/me has a fucking heart attack.

Damn, now there'll never be a MvC3. No CvS3, either. SNKP better get their act the hell together, although KoF2003 was a nice start.

Also, I blame EA and their damn Marvel crossover, if only so that it's a scapegoat.

They can still make those games... they'll just be for consoles or only come out in Japanese arcades. This move has been coming for a long time... when was the last time Capcom released a new arcade game in the USA anyway?

I have 2 questions to ask :
1) Why Zangief?
2) Fuchikoma, are you going to include Mizuki in your tag image when SS0S will be "released" ?

Good question. 'Gief has always been one of my least favorite Capcom characters. I'm surprised that Kyo and Ryu aren't up there.

Dang how am i gonna cash in those fighters edge points and the fighters edge keychain that had absolutely nothing to do with anything in the crapcom universe. I think its a good thing in a way. All the titles that come over here are just watered down from japan anyway. Moreso for the console market so maybe im just complaining.

It's probably like how Presidential press secretaries like Ari Fleischer are always hated. They get someone to give people bad news that everyone already dislikes so that the PR of the more popular people isn't hurt.

14:27 Despite the fact it makes some of the best games around, and even though some of its forthcoming titles look bewilderingly good, these are tough times for Capcom.
Seems that despite earlier reports suggesting the Japanese company was expecting to make profits of around $40 million for the year ending March 31, Capcom now expects to make losses of some $89 million. Ouch.

So why the turn-around? Capcom provided some possible reasons for the losses, citing the recent closure of insurance/financial service company Stratus, along with the liquidation of Capcom's Coin-Op division.

No, I mean... I can understand why people like Zangief, even though I don't think anyone there knows the real interest of Zangief (which is hidden in the hundreds of crazy AA thread "***gairu" at 2ch) but... Why so huge? If it had been Ryu or Mai, it would have been what I would wait from a ... fansite, but such a minor character... And a real drawing, not a AA... Is it Zangief Day and nobody told me ?

Capcom stated a long time ago that there will never be a MVC3. They did all they could do with the series with MVC2.

For CVS3 they would have to renew the contract they had which stated each company, SNK and Capcom create 3 games a piece. They made CVS 1, CVS Pro, and CVS 2. SNK made SVC for the NGP, Card Fighter's Clash 1 & 2. There's a new contract with Playmore, but it doesn't state anything about Capcom making another SNK Crossover.

Despite what people on the Net keep saying, Capcom is involved in Sammy vs. Capcom as the game is being made jointly. It will mostly be Sammy but Capcom is involved.

Because of the golden rule of art:

Ugly, chiseled men in their 30's and up are easier to draw than attractive young characters.

As for Capcom Coin OP closing it's doors, all I've got to say is, they were already dead for a long time. This just makes it official.

Not that it matters much. CvS2 was distributed in the US by Sega anyways.

Seems like Capcom's going through a Disney complex right now (Disney closing it's animation studios/Capcom closing it's coin-up division).

Most definitely... RED CYCLONE HAS SPOKEN!

btw... I think this only effects Capcom's USA arcade division... with the success of their Gundam games in Japan, I doubt they'd pull out of that market... so you want new Capcom arcade games? go to Japan.

Yes, I had also had the impression it only applied to the USA division... and they say that the International division will still provide service after they shut down, anyway (so people can still get those suicide batteries replaced, hopefully!)

If it's not a joke, it's sad news for me, but, hey, it was about time.

It's been like, what, three years or four since Capcom said they would start focusing on consoles and start phasing out the arcade business? If this is real, they took too much time.

It was a fun time...
