if anyone buys capcom it is going to be EA or SE or some other multiplat publisher.

I personally have not bought a Capcom game since RE4 iirc so it doesn't really concern me, but what I think would be the best for gamers overall, not only Nintendo fans which seem to be insanely egoistic, for an outside of gaming company to buy Capcom, like Sammy went for Sega, or someone like Gung-Ho, Tencent (or whoever has the money, I'm not really great with Japanese market knowlegde), so the current status quo is kept in place, as Capcom games are scattered all over platforms.

*pulls out wallet* 1.1 billion rupees? i'll bite.



wait, DOLLARS?

I feel like you said this just to wind up all the people asking for Nintendo to buy them :P

Why not? instead of dividing the teams to make games for every platform everyone could work on the same game for 1 = faster development process. Also Nintendo funds will help make the games better.

Also if the games are made for a single system they can be optimized and Nintendo workforce can assist in making the games and vice versa.



BTW all capcom characters in smash   would be awesome!

but you know it's true.  same reason that none of the big three bought atlas.  taking multiplat studios and making them make exclusives is a great way to loose a hell of a lot of money.  capcom is just worth more as a multiplat publisher. 

I don't want any of the big 3 to buy them; nor do I think it's a good idea for any of them (I've already had a lengthy conversation with Conegamer about this on my wall).

It was just your choice of EA.  Of all the third parties to buy them, the one who have no interest releasing games on Nintendo platforms would be the biggest slap in the face to this whole "BUY THEM NINTENDO!" movement.

I think the ideal scenario would be to buy one of their dev studios and a few IPs, but I don't really see Capcom being willing to be broken apart like that...

I think it's better idea  to buy Platinum Games + Mistwalker + From Software :P

By all means, if fans really want to show their hunger for Capcom, they should take it to social media.

It's just that no company has ever based an aquisition off of social media, or even really been influenced with social media. When you're looking at hundred of millions to even billions of dollars, you don't base decisions off of just a couple thousand fans on Twitter. You have to look at what you can do with the company, what IPs you will get, whether or not it's worth it putting the money into rebooting certain IPs, etc.
