Microsoft

Microsoft, in all honesty. I just want to see NeoGAF go on suicide watch as all their beloved games go to the Xbox and PC. I don't even care about Capcom IPs anymore, I've moved on. But the biggest Playstation and political left wing forum having a gigantic meltdown would be the funniest shit ever.

Microsoft lacks exclusives and new IPs besides sports and Halo. Capcom has old IPs that go unused. Might as well buy them out.

NeoGAF, and not Nintenbros.

Konami the pachinko emporium will buy them and convert them into a pachinko manufacturing subsidiary

No one. They should just sit on their IPs, re-releasing them when they can, like Treasure.

If it must come to that, Nintendo. They've shown more love to Mega Man by putting him in Smash than Capcom has in a decade.

sega or nintendo

Sony might buy them up for fun. That, or Sega like they did with Atlus. Either way Capcom needs financial help, and Sony is the only one throwing money at companies.

Nintendo
Capcom has a mountain of ip's they're just sitting on and many of them got started on the nes or snes.
The nes classic sold like even more addictive crack, and the super nes classic is looking to do the same.
Nintendo should be salivating at a chance to snatch up those ip's.

If Nintendo were smart they'd do it, but you know how that goes

>Sony buying capcom when they've got to prop up all their other failing divisions

Tencent WILL buy them.

They're already involved in a lot of aspects.

yeah because nintendo doesnt leave their ips to die....

The main reason Sony is throwing money at companies is because their larger business is a sinking ship. It's out of desperation. Buying Capcom would just increase the problem, because you know they're not going to do anything smart with the properties. They'd probably be even worse with them than Capcom is now.

They would rather kill themselves than being bought by Nintendo

They just purchased majority of stake in Funimation, and their Sony Pictures division to at least stable for now. It wouldn't surprise me if Sony pressured the boys at Crapcom to sell majority stake to them, or at least buy up the entire company given how in the red they are.

Eh IPs are worthless without good devs backing them. If MS does buy them, it will be a hollow purchase

this, the chinese won't be stopped

>tfw you live long enough to see Capcom die

Then they could forget about ever being successful in Japan again.

Tencent

Sony is a business that can keep failing for a while and lean entirely on credit if they so choose. They've lost over 9B dollars in the last eight years, yet they still stay a float.

Nice meme faglord. Tell how well their investment in buying out Hideo Kojima go for them?

XD SONY SO NICE LMAO SUCK IT KONAMI!

Meanwhile Kojima hasn't released a single presentable demo to the world. All CGI trailers of Death Stranding. No fucking gameplay ever. And we're on the 4th year of the PS4. With 6th year being when it's replaced by the PS5 (PS2 was replaced in 6 years). Hideo Kojima spends most of his day as the CEO of a newly created company with a contract by Sony on Twitter posting pictures of food, music CDs, and Bluray. Yeah, that Sony is really smart at money investments.

Sega. They are only good guys now

>go under
If capcom goes under they'll just double completely in arcade cabinets in pachinko, since that's where most of their money comes from.

Ideally, the companies best suited for each IP should acquire them. Nintendo is probably the only company who can make proper Mega Man games and also afford the buy the IP. As for Street Fighter, maybe Arcsys, though only if they're capable of making something other than air-dashers/anime fighters. DMC should go to Sony or Platinum, but only if Itsuno comes along as well.

>Tell how well their investment in buying out Hideo Kojima go for them?

Sony doesn't own Kojima Productions.

Warner Bros. Just for the autistic screeching by FGC faggots when they hand Street Fighter over to NRS a successful dev team.

They're just funding and publishing the project, nothing else. I think Kojima want to be independent from big corporations like Sony or Konami.

>the only company who can make proper megaman games
Funny joke. Some people are even blind enough to slurp up the garbage that is Federation Force.

I just want another standalone Resident Evil Mercenaries game with more characters and Dead Rising not to have died the way it did.

Never thought about this. Why not? Street Fighter v Mortal Kombat x DC

Inti Creates should get the rights to the Megaman IP

Dead Rising lived and died in the hands of the same studio that ran on near complete autonomy.

>trusting canadians with anything
lol

terrific idea

twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN

Wow, action figures today! Do you think he'll post his new pair of expensive glasses before the day ends? Sony totally BTFO Konami by hiring Kojima! He takes his job VERY seriously as a game director and CEO of his new company.

I'd be down.
Might finally get zx3 and the conclusion to those games if that happened.

You meme'd the wrong company user. It's okay you'll do better next time, also someone already beat you to it.

we should all pool our money together and buy it

he thinks capcom bankrupt is coming.
i have bad news for you.

Unironically the best idea in this thread
>MML3 brought back
>dragons dogma 2 now in production
>my dream street fighter game might finally happen
Fucking let's get on it boys

>the wrong company
Come on user at the very least look up the financial doings of the companies you shit talk. Capcom makes far FAR more money from their arcade cabinet production and pachinko cabinet production and their associated software production than they get from games.

Capcom does not need videogames. Capcom is not solely a videogame manufacturing company. At any point they could pull the plug, downsize, and they would actually be better off.

>Checking his twitter like an obsessed ex

Let it go Konami, he found someone new that won't turn his IP's into pachinko machines.

Sony has been working closely with them all gen, so I hope their relationship gets them first offer. I would love to see Sup Forums cry endlessly for 72 hours after it is announced.

Those epic may mays are totally gameplay demos my friend. Death Stranding is a con job by Hideo "No release date" Kojima.

dont call me user

sorry...

You want Capcom to go the way of Rare?

>Be a well beloved juggernaut developer years ago
>Have tons of likeable IP's and cult hits like Okami, Dead Rising, Darkstalkers, Megaman, DMC, etc, not to mention SF, RE or MonHun
>Say "fuck them all"
>Start outsourcing game development to western studios with shitty results (DMC, DR, Lost Planet...)
>DLCs out of their ass
>Won't focus on anything outside of MonHun, Street Fighter or Resident Evil (fucking up SF5 and over saturating the RE IP with a bazillion HD ports and spinoff games)
>You want Dragon's Dogma 2? Nope, pls buy the first game for fourth time, thxs
>Fuck Megaman
>Fuck DMC
>Pls buy my other countless HD ports
>Also buy my half assed Marvel movie advertisment game please
>Fuck you, we don't have to put effort on nothing, we are Capcom!

Good company ruined by monkeys in suits, the only thing it seems they don't fucked up yet is Monster Hunter.

If just Megaman and Monster Hunter went to Nintendo I'd be ok with this. I don't want to see Devil May Cry or Resident Evil under the Nintendo's thumb

I legit expect Norman Reedus and the Funky Fetus to be a launch title exclusive to the PS5 at this point.

I don't want to see Monster Hunter under Nintendo's thumb

Hi user. Fuck off user.

To apparently trigger Sonybros(?) Even though Nintendo has had the longest upstanding relationship with Capcom. It makes even less since when he arbitrarily brings up NEOFAG.

One bad game out of 9, a nice ratio if you ask me
Plus they only did the engine before comcept took over

>one

Oh, it seems you posted the wrong pic, let me fix that for you

Inafune left, clover studios left but Kamiya still likes and respects Capcom and still apparently goes drinking with executives
Itsuno is apparently still working on... something that he said he couldn't announce at E3 but would announce for us fans "of something" to us.
>DLC
SFV has the single best DLC in the fighting game market. Say what you want about the game but fight money is a standard that every single fighting game should adopt
>fuck megaman
You want to know what happens when you put out Megaman no matter what the hell it is?
X7
Universe
or this fucking piece of priceless antiquity
youtube.com/watch?v=I96KHqcioBg
As a Castlevania fan I would have been fucking ecstatic if Igarashi didn't "reinvent" the series by pumping out metroidvania after metroidvania with no clue on what made the series a series to begin with and instead Konami did anniversary celebrations with new arts and occasionally another reimagining developed by M2 as they flesh out the Rebirth series. Instead I get nothing because they literally killed their own IP
>HD ports
Fuck you Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen was the single best port I could have ever asked for.

And mind you I'm not defending Capcom, but I saw some shit that's about to raise my blood pressure and so had to get the rest of that out of my system before I started;

>Megaman
>Powered up
>Maverick Hunter X
>Megaman 9
>Megaman 10
All

>Darkstalkers Chronicles

Fake ass bitch boy fans talking about. "Why didn't they make more Megaman" and never purchased any of the titles. Like FUCK these pieces of shits. I get fucking heated when somebody starts talking about Megaman and I mentioned Powered Up and get a "what's that". Like motherfucker you never cared about Megaman. That shit was on Xplay and had entire paged articles about it in physical magazines for fucks sakes. It was on IGNs frontpage for MONTHS

FUCK this gay earth.

Microsoft or Nintendo.

I just want sonybro tears.

Instead you got Nintendo fag tears.

>SFV has the single best DLC in the fighting game market. Say what you want about the game but fight money is a standard that every single fighting game should adopt
Yeah but I'm talking about their overall history, what you said is a recent single case. Don't you remember the shitstorms about in-disc DLC's, or selling entire game endings as DLC like in Asura's Wrath? They went greedy as fuck, look at the last Marvel, it wasn't even out and there were already six DLC characters confirmed (just names without promotional images or anything because they're that fucking lazy)
>You want to know what happens when you put out Megaman no matter what the hell it is?
Yeah, you fucking burn it, even to the point of considering abominations like that Megaman FPS shit you put there. Also that brings us to the attemps they made to sell the RE franchise to the Cowaduty audience
>Fuck you Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen was the single best port I could have ever asked for.
No, fuck you, it's the fourth game they re-release that fucking game

Like I said, suits ruined Capcom, they've been doing it since the second mid of the last decade

>on-disc DLC That was an SFxT exclusive problem and was the LEAST of the problems with SFxT.
Still you're right. Capcom was the DLC jewking for the longest. Guess that bad reception is a lesson they took to heart
>Marvel
Every fighting game on the market besides GG has launched announcing it has character DLC planned. T7 has it listed right in the season pass that they're releasing... something.
>RE to the cowaduty audience
RE was fine even in RE5. It's shift was because they let Sasaki develop 6. Which in hindsight was a bad idea but couldn't have been predicted because the outbreak games were fun
>fourth game
What are the other ones.
The marvel port that people wanted. Dragon's Dogma that people wanted. RE1 and RE0 that people wanted. Kickstart my memory friend

dumb frogposter doesn't even know what to complain about

>fourth game
Sorry, I wanted to say "fourth time". Original, DD re-release on the same consoles as the vainilla edition, PC last year and now they're marketing the PS4/One ports. I hope that means they have plans for a second game, but who knows, maybe they're focused developing another SF2 re-release for the next Playstation.

Hopefully anyone but Microsoft or EA
Realistically they'll be absorbed by Microsoft or EA

I thought 9 sold well
You are right overall though. Capcom is at least smart enough to not listen to idiots who TOTALLY PLAYED DARKSTALKERS WITH MORRIGAN AND FELICIA AND DIDN'T JUST BEAT THEIR STICK TO THEM.

Wow 5 games in a series with 130 didnt sell well they sure took a hit there

>"Why didn't they make more Megaman" and never purchased any of the titles
Well maybe they should have made GOOD games for people to buy.

>make good games
You've clearly never played Megaman Powered Up so I'm going to forgive you for your ignorance.

>mfw Sup Forums has expected Capcom to go bankrupt any minute now for like 6 years straight
Tomorrow for sure. They can't keep getting away with it

probably bamco

People like you are the worst thing to come out of "video game" culture"

>I WANT THINGS TO HAPPEN JUST SO I CAN SEE PEOPLE GET MAD NO MATTER THE OUTCOME
I wish consolwarring was recognized as a mental disease already

Capcom under EA wouldn't be too different from current Capcom, in fact they might have higher budgets for their games

Capcoms current business models come from EA though.

Very little would change.

>One bad game out of 9, a nice ratio if you ask me
>Plus they only did the engine before comcept took over

Other way around. Comcept is just a bunch of artists. They can't make games. They just do art, and general story, the "Concept", and then have another company flesh out those ideas on paper into an actual game. MN9 is 90% Inti-Creates.

>>Darkstalkers Chronicles
>>Dark Stalkers Ressurection
>BOTH
>SOLD
>LIKE
>SHIT
Both were rereleases of ancient games that sold well on their initial releases.
