Christian Svensson, Vice President of the US arm of Capcom recently took the stage at this Game Developers Conference to talk about popular franchises and the company’s excitement regarding the recently released Nintendo 3DS.
Q: Capcom is big player in the handheld market, particularly in Japan. There are obviously some very exciting new prospects in that arena at the minute. How exciting is it to have that new hardware to work on?
Christian Svensson: Absolutely thrilling. We have a lot of projects that are in the works for handheld platforms. Stationary consoles, if you will, have migrated down to the portables. There’s some really exciting content that we’re talking about. I think if you look at 3DS as an example of what can be done, it’s extremely robust. I don’t know if you’ve had any time with it, but it’s the console experience in you hand, plus, plus, plus more. I think that if you look at RE: Mercenaries, and a bit later at RE: Revolutions, people are going to be just blown away. Nothing I can talk about right now though.
I can’t wait to see what they’re going to do with Megaman on the 3DS.
Legends 3 is gonna be sick!
The RE games look totally slick on the 3DS. The Mercenaries footage looks better than the RE4 on Wii.
Good, now heavily support it Capcom!
RE: Revolutions? Not heard of that one. Revelations, on the other hand…
“We have a lot of projects that are in the works for handheld platforms.” Except Mega Man Legends 3, it seems. Hope they give it a greenlight soon.
Cant wait to see what they have in store for the 3ds
Monster Hunter PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They have a lot of projects in the works and I hope this is one of them.
Those are the 2 main games I cannot wait for.
