I thought that the use of "we" in "whatever the fuck we want to talk about" was inclusive of everyone, meaning it was a group effort (myself included).
It seriously sounds like I'm angry to you, after me making four posts in a row about SNK games, and encouraging people to play kaillera games? Hell, one of my posts was just me saying a quote from Terry Bogart. Why would I possibly be mad if I had been encouraging and participating in it the entire time? I just don't see how it sounds mad, unless taken completely out of context.

PANCAKES!!!
But in all seriousness, Capcom is great. They need new sprites, though. SNK rules, but they really screwed up Samurai Shodown. And Akuma kicks the ass of all! |
I havent played the latest samurai showdown unfortunately. I got no beef with capcom, I jsut don't think they're better than SNK/Playmore.
I doubt capcom will ever resprite their characters, and it's a shame. looking at the old ass dimitri sprite that they reused for capco fighitng jam hurts after seeing the amazingly done SNK one for SVC chaos.
here, compare!

I like Capcom, they made Mega Man 2. And we all know that beating Metal Man as your first boss, on one life, without using an E-tank (on hard of course) is still one of the most gratifying things in a game, ever.

Its entirely possible to like both capcom and SNK. Capcoms been real good to me though, and I'm would chose the blue and yellow if one had to go under.
I'd drop EA before anything. Hell I'd drop blizzard before either of those, and bungie to boot.

Blizzard was dead to me at Diablo 2. They introduced the item grindfest and mouse-breaking clickfest at ADD inducing speeds. All the creative people left and now they're just making the piece of shit cash cow world of warcraft.

Exactly.
And if I hear a single person compliment blizzard's "originality" (read: rob warhammer 40k and DnD) I'm throwin punches.
But they did make starcraft. Which was not original, but was enjoyable. I'm willing to dump that to keep capcom SNK-playmore alive.

Starcraft was/is more then enjoyable. It may or may not be the greatest real time strategy game ever made,as it has staying power. I still play nearly every day, and as time progresses, triggers get more complex, and better UMS maps surface. It's one of the few RTS games that evolves with it's user base. Age of empires/mythology, civilization, and games of the sort are obviously GOOD, but none of them have changed and progressed as drastically as starcraft has.

When I heard that they were making a DarkStalkers for PSP, I said to myself "Finally, Capcom will resprite those characters." I was wrong, sadly. 
Capcom's own fighting franchises are dead to them, and they only use them to rerelease anniversary collections just to make a quick buck.

Capcom has gotten kinda gay lately... They show no interest in their classic 2-D franchises and they fucking closed Clover Studios. If Resident Evil 4 hadn't been so damned amazing, I'd be inclined to hate them.

Will they be doing Resident Evil 5 as well?

Yeah, it's confirmed for the 360 and the PS3, no word yet on a Wii version. Given that the GCN version of RE4 revitalized interested in the stalling franchise and given the strong sales of the Wii, they'd kinda be assholes if they didn't.

You know what the Wii would be awesome for? A Snatcher re-make. Or, hell, just a version of Snatcher on the virtual console that lets you use the wii remote for the gun scenes

They had better release it for the Wii. I don't plan on getting a 360 or a PS3, but I will be getting a Wii after Christmas (so I can actually find one). I was initially disappointed that there were only plans to release it for the PS3, but you make a good point about the GCN version and the strong sales of the Wii.

I should specify that there is an RE game confirmed for the Wii, but that the game is not RE5. It could be something shitty like RE: Outbreak.

Or even worse, Resident Evil: Gaiden.

2d Fighters are dead in the eyes of the public. They're too busy driving warthogs and bejeweling and shit. It makes me cry at night.

I know, right? I just got done playing it. Everyone here should dust off their Brood War cd's and we should get a game going some time. I still play it and it's fun.

Capcom basically abandons their old and stalling, or new and stalling franchises. Like Viewtiful Joe. They basically killed that by closing Clover, and if they do continue to make games, they won't be as good as when Clover was making them.
And also, anyone who picks Bejeweled over Street Figher 2 should be ran over with a truck. And then shot. And then brought back to life. And then shot again. And then brought back to life. And then put into Street Fighter 2. And then made to have Akuma drag their soul to hell with the SHIN GOKU FUCKING SATSU, BITCH!!! 
Street Fighter is waaay better than some shitty Tetris clone. Capcom needs to make SF 4, even if it's 3D and only on consoles. C'mon Capcom, do for Street Figher what Midway did for Mortal Kombat!

Viewtiful Joe was one of the best new franchises of the new millenium, I'm pissed that it's dead.
But I bet we'll get another installment of The Devil Wants You To Play A Mindless Button Masher, or whatever the hell Dante's games are called.

Actually Capcom of Japan gave Capcom of America all rights to the Street Fighter franchise since the Japanese have basically moved on from it.

They're still essentially the same company though. Although, that WOULD explain why the only new SF games have been remake after remake.

All video games in hell are mindless button mashers and date-sims.
Also, Street Figher shouldn't be abandoned. There are many opportunites left in that series, and I'd hate to see it go the route of Strider and drop off the face of the planet.
