artur-fernand said: It was never a big seller, no. But the main series (and the X series naturally) I can imagine are games with very low budgets and, with him being such an icon, there are more than enough people that will buy these games, making them profitable. You just don't kill your goddamn MASCOT, the guy is not even in MvC3, what the hell? |
Why would they be cheap to make? It's not like the games lack proper production values, as far as NES games are concerned they were all AAA games, same can be said for the X games, specially on SNES, also according to Chris Svensson Megaman 9 wasn't a cheap game to make, and that's a retro revival.
Seeing how Capcom stoppped making those games, it rather proofs that it isn't true.
Still however, maybe they thought that having a team develop essentially niche games with low return was a waste, that kind of resources could go into games that sell very well.
