spenser.d Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I would like to remind everyone that, as the tag states, this, at the moment, is pure rumor & speculation. Microsoft Purchases Capcom. Whaaat?! The story reported by Destructoid back in November has been revisited. While this rumor seems quite unlikely, several independent sources reveal that Microsoft has indeed purchased Capcom. Honestly, this seems more like a stir to interest bored reporters and open the eyes of many bored people at work today though. However, Microsoft has been know to make many medium scale company buyouts in their past, such as Rare, however the thought of Capcom being owned by Microsoft seems to be a bit too much to be held believable. This could actually lead to a large breakthrough on Microsoft’s part in the Japanese market, as Capcom is widely known throughout Japan, since the company is based from there anyways. Where did we get this information? First being the Evil Avatar forums. As more information becomes available about the truth of this matter, more releases will be soon to follow. Anything is possible now in the gaming world, as popularity and publicity for the so called hobby expands. Megaman 360 anyone…..? Would be very interesting if true.

The Teej Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 What happens to Capcom's existing PS3 projects, though? Do they get scrapped and ported to the 360? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menge Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 What happens to Capcom's existing PS3 projects, though? Do they get scrapped and ported to the 360? we don't even know if capcom was bought, man i think they'd keep it... they've invested all this money into it already... why not make some revenue off of it?

Brandon Live Veteran Posted January 12, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 12, 2007 Ooh, I'd love that. They've been releasing some really great quality games lately (like Dead Rising and Lost Planet). Plus Megaman compilations on the 360 (or XBLA?) would rock :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianwoollam Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hope they carry on with their Nintendo Projects, I'd be gutted if they cancelled Phoenix Wright on the DS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that would be a good move :), Wonder playing, and seeing XB360 Plastered during the game :p Only if it is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menge Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 just a quick addition: i hope it doesn't happen :p Capcom needs to keep on developing for the DS, too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted January 12, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 12, 2007 As long as they keep making games for my DS and Wii, then I'll love it. It wouldn't hurt MS anyway... Most people see the Wii60 as the perfect combiniation :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.KICK Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 just a quick addition: i hope it doesn't happen :p Capcom needs to keep on developing for the DS, too :) They will as Rare do games for the Nintendo hand held systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippin666 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I honestly can't believe that people here acutally think that this rumor could really be true. Capcom is one of the fniest japanese game dev in Asia and around the world. There is no way in hell that Capcom is in such a finalcial dept to accept any proposition. I wouldn't had been surprised to hear from this a couple of years ago implying SNK, Sammy, Bandai or else,... Anyway, Capcom is already deving for the 360 on their own! I still love you all !!

NightmarE D Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 There is no way in hell that Capcom is in such a finalcial dept to accept any proposition. When one company buys another it's not always because the one company is in debt. Everyone has their price. If you want a certain company, it's all about finding what price that is to get it. But in all honesty I don't see this being true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
