Capcom could be taken over?

[O Ilusionista]

I wouldn't mind seeing Netherrealm taking Street Fighter and Darkstalkers.

This could be cool

[DEMONKAI]

And well...sh*t i wouldnt mind seeing Power Stone comeback also....I think that might be right up Nintendo's Alley since they did Smash brothers. That and Ghouls & Ghosts i think would be in good hands...

[Trinitronity]

We have that censoring since long time. Cussing is not welcome here. We are not that juvenile.
And yes, I am implying that. Give me a good example of a real fighting game done by Nintendo, please.

I don't have to give an example, because judging a developer based on past work is stupid.

[Jelux Da Casual]

...Give me a good example of a real fighting game done by Nintendo, please...

You right, no one can. Nintendo hasn't made one.

Neither has SONY.

Neither has Microsoft.

None of the Big 3 have made a fighting game. They've PUBLISHED plenty, but have not sat down and in-house (Nintendo R&D, SCE USA/JPN, or MS Games Studios) have made a fighter.

So, the logic of thought is fundamentally flawed from the beginning. Because fighting games are made by developers, not publishers.

[Arkady]

Did some googling Nintendo has made two fighting games
joy mech fighter and urban champion, both pretty lame in graphics
nothing for comparison, not even worth mentioning
I could see why that would put their hat in for a capcom sale

Urban Champion isn't a real fighting game either, but a watered down Smash Bros.
Also, how dare you insulting Joy Mech Fighter and its graphics.

but then again in certain....and i do mean certain situations its not always like that. Capcom has in the past just played a role in Publishing and thats it. SF EX series (for example) was pretty cool and it was developed by Arika BUT it was published by Capcom....it depends on what company can strongly handle both....

[Macaulyn97]

But the problem is that Nintendo still haven't done a decent fighting game. What would happen to SF? Despite hating Capcom's decisions, I think that the game I played so far have a very good gameplay, specially fighting games.

[DEMONKAI]

Yeah in that situation of course (with nintendo) theres a heavy chance they would screw up SF...Konami would have more of a shot at doing a decent fighting game than them

If nintendo got a hold of SF i believe they would butcher and water it down...or make it a frenzy like smash bros haha

Look, if Bayonetta and Xblade Cron X prove anything, it's that their more than capable of having more than just your archetypical content on their system. And again, ownership /= development.

Thats why I hope that if Capcom loses everything, Netherrealm should get SF and DS. If Nintendo wants something, let them get Megaman and Ghouls'n'Ghosts.

Dunno about Xblade, but Bayonetta 2 is not being developed by Nintendo. I think they're just sponsoring it, because otherwise there wouldn't be a Bayonetta 2, and Nintendo also gets exclusivity.

Wait, what about the other franchises?
What about Captain Commando, Son Son, Power Stone, Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, Bionic Commando, Resident Evil, Breath of Fire and the like. These games just cannot stop to exist, ya'know.

i say rockstar games should get the resident evil series since they make awesome games as for the others i say a split between namco and Microsoft & square enix for breath of fire 

[Jelux Da Casual]

OMG, that's my freaking point. Just because Nintendo would known it DOES NOT MEANthat their going to make it. Developing and publishing are two different things. Nintendo would PUBLISH Street Fighter, Resident Evil, the big ones, not make them themselves.

[-Whiplash-]

G lux I don't know why you're even bothering at this point.

People hear Nintendo they think "OMG they're gonna turn it into a kiddy game!" or something.

Yeah, I forget this is the internet. Rational thought doesn't exist here.

[LightFlare]

Capcom could benefit from some new ideas. As cool as an idea SfxT was, I wasn't to pleased with it's dumbed down movesets. I mean graphically it was gorgeous but the movelists were too short. I'd like to see Sony do Street Fighter...

[DEMONKAI]

i say rockstar games should get the resident evil series since they make awesome games

that could be interesting. A GTA huge open world Resident Evil game? It wouldnt be the same as the close quarters and solo type traditional RE games but it would fun dealing with all those ZOmbies ...

But then again....I think Rock star would do better with Dead Rising series

[HyperVoiceActing]

Why is Smash Bros not considered a fighting game? You fight people in it, like in all fighting games. Just because it doesn't force you to remember various button combos to pull off moves like SF or MK doesn't make it any less of a fighting game.

Because Nintendo said so, they stated since its inception that it is a party game.

Then we can consider any game where you fight people a fighting game right? If we follow this logic, God of War, Devil May Cry, Dynasty Warriors, Zelda and many others like that are fighting games as well, right?

[Arkady]

Vs games is what is classified as a "fighting game"
like snk street fighter and mortal kombat,
 god of war is more an adventure game  same as tomb raider

[Kriven]

"Nintendo has not made a good fighter."

Whichever one of you said this dismissed Joy Mech Fight without playing it based on the limitations of the NES graphics card. Ridiculous.

[Macaulyn97]

You mean a game of thousand years ago, that didn't have any sequel until now? It seems that Nintendo is planning to make another one, but we don't know if its good.

[Twinimage]

If Nintendo or any company for that matter bought Capcom, wouldn't Capcom still exist, but then be under the Nintendo/Whoever umbrella? Like when Microsoft bought Rare. Rare still exists but they make games for Microsoft.

If not and Nintendo were to buy Capcom, all of Capcom's fighting games could be developed by a different developer. For instance, Microsoft owns Rare's Killer Instinct IP, and had Double Helix Games develop the new KI game last year.

Also you have to consider the business aspect of the situation too. If say Nintendo bought out Capcom and developed the game as well, Nintendo could very well hire some of the Capcom developers that may be put out of work from Capcom being bought out. That's the saddest part of this situation, many people will likely be laid off from this.

Even if Nintendo bought out Capcom and then developed on their own without Capcom developers, wouldn't Nintendo have ownership of the Street Fighter system(s) Capcom developed for their games? I'm sure Nintendo could do fine with a fighting game IP.
Saying they wouldn't be able to make a good fighting game is kind of a slap in the face. I mean, look at their own IP's; Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc. These are all considered well made, high caliber properties. Don't you think if they developed a Capcom property, they would give it the same treatment as their own?

On a side note, I think it would be really cool if the next Street Fighter game had the same visual style as Ni no Kuni. They could retain the obligatory 3D character models as all modern fighters have, but give it a 2D anime look thus the characters could look like in the Street Fighter Alpha anime movie. Not saying Level-5 and Studio Ghibli have to be involved, just saying I would totally dig that art style... Just saying...
