The new studio will open in Osaka, where Capcom’s HQ is located. The development studio has says that it will be ramping up development staff accordingly.
Thanks, Bilbo
Capcom: I wonder why we’re in debt. Hmmmmmm
3DS makes them a ton of money. They want to invest that into smartphone game development? Awesome :\
capcom and nintendo are two different companies :/
Capcom’s just asking for their fans to give up on them.
Yep!
Good bye capcom it was tun while it lasted. Also the trasnlation of this comes like this:minster hunter soon on phones we go bust next year.
That money could have been used for something else, dumbasses! You’ve done fucked up, Capcom.
*cues Mega Man death sound*
Look! Is the 6th sign! Gaming doom is near!
Go to your homes, kiss your consoles cuz the end is near.
I just…. what… instead of making a next-gen Monster Hunter for Wii u that would sell like hot cakes, you invest in MOBILE STUDIO!? I am sorry but I don’t see the logic, Nintendo buy them NOW
Nintendo buying them?Nah, not going too happen.
It could, you never know what will happen in the industry nowadays. Besides, that would mean Nintendo would have instant access to a lot of exclusives.
High Command should only buy their successful franchises and leave their empire to rot…
well…maybe I say they should go after RE, Street Fighter and other names like that
Capcom is broke, but not broke enough to sell their company.
how long will that last
They need a major wake up call from their mistakes, as make actual megaman games, bring monster hunter to the west including frontier, Make Resident evil scary like how it used to be instead of being predictable and for the love of everything Bring ace attorney investigations 2.
And this is only the start there needs to be street fighter V, ghost trick 2. DMC 2 (new one) and much more. If not I’m guessing they’re gonna end up like sega or even atlus.
That is true
If they’re not gonna use it for something profitable, at least use it for something fun like cocaine and hookers.
Capcom, we hardly knew ye
It’s actually good for them. Japan loves handheld gaming.
Does the “mobile” here equal to handhelds, or mobile phones?
“Capcom wants to invest heavily in the smartphone gaming realm as an avenue for future growth opportunities.”
Goodbye Capcom.
And that’s how Capcom survived bankruptcy… Thanks to one single game on the right system…
HA-HA-HA laugh much
Hopefully they will not do something stupid with all that profit… Naa, its Capcom…
The news is that they actually did something stupid.
So we will never see a reboot of the Resident Evil franchise…
Well you shall partly be missed Capconians…
Oh my god, Capcom are so fucking stupid…
“Hey, we had no money, and now Monster Hunter 4 practically saved us, what do we do?……lets spend all that money and make a mobile studio”.
So they take a money making venture and put it into something that will lose money.
Anyways one taking account which companies will fold during this generations, I now have two on my watch list.
Wtf? Capcom you noobs.
Instead of making a new Mega Man game or Okami game. They’re wasting money on a mobile company. Really, Capcom. :/
Mobile gaming is huge in Japan. It’s far more successful than anywhere else in the world.
Don’t bother, these idiotic, social rejected gaming dorks wouldn’t understand what expanding business or entrepreunurism is all about.
Seriously? Use the money to make a new fantastic Megaman Blockbuster game you dips!!
