Capcom Generations (カプコン ジェネレーション Capcom Generation) is a series of five video game compilations produced by Capcom for PlayStation and Sega Saturn. Each volume contains three or four games from a particular series or game genre and were ported directly from their original arcade versions (with the exception of Super Ghouls'n Ghosts, which was originally a Super NES game). Each disc also contains a "collection mode" featuring history, tips, artwork, character profiles, arranged music (which can be enabled on the game themselves as well) and other unlockable contents for each game. The PlayStation versions of the games also featured support for the DualShock controller.
In Japan, the series was released individually with 5 discs. In Europe, Virgin Interactive released Volumes 1-4 in a single bundle (retaining the 4 discs) whereas Volume 5 (which focused on the Street Fighter series) was released separately without any ties to the Capcom Generations series and it is the only volume in the series to be released in North America. The 16 games in the series were later collected in both Capcom Classics Collection and Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded based on their Capcom Generations versions.
Capcom Generations: Wings of Destiny (カプコン ジェネレーション -第1集 撃墜王の時代- Capcom Generation Dai-ichi-shū Gekitsui Ō no Jidai) features the first three games in Capcom's "1940s" series of Shoot 'em up.
Capcom Generations: Chronicles of Arthur (カプコン ジェネレーション -第2集 魔界と騎士- Capcom Generation Dai-ni-shū Makai to Kishi) features the first three titles of the Ghosts'n Goblins (Makaimura) series.
