Nearly 1000 votes for yes, 77% of all the votes...jesus people, you can't be serious.


well ehh opinion but i more hoping that if it comes down to this you split the ips to microsoft sony and nintendo

sony: resident evil,street fighter, devil may cry

nintendo: ace,monster hunter,okami,megaman, viewtiful joe

microsoft: dead rising, ghouls and goblins

how i would distribute them

Sony could still get Viewtiful Joe as well as a Ghosts N'Ghoblins IP. That's something that can be shared between Ninty and Microsoft. Nintendo could definitely do Mega Man though. Can't forget about the Blue Bomber!

Im just going with how well they would sell since stret fighter devil may cry and resident evil do great on playsation

ace monster hunter megaman okami do great on nintendo

and of course dead rising does well on xbox(but give them an extra ip why not)

I dig that. I do wonder though. Has there been any word on how this shareholder situation for Capcom has been going? I'm eager to find out who will step in. I was realistically think somebody like Atlus or Sega. I don't know if the big 3 would step in like some would think.

Woops....forgot about that. Well Sega can. To be honest, I just want Sega to enter the console race again. I think they would be able to compete.

Monster hunter and resident Evil???

hell yes! Buy before Microsoft does....


Actually, that's not a too far-fetched of an idea. Microsoft has the capital and enough interest in the Japanese market to acquire a company like Capcom. An acquisition like that would surely open the doors of Nippon to Microsoft. And considering that they already have an exclusive deal on Dead Rising...

I really think MS will be first on that. That's a perfect match, better sales on japanese market, differenciation, a lot of exclusive games with just one deal. Also they have an excellent relationship with Capcom.

But imho, Nintendo would be a lot better choice for Capcom. Less complex hardware, handled market, better access to the japanese market that could allow them to produce more and better games rather than compete for a few AAA on the latest hardware. And more than anything else Nintendo's quality control and IP management. Capcom has to stop killing their own licenses. I love them, but wtf are they doing to make something like RE6 or Lost Planet 3 ?!

That is a great point you made there. One of Nintendo's advantages to game development (at least in a financial perspective) is that their hardware is not as complex as the competetion's and requires a lot less investment to develop for. This is very beneficial to a company with investment constrains such as Capcom at the moment as it reduces costs and maximizes profitability. Heck, Monster Hunter has being doing this for years with the Wii, PSP and 3DS; and it prints money.

i.e. A Resident Evil on Wii U with 2 million units sold (= RE4 on Wii) would be a lot more profitable than a RE8 at 6 million on PS4/XONE.

Nevertheless, whoever ends up acquiring Capcom (if any) will surely handle its IPs a lot better than Capcom itself.

It is not just an opinion, pretty much the whole video game press and many JRPG Let's players agree with that. Xenoblade cannot be compared with the mediocre Xenosaga in terms of quality, music, art style or story design, it has gone through Nintendo quality assurance and is by far the best JRPG of the last two generations. It is really that good and far better than any PS2 JRPG. The first minute you start playing it you will realize that.


So using that logic guess that means final fantasy vii is the best RPG ever made, Amirite. 


Only until recently, now it's the most overrated JRPG of all time.

Again, that is your opinion :)


I don't think it's overrated. Lol.

That is an opinion - not a fact.

The definition for fact must have changed from something that is irrefutably true. 


It has. A fact by definition is an opinion commonly agreed upon. Thee Earth is flat was considered fact, and has never been considered an opinion. Thee Earth is round is considered a fact and not an opinion. Just an example.

 

On topic, yes Nintendo should buy Capcom. I thi k it would be wise for any company to purchase Capcom. They are a great developer and their talent would be appreciated anywhere.

You win this round.........

And yes, Nintendo should buy Capcom. I've been tweeting #NintendobuyCapcom and (on Capcom's twitter page) #chooseNintendo.

I sincerely doubt they would have. Rare's comparably scoring Star-Fox game, a proven and beloved core franchise, under-preformed. If Grabbed by the Ghoulies had been on Gamecube it seems absurd to think it would have done any better, and after that most their reputation would have been in tatters. Also the increased sales on Xbox games you pointed to just puts them more in-line with Star-Fox Adventures.

No, its absurd to think think Rare's style of games wouldn't appeal to the Nintendo audience more. What next? You're gonna try to lead me to believe Sonic and Lego games wouldn't appeal to Nintendo fans more?

This discussion is over, no point in dragging it on.
