Capcom USA is hiring. Interesting to consumers? Not really. What is interesting is the reason for expanding its Product Development team. Capcom currently has fifteen projects in development (with, we're promised, more to come). With announcements from early 2007 like Rocketmen (due out this week), Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Talisman, it seems that Capcom is putting a lot of muscle behind the digital distribution channels of the PSN and Xbox Live Arcade.
Of course, Capcom is also developing full retail titles such as Dark Void and Bionic Commando. It's in this area we expect to see their title numbers being bolstered. The call for applications specifies that "Capcom is responsible for some of the most revered characters and properties in video game history and now its our turn to add to the slate by invigorating old IPs and creating wholly new ones (Don't worry, we're leaving Final Fight and Maximo in hibernation... those were the olden days...)"
So what old IPs would you love to see invigorated? What's that you say? Mega Man and Onimusha on PS3? You took the words right out of our mouths!
