Capcom, lazy or annoying

I might have been a bit slow to this one but it really seems like Capcom have a recent habit of not being bothered to do some things.

First it came to my attention when I heard that Megaman Legends for 3DS won't be released

Second when I learnt that they have now decided to scrap DLC for Mavel Vs Capcom 3 and instead do a Street Fighter Style Re release edition which will be the only way fans can play as the 15 new characters.

Third the global release for the fan service game "Ace Attorney Vs Proffesor Layton" will be left to Level 5 with Capcom in a interview basically saying along the lines that they couldn't be bothered doing it.

and forth I read that the finale to the Ace Attorney games won't be getting a global release either.

So I'm just wondering if there are anymore examples of dickery from Capcom literrally, what y'all think of it and are they justified with the fact that it costs money to globalize titles that where once region specific.


I really can't see the point of it, I'm not sure of Capcoms current finacial situations but it's not as though they wouldn't make money from doing the DLC or the games.

Devil May Cry 5 would be a good example.

I don't play much for fighting games, but it pisses me off when they re-release a game with new characters and expect fans to pay another 40 bucks for it, just put the characters in the main game and stop being dicks, were not all made of money here

The whole Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 doesn't surprise me ...Capcom has been doing this kinda stuff since Street Figther 2 besides additional character(s) DLC is usually overprice plus a rip off which totally sucks.

Well "word of God" states that 5 is going to be a prequel showing how Dante went from the kid we see to the man in the past games.

Although DMC could be put on here with an annoying timeline (which goes: 5,3,1,4,2.....I think)


I mainly just don't think it's fair for them to build up the hype of MvC3, actually confirm (at the time) DLC characters for the game and then only releasing two and going "f*ck it, may as well add the other 15 on a repackage".

I suppose the benefit is that some assumed "cheap" characters are going to be tweaked but it is still kind of a cock tease and not really a way to treat fans.

Still it's not as bad as what they are doing to the fans of their mascot, who is not only not getting a new Legends game (to which they have stated was the fan bases own fault for not supporting it enough) but a leaked list of characters for the reboot MvC3 doesn't list Megaman as one of the fighters. (if anyone is interested I'll hunt around for the list) Which if anyone who has read a few of the complaints about MvC3 will know that the lack of Megaman was one of the biggest complaints (which now begs the question are Capcom tired of their mascot or are they just trolling their fans)
