Mega Man - Nintendo
Resident Evil - Konami
Street Fighter - Namco
Monster Hunter - Nintendo, more specifically Monolith Soft
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney - Nintendo
Breath of Fire - Nintendo, Intelligent Systems
Dead Rising - Valve
Devil May Cry - Sony, undecided which studio yet
Lost Planet - LET IT DIE!
Okami - Nintendo
Viewtiful Joe - Platinum Games
Marvel vs Capcom - Netherealm Studios

 

If there are any that I forgot let me know.


I agree with everything besides DMC, why not Platinum???

First, on topic, as long as fighting games go to Namco, all is well. They have some great franchises they should bring back regardless, I think the fighting game genre is one severely lacking in the West.

They could make a ton of money just offering exclusivity to Microsoft or Sony. Clearly that's why Dead Rising 3 is a X1 exclusive.

This makes me wonder, there are many games that Capcom or others produce that, while potentially good games, don't sell as many as they could. Remember Me being a good example, made by a new smallish studio and Published by Capcom yet has only sold 200 thousand copies. It's the kind of game that if a bit of money hatting was involved (and a bit more development) you could have had a X1 or PS4 launch title which would have silly amount of hype for no reason, sell lots and could have spawned sequals, making more money for Capcom and the development team.

Not a great idea because fans would have little faith in exclusive releases being good. For example, many of Sony's 1st party exclusives flopped for being average or medicore. Being an exclusive doesn't guarantee great sales.

In my opinion, Enslaved was a great game. If Sony locked that as a 1st party exclusive, I think it would have sold much better than it did.

Nintendo has become the natural home for Mega Man, Ace Attorney and Monster Hunter. Would be great if they got Resident Evil also. Don't know about the rest.

Also Konami, really. They are a pathetic shell at this point

"Fans would have little faith in exclusive releases being good."? I'll quote you on that. Pretty sure fans are obsessive with 1st party games and mostly claim they are awesome even before being out. But you say that and then mention my point straight after, while I don't mean 1st party as in a specific company published or developed, I mean a 3rd Party exclusive.

Lets look at Dead Rising 3 and Titanfall, both 3rd Party exclusive games for the X1 (or MS machines for the latter) and with that comes not only Capcom advertising their wares, MS will mention it at conferences, fans of that console will no doubt buy it (early on especially as there is nothing else to play). Then for Titanfall (an EA game) you have MS sending out emails saying 'ONLY NEXT GEN CONSOLE TO HAVE TITANFALL' and all that jazz.

Of course for Dead Rising 3 it less of a good case as it's not an unknown title that needs decent sales, it would have sold over a million anyway and MS money hatting just kept it on their console. While new titles, like Enslave, like Remember Me and like Titanfall get the extra boost of advertising and 'hype' they need to at least allow the development team to succeed and stay in business to produce more titles, not nessecarily exclusive, in the future.

 



Hmm, pie.

I find it quite funny that Kamiya had it's hand one way or another in nearly half of Capcoms more popular franchises.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

and that what they have been doing. they been whoring out their franchises left and right. Dead rising on xbox one. Deep Down on PS4 and Monster hunter on 3DS. you never know, they might whore out even more games in the future.
