They've bitched about MM's low sales before; wouldn't this save them some money? (I guess the real answer is "because they couldn't get their heads out of their asses long enough")<br /><br />I know that the Inti Creates-developed games aren't perfect, and I dunno how a SEGA-made MM game'd play, but Capcom had all year to try that option. Did they spend all year just flailing around and hoping we wouldn't notice?RADIXnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-69087146454810437112012-10-10T19:45:45.410-05:002012-10-10T19:45:45.410-05:00Everything kobun37 said.

Just because Capcom has been doing incredibly shoddy work as of late, does not mean that selling their properties to other companies would make anything better.

If Capcom goes out of business, then other companies will probably pick up their licenses. Like how Mortal Kombat ended up with Warner Brothers Entertainment after Acclaim bit the big one.<br /><br />However, I'd rather not see that happen in this case. When other companies pick up a license, it's a toss up whether they'll actually stay true to the originals or use it as an opportunity to "reimagine" the series. I don't think a Nintendo purchase is goint to happen, because when has Nintendo ever picked up a defunct company's licenses? They would rather make their own stuff. So think about a western developer getting the license, making a blue clone of Master Chief, sticking him in a brown FPS and calling it a Mega Man game. <br /><br />There's also the possibility of the new owner ruining the series because they view it as fodder for easy money with little effort. Look what happened to the Destroy All Humans! series after EA gutted Pandemic Studios and sold the license to THQ. They released two terrible sequels and now the series is probably dead for good.<br /><br />So really, we should be hoping Capcom gets their act together instead of passing Mega Man to someone else.kobun37noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-38010994918680888492012-10-10T16:02:08.931-05:002012-10-10T16:02:08.931-05:00@October 10, 2012 9:28 AM

Nintendo, or anyone else really, gets the franchise, axes the merchandise, and puts out a game.<br /><br />Should that game fail, the franchise would be f*cking done as a whole for good.

This is the same company that always goes big on budget, no matter what, if they think it will sell in the millions. Seeing how RE6 has the SFxT hate train on it, as well as it actually being shit even for the critics, shows signs of this happening again.<br /><br /><br />Only many people looked at RE6 as Capcom's last chance at redemption or keeping their faith alive.
