Capcom Will Not Repeat Mercenaries 3D Save File Mistake

Good for you Capcom.

So Capcom reads what its fans say, and changes its entire game plan around pleasing them? Why do some companies think they shouldn't do the same?

yeah! now lets hope others follow, because I dont want to buy a used game with someone elses data. T was planing on getting Snake Eater 3D used, but I might have to get it new

Cool, i wouldn't be suprised if later copies were edited so you can delete data.

@2 Like Nintendo at Operation Rainfall....

I don't understand why they made it impossible to erase data in the first place. They did something they almost knew they would regret. Doesn't make sense at all.

Great, Capcom. Just make sure you keep your word.

@Nickno I think that's what he was getting it.

I can see this sort of thing not being a problem with certain games, but with a game like Mercenaries, where there are unlockables, there should really be the option to wipe the data. At the same time, if I were to buy a preowned game, I would certainly expect data to already be on it, so... I don't know.

Oh really? How odd, I thought it was a fantastic idea! (sarcasm)

Good on them for listening!

I'm pretty sure when the community you're catering to tells you its a bad idea, its a bad idea. After all, they're the ones you're trying to rob- I mean make happy.

Good....good

I'd say its nice to see a company listening to its consumers, but I'm still waiting for monster hunter 3ds : P

Next lesson to learn: Put Monster Hunter on the 3DS.

Release Ace Attorney Investigations 2 outside of Japan plz

@2 Simply the difference between "I promise I'll buy it" and the much more effective "I will never buy it".

Capcom is good a doing what the fans want.

and @ pixelman YES (and wii-U too.)

Hope they bring leon...

Take heed, NoA. Listen to your fans.

Thanks Capcom.
I knew they would come around sometime.

Maybe later on we can get an update for Mercenaries 3D and be able to delete our save data when we want too.
I guess they just didn't realize what a commotion it would cause for gamers.

Fine, can we now return to normal mode and play/buy this awesome game?

You know what that is good.

DLC would be great for this game, more characters or maps.

I'm willing to give Capcom the benefit of the doubt and chalk this up to poor planning on their part. I'm still not convinced they weren't testing the waters for a new retail strategy, but even if that's the case I think we've made our point.

<3! Good going, Capcom! I knew I could believe in you!

They weren't testing anything, they aren't the first doing this move, and there was no out cry with all those other games in ALL THE VIDEOGAME HISTORY so far that did the same.

Fine then, don't buy this game. When you finished OoT, RE:R and all other story games collecting dust, I will still have a game I can go back to. Cherio.

@pixelman Exactly!

good for them, I'm still interested in buying the game despite that. I don't buy many pre-owned portable games there already pretty cheap.

I think what Capcom really means is they will do it again but won't be so foolish as to specifically point out that fact during an interview.

Hopefully they keep to that. I'm willing to give Capcom the benefit of the doubt too. However, I'm not willing to take a US VP's word on this one. Ultimately, these decisions are going to be made in Japan for most games, and this guy is just going to be stuck marketing whatever he's given, unfortunately.

@ Traxx

Yeesh, sorry I'm not a professor in video game history. No need to go all caps on me. And don't worry, I've still got about 27 games on various other platforms to fall back on. The best part of all this is that I can resume looking forward to Revelations! Adios!

Me and Pix seem to agree on MH 3DS alot

Thank. Goodness. I love happy endings.

I'm glad they learned their lesson. At least this won't happen with Revelations.

Thank God.

It's nice to see the company listening to the fans. Nintendo needs to follow Capcom's strategy and listen to Operation Rainfall.

The Capcom Cycle:
Capcom does something stupid to screw over customers.
Customers revolt and complain.
Capcom apologizes profusely.
Time passes.
Capcom does something stupid to screw over customers.

HOW DARE THEY!!! I paid my money i want to be able to resell it and get some of my money back ! SHAMELESS!!!! Burn Capcom in the fiery pits of hell!!! Operation HELLFIRE! against the non deletable save games KILL THEM AAAALLLL!!!

how does not being able to delete the save game file which is on the cartridge screws over customers..??? seriously?!?!? how!

yeah you strong boys you taught them a lesson ... pfffffff pitiful...

@jerryo: Right because Capcom has never tried anything shady like this before. This is the same company that wouldn't let you play your PSN games unless you are online, they release version after version of the same game with minor upgrades and charge premium rates for trivial DLC that other companies either give out for free or at least charge reasonably. Excuse me for choosing to spend my money wisely.

Good job Capcom! Now please say whats happening with Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney ( like if it'll be localised)

They should've just stuck with it anyways. It's not like this is a story game. it's just a collection of levels that you can replay over and over again. heck I wouldn't mind if nintendo never allowed deleting of Super Smash. As long as you can replay through the story your fine.(which mercenaries has none) Same thing with Super Monkey Ball.

i trade most times but im not trading this game in short its the muts nuts★★★★★

Great news! Thank you, Capcom.

Ah, they learned their lesson! Hopefully other developers also stop with this ! A glorious day for gamers everywhere!!!

Great job Capcom! Now it's time to correct the mistake of not giving us MHF3!

Very good Capcom, you can sit down now.

Finally, Capcom listens to it's fans. It's a lesson they learned. That's a very good thing.

That's what I've always loved about Capcom besides them making awesome games. They listen to the fans. Mega Man Legends 3 is now being made, and thanks to them, we get games like Monster Hunter Tri and TvsC on the Wii. Now if only Nintendo would listen and localize all those games (starting back at Devil World for the NES, then Mother 1, and so on).

good

Good on them for listening, some other companies should take notice (coughNintendocough)...but how about taking it a step further and looking into releasing a patch, if possible?

Glad to see they learned their lesson.

See Nintendo? Even if you make a mistake, it's ok to own up to it and FIX it. Then gamers don't have to wage campaigns. It's pretty simple.

Capcom won't repeat this on 3DS since they will never again release another 3DS game after this silly hysteria and the consequently bombing sales of Mercs.
