1+2 Pack bundling the first game available for 4,990 yen (tax included).
Its Ease of Play score of 86 is the fourth highest of the twelve, and the reason is simple: the remaster added an “Easy” mode selectable from the very start. Players who just want to soak in the story don’t get left behind.
At the same time, it also adds the punishing “Hell” mode, where a single hit kills you outright. A gentle front door and a savage back exit, offered side by side — that balancing instinct is a textbook example of how to remaster a game. The Brutality score of 74 bakes that Hell mode right in.
Platforms are PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. Just note there are no plans for a physical release. A 24-year-old PS2 game, playable on today’s hardware for under 4,000 yen — and Jubei’s likeness is modeled on the late, great Yusaku Matsuda. The first time I booted this up, I honestly got a little shaky.
- At 3,990 yen (tax included), the second-cheapest of the twelve
- The new “Easy” mode lets even non-action players roll credits
- The top “Hell” difficulty is one-hit-death — a deliciously sharp edge
- Download-only, with no physical edition planned
- Built on a 2002 PS2 game, so expect less content than a modern AAA release
No. 11: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy — Three Courtroom Battles in One Package
| Ease of Play | Graphics | Brutality | Replay Value | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 95 | 70 | 45 | 72 | 282 |
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy, released January 25, 2024, bundles the fourth, fifth, and sixth Ace Attorney games — Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Dual Destinies, and Spirit of Justice — into a single package. Its total of 282 points is second from the bottom, but its Ease of Play score of 95 is the undisputed No. 1 of all twelve games.
That contradiction is the whole character of this release. It demands zero reflexes: press buttons, read text, present evidence. Rated CERO C (ages 15 and up). Even players with no gaming experience can sprint to the finish as long as the story keeps pulling them forward. If you’ve written off Capcom because you’re bad at action games, this is the one I want in your hands.
The three included games follow protagonist Apollo Justice’s growth from rookie attorney onward, and played in order they work as a single long-form epic. Platforms are Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam). Worth noting: the earlier Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy has sold 5 million copies, so starting with the original three games is also on the table.
The Graphics 70 and Brutality 45 are simply the inevitable output of a four-axis rubric. Nobody comes to a courtroom adventure demanding flashy rendering or soul-crushing deaths. Low score does not mean boring — full stop. I’ll keep repeating that as many times as it takes.
- Ease of Play 95 — the best of all 12. The controls will never stop you
- Three full games (Ace Attorney 4, 5, and 6) in one great-value package
- Wide platform support: Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Steam
- Collection starts at the fourth game — the original trilogy is sold separately
- Zero action content. Not for players who crave a physical challenge
No. 12: Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective — Shu Takumi’s One-of-a-Kind Puzzle Mystery
| Ease of Play | Graphics | Brutality | Replay Value | Total Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 92 | 68 | 40 | 60 | 260 |
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, released June 30, 2023, is a remaster the official site pitches as the return of “the masterpiece puzzle mystery from Shu Takumi of the Ace Attorney series, revived in high resolution.” The original came out in 2010. Its total of 260 points puts it in last place — but that number exposes the limits of a four-axis rubric, not the quality of the work.
Consider: its Ease of Play score of 92 is second best of all twelve. What drags it down are Brutality at 40 and Replay Value at 60. But think about it. What player on earth demands “high death counts” and “endgame grinding” from a puzzle mystery? Once you know the truth, you can never go back — and that one-shot nature is precisely the value of this genre.
Pricing is 3,990 yen (tax included) for the download version and 4,389 yen (tax included) for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch physical editions. Platforms are Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Steam. That makes it the cheapest and quickest game to finish of all twelve — as an entry point into Capcom, options don’t come more low-stakes than this.
For what it’s worth, my first encounter with this game was spotting the DS version on a used-game shelf in Akihabara. Playing the remaster 13 years later, I kept thinking: thank goodness I didn’t walk past it that day. None of my skateboarding crew had ever heard of it — and that’s fine. Digging up gems like this is exactly how you’re supposed to enjoy Capcom.
- The cheapest of the twelve at 3,990 yen (tax included) for the download version
- Ease of Play 92 and a length you can finish in short order
- A wholly original work from Ace Attorney creator Shu Takumi
- Once you know the truth, replay value drops off a cliff
- Based on a 2010 DS game, so the production scale is modest
Which Hardware Should You Play Capcom’s Games On? A Platform-by-Platform Guide
Bottom line first: the only single machine that plays all 12 of these games is a PC (Steam). On consoles, both PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 leave gaps in the lineup. We’re sitting right on a generational changeover, and that’s hardly unique to Capcom.
Here’s a full chart of each title’s platforms and CERO rating. Check it against the hardware you own.
| Title | Platforms | CERO |
|---|---|---|
| Street Fighter 6 | PS5 / PS4 / XSX / Switch 2 / Steam | C |
| Resident Evil Requiem | PS5 / XSX / Switch 2 / Steam | Z |
| Monster Hunter Wilds | PS5 / XSX / Steam | C |
| Devil May Cry 5 | PS4 / Xbox One / Steam | D |
| Dragon’s Dogma 2 | PS5 / XSX / Steam | D |
| Pragmata | PS5 / XSX / Switch 2 / Steam | C |
| Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster | PS5 / XSX / Steam | Z |
| Mega Man 11 | PS4 / Xbox One / Switch / Steam | A |
| Okami HD | PS4 / Xbox One / Switch / PC / PS3 | A |
| Onimusha 2 | PS4 / Xbox One / Switch / Steam | — |
| Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy | Switch / PS4 / Xbox One / Steam | C |
| Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective | Switch / PS4 / Xbox One / Steam | — |
If You Own a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S
Five of the top six (Requiem, Wilds, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Pragmata, and SF6) run on this generation. If you want to bathe in Capcom at its most current, PS5 or Xbox Series X|S is the optimal answer. Monster Hunter Wilds, Dragon’s Dogma 2, and Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster in particular are exclusive to this generation — no PS4, no Switch.
If You Own a Nintendo Switch or Switch 2
The original Switch plays five of these: Mega Man 11, Okami HD, Onimusha 2, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy, and Ghost Trick. All sit in the lower half of the ranking, but prices start at 3,046 yen — roughly 15,000 yen buys you all five. Step up to a Switch 2 and Street Fighter 6, Resident Evil Requiem, and Pragmata join the pool, blowing the options wide open.
One caveat: the two CERO Z titles (Resident Evil Requiem and Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster) cannot be sold to anyone under 18. If your console is shared with family, sort out how you’ll handle those two in advance.

Wrap-Up: The Top 12 Capcom Titles, Revisited by Purpose
To close, here are all 12 scored titles one more time, in total-score order. The final verdict on Capcom’s best: No. 1 Street Fighter 6 (345 points), No. 2 Resident Evil Requiem (343 points), and No. 3 Monster Hunter Wilds (341 points).
| Rank & Title | Total Score | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| No. 1 Street Fighter 6 | 345 | Fighting-game newcomers who want to try competing |
| No. 2 Resident Evil Requiem | 343 | Anyone craving cutting-edge graphics and chills (18+) |
| No. 3 Monster Hunter Wilds | 341 | Anyone hunting for one game to sink long hours into with friends |
| No. 4 Devil May Cry 5 | 339 | Players who want to master flashy, stylish action |
| No. 5 Dragon’s Dogma 2 | 338 | Fans of hardcore RPGs with real bite |
| No. 6 Pragmata | 326 | Anyone who wants combat nobody has ever seen before |
| No. 7 Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster | 324 | Anyone up for gloriously dumb zombie-bashing fun (18+) |
| No. 8 Mega Man 11 | 320 | Players who want to die over and over in 2D action |
| No. 9 Okami HD | 303 | Anyone wanting an all-ages soak in a beautiful world |
| No. 10 Onimusha 2 | 302 | Anyone wanting samurai sword action for under 4,000 yen |
| No. 11 Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy | 282 | Story-first players who struggle with action games |
| No. 12 Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective | 260 | Anyone wanting to sample Capcom cheaply and quickly |
Sorted by budget: three games come in under 4,000 yen — Okami HD (3,046 yen), Ghost Trick (3,990 yen), and Onimusha 2 (3,990 yen). At the top end sit Monster Hunter Wilds’ physical edition at 9,990 yen and Dragon’s Dogma 2’s physical edition at 9,889 yen. All prices are tax included.
Remember, Capcom’s sale discounts run deeper than almost anyone’s. In big events like the CAPCOM WINTER SALE, older titles can drop close to 90 percent off. If you’re not in a hurry, waiting for a sale is a thoroughly smart move — I’ll say it plainly.
Lining up all 12 games drove home one truth: with Capcom, there is no single “just buy this one” answer. The fact that the top five sit within a seven-point spread, from 345 to 338, says it all. SF6 threw open the fighting-game gates, Requiem solved the perspective question, Wilds made weak points visible — every one of them steers hard toward widening the entrance while sacrificing none of the depth. A company pulling off that balancing act across all 12 titles? Honestly, I can’t name another.
Can’t decide? Start with No. 1, Street Fighter 6. Got the stomach for horror? Requiem. On a 3,000-yen budget? Okami HD. Whichever door you walk through, Capcom will not let you down.
