Lesser of two evils which I think would be Sony. Plus, Japanese companies should buy other Japanese companies. I just don't see anything good happening if Microsoft were to take them over, honestly

None of the above. Sega Corporation would be my preferred choice.

we can all go home now.

I forgot my mind. Neither can. Japanese law prevents Microsoft from buying Capcom, and Sony can't afford Capcom. It's literally just Nintendo, or some random Japanese company. Capcom still costs way more than Intel, so don't expect Sega to swoop in.

Never MS because of what they did to Rare.

Doesn't make much sense for Sony to buy shares on Capcom either. I'd rather see a 3rd party publisher take over Capcom, so probably Sega.

What? 

Actually, this is a pretty easy solution.  Megaman seems like a Nintendo IP anyway, and always has.

Nintendo. They would bring back Mega Man. They don't kill RPGs like Sony does. MS killed Rare. Nintendo could hand RE to Rare.

Rare thread?! i knew it!

Sony because:

1: Rare;
2: i'm PS gamer;
3: Rare;
4: Sony gives more freedom to their devs;
5: Rare;
6: MS first party support is a joke;
7: Rare;
8: Banjo kazooei nuts and bolts;
9: Project sparks conkers;

Sony
