Capcom has kept quiet on Internet rumours it has pencilled in Zak & Wiki 2 for the Wii and hotly anticipated beat-em-up Street Fighter 4 on Xbox 360 and PS3 for Q4 2008/Q1 2009.
The rumour came from a poster on popular game forum NeoGaf, who claimed over the weekend to have received a European retailer list detailing some new Capcom games.
However, in a post on Capcom's website, Seth Killian, Capcom Entertainment Inc. Senior Manager, Community, poured scorn on the rumour, saying: "Why would a retailer, source of approximately all leaked info in the gaming universe, just be randomly given a list of titles as far out as Q1 2009?
The Street Fighter series has a long history, but which are the seven best games the franchise has yet offered to gamers?
After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.
I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.
BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.
eyyy max xD
one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.
The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.
In the same interview at EGX 2019 recently, Capcom and Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono responded to a fan question asking if there were any plans to bring the fourth or fifth entries in the series to the Nintendo Switch.
they botched SFV so bad, just start over, make a new version with proper single player mode and fully fleshed out with support for all of the consoles this time.
Did you see how Ultra and the Collection sold? We don't need to convince Nintendo of anything. Just put it on the console.PHYSICALLY.
You’re not seeing Street Fighter V come to other platforms besides PC because Sony helped co-fund the game so it’s staying only on PS4 & PC
That doesn't makes sense. Is Nintendo saying that Capcom can't publish the game on the system because it's users don't want the game? if so, that's really stupid of them, because why should they care?
Nintendo isn't saying such things of course.
Capcom shouldn't pass the buck. If they don't want to make more SF games on the Switch, then just say so, and say why.
If they want Nintendo to fund the project, then they are the ones that need to convince Nintendo to give them money.
Both would rule even though I was kinda disappointed after seeing the SF4 screens. I was expecting the game to look more like the uber cool trailer but the in game shots are far more cartoonish and less stylish thant that trailer.
As for Z&W2, the HAVE to make it.
Agree
Look's like a n64 game!
nintendo needs to get capcom more money and keep the wii winning
nothing to be quiet about zak and wiki 2
