Capcom: Resident Evil’s primary fanbase is in its 30s and 40s
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 11 Comments
According to Capcom, Resident Evil’s “main user group” is in its late-30s to 40s. The company stated in a feature on its investor relations site that such a userbase poses a bit of a concern, as they could continue to grow older and older, eventually moving on from video games.
To remedy this, Capcom hopes to appeal to younger gamers. And so the company is collaborating with fashion magazines/brands, plus focusing on marketing/promotional activities for non-gmaers. These include a “Halloween Horror Night” event held in conjunction with Universal Studios Japan and the opening of a Resident Evil café in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Mega Man X, Mega Man: Dr. Wily’s Revenge eShop sale begins in Canada
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
A few days ago, Capcom discounted two Mega Man Virtual Console titles on the eShop in North America – well, the US that is. The sale wasn’t valid in Canada for whatever reason(s).
Interestingly though, it seems that both games – Mega Man X on Wii U and Dr. Wily’s Revenge on 3DS – have now been discounted. Each is $2 through the 24th.
No idea why the sale started in Canada a bit later, but all’s well that ends well!
