Japanese outlet 4Gamer recently had the chance to catch up with a number of prominent staffers at Capcom, who teased the company’s plans for the future. Here’s an overview as to what was shared:

– Deep Down producer/director of the second dev. department Kazunori Sugiura said many titles were announced in 2013
– Some didn’t make it this year and will be announced in 2014
– Those will “surprise the readers a lot”
– Sugiura also encouraged fans to look forward to next year as Capcom intends to reaffirm its presence in the fighting genre
– Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara producer Kenji Kataoka says another classic from Capcom’s history will be revived by the end of 2014
– Can’t say what it’ll be yet
– Announcement about this title when it gets a bit warmer
– Shu Takumi’s new game will be announced next year
– Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies director Takeshi Yamazaki says the team is now working full force on the next title even if things are just getting started
– Unclear if Takumi and Yamazaki team are working on one or more new titles (whether they’re working on the same title or on different ones)

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.

Capcom has announced a major update coming to Monster Hunter Frontier G known as “Monster Hunter Frontier GG”. The extra “G” is for “genuine” in this case.

Among Capcom’s plans for Monster Hunter Frontier G in 2014 include the introduction of the “Tonfa” weapon type. Capcom is also introducing Felyne companions, plus some sort of mysterious tower (check out the art above).

Monster Hunter Frontier GG launches in spring.

Nintendo and Capcom have started distributing a new puzzle in the StreetPass Mii Plaza. If you own a Japanese 3DS, you’ll be able to receive a special Monster Hunter 4 panel. Hopefully we’ll eventually see it overseas!

Thanks to Jason for the tip.

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!

monster_hunter_4_one_piece_quest

Capcom will release a new One Piece collaboration quest for Monster Hunter 4 next week. Players who complete it by defeating a huge Lagombi will receive materials to construct Clima-Tact, the weapon used by Nami in One Piece as well as materials to make Kabuto, Usopp’s weapon. The DLC quest launches on December 23.


Monster Hunter Frontier G currently allows for players to dress their characters up as Dante or Lady – two characters from Devil May Cry. The crossover will be available through Christmas.

Sword users who are level seven or above can put on Dante’s costume, and gain access to the Rebellion I and Rebellion Kai I blades. Lady, a gunner, can use Jealousy I and Epidemic I.
