If Disney buys them then that means the next Kingdom Hearts game will star Darth Vader, Spider-man and Megaman?

Not entirely. They're still making "Disney and Marvel Present Marvel's Super Heroes in Disney Infinity Featuring Marvel (The 2.0 Edition of Disney's Disney Infinity)" so they still have some interest, clearly.

All I really care about is Mega Man. Maybe Nintendo will pick him up since he's a big part of the reason people are excited about Smash 4.

P3rd was on the PSP and I think there's an HD version coming for the Vita. I think...
That idea's long since died. After the HD release and the digital thing that Japanese consumers could get, there wasn't any news of a Vita P3rd port. Then 3U/3G and all its stuff happened, now MH4 and MH4G are going on, so that's pretty much gone. I think there's maybe Frontier for Vita? But Frontier is pretty much its own entity.

Capcom's not gonna auction off their IPs anytime soon by the way. It just means that if someone was so inclined they could purchase 51% of their stock!

Plus, it's not like someone could automatically do it without jumping through a few hoops:

quote:

Despite of non-approval of Renewal of Takeover Defense at the 35th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, Capcom will continue to focus on further preserving and enhancing corporate value and common interests of its shareholders. If there is any large-scale purchaser of Capcom stock, we will react to make necessary measures within the admissible limits of applicable laws and regulations. In addition, we will react to take steps to ensure disclosure of the position of the board of directors and other information and that there is sufficient time for shareholders to examine the proposed large-scale purchase and reach a decision.

Due to cutbacks Street Fighter 5 will only feature 6 characters. Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Sakura, Dan and Sean from 3rd Strike. A Killer Instinct style season will be implimented in which characters like Evil Ryu and Oni will be added.

Honestly I would not be surprised if something like Xbone KI happened with the next Street Fighter. FTP, with Ryu as the free char.

Will Capcom become the next THQ and just be ripped apart by the mob in an IP firesale? Microsoft only gets Dead Rising (to make sure DR3 never goes to the PS4) while Sony, EA, Ubisoft, Activision and Nintendo divide the spoils.

Dead Rising 3 ends the plot pretty well I'd say. No real need for a DR4 after it, or really no real way to make one.

It'll still make money in Japan by itself like it always did. Yes though, bringing the games to the west will make them more of the dollar bills.

Who says Dead Rising needs to have a plot? Just make it like Off the Record's sandbox mode where the plot is just "Hey Frank/Chuck/Nick, here's a whole city of zombies. Have at it."

I know you need the meat, girl, but damn.
I would hope Nintendo would try to keep Monster Hunter coming out on the 3DS. Even though it has a smaller fanbase in the West, the game is one of the only on 3DS (that I've seen) that has a very large amount of playtime with decent online as well (MH4 and on). I feel the 3DS is lacking in games of that sort.

Nope, THQ was hosed financially for years before they had their fire sale last year. Capcom is doing fine right now, they still have IPs that sell and what's really happening is whoever buys majority stock becomes a big player in the shareholder meetings (in addition to giving Capcom a capital infusion).

Apparantly THQ just sold their very soul to the dudes who bought most of their IPs out.

Welcome to THQ 2.0


So basically whoever buys Capcom, then becomes Capcom.

That stuff is crazy to me because financial information for publicly traded companies is freely available! It's insanely easy to get the facts directly from the source.

Gotta get those pageviews I guess.
