AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Capcom has been kinda going downhill super fast recently, emo dante, the lack of dlc for marvel 3, not bringing over VARIOUS titles from japan (MHP3rd, AA:I2, etc), the complete abandonment of the megaman series, the list goes on.

It seems they only really support the 2 zombie franchises, and street fighter.

I'm pretty sad at the MML3 cancellation, but I'm really mad at the reactions here. You're a bunch of immature babies.

Don't do that, you idiot. You wouldn't support Capcom by doing so, and if they lack support, they'll only go with the franchises they know will sell well, and create even less games for smaller audiences (such as MML3). Boycotting a company for one cancelled game is not going to help gamers get what they want from that company.

Quit bitching. Because you seem to be incapable of extracting information from an article by yourself, I will do it for you:Does that mean "we're cancelling that project because of a lack of interest from the fans"? No, it doesn't. So don't say that Capcom is blaming you for the game being cancelled. THEY NEVER SAID THAT. They said "Mega Man Legends 3 Project didn't met the required criteria". Maybe it means the developers were doing a terrible job. Maybe it means that the higher-ups stopped believing that the project was worth it. But do not fucking dare say that Capcom is blaming you specifically. That's a lie.

Do you never turn on your TV? Here are a few videos for you:

Clearly these commercial do not exist.
Also, Capcom doesn't bitch about bad sales. They just react to them, like any company would do. Stop antagonizing them.
Oh sure, the fact that they're doing a freakin' Ace Attorney movie proves that Capcom doesn't give a flying fuck about the series, no sir, none at all.


Stopped reading there to facepalm for a while. So you're judging a game that isn't even out just because "oh my god it's a prequel and we're gonna learn how Dante was when he was younger and it's gonna be horrible because he's dyeing his hair black"? Get over yourself. That you don't like his new design, I can understand ; it doesn't fucking mean the game is going to be terrible and the series is going downhill.
And DMC, and Ashura, and hey remember Ghost Trick? And Okamiden? How about Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10? Clearly these games do not exist either.

"Capcom is going downhill"? No. In the last ten years, Capcom was never up that hill to begin with. They made legendary games, yes, but Capcom isn't Nintendo or Square Enix or Blizzard - they're actually a small company, that doesn't make that much of a profit and is struggling to keep up. Seems like you guys don't realize that.
Yes, it's sad that MML3 was cancelled, but I can understand and I can forgive them. It's not important. It's just a game, and I'd rather have them concentrate their efforts on games that will bring them more money to work with, so they can take more risks (like big companies can), rather than on a project they aren't sure will be successful (because if it's not successful, then they'll stop taking risks for a while). It doesn't mean MML3 will never exist, either.
There are thousands of other games out there to keep me busy. I won't stop being a Capcom fan because of that cancellation, and I'll keep supporting them with my god damn money - because posting hate comments on Capcom Unity, calling for boycott, all that shit is gonna hurt the company and thus hurt the gamers. It's an immature reaction.
MML3 is cancelled. It was one of my most anticipated games. I'm sad but I got over it. Stop being children and get over it too, guys.

^ what he said

Great Handsome Oppressor, the only thing I can disagree with you on is the whole advertising. Linking pretty much nothing but S/SF4 and MvC3 commercials isn't really showing that Capcom is trying to get attention to all their games. Why no Ghost Trick commercial? Okamiden? I'm pretty sure Phoenix Wright never got ones either and if they did maybe we would of gotten AAI2. They mainly only advertise "hardcore" games. If they want better sales on the others they need to advertise then so they can get more cheddar to make more games the fans would want.

Yeah because DS puzzle games look so good on TV.
I'm pretty sure that the Phoenix Wright series wasn't hurt from lack of advertising considering it sold millions of units.
The Ghost Trick online demo was marketing just as much as TV commercials, and it might just be more effective considering that I never once saw or heard about Street Fighter IV ads. It doesn't need to be shown on TV in order to be advertising.

You do know they said EARLY ON that they needed people to show that they're interested right? That was the criteria. Have a fuck ton of people show up.

Guess what? They can't advertise for shit, and unless you're checking that DevRoom daily or have an account guess who isn't going to know when things happen it's yooou.

So yeah, it's their fucking fault for setting their bar higher than they can reach, and then complaining that we're not tall enough to get it down.

The game was canceled because of a perceived lack of interest and sales... and what group determines interest and sales? The gamers. While I don't think people should take it so personally that Capcom has canceled these games, they are saying it's because they don't believe gamers have enough interest to help them reach the sales they want to reach. However, I'm of the mind that if you announce a game in a region, you're obligated to release it, but to each their own...



First of all, no I haven't seen any of those ads, and I do watch a fair amount of television, probably about as much as people in my age group. SO I'll concede the point that Capcom advertises some of their games.

Secondly, those links still aren't of the AA games or other niche titles Capcom has released and been disappointed in saleswise.

Thirdly, There's more to advertising than TV commercials, though those are definitely good to have as well. I remember hearing about Tatsunoko vs. Capcom for the first time online a week before it was released, and that was because the news sites were buzzing about it in anticipation, which is still word of mouth advertising. If sales aren't up to expectations despite the games being raving successes with the people who did buy them, I'd say the problem lies in exposure, not in gamers refusing to do their part to support the games.




... And where did I say they didn't care about the series? Because they don't spend cheddar on advertising? Being frugal =/= not caring. However, they're only making the series suffer by not putting in the cheddar to give it the exposure they need. Okamiden had a decent amount of exposure and released with a bang, whereas the previous year, AAI was released with a whimper and had less sales than Okamiden. They expected the AA fans interest to be enough exposure to translate into high sales, and when those high sales didn't materialize, it was blamed on a lack of interest in the game. I've personally gotten 3 people to buy AAI after it came out, all of whom had never heard of it despite being the target audience and who enjoyed it so much that they want to go back and get the entire series. When advertising for a "hit game" depends on word of mouth, you can't expect to keep high sales figures.

And the existence of the movie proves... what exactly? AA games are still being made in Japan where they're profitable (and where they get a lot more advertising). The issue is with Capcom of America, not Capcom as a whole or Capcom in Japan. And besides, I doubt the AA movie will make it (officially, at least) to America since it's a Japanese live action movie... so once again, your point in the matter is?

-K-

A month in and I already lost my stylus.

Solid job, Craw.

I bought extras.

I still lost all of them.

Sometimes i wonder where i put my stylus, thinking i lost it... then i notice it's in my mouth

They're just so small and loseable!

what sort of accessories are there for the 3DS

3d glasses

Omg i must get them

Donkey Kong '94 on the virtual console.
SO AWESOME
At first I was like "oh it's like the arcade game"
And then suddenly flip jumps and riding enemies up walls and other such things.

And I know the Cave Story discussion ended a few pages ago, but I heard that the Wii version has messed up music when changing areas, does the DSi version have this problem?
