The company that made the awesome MegaMan games. Nowadays, it's going downhill, unfortunately...At least I can still keep myself happy playing RockMan & Forte, MegaMan 1,2,3,7, and X.

A evil and untalented video game company that only knows how to capitalize off other peoples success. Will never be as great as SNK was.

Amusement arcade Front-runner in the time when platform and shooting games, in 2D, were the bread and butter of the games industry. Noted primarily for the very standards of their in-game artwork, titles such as Black Tiger (1987), Strider (1989), Willow (1989) and Midnight Wanderers (1991) set the benchmark of the day for playability, innovation and their oft imitated visual style.

Has anybody else noticed that when Capcom were great a mysterious programmer called Blbon was credited as their lead programmer in those titles? You can't find Anything about this person on the Internet. Also, for those video game history freaks out there, like me, he was rumoured to have left Capcom for SNK.

Once innovative video game company who attracted people to amusement arcades long before the fighting franchises began, with games like: Commando, Ghosts'n'Goblins, Strider, Black Tiger, Mercs, Mega Twins, Vulgus, Willow, Three Wonders, 1942 and Mega Man. Then suddenly and inexplicably ceased to be innovative in 1991 with everything since Street Fighter II.

a videogame publisher/developer based in Osaka, Japan. Their popular franchises such as: Street Fighter, Megaman, and Resident Evil, are among one of the games that brought innovation and creativity to the fighting, platform and survival-horror genres. In addition, Capcom is the most contributing game developer for many platforms, giving ALL people a chance to play their exclusive title(s) on many game systems. Capcom doesn't have a 'loyalty' pledgementship (like say Squaresoft, Nintendo...etc.), just good affiliations to other companies in the videogame industry.
Capcom makes games for all game systems there are. So that many people has access to their games even if they don't have a specific game console in which the game is exclusive onto.
