A new children’s franchise gets the go ahead today after Capcom announced they will be launching Gaist Crusher on the Nintendo 3DS for the tail-end of this year. The action game, expected winter 2013 in Japan, will draw strongly on both their Mega Man and Monster Hunter series, giving a harmonious blend of entertainment through unique humour and a beat-em-up style.
Capcom hopes to expand their franchise into cross-media merchandise, featuring an anime and manga series, toys and music. There has been no confirmation as to whether Gaist Crusher will hit North America and Europe, but with their high ambitions the West could well be seeing this game in the near future.
Well, I hope it does well. I still want Megaman though. But this might buy my time.
Nintendo might be so happy to have Capcom on their handheld. MH4, MH3U, this, Revelations, what else
Looks like a Saint Seiya ripoff
Exactly what I was thinking. For anyone who doesn’t know, Saint Seiya = Knights of the Zodiac.
It does but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing lol
dude i thought the same thing
It’s looks like monster hunter in the future a little bit.
Cool. Want to know more because, you know, Capcom isn’t top notch anymore.
Cool. I want more megaman tho

Interesting I guess. The colors remind me of Power Rangers!
Go go Power Rangers!
Anything they offer now is better than the last Resident Evil games…
ET 2
“childrens franchise?”
too bad I’m 19 :(
I guess I won’t be allowed to play
Really hope you are joking…
This looks way too similar to Saint Seiya, I like it.
Sainy Seya anyone?
Capcom has done a great job and to me they “kind” of redemebed themselves from megaman legends 3! This game looks great and it looks highly fun ;) I would love to buy it
Yes! Saint Seiyaman!!! xDDD
Well, the game looks awesome, nice graphics and fun gameplay, so.. i guess could be a good franchise if they managed to keep repetitive stuff away.

How could this sell more than mega man? I dont understand capcom. They can put money into all these projects but a huge video game icon doesnt get anything for years
Sounds good
I can definitely see Geo Stelar (Megaman Starforce, the DS games) making an appearance or cameo in this.
But knowing Capcom… They’ll just add a random Serbot head in the background.
[continued laughter]
Looks interesting, this is what the industry needs, new IPs even if they look a little sain seiya-ish, however that can’t be a bad thing.
oh look it’s knuckles and tails.
It draws strongly on franchises like MegaMan; including its sudden and constant cancelation announcements
