Capcom's Biggest Screw-Ups

Examiner: A while back, I said that Mega Man Legends 3, a sequel fans have been awaiting for over a decade would be hitting stores like the Steelyard Commons GameStop and It's About Games on Pearl Road.

Unfortunately, Capcom has announced that they have cancelled the game. Developers revealed on the game's blog, which had been used to give players insight into how games were made, and input into its production, concerned the company, which led to the cancellation.

Many fans are outraged. However, I'm not surprised. Capcom has had a pretty long history of making bafflingly stupid decisions. This is just the latest in a very long line. At the behest of a gamer at Cleveland State University, I've decided to compile a list of them.

Devil May Cry... Ninja Theory...

Horrible idea.

WhiteLightning4677d ago

Resident evi....Slant Six

Crap looking L4D style game which looks to have a lasting appeal of a month

Even worse idea

Lord_Ranos4677d ago

Ninja Theory DEFINITELY should be on the list >:(

Pozzle4677d ago

Dino Crisis 3 should be on the list.

What the hell were Capcom thinking when they cooked up that game. D:

For some reason that game still scared me.

Must've been how bad it was. Best part of the game is were '3rd Energy' is name dropped to have finally been harnessed.

The rest. Just baaaad. Hilariously bad voice-acting.

Hey Capcom I want a remake of Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 on Switch or, maybe Switch 2. I loved both of those games on GameCube.

Good. capcom and square enix were my two favourite developers and now it's just CapCom! Square enix keeps missing the mark, their sparks gone.

Shinji should never stop making games. Kinda crazy he left the funding of M$ though.

It's the enjoyment of independence since leaving Capcom that he probably likes. Your company, your rules.

Also, I don't think it's Microsoft's money that would have kept him around. The problem is their culture. We've seen more than once where individuals or teams wanted to leave Microsoft because of how they run things.

I don't think I've ever seen a developer at Nintendo or Sony that bought themselves out from being controlled. But we've seen it at Microsoft. Should be interesting what he decides to do next.

I remember when it was announced that he was leaving Tango, someone on N4G claimed that he was old and it was time for him to retire.

I couldn't help but laugh at the ignorance. Mikami (like most Japanese people), do not want to work for Microsoft, they want their games to be played by their fellow citizens, which means Switch, Playstation, and PC. But this fool couldn't comprehend that. 🤣

Was waiting for his return announcement, glad to see that he's back! Please don't make mobile games.

I hope it's still survival horror

They should build on what they did with Evil Within for a new IP and take notes from the Evil Within sequel with those open hub areas.

Wouldn't mind if it was like Resident Evil but with a vampire virus instead.

Yeah this man's skills need a new start to thrive. Hope he keeps doing what he loves. Wonder what his next project is.
