Retro Gamer #269 - Capcom's
Greatest Fighting Games! Interview with Frank from The Fighters Generation
|
|
|
|
 For
over two decades, Retro Gamer magazine has built a reputation for
its historical and high-quality content, including in-depth articles, interviews with
industry veterans, and retrospectives on beloved games and consoles,
carving out a niche for itself by focusing on retro video games and the
culture surrounding them. Retro Gamer Issue #269 released February
13th, 2025 includes an incredible "special feature" all about Capcom fighting
games and their undeniable impact on the growth of the fighting game
community titled "Capcom's Greatest Fighting Games".
|
This issue not only
highlights iconic titles such as Street Fighter
II, Darkstalkers,
Rival Schools,
Project Justice,
and Marvel vs. Capcom 2
but
also delves into lesser-known gems that have contributed to Capcom's
long-running legacy in the fighting game genre. The magazine provides readers with
insights into gameplay mechanics, character design, and the cultural
impact these games have had over the years.
Additionally, this issue includes an interview with Frank Joseph (@Fighters_Gen)
from
The Fighters Generation, a well-respected figure in the
fighting game community known for his deep knowledge and passion for the
genre. His perspectives add valuable context to Capcom's influence on
fighting games and their evolution. The first page of Retro Gamer's Capcom feature can be
read in its entirety below, which features the interview with TFG's Frank Joseph.

Capcom Brand Manager Matt Edwards (@TheStreetWriter) and Street
Fighter story expert Steven Mane also provide their insightful
commentary inside Retro Gamer's special feature. The combination of
rich historical content and expert commentary makes Retro Gamer Issue #269
a must-read for fighting game fans, old school arcade goers, and retro gaming historians
alike.

Honored to have been a part of
this!  Big
thanks to Nick Thorpe from Retro Gamer for the
interview and a great phone conversation across the pond. You can pick up Retro Gamer
issue #269
physically or digitally at Magazinesdirect.com,

and other retailers.
In the very near future, I will be releasing a video on my YouTube
channel talking about this special feature and further elaborating on how
a variety of Capcom fighting games impacted me as an arcade goer in the early 90s... so please stay
tuned! Keep it here on The Fighters
Generation for more fighting game news and content.
