Remember when Capcom didn’t really hit its numbers last year? This new “feature” in Resident Evil for the 3DS—you know, the one that basically says F.U. to the secondhand market—will surely correct that whole mess. Surely.
So charitable

Redemption
The “redesigned” PSP, Monster Hunter 3 Portable Edition. Just what the fledgling portable needed.
Duck!
It’d be really great if the 3DS didn’t follow the lead of what’s currently happening in the 3D space and decided not to put out games that feature cliche items flying at or pointing at the viewer from the inside the screen.
Goes for third parties too, although these Capcom screens (while really sharp) aren’t too encouraging.
Pachterisms
Capcom profits plummet 72%. Insta-analysis: Capcom really needs to come out with a Capcom 2 system to combat this decline.
Rhetorical
How come when a game like Dark Void sells a mediocre 600,000 copies it’s all “better luck next time!” but when a Wii game like Dead Space: Extraction does kind of the same thing it’s all “holy fuck Wii sucks and Nintendo hates gaming”?
Tell it like it is
“Our experience with Bionic Commando has demonstrated the difficulty of outsourcing the development of new title to overseas companies.” — Capcom statement
Holy fucking spin job Batman! Or maybe it was just a atrociously bad game and premise to begin with. Bionic Commando Rearmed wasn’t better simply because it was nostalgic throwback to whimsical times past, Capcom, it was just better. Don’t be afraid of 2D.
Wait, what about Bionic Commando?
Blame the audience, not yourself:
Capcom France Boss: Less Wii After Darkside Chronicles Sells Only 16k
Further expanding on this curious line of reasoning, I can only surmise that, after the colossal failure of Capcom’s Bionic Commando hardcore “re-imagining” in 2009, the publisher will no longer be selling games of any kind.
Hate being right
OK, love being right. I said Capcom was going to totally piss all over the Bionic Commando name with their 3D “hardcore gamer” update, and they did. Awful title. Indicative of how sick the industry is when it comes to innovation and bowing down to the vocal minority hardcore crowd.
Bionic Commando
Is going to be atrocious. Did Capcom lose a bet with another publisher or something?

“I think I can only get away with saying this now, but I really thought that the using the Xbox was only way to break into overseas markets, and I took that hypothesis all the way. In the end, I am very happy that I did so.” – Keiji Inafune – the creator of Mega Man, Onimusha and Dead Rising
