Topic: Capcom Now Open To Takeover

Yeah, but even Capcom knows that's not because of the actual game. It's because it was called Resident Evil 6.

And yet there top selling is not enough these days which is sad. These companies either need to cut back the budget or lower expectations. Not every games will sell 8 million plus copies just because there is 160+ million ps360 users out there.

As for what they said about RE:R I was just referring to the 3ds version alone and not all the hd remakes.

In the case of Capcom they sort of face the same problem that Konami has when they put out 1 or 2 games so those games have high expectations.

Have most of the game take slower paced gameplay like the original series with an emphasis on survival and limited items, now intersperce that with very fast paced transition sequences that play like RE4/5 when it comes to boss battles.

Square Enix here. You called?

It's simple. They "milked" Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and to an extent, MvC3. Quality suffered, less and less people bought the games, they kept doing rehashes, even after people weren't buying the games, and there were probably a few projects that they cancelled(Mega Man).

They finally got some money from Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and 4, but Ultra Street Fighter 4 is about to happen.

I haven't a clue who would buy them, if anyone will. Mega Man, Street Fighter, etc. are good IPs, but it really depends on who would be willing to spend their time and possibly company resources to utilize said IPs. If Nintendo(or any company) buys Capcom, they'd have to make sure a new RE game is in development, almost immediately.

If anything I see them selling off all of their ip's before anyone will take a chance and buy them. Maybe that's how they will stay in business and get rid of some of the dead weight. There is money to be had with a lot of their franchises!

Selling off mega man would make millions.

Exactly, and why not, it's just sitting there with nothing new in a long time.

huh we just had a new Megaman game.

@shingi_70 No, that's a Rockman game ;3

You're comparing a studio to a company. Which is silly.

Right? This is Nintendo we're talking about.

As much as I agree with everything you said I still can't help but feel at least Mega man, street fighter, and monster hunter should go to nintendo. I get what you mean about nintendo mishandeling IPs like metroid, star fox , or F-Zero like if the made MML3 but the classic and X fanboys hated it and nintendo would hide him in their backlog for like 10 years but whenever I think of sony and microsoft I see something like that canceled megaman first person shooter and cringe or street fighter+ halo. A FPS megaman game could be good though its just the market is full of them now. I just think like how nintendo displayed him in smash they would pay respect to the creators or like Zelda U shake up some conventions. But that said I'd be cool with them being bought out by third party. Lets just all hope Activision and EA stay FAR AWAY from them.

Honestly I'd rather just have Capcom get their crap together for the most part and stay a neutral entity. Bring back Breath of Fire and Ghouls and Ghost. How about brining some of the older IP back as eshop/PSN/XBL titles. Megaman 9/10 and the konami rebirth series has done well.

All this talk about Mega Man. Where was this support, say, six years ago?

You don't want Mega Man. Gamers only want him now that he's absent.

6 years ago he was one of the only downloadable games anyone was talking about.

Try again (don't)

I bought the battle network and starforce games.

To be crank megaman is Worth more as a merchandise brand than an actual game character.

Yes, Mega Man 9 was such a successful game. Best game ever and ever.

But what about afterwards? I mean, Capcom is a company, and if something sells, it makes more of it to keep the momentum going. So, what happened? lol

Capcpom happened.

The Star Force series ended and they didn't try anything to replace it. They didn't follow up Megaman 10 either. They than called Megaman Universe as well as Legends 3.

Its ironic that the Megaman comic book is doing so well and unlike sega Capcom don't try to capitalize.

There was a reason. But let's pretend there wasn't and negatively talk about Capcom.

Following up on a game that didn't sell as great as was intended, is a terrible idea. It's common sense.

The following two games were cancelled due to the lack of demand.

The best outcome is that some company buys Capcom and let it do what it wants to do, but those chances are very slim. I'd like to see them getting through this on their own, but those chances are very slim as well. Nintendo has the money, and usually I'm not a huge supporter of Nintendo acquiring other companies, but if there's no choice, I'd rather see Nintendo buying Capcom, and let them just create their own games. Nintendo would even benefit from an extra Wii U/3DS exclusive here and there.
