At a shareholder meeting held yesterday, June 16, Capcom shareholders did not approve a proposal that would renew the company’s existing takeover defense. The countermeasure, which was originally adopted in 2008, kept Capcom from being bought out through a hostile takeover.

Very little is known as to how this will affect the company in the near future, but they are now open to a buyout from external entities should a majority of its stock be purchased.

According to Capcom’s official statement, they “will continue to focus on further preserving and enhancing corporate value and common interests of its shareholders” despite the non-approval and, if Capcom shares are acquired by a large-scale purchaser, they are ready “to make necessary measures within the admissible limits of applicable laws and regulations.”

Capcom’s full press release has been included below.

I have wishful thinking, but I hope if someone buy's Capcom's stocks, I hope Shinji Mikami reclaims his creation work, Resident Evil and revives the franchise. He is, after all, the creator.

Shallow Prediction:

Capcom will negotiate to divide up key franchises and teams to several publishers. Just as Sega did.

I get a feeling too. Like Sony will buy some IPs, Nintendo will buy some others ones like Megaman, Microsoft might buy out other games. Too lazy to out in depth but I sure as hell hope Shinji Mikami makes the next RE title

I'm kinda torn on this. Capcom of America is a massive resource-wasting trainwreck and kinda should get bought out so they could be able to do smart choices like never having considered a pretty bad season pass for DR3 to be a good idea or porting Dragon's Dogma to PC when there was more people asking for it than stated (PC-bound action adventure RPG fans looking for alternatives, not just some niche) when it would be profitable.

On the other hand, we're talking about Capcom in general. If they only meet decent to mediocre success in Japan when they already have western divisions, sure enough they'd be an easy target for big names, and that could lead to them being the new Rare, changing their policies for the worst, or exclusives.

And I really fucking hate exclusives. Unless it's a new Monster Hunter game on Vita. Then I would be all over that shit like flies on a dead horse.

A lot of people would.

I'm also under the impression that people keep neglecting data from the game, do you guys know how PotS made his original characters? He actually studied every single game he referenced, down to the core. Doing this properly requires understanding how the original system was made, not just winging it.

It's all about the second analogue stick XD

Honestly though, I'd be a little disappointed if Monster Hunter became a Sony Exclusive. The reason why MH left in the first place was Sony began to demand a huge graphical upgrades to the series, instead of smaller upgrades and greater focus on gameplay, which would preserve frame rate and online experience. And I stand by Capcom in that sense.

But Hey, if MH did go Sony again, I'd still buy it and whatever it's on!

I keep seeing suggestions on Disney continuing their company acquiring campaign mainly for MvC4, and I'm beginning to feel a bit ashamed that I'm starting to consider it.

Wreck-It Ralph 2: Console Edition better make Zangief a main character and include more Bison, Ryu, Chun-Li & Cammy.

But really, as long as things don't get divided into a bunch of exclusives for series that weren't previously, I hope this will bring back some dead franchises people have been hoping to see return.  Or if they do, they're done well at least.

I think Nintendo should take some titles but there are some titles that should stay within Sony. I don't want Devil May Cry on Nintendo. Or Resident Evil as well. Unless Platinum Games is gonna work on RE, because that would include Shinji Mikami from Tango Studios going there.

I don't believe to Nintendo.
And also: SF, FF and RS is one canonic world. Don't need to separate.
-And it's cool: Street Fighter is too... for children now, Final Fight must be violent. Well, only Rival Schools is break system. But anyway- only NetherRealm. I don't think that Nintendo or (or ONLY, Nintendo have a chance, this one- not) Disney can give them second life.
-Megaman and Vietiful Joe can be Nintendo's (or here is f*cking Disney!!!).

I agree with this. Would make sense. I just hope to god that it isn't one of the console makers just because I don't want to buy multiple systems.

i just wish they'd sell ips


give Megaman, Strider, Rival Schools, Final Fight and Onimusha to Nintendo.

My responses:
Megaman: No. Sorry, but I honestly don't want that to happen. I don't know if I can give a good reason, but I really don't think that nintendo can provide that feel that megaman games are known for. Unless there's someone who really knows the feel of the games, I just can't see that.

Strider: That may work actually.

Rival Schools: Does nintendo even have fighting game ips? I really don't see that otherwise.

Final Fight: Doesn't really fit imo.

Not enough.
In the same SF2 also feels some kind of the seriousness.
Yes, their moves are impossible, graphics not MK and sometimes chars looks like fools. (Dhalsim...)
But this series was serious and characters was serous as on look (generic, but serious), as in moves and fight itself.
And what now...




They looks just stupid and they acting foolish. Like in some kind of show for children.

I agree that Megaman has seriously been neglected, and I agree that nintendo will do something about it, but if what they do will involve the same treatment with the New Super Mario games, not including SM3DW, then I don't want to see that see that happen.

Also I apologized because I didn't want anyone to take it the wrong way.

I can kinda see where you're coming from, but I agree with Sage. Then again, Mortal Kombat did do.....



Back to the topic in hand, with the graphics Nintendo does with space, i.e. Super Mario Galaxy, I feel Strider could be right at home. Not so sure about Mega-Man.

I can see Megaman doing very well in Nintendo. For all the dislike that people have for Nintendo and milking franchises, they do still understand the technical side of gameplay!

For every Mario, Kirby and Yoshi Sidescroller game, they all have unique functions of how new abilities unlock new content of the game.
Megaman with nice updated look (similar to smash model, if not that model) and his weapons changing how you can unlock secrets by returning to old stages... fuck, I'm getting Megaman X3 vibes.

making games that feel fairly formulaic and reuse some assets, but are still liked? because that describes most megaman games especially the NES ones

the characters are still mostly serious. the only "comedy" characters in usf4 imo are rufus, el fuerte and dan (i don't know why you put decapre and mika there). that's three (give or take a few) out of like 44. you're being ridiculous. don't pretend street fighter 2 was that much more serious than current street fighter

Yes, Ed Boon failed before.
But I talk about NetherRealm- MK9 and after. They stil don;t failed. Even their new chars, anounced in MKX not make me angry!
But they CAN make for new SF really flashy and spectacular gameplay, as they did in "Injustice".

Yes, I talked about SF4 as about a "new" game in series.
But I also talks about that right after SF2 this sh*t begins. It just has'nt nowaday's scales.
If I talked "everything is serioub, only SF4 if bad"- I would talk about it. I've added in lis SFA, SF EX, SF3 (still the champion. and even don't ask me about guy, looks like gay and stoled Guile's moves).

I agree that Megaman has seriously been neglected, and I agree that nintendo will do something about it, but if what they do will involve the same treatment with the New Super Mario games, not including SM3DW, then I don't want to see that see that happen.
making games that feel fairly formulaic and reuse some assets, but are still liked? because that describes most megaman games especially the NES ones

Yeah, that. I only liked a few of the Mega Man games, actually. Hell, my favorite series out of them all is MMZ. I understand reusing some assets, but at least have some 'new' feel to it. When I played NSMBW, it just felt like the first NSMB with the willmote and easy mode powerups.

well since the thread went to shit... I might as well be an annoying ad.

ATTENTION: Capcom can be bought out now because they are bankrupt. With Shinji Mikami now creating The Evil Within, he can redeem his reputation as the father of Survival Horror, and if The Evil Within is a success he can probably afford to buy his rights to his original creation, Resident Evil, and once he does that he can properly give us a RE2make and RE3make. SPREAD THE WORD.

Mk9 being a masterpeice is a fair assessment.

His argument lost weight when he said that a game with racial humor and spandex wearing hentai-bait was like a show for children (compared to a game with gore porn being "serious").

Mortal Kombat is a terrible series. MK9 was the most overrated game I've played since the Halo series or mvc2. It should just sell off the titles it doesn't use anymore, but leave a way to keep characters from those games as options for cross over games. PR has been a serious issue for them and SFxTekken kind of killed them

For me, the best Mortal Kombat is MK3, on genesis. Not UMK3, just MK3. Where all the chars had something unique..
After, they loose something on the road.. Passion, maybe.. And indeed, I was waiting more than what I've seen in MK9.

And honestly, I hope all the guys working at capcom will not suffer with this story. Please, don't come back with another plastic street fighter... Do it in Cell Shading as the last DBZ, maybe, or something..

Well a Capcom vs SNK 3 would be nice. but... I wouldn't play SNK vs Capcom 2.

KoF is cool and all but a proper CvS game would be the most exciting. CvS2 had so much depth and spice in its gameplay, that the game itself is worth spending hours and hours learning about the game. Despite how "boring" people label CvS2, I honestly think this was one of the most elite fighting games in all of fighting game history.
