Capcom says Goodbye to Fighting Games

Sad sad but true

the last game they will be making is their All Star Fighting Jam and the DarkStalkers Port on the PSP.

I read it here http://in-sane-o.deviantart.com/journal/3820880/
The source is http://www.news0r.com/index.php?s=Norit ... submit.y=4
It's in Japanese though

if this is true, its a total shame. they had some really great fighting series' and inspired a generation of fans as well as companies.

the king is dead, long live the king.

I can't believe this... Probably they'll just stop for some time, and wait for the popularity of fighting games to increase again. They've been releasing several fighting games per year in the last years.

I want to see a more reliable source. I don't doubt that it is true that Noritaka Funamizu is leaving Capcom, but I do doubt that Capcom would stop making fighting games when they have a large following for them.

That makes no sense

The hell tis cant be true. They make so much money off there fighting fanboys each year this would be such a stupid move.

Does anyone here read japanese, for Capcom's sake? What exactly is written in that japanese website?

I can't believe this.

This is impossible.

Most likely, they'll stop making them for a while. They did it with RPGs, too, didn't they?

I would have thought that they would have stopped making Mega Man X games before the stopped making fighting games.

Perhaps they only meant stop making 2-D ones?

Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance was a nice revival for the MK series. Surely Capcom can come up with something like that for SF.

God I hope they stop, they're fighting games have mainly been rehashes.

Oh man.. this can't be true

I'm not say i belive it, but i have to admit it would be a refershing change. I mean i've bought almost every single capcom game released but in reality they are just new versions of old material. Hopefully this isn't the end and they will start up again once they have a new hardware system and possible better sprites. I would love to see some Guilty Gear quality sprites for the capcom characters.

But that place is pretty reliable i read there that Nobou was quiting Square Enix there long before it was announced in america. so... -shrugs- jsut gotta wait for the final vertic

I really dont belive this, Capcom is like the best Fighting genre producer ever.

To me, Capcom is the Street Fighter and Megaman series.. sad day indeed, should it be true.
At least.. we'll still have the millions of versions of Street Fighter 2 to keep us busy ..

i think its due to the rising popularity of 3d fighters that capcom decided to do it. they have never really been that great at 3d fighting games. the rival schools series was great, but it was just a 2d fighting game in 3d. not quite the same.

Clessy · Post by **Clessy** » Mon Nov 15, 2004 4:02 pm

I'm sad that Capcom never remade Street Fighter 1.

Capcom must be insane if this is true. That's their main market right there!

I knew this was coming. Thanks for all the hits Capcom, you were truly one of the best.
