Well here’s a real bit of unfortunate news. Word is out today via Polygon that Capcom US has had to lay off, according to their PR, several employees as the result of internal restructuring. As a part of this process, Capcom’s senior vice president Christian “Sven” Svensson has voluntarily stepped down. Svensson stated in a […]

And to think, so many people have said that Capcom doesn’t listen to its fans or care what they want. Due to the enormous outpouring of vehement rage at the very existence of Rockman Xover (which our own Heat Man was less than impressed with), Capcom Senior Vice-President Christian Svensson addressed the prolonged absence from […]

Capcom wants you… to give them some input on what they should be doing in the digital (not retail) space. “Obviously,” says Capcom Vice President Christian Svensson, “we have many opinions internally and we’re looking to gather some data about your buying habits and what franchises and even title types, you’d like us to make […]

In case the 40 minutes of gameplay footage wasn’t enough to whet your appetite for Street Fighter X Mega Man before the release on December 17th, Kotaku has posted a new interview with Capcom USA Senior Vice President Christian Svensson and the game’s creator, Seow Zong Hui.

But are there simply too many different series, their settings […]

Looking at the responses to our hands-on with Rockman Xover at the Tokyo Game Show, one gets the impression that many of you are not especially thrilled with what you have seen. Some of you have even turned the tables on Capcom and referred to the game’s title as “Rockman’s Over,” given that this is […]

The folks at Capcom have made a lot of murmurings about plans in the works to celebrate Mega Man‘s 25th anniversary. However, that doesn’t mean you should go expecting some amazing new game (though a number of fans have regardless).
