Remember the Resident Evil remake on GameCube? I always wanted a RE2 in the same vein. Just imagine how good it could look with pre rendered back drops on something as powerful as a PS4. Be a way to gauge interest in taking series back to its roots (although may offer multiple control schemes).

On Mega Man I thought 9 and 10 did well, so maybe do 11 in glorious HD 2D on consoles, should not be as much of an investment.

I think the pieces are there from nostalgia, but not sure where there head is at.

Then why would they make a public statement like that? But again, it doesn't matter, the argument is whether it CAN make money, and it has been shown to be able to do that. Capcom is retarded if they think it's garbage, and that's why they can't maintain relevancy. Instead of going back to what they do well, they try to copy others or do what they think is popular at the time, such as turning Resident Evil into an action game/shooter.

The early Mega Man X games were awesome, and shame on you for implying otherwise.

This is the biggy. Capcom never had super-blockbusters outside of Street Fighter, Resident Evil, and DMC in its heyday. They and a lot of other Japanese publishers are really suffering more from the apparent death of mid-tier games, but i still fail to see why mid-tier games need to die other than specious "industry wisdom."

Nintendo, please just buy Capcom! I used to play quite a few Capcom games back in the day, but not any more. And they keep canceling Mega Man over and over again!

Seriously, they should have rebooted Ghost'n'Gobilns as a Dark Souls-esque game, that's hard as fuck (just like the original) but more fast paced.

I think Capcom should go back to their 90s glory and start producing some fighting titles. Online and local MP being as popular as ever and with the internet and online communication, things like fighters could get big again as people discuss them more, show tournaments online, things like that.

I would welcome a return of Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, a new Marvel Super Heroes (cashing in on the movie trend), God Hand even. Stuff like that.

Their re-releases were supposed to be indicators to Capcom execs whether they should fund new games.  No one bought the darkstalkers ports, nor did they buy the Marvel vs Capcom origins port, therefore there's no money to be made on new fighters.  Though, Marvel license is more finicky.

They could save themselves, but at this point they're doing worse than Nintendo did to realize they need to change.

Re-releases are the issue, no one wants them. They want new games. Fans of the series already have Darkstalkers, just because Capcom made it HD and charged you another $20 doesn't mean people want to buy it. Marvel vs Capcom 3 sold more than 2. 2 Sold well one digital re-release as well (I think). But you mentioned ports. Again, this isn't what people want. They want good new fighters.

Execs shouldn't be looking at the sales of Darkstalkers re-release as an example, they should look at JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (which sold well in Japan and is due for release the rest of the world soon) or Blazblue (which has had good stable sales, enough to produce sequals), which are new games getting full releases.

Well, let's see what they have in development :

- Ace Attorney 6, which must be somewhere on a drawing board
- Deep Down, which everyone has forgotten about already
- USF4, which is like the 4th version of SF4
- Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, which they're trying to sell only to people already having MH4
- Monster Hunter Frontier G Vita, a game that already bring heavy losses on PC

Capcom will barely stay alive with this, let alone relevant...
