Capcom is a strange company. But I like them.

They've released a load of great Wii titles, from Resi to Monster Hunter to Okami to Spyborgs, and many more. 

The Wii has been a good console for Capcom, and I'd be surprised if there's no more Wii games in the pipeline 


You'd be surprised? How so?

I only see ports, spin-offs and low budget games among those you listed. Save for MH.

Really, the only big budget game Capcom gave Wii owners was MHTri.

And that was the last game they gave Wii owners, and look how much money it gave them.

Capcom, Ubisoft and Sega are the only companies who have really tried on the Wii, and, it's payed dividened for them. 

Disney and Activision are in the middle with a few hits.

EA, Bethesda, Epic etc.just haven't tried, and you don't get anything for nothing...

 

At any rate, it terms of units sold, Capcom have made the most from the Wii (actually, just behind Sega), and with the games coming out ATM, I'd be surprised if they didn't have more to show us.

No it wasn't their last Wii game. That one was Sengoku Basara 3.

Capcom never tried on the Wii, save for MH. Show me proof of the contrary.

Which games coming out ATM? I don't understand.

It speaks a lot about Capcom that one of their representatives is a lier and a biased person. Plus fans don't forget things that easily.

After all that effort to localise it too...

He never listed that game...

Plus I knew someone would come up with TvsC. The fact is that it wasn't a big budget game. It's a good game, but it had a lot of things removed from the original Japanese release. Plus the engine is ready for more fighting games, yet they just probably had to localize this in order for investors not to complain about Wii support, that's why we never saw another fighting game, not even a port of MvsC 2, or 3 or any other game for that matter. They even released fighting sticks for the Wii and promised that we would get good use out of them...

And I don't think it was that hard for them to localize a FIGHTING game. Yes, I know about the legal issues with the franchises, but it was a legal effort, not a programming effort. It's not a big deal.

Nothing new, Capcom been doing this to Nintendo since 1996, just goes to show what kind of people are running Capcom when they can't find any games to sell to 86million Wii users.



 

Capcom has been pretty good to the Wii. Either way if they don't support the Wii much they are focusing two RE titles for the 3DS along with the already release Street Fighter IV. I'm sure they will also throw more titles the 3DS way as long as games continue to sell on there.

Zack and Wiki, Tats Vs Capcom, Two RE Lightgun games, Spyborgs, Dead Rising: Chop Till you Drop, Zack and Wiki, We Love Golf! and of course those RE ports with Wii controls (the only one I bought was RE4).

Have they been more HD focused? Sure,  but look how much those HD games sold - Street Fighter IV (now in three posible releases), MVC3, RE5 (sold boat loads!), Lost Planet (at least the first one) . Bionic Commando and Dark Void didn't exactly sell well but I'm sure the other games more then make up for the lost sales.

I'm guessing we'll see announcements at E3 for the Wii2 or more support for the original Wii if a Wii2 isn't announced.



It's just that simple.

While it's true that the game was fairly cheap to produce, the fact is localization was more than just lawyers and taking out content.  For the characters they took out they added new ones in, plus a couple of extra unlockable characters, and balanced the game out more.

They added so much they also released the new version in Japan.

Basically TvC was a really good effort, it was a really good fighting game, and it took a lot of hassle on the development side as well as the legal side. 

Why were there not more efforts like TvC, MHTri, and the RE rail shooters?  I'm not certain as none of them did poorly, much better than some of their more expensive ventures, but Capcom has put out some really good titles on Wii no doubt, other than Street Fighter IV I can't tell you a compelling game they've put on other platforms this gen.

Capcom might be lying to themselves that they didn't sell well, just so they can justify not making more for the system. SF IV isn't really tearing up the charts on the 3DS (not claiming it's flopping, just not selling that well, as fighting games aren't really big sellers on handhelds; it really would have sold better on the Wii, especially with TvC and the VC SF games making a base), but Capcom will likely support ithe 3DS anyway, more because they like the tech than any audience there.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Actually the opening for SSFIV 3D is as big as the opening for SSFIV on 360 and the console versions were released at cheaper prices than standard and has been out so long that it has now dropped below the price of the 3DS version... yet still it sells decently  

Basically I feel SSFIV 3D will do a million simply because launch games get a decent bit of attention and SSFIV right off the bat is a good starter, more people that have yet to pick up a 3DS will still be interested in SSFIV on the go, if it sells beyond that I think Capcom would be very happy (not that reaching a million wouldn't make them estatic to begin with)
