This is pretty bad. I have a bad feeling that i wont be playing any new 2D fighting games from capcom anymore. I didnt really mind RE being exclusive, but i cant imagine playing a fighting game on THAT controller! By my count, thats 2 major company buy outs right?

NO! I sincerely hope this is just a case of crappy news site trying to sensationalize some small misinterpreted situation. I like Capcom third party damnit. This would be horrible for 2D fans.

EDIT: Just say your last post about fanboys. Nintendo fanboys do tend to be the most loyal and fanatical. I found it amusing when they were all aquiver that "Square was leaving Sony and all future development was going to be on Gamecube!!!" Not that I don't have my own stupid loyalties (I don't love any companies; I'm just too cheap to buy multiple systems for one game on each console) but they tend to misread the facts at times.

Doesn't seem likely to me… I thought I remembered Capcom saying awhile back that they wanted there to be more than one company in the console hardware business in order to prevent another monopoly from developing. In any case, the person who wrote that article seems to have just seen the announcement from Capcom Production Studio 4 about the 5 upcoming GameCube exclusives, and is assuming that it is proof that Nintendo is going to buy Capcom.

If you want to say Microsoft buying Rare was huge, it wasn't. Rare is a dev team, not a complete company. They need a publisher in order to release stuff so they took what Microsoft offered them. Capcom isn't in a position to be bought, and neither is Sega. And Nintendo certainly isn't in a position to buy them.

Viewtiful Joe is pretty 2D there... I'm sure they'll make more 2D games... but with that said I'd love to see a Shinobi/DMC-like Strider.

Anyway the GBA isn't that bad for 2D games, Mega Man Zero is pretty badass and a totally original game (I mean it's not a port).

One thing is this rumor coming from a respectable source and another thing is this rumor coming from the all singing, all dancing crap of the world wide web (spong, atomix, etc.) Like I said, just a site starving for attention and hits.

Besides, Square wasnt bought out, its more like they did the fusion dance.

P.S: Capcoms 2d fighters on the GBA sold very decent- you WILL see more 2d fighters at least on the GBA- tough crawefish is dead (what a shame- the could have used the SFA3U engine for any other capcom fighter).

I don't think so. The Nintendo-Sega-Namco force - nothing! What will make me think Nintendo will buy Capcom? Has Nintendo become this desperate?

Adding on, "Let's play fighting games on the system!" I don't think so! The controller was never a fighters controller. I can only picture Justice Gakuen III on the PS2. That's it.

*Sighs*

This is why I don't bother with Nintendo anymore. They keep finding ways to get better and those methods don't work. That's what I think. At least I still have my Super Mario Bros. III.

2D games on the GBA dont count in my book. Its not like it can do anything else right? Besides I would rather play Street fighter 4 with graphics and animation as good as if not exceding that of SF3 instead of another version of SF2 on GBA.

Why is the GameCube controler proving to be such a sticking point for people? Yeah, it obviously was not designed with fighting games in mind, but this isn't anything new. I mean come on, since when did the Dual Shock become God's gift to fighting games? And how about the Dreamcast pad, anyone remeber what learning to play a fighter on that was like?

And hey, assuming this is true, at the very, very most it will mean that some of you will have to spend $20 or so getting an adapter that lets you use a different controler. Yeah it's $20 that could be spent on something else, but it could be worse. You could always end up buying a HDD just to spead up load times.

I love the PS1 controller for fighters, I have small hands so I have a perfect grip and the buttons are easy to access. Maybe their not good for supers in being able to press 3 buttons at one time, but thats what the cheatin' L2 and R2 is for ^_^ Besides, arcade sticks usually wear my wrists out, probably signs of carpal tunnel syndrome from years of gaming and computing heh.

Hey, look at what Capcom did with the Zelda Oracle titles... I haven't played 'em, but given the rave reviews I've heard and read, I imagine it wouldn't be half bad. I haven't played any of the Pokemon titles either, though (the only monster breeding type game I've played is Tecmo's Monster Rancher 2 for the PSX ^_^) -- but if Capcom (supposedly) made a great contribution to the Zelda franchise, I could imagine them doing it with the Pokemon franchise too.

And, Capcom already has Metal Walker under its sleeve.
