The critical and commercial success of Monster Hunter World and the Resident Evil 2 remake has convinced Capcom that it is sitting on a potential goldmine of classic titles.
In its recent investor report, Capcom states that it plans to revive "dormant" franchises alongside creating new IPs. While this might not seem like a massive shock, the "indisputable successes" of its recent Monster Hunter and Resident Evil projects have clearly sent a message to Capcom's senior staff – and we can expect the company to be keener when it comes to mining its rich back catalogue of classics.
Which titles do you want to see? Dino Crisis? Final Fight? Zack & Wiki? Ghouls 'n Ghosts? Lost Planet? Dead Rising? Power Stone? Let us know which ones you'd like to see – who knows, we might even get some of them on Switch.

Power stone, power stone, power stone.
That is all
Zack and Wiki would be brilliant with HD Rumble and better detection. That is genuinely in my top 5 Wii games, only really beaten by Brawl and the Galaxy games.
@dethmart I like the cut of your jib sir!
Gotcha Force!
Gotcha Force!
Gotcha Force!
It's so dormant it's not even mentioned in the article or appear in the pic, someone gotta save that lovely fun franchise ;w;
Zack and wiki? Hell yeah!
New Gargoyle's Quest/Demon's Crest please!
DARKSTALKERS PLZ PLZ PLZ!!!!
Dear god please make another Okami game!
I want :
1. Pocket Fighter (with more characters and stages)
2. Cross X Beats (Rhythm game from Capcom created by former DDR sound director Naoki Maeda)
3. Disney Magical Tetris (from PS1)
4. Chip n Dale 1 & 2 HD remake (from NES)
Power Stone, Power Stone, Power Stone, hmmm and maybe more Power Stone.
Dark Void? Or at least Dark Void Zero 😉. I loved that little game on 3DS.
@dethmart oh wow I just copied you without seeing your post sorry lol
Lost Planet! I will always love Dead Rising but 4 shows they no longer know how to treat that franchise (that's right, I liked 3!).
My one request. MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2! NEW AGE OF HEROES!!!
Sorry, was trying to mimic the voice on the title screen.
Capcom: “AWAKEN MY MASTERS!”
Aztec dubstep drops
Perhaps Viewtiful Joe?
Zack and Wiki 2 sounds really good right about now.
1. Dino Crisis
2. Zack and Wiki
-End.
I'm totally down with a Zack & Wiki HD! I would be so happy. And what about a Viewtiful Joe HD?
Breath of Fire. Do it, do it, do it!
Really all I even need is a convenient way to play Breath of Fire 3 on a modern system like the Switch.
Power stone. Dino crisis
@Dayshader Looks like you might get your wish, according to Twitter, they want to do it!
modern day version of ghost & Goblins would be awesome
Breath of Fire and Haunting Ground please!
@Expa0 Really all I even need is a convenient way to play Breath of Fire 3 on a modern system like the Switch.
Like the Vita and the PS TV?
-Resident Evil
-Monster Hunter
Uhhhh, those are major franchises. Power Stone with all kinds of Capcom crossovers and Darkstalkers (maybe) are the only IP's I can see garnering the success that they want.
Turn Power Stone into Capcom's version of Smash Bros, use it to promote forgotten characters, print money, bring me joy.
Coming to a mobile device near you...
Gotcha Force!!!!
Or Saturday Night Slammasters.
I want it all. Shower me in the classic capcom franchises please.
Megaman Legends, Power Stone, and Dino Crisis would all be good choices. Third person shooter, with light rpg mechanics (possibly even some room for loot), a party multiplayer game, and RE, but with dinosaurs all feel like they could take root with a modern audience.
We need a new proper Demon's Crest Sequel Capcom, make it metroidvania style and take my money.
We need a new Darkstalkers game! I know this would probably never happen due to rights issues but I would also love if Capcom made a new JoJo fighting game in the style of Heritage, but with characters of all the parts.
Notice how they mention games that are not even on the Switch?MHW & RE2 remake. Capcoms intentions are clear when it comes to the Switch. Put out much older,overpriced crap ports,with no regard for quality of said ports and that'll do. In the meantime,put out all the good stuff and new releases on other systems.Nintendo websites will continue to give them coverage of future games that they still won't bring to the Switch. Their current intentions don't suggest any changes coming in that regard. Unless they're trying find a way of porting MHW to the Switch,don't expect a new MH at all for the system
I want my Dragons Dogma 2, damnit!
@Crono1973
Vita or PSTV are not exactly my idea of convenient.
just make a dino crisis remake.
All who said Zack and wiki & Dino Crisis have a like from me. First 2 games that came to mind. Then onimusha and Viewtiful Joe!
Does nobody else want Strider or Bionic Commando to come back? How about Darkstalkers or Breath of Fire? >.>
Heck, I still want a Mega Man Battle Network collection and the Disney Afternoon Collection. Not to mention DuckTales Remastered. Work out those license details, Capcom!
Most of all I request physical releases without DL supplements
One word .
Okami.
Which also just got a recent strong tease on twitter recently.
Capcom vs SNK for the love of god. I need to retire my Dreamcast, and that game is the only one preventing it.
Forgotten Worlds
Bring on Captain Commando 2, and Unnamed Luxury Cars and Prehistoric Reptiles!!
Pocket Fighter
Darkstalkers
The Final Fight trilogy.
I'd be happy with those.
You know, if they want to work with Indie developers. A new Darkstalker game made by the Skullgirls team would be a dream come true. I dont really see Darkstalkers in 3D unless they oversimplify the goofy but charming style the series is in and turn into a realistic and boring mess like they kinda did with their other games.
Other games:
Breath of Fire
Power Stone
Mega Man Legends & BN/SF RPG game
Rival Schools
Strider
GHOULS AND GHOSTS, POWERSTONE. PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE!!
I’d vote for Power Stone, Final Fight, and a forgotten Dreamcast gem Cannon Spike
But Dead Rising would work so well on the switch IMO...
Did anyone say Power Stone? If not, I say Power Stone.
Oh...someone said Power Stone. Well fine. How about POWER STONE?!
Remakes of Okamiden and Zelda: Minish Cap please.
@HatosBlack POWERSTONE!!!! I ACTUALLY READ SOMEWHERE, MAYBE HERE EVEN. THAT WE MIGHT ATLEAST GET A REMASTERED POWERSTONE. THE CAPS LOCK IS INTENTIONAL LOL
Okami is pretty much a given due to next article lol
and it will skip the Switch of course
Rival Schools, Power Stone, and Strider.
Lost Planet and Strider
Power stone, bionic commando (2d), new 2d ghouls and ghosts and the old Disney games on switch would be cool
I’ve never played a powerstone but something tells me I need to. I’d like to see viewtiful joe, Okami, final fight, dead rising, and lost planet for sure.
Powerstone
Dead rising
Final fight
Dino crisis
All could be good remakes, reboots, remasters or ports
Edit-Rival schools too!
@Xylnox YES
Joe! Joe! Viewtiful Joe!
Bounty Hunter Sara, in English this time.
Mega man legends 3!
@Expa0 Vita or PSTV are not exactly my idea of convenient.
Why not? You can play portable and on the TV. Saves can be transferred back and forth.
The megaman legends series has sadly been long neglected. Please finish the Megaman legends 3 game that was going to come to the 3ds before it got cancelled. Also could make new megaman x games (ala megaman x4 & x5), megaman 11 was great and I know there is talk of a 12.
Powerstone, MVC1/2 pack maybe? Megaman, and Strider please
Mega Man X please. Also Demons Crest, Ghosts n Goblins, Final Fight, Breath of Fire, and 194X. Please?
Power Stone, Rival Schools, Demon's Crest, Breath of Fire, and Zack and Wiki. C'mon Capcom bring them all back.
Spyborgs for me.
Dino Crisis, Power Stone and Zack and Wiki
Lol at those mentioning Zack & Wiki and Power Stone haha.
We all know what we want but at £30 a pop would you pay?
We certainly arn't paying £30 at the moment for resident evil games!
Let's gave new product based on legacy IPs capcom!
Captain Commando would do the trick
Dead Rising had an entry recently. It was terrible.
A new D&D game would be ace, but it's not their IP.
Maximo please. Still feel gutted about the cancellation of part 3.
Okami 2 X Platinum Games
Megaman Legends 3
Megaman Battle Network reboot (IMO Star Force is inferior)
Megaman Battle Network MMO with cross-play
Power Stone, Zack and Wiki, and Gotcha Force, please!!!!
It never became a franchise (I guess the original did poorly), but in my perfect world, the old 1990 NES game Code Name: Viper would get a sequel. Done right, I think it’d have the potential to be Capcom’s answer to Metal Gear Solid, but from the angle of fighting drug cartels.
I know it’ll never happen. Simply one of my gaming pipe dreams!
Please make a new Armored Warriors/Cyberbots.
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs!
Punisher!
And yes, I would love another Zach and Wiki 😊
Bad thing is that Resident Evil 7 and Monster Hunter World recent success was on PS4 mainly. They cant even port these games to Switch. I just hope they can't no lonerg ignore Nintendo. Miss the good old days when we had RE4 and Revelations exclusives on Gamecube and 3ds
What does "Awaken" mean? Port more old games or new games of old franchises?
SEGA and Konami: "Awaken dead franchises? What a concept!"
For Switch, I'd love to see Dino Crisis 1 and 2. The original Resident Evil 2, and Code Veronica would be nice too. I'd love to see the original playstation resident evil re-released too. That game is insanely expensive to obtain.
@nab1 coughRedreamcough pc...
Power Stone, a new Breath of Fire, and some Mega Man X titles would really make my day. Wouldn't mind seeing a new Lost Planet either, so long as it's not that terrible-looking western-ass Lost Planet 3. I by no means hate western devs, but going from a weird, unique HIGHLY Japanese shooter to a bland, by-the-numbers western action game was not my favorite choice of Capcom's.
Other than that, sequels to anything Clover made would just make my day.
PC/PS4 owners - convincing one 3rd party publisher at a time with the wallet 😎😉
1. Breath of Fire (BR4 type art style would look great on Switch)
2. Lost Planet
3. PN 03 😃
Ghosts and Goblins? That would be awesome.
Disney Afternoon Collection for Switch.
Zack & Wiki 2 would be my most wanted game but alas, it's extremely unlikely sadly.
Ghouls & Ghosts 5 and Maximo 3 but less cartoony pls.
Just give me the SNES Disney games, Capcom!
Zack & Wiki of course! It would be great fit for Switch!
Now if only Sega would get the memo and follow suit. Granted they finally made a proper Valkyria Chronicles sequel last year and Phantasy Star Online 2 is finally coming (at some point I guess? They've been really silent since the E3 announcement), and there's even a Panzer Dragoon remake on the horizon (albeit being handled by another publisher). But they have a literal MOUNTAIN of beloved IPs they've been just sitting on for decades now.
tron bonne
thats all
I would love for a Final Fight Revival, especially since Sega is finally making Streets of Rage 4. I would also like to see more Okami, Powerstone, Viewtiful Joe, and Breath of Fire. I think Breath of Fire could work since Capcom doesn't really have a flagship traditional rpg series.
@Tedikuma Been saying this for years lol
Mega Man stuff!
Franchises I would like to see return:
5) Project X Zone (If this doesn’t count cause it’s not pure capcom, switch for Final Fight)
4) Viewtiful Joe
3) Mega Man: Battle Network
2) Power Stone
1) Little Nemo the Dream Master (seriously, it’s public domain, Capcom can do it if they want).
Midnight Wanderers. Knights of the Round. Final Fight. Ghouls and Ghosts
Capcom VS SNK3!!!!
There's sooo many classic Capcom properties that could be amazing if PROPERLY revisited and done TRUE JUSTICE in modern times, but I expect 99% of the ones that actually matter will just be ignored in order for the same few to be redone again and again.
Cool, I do love me some Capcom!
But I was always more of a Konami guy. Now imagine a new Goemon game. Or Getsu Fuuma Den. Or Parodius. Or TwinBee. Or even something like a Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa sequel would be cool.
Black Tiger, Magic Sword, King of Dragons, Knights of the Round, Demons Crest and Ghouls n Ghosts.
Gun.smoke..... a fun run and gun game. One like the NES one.
Just put all your resources into making a proper Marvel vs. Capcom to make up for that abomination you released a couple years ago.
Capcom has a ton of great IP, I'm afraid they don't do much with them (as opposed to, well, basically Monster Hunter as that is the money cow). Hoping they'll not just re-release classics, but bring new entries in old beloved series (Mega Man [X, Battle Network, Starforce, Legends], Phoenix Wright, Bionic Commando, U.N. Squadron, etc)
Just give me Breath of Fire III and IV on the Switch.
They've been threatening this for years. "Reviving" Monster Hunter and Resident Evil isnt exactly a resuscitation. They were never dead or "sunset" as they say in the biz. They are active IPs.
Capcom, stop teasing and put up or shut up. If you want to revive classics, start with Final Fight, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Aliens vs. Predator, Ghouls & Ghosts, Strider, Bionic Commando. Some of these have been recently revived, sure. But put your classic designers behind them. Do them justice (the remakes have been far from) and do them the right way.
Dino Crisis (ignoring the travesty of DC3), Breath of Fire, and for goodness sake Mega Man X series!
They need to continue Dino Crisis where 2 left off. Maybe in an RE 2 remake style. This would make me a happy gamer indeed.
@HatosBlack @dethmart @rdm22 I totally agree, though you all seem to have forgotten POWER STONE POWER STONE POWER STONE POWER STONE POWER STONE POWER STONE POWER STONE POWER STONE POWER STONE POWER STONE POWER STONE POWER STONE. It's a pretty common mistake.
HENSHIN A GO-GO BABY!
I'm not even sure I understand Capcom's point here. I mean, great if they want to resurrect old IPs. But what does that have to do with Resident Evil or Monster Hunter? These have been two relatively ongoing franchises. So why would their success have any bearing on Capcom reviving other IPs?
If I had to pick one, a new Capcom VS game would be nice or a new Dino Crisis
Just Power Stone for me and more Mega Man.
Dino Crisis please
Dino Crisis would be great.
Maybe Yuke's is working on the Saturday Night Slam Masters return after leaving the WWE? AEW X Capcom would be cool since they kept dressing up like SF Fighters
I'll believe it when I see it. Over the past several years, Capcom has been the very example of a video game developer that only milks its very best-selling franchises.
@Wool_Sheep yep, Haunting Ground. Clock Tower style with a wolf like Okami like companion haha
doesn't need to be another bn or starforce but something with similar gameplay
maybe a dead rising but i've never played a game of that style
Capcom can go spit.
Just look at their level of support on the 3DS... Multiple exclusive games made for the 3DS...
Nearly 3 years into the Switch's life and Capcom's best Switch game is a 4 year old 3DS port.
Capcom can genuinely take their games and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.
Also this latest statement by them is just another way to say:
"We only intend to release old ports of our old games for the Switch".
No new games made for the Switch...
Like almost every game Capcom made for the 3ds was developed for the 3ds exclusively...
The level of support from then to now has dropped so low that it's genuinely hard to accept something didn't happen behind the scenes there.
New Breath of Fire would be lovely. Already enjoying the first one on the Switch.
For me there are WAAAAY too many titles to go into, I'll just say to Capcom: whatever you bring to us, PLEASE DO NOT OUTSOURCE these titles to other developers/publishers!
