Hmmmmm... this is interesting. I'm trying to think of which games could be cut and they could approach this a lot of different ways. Could cheap games like the WonderSwan and GP32 games be the first to get cut, ridding Capcom of its smaller losses, or are they going to cut into their middle-of-the-road main console titles like Viewtiful Joe, Killer 7, etc.? And since Resident Evil Zero is mentioned as a major loss, despite it being one of their most hyped GameCube titles, could they be cutting into the bigger budget GameCube titles like Resident Evil 4? Or just abandoning the GameCube or the majority of their commitments to the GameCube because they aren't as lucrative as PS2 or GBA titles?
Oh, well. Hopefully once the wheat is separated from the chaff we'll start seeing games that are of a higher quality. Resident Evil Zero and Devil May Cry 2 probably didn't meet their financial expectations because they didn't meet their reviewers' expectations. Then again, knowing Capcom, it'll probably just mean that Japan will be seeing Rockman Zero 3 and Rockman.EXE 4 within the next three months. When in doubt, pimp the popular franchise.

Looking forward to the future, Capcom has re-evaluated its entire slate of future projects, cancelling 18 of approximately 100 games in development. 10 of the 80-some remaining games are for Game Boy Advance, and the plan is to announce the console breakdown of the remaining games when Capcom releases its official annual report later in the year.
"cancelling eighteen of... 100... 10 of the 80-some remaining games are for Game Boy Advance..."
Granted, I'm kinda tired, but I believe that that implies that there are ten GBA games that are specifically not getting cut. I think we can assume that at least three or four of these are Megaman games. Megaman Zero 2 has yet to be released, I'm pretty sure that the third version of Rockman.EXE 3 hasn't been released in Japan yet, and the next Rockman.EXE sequel should consist of at least two (probably three) games.

Assuming that we don't know about 100 upcoming games, chances are that the cancelled ones are games that we haven't heard about, in early development stages.
I wonder, though, how many games Capcom has already announced for the future. I certainly can't think of one hundred games, but I can think of a whole lot of them across the GameCube, PS2, Xbox, GBA, GP32, and WonderSwan. I guess it also depends on whether they decided to cut the cheaper games that aren't really worth a lot of hype or the ones with huge budgets that are worth releasing teaser trailers for a year in advance.
