Capcom has been on a hot streak it recent years, its franchises impressing almost across the board and offering both nostalgic and progressive design.
This week on Gaming: The Podcast, John Robertson and Stace Harman discuss Capcom's success and look at how the company has firmly re-established itself as a top tier source of games.
The Pokemon Company had retail sales worth of 10.8 billion US Dollars in the year 2023, based on the latest report.
that merch tho.
ridiculous the numbers they pull in, which makes it even worse when i think about the low budget broken games they make. or have made recently
Of course not. That's why I have tem tem because even if it's not the greatest I at least know the indie dev was trying
Great plug for Tem Tem right there. It's not the greatest but at least they tried.... 🤣
@zeek that's right it's as good or better than a pokemon game but they didn't have access to pokemon game money. So it's more of a stain on pokemon company to be in the same ballpark as them
It's time we admit that they were never really that amazing to begin with. The games have never quite reach the same level of awesomeness as the anime. Look at the last few seasons we got to wrap up Ash's adventure, and the new series. 4 lazy Switch games and a remake which was so low effort that you wouldn't be able to tell it's a remake if your weren't told beforehand. The concept of Pokemon will always be awesome, but man the games absolutely suck.

who said they r good ?? recycling PS1/PS2 era games and most of the times destroying them is good??
RE3 Remake let s e honest was Bad ...MHRise looks like a Nioh game rather than MHunter ...and let s dont talk about -completely out of touch-RE7-8....
where are the genuine games like Dragons Dogma or Shadow of Rome or even the JRPG series they had back in 90 s Breath of fire ? they stuck with 3 IP s all and all (RE, SFighter and Monster Hunter) and they mutated them so much (to the worse) that are not recognisable anymore
.the only good game they developped lately was Monster Hunter World which i admit they almost got it perfectly right
I guess someone at Capcom finally listened and righted the ship before it went down. God knows they were a mess at one point and it was sad to imagine such cherished IPs being left to rot.
Here's hoping they stay on course!
Now if we could *ahem*get Sengoky basara in the West again that would be great.
Good? Yeah maybe. Better than a couple years ago? Hell yes. But as good as capcom in the Nineties and up to around 2004? Hell no.
Now? They’ve been pretty consistently good throughout their entire existence! Sure, their whole focus on outsourcing IPs to western developers was a bit of a misstep, but each generation they’ve had stellar hits.
Capcom is one of my favorite developers and I think if I had to choose only one Japanese developer to get games from it’d be Capcom.
