E310 | Capcom Bringing Back Older Games

Capcom has announced its intention to revitalise some of its older games. There are already some new instalments of previously popular Capcom titles that have been left gathering dust due to other, newer games coming to the forefront. With the likes of Mega Man and Bionic Commando appearing in the past couple of years, the question has to be what else does Capcom have up its sleeve? A new Breath of Fire, perhaps, or even letting Goichi Suda use the killer7 name again?

Capcom is very proud of its multi-million selling established franchises such as Resident Evil, Street Fighter and Monster Hunter. But we’ve also got some other franchises in our locker which we’re going to re-establish on the global stage in the near future. We’re not going to rest on our laurels and even with established franchises we’re going to try new things. We have quite a few surprises up our sleeves as we look to bring back some much-loved brands, create new ones and innovate with our existing line-up. I believe our fans will be happy with what we’re planning.
