Capcom's 'Super Elections' Reveals Fan Favourite Characters, Games And More

Looks like Dino Crisis fans are more outspoken than Mega Man fans...

I don’t really much care for the results in most of these categories, but at least people are in agreement that it’s about diddly-dang time we got another new Mega Man game. I don’t care which sub series it’s in, I’ll buy it. Just make it Capcom!…And Ace Attorney 7, please n’ thanks!

Dino Crisis is a meme at this point it’s like one of those zany movies people go absolutely nuts about so you think it has a huge audience but then go onto bomb or underperform like Snakes on a Plane but I’m sure people here can think of some more recent examples of this.

I am surprised by the favorite character answers. Happy to see some fighting games charted as well as onimusha. I need Capcom to stay in the zone for fighting games. SF 6 is fun but it has a long way to go and I would like a new VS game. Putting my SF arcade 1up cabinet together later, so hats off to you capcom . Based on the first game answers looks like a lot of the folks that answered are middle aged. (Very shocked that dino crisis is so high especially. )

At this point, Capcom can't ignore the fan outcry for Dino Crisis.

On that note, what's taking them so long to make a new Final Fight game? The Street Fighter series owes its success to Final Fight for inspiring it to make the most iconic sequel in gaming history. Could Capcom at the very respect it enough to remake the first Final Fight and add Street Fighter elements into it?

Man, I miss Breath of Fire. .

@SalvorHardin A more recent example could be the movie Morbius, the only film to my knowledge to ever flop twice (after the first time there were so many memes that sony put it back in cinemas for a week only for it to flop again).

The part of the vote that "Attractive Characters" wins in second place globally and first in Japan is proof that the industry only makes mistakes in not giving players what they want. 😂

And for me it was the highlight of the vote, but they don't report it.

A little disappointed in seeing no Viewtiful Joe, but hey, gotta take what you can get and hopefully these lists mean we get more Mega Man and Dino Crisis.

I voted for auto modellista an UN squadron

Why do I have a feeling that "VS Capcom" doesn't necessarily include the game I voted for? Even though it legitimately has Dino Crisis's Regina.😄

Leon most popular as expected for Resident Evil including his game. Dante and DmC V taking the crown overall.

Also yes Ace Attorney is overdue a new game this Gen.

@Cronodoug Thankfully, Capcom doesn't follow the social trends that Western games are going through by having lead characters designed to look extra mediocre and avoid the "male gaze".

I had to have been the only one who has voted for Dead Rising on that survey 😂. Anyways, I think it’s time to make new games for Ace Attorney, Dino Crisis, Mega Man, and Darkstalkers. They are long over due.

I voted for Ghost Trick - looks like it failed to break the surface! But Capcom, TBF, has a fantastic back catalogue. I had totally forgotten about UN Squadron - I loved that game.

Some more interesting results:

Demographics:
82% Male / 14% Female / 4% Other

What do you look for in Capcom Games?
1. Exhilarating Gameplay
2. Unique and Attractive Characters

So gamers are mostly men who prefer gameplay and “unique and attractive” characters over: Story, Soundtrack, Repeatability, Difficulty, Graphics etc.

Can we draw any conclusions form this? 🤔

Funnily enough Nintendo Life didn’t want to report on these things. 😅 Although the games themselves are more exciting I guess.

I hope they get the message and crack on with a dino crisis remake!

@ShonenJump121 Same.. A Breath of Fire 1, 2, 3 remake akin to the HD-2D of Square-Enix would be very nice.

@sanderev in another part of the vote, Breath of Fire 1, 2 & 3 was the third most requested remake.

And another part asked what fans wanted most, and the top result was “remake old IPs”.

So there is hope.

So happy to see Breath of Fire get some love. Hopefully Capcom takes this feedback seriously and reboots the series

Happy to see Okami and Amateratsu mentioned! But sad for Viewtiful Joe, the OG scrolling Bayonetta. He deserves at least a collection of ports.

As a Devil May Cry fan, I certainly did my part here!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Kienda Well, before you buy a game, you see characters on the box and on youtube thumbnails before you even know what game it is.

@teo_o I'd know I'd buy it if it means having more Platinum games in my collection. GodHand too while they're at it, since that's never getting an individual port release

Airu de Puzzle, anyone?

Oooooh an HD-2D remake of Breath of Fire I, II and III would be amazing, though I kinda wish they could find a way to tie the storylines together more. I always wished it was a continuation. But that ain't happening...

Bad outcome for both Spyborgs fans...

@Ruler-Of-All-Evil To be fair, it's been two decades since the last Dino Crisis game. Might as well throw those poor souls a fossil or two.

@Kienda Delete this! ;p

What nonsense is this about X being more popular than Zero?

I would love a megaman X amiibo to complete my favorite characters set. Never really got into original megaman games

@Cronodoug The option was called 'Unique and attractive characters' not just attractive. And the word attractive does not just relate to characters people find romantically attractive. Where I'm from at least attractive is used in all kinds of ways like 'That flower display is attractive'

When you view it like that yes people like good character design especially in the kind of games Capcom makes where characters are the central element like fighting games. It does not just relate to 'sexy' characters.

@sanderev rather have just breath of fire 3&4 remake..or remaster..

Anyone remember Little Nemo: The Dream Master?

I loved playing that game so much as a kid. Obviously the license doesn't belong to Capcom, but I would love to play that again; either a new game or a HD Remake.

Just give me any new Mega Man game that isn't a mobile game and I'll be happy. Don't care which series it is but my preference would obviously be Battle Network, Classic or X.

Capcom has amazing IPs but they have only focused on Resident Evil, Street Fighter and Monster Hunter in the last decade. I want to see them focus on some other franchises.

@Kienda I think most gamers being male is pretty basic knowledge .-. Higher percentages of female gamers in some studios is mostly due to including the mobile market.

I'm surprised by the Devil May Cry Love. I honestly didn't know the series and Dante were that well liked. Personally, I never really cared for the series but that dates back to 1 and 2. Never tried them again after those games.

Games that sell millions and a survey with a small fraction of that pool of players. Yeah, undoubtedbly significant.

I just want a new Darkstalkers, I've bought the games on Switch twice, PC twice, on an Arcade1Up cabinet, and on the PSP.

Surely Darkstalkers are not dead!

I voted for a remake of Ducktales 2, similar to Ducktales Remastered but in the style of the new animated series

Those Dino Crisis ballots were more stuffing than a (political party you disagree with) election.

I like that both Megaman and Breath of Fire got on the list

@dkxcalibur Dante started getting REALLY popular once DMC3 came around. In fact, DMC 3-5 really showcase why Dante is really well beloved as a character.

I'd love to see a new game of Ace Attorney. That or remastering the Edgeworth game along with localizing the second game for the Switch.

@N00BiSH I imagine Viewtiful Joe got at least a few of the "Other (not specified) - 87,706 votes".

@dkxcalibur I think about Little Nemo a lot actually. I think it's actually in the public domain now. There are actually two Kickstarter projects of others making games based on it.

I would say Capcom is the most historically important third party developer. In addition to all of these franchises, they have ALL those Disney games.

Turns out most gamers like awesome, attractive characters, not people that look like them, and not the slop the AAA industry has been serving. Shocking innit?

@russell-marlow Even Street Fighter 6's story practically felt like it belonged to a modern Final Fight game, especially the first half.

@Kienda Moreover, women had "unique and attractive characters" as their #1 reason, while men had it in 2nd place, after gameplay. If this isn't a SLAP to the face of annoying game journalists, I don't know what is.

I know I want a new Mega Man, be it X, the original series, or an original series. I'd love to see a Final Fight 4 but I doubt it'll ever happen.

Good to see Rival Schools on the remake list.

@Switch_Pro You can't take away too much from that when 'unique and attractive characters' is a very broad catagory. There are many forms of attractiveness and 'unique' is going to mean a lot of different things.

An 'Attractive' character could be litteraly any character design someone finds appealing in one way or another its not just limited to sexual attractiveness.

For me its all about variety I get bored of seeing the same thing. There is nothing wrong with a female character who is tall, slim with a large bust but when every female character looks like that it gets dull and tiresome.

To be fair to Capcom they have done quite well in that regard Street Fighter 6's cast is pretty varied in apperances.

Guess I really ought to play Dino Crisis and see what all the buzz is about.

@Druidsbrook Sure, but they certainly didn't mean anything like the new Fable's new lead, I reassure you.

I don't know why people are lying about Dino Crisis being popular. The original games were very successful (way more successful than Viewtiful Joe ever was let's be honest) and Capcom literally made a dinosaur game and then instead of a Dino Crisis made it a multiplayer game most people didn't want instead. Taking into account also that they've spent their time making Resident Evil games all the time and that Jurassic World has been massively successful 3 times despite being bad movies, its very easy for me to imagine a new DIno Crisis being successful and good. And I say this as someone who has zero attachment and barely any knowledge of the series, but it would be weird if Capcom had a successful Dino series in the past that was like Resident Evil, which they've made a lot of lately, made a new dinosaur game and then there was no interest in a new entry in that series.

I voted for Okami!! Great to see it charting on some of the most important questions of the survey. It was also interesting to see the results compared between Worldwide Vs Japanese votes, as well as generational and gender differences!

Was hoping to see Megaman Legends, Battle Network, or any of the Monster Hunter games get more recognition 😢

Most annoying part was Capcom glazing over that Other top result in the most wanted remake question. At least give us a few tidbits on what people answered within that big Other umbrella!

@kkslider5552000 I mean, dinosaurs are really having a moment right now, so that makes a lot of sense 🤷‍♂️ I'm in the same boat, never really played the franchise or knew much about it, so all this Dino Crisis hype feels overblown. However, as you say, in this current dinosaur-loving climate, if Capcom released a big beautiful dinosaur game then I'm sure it would sell well! Only problem is whether dinosaurs lose its trendy zest in the 4-6 years it takes Capcom to start development on a new game 😅

@Thomystic Obviously you could argue it's a tossup between Capcom and Square Enix for most important third-party developer historically speaking. From Final Fantasy to Dragon Quest, they played a significant role in turning video games into a mainstream cultural sensation in their home country.

btw I was one of those few people who voted breath of fire for every vote, you're welcome

@Ulysses I also voted for Okami! I've wanted a sequel ever since getting the Wii-make and showing it to all my friends because of how beautiful I thought it was 😆 well, still is! I think Ammy would make an excellent Smash fighter too, a man can dream 😅

I remember doing this survey. I don’t think I voted for anything DMC (I don’t mind it, but it’s not my favourite IP from them at all), but it seems like that might be one of Capcom’s most in demand tentpole franchises now. Wow good to know .

Capcom defintely needs to revive some of their more neglected IP's on Switch.. like a new:

• Okami
• Power Stone (or just a new 3D Arena Fighter in general)
• Rival Schools/Project Justice
• Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (... 2 lol... or even MvC 3... 2 lol, since it wasn't bad and added some good characters in its own right)
• Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom
• Street Fighter EX
• Asura’s Wrath
• P.N. 03
• Mega Man Legends
• Mega Man X Command Mission
• Viewtiful Joe

... these are some of the things I voted for and mentioned in their survey. Please oblige us Captain Commando com.

Glad that Darkstalkers is atleast in the top ten on question five.

We need new Mega Man games, Capcom! Give us what we want!

Never noticed it until now, but Megaman Legends artwork give strong Ghibli-esque vibes. I would LOVE for a Legends reboot to be a sweeping action adventure epic reminiscent of a Ghibli movie!

Ace attorney fans REPRESENT!👏

Interesting rules, good comments breaking down other aspects. I seek gameplay, characters that fit the gameplay with abilities. Couldn't care what they look like.

Some results made me surprised others speak to why I hate audiences and the state gaming is in. It was well translated/well presented the presentation is excellent and fun. But yeah the results are fair and other times not surprising at how some are so low and others so dead and great get pushed by too much hungry cycling of some IPs too much.

It says a lot when with music it's more about the people or hearing their voice and the background music kind of sucks sometimes. That or models/faces and human connection or cool characters or relatability matters. Eh to me if the characters fit that's fine but give me gameplay or situations to play. They can be a blank slate and I'll still play it if it has interesting ideas to play in.

The gameplay/characters one says a lot. I mean I couldn't care who is there. I don't care who voice acts and don't mind some and I find some memorable but that's about it I don't find people being marketable exciting it's why character focused box art doesn't attract me the world and things you do it in do but to communicate that to box art is hard. I don't know the characters till I play the game and even when I play other entries and know them or don't new characters I still don't care.

To me even labels of villain, protagonist, family member, student council president/childhood friend, teacher, whatever else. Or how they look. Couldn't care less to busy focusing on the gameplay and if the characters fit the gameplay character design wise why not. I've prefer animals/aliens over humans unless they have interesting powers, moves or tools to use in levels/environments and the environments aren't holiday destinations and are playgrounds.

Some of their older IPs in there is fair to see some I've never heard of.

Seeing Okami there says a lot when it's the HD version passed around and a series with Okami Den a game Capcom hasn't done anything with.

Seeing Onimusha there is also good to see. Not surprised by Darkstalkers. No Power Stone though hmm I assume not in the poll Capcom hmm.

Ace Attroney being there is cool to see how big it is compared to the other IPs. Very surprising.

RIP PN03, Under the Skin, Lost Planet, Auto Modellista and more IPs. Welp those will never get a remaster when Under the Skin the RE3 content and the party nature of it is worth a re-release at this point it would do well the disguises, references and craziness that can happen in that game and the cell shading is excellent it holds up very well for the PS2.

I want Indies to take note to Under the Skin but they won't. Popular inspiration gets boring the others deserve support and have great appeal not realised.

Godhand for sure needs more. I mean with how silly and how excellent the combat system is. I hate the camera like that but I mean if God of War 2018+, Hellblade and Ryse Son of Rome can do it then Godhand doesn't look out of place there just does in the aspects of the time I assume for most without the when it came out aspects that do still hold up. The villains are strange but maybe might need a change or still work I don't know enough about their context.

Yes some one offs but other dualologies/trilogies like Lost Planet or Viewtiful Joe not listed I assume they can't go with all IPs in their polls regardless of the results I assume and yes of course the results are to 10 so who knows where they fit.

@DoorToMundane True, true.
