CAPTIVATE09 takes place in Monte Carlo, new game announcements imminent
In an effort to reach out to its fans in the Western European version of CAPTIVATE08's setting, Capcom announced details (via Capcom-Unity) this week about its "totally not a gamer's day" event, unironically titled CAPTIVATE09. Taking place in Monte Carlo, Monaco, the company says it's announcing "new games" at the event (emphasis on the "s" at the end there) -- an especially interesting statement to make considering Capcom's Chris Kramer said this week on the Giant Bombcast, "We are announcing at least two titles at E3." How many games are in development at Capcom right now that we don't know about?!
Other items of note are new looks at Spyborgs (the "actually a game" game for Wii) and Resident Evil The Darkside Chronicles. If you're one of the lucky few already chosen from the Capcommunity (see what we did there?) to attend, make sure to bring your jewel-encrusted Wiimote and blood-spattered Tricell messenger bag, so you don't look out of place. And send us tips!

Please let it be Mega Man 10.
sony boy @ Apr 11th 2009 9:38PM
mega man 10, resident evil for psp, and the DMC for psp. Seirously, didn't they announce DMC like since the psp's launch?

they said they would do resident evil for PSP if that one petition got enough signatures and it went WAY beyond what they said they needed. they're liars if they don't release that eventually.

RE controls bad enough on consoles. No thank you to a psp version.
Kool_Kid_Joe @ Apr 11th 2009 9:52PM
Ace Attorney?
Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 11th 2009 9:57PM
monster hunter for PS3 please. doesn't have to be monster hunter 3, a port of monster hunter portable 2nd g would be just as great. or... mega man 9 for psp? plz?
Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 11th 2009 9:58PM
and i know it's about new games, but maybe resident evil 1 on the PS store?
Markez @ Apr 11th 2009 10:41PM
Ultra Puzzle Fighter III Extreme Turbo, seriously I hope they do an all new version of that game some day. New IP is great and all, but if done right I think Capcom already as enough goodness under their belt to just 'redo' a classic.

i've never been that into puzzle games, but i don't say no to good new games!

Strider 3. It can be a DMC ripoff for all I care.
Hyams @ Apr 11th 2009 10:04PM
Devil May Cry 5 seems like an obvious one.
weirdestchild @ Apr 11th 2009 10:34PM
I'm hoping for Megaman X9, going back to SNES graphics and Original Megaman X gameplay...... for Wiiware/PSN/XBLA of course.
Rollins @ Apr 12th 2009 1:20AM
Ditto. Would definitely make my day/week/month/year.
Mr Khan @ Apr 11th 2009 10:48PM
I'm excited to see what they've done with Spyborgs, myself. I also hope for a progress report on Tatsunoko vs Capcom.
Jacksons @ Apr 12th 2009 10:46AM
Yeah, me too. All I've seen pertaining to Spyborgs are a few early shots. Not nearly enough to go on.

"Other items of note are new looks at Spyborgs (the "actually a game" game for Wii)"
Oh Ben, don't encourage this shit.

"Most of the stuff on the Wii is ports or micro-game stuff and I think most gamers are getting pretty sick of it. I don't want to mince words: We actually wanted to make a game." -Bionic Games designer Mike Stout, on Spyborgs.
If you clicked through to the link I provided with those quoted words (emphasis on quote), you'd know I was just providing context to what Spyborgs was since we haven't heard anything about it in a year and not "trying to encourage" anything. Honestly, Spyborgs could be really great! :)

Well... the Wii doesn't have too many games that aren't:
Minigame Collections,
Fitness games,
movie based games,
crappy ports,
or games that are decently executed.
Before you jump on me for bashing, i played Mad World and No More Heroes. THOSE were good games, and hopefully there are more like it coming.
ps360owner @ Apr 12th 2009 2:33AM
new resident evil but this time you have to buy the game then wait 2 weeks then download the unlock code for single player.you heard it here first!!!

Shows how in touch Capcom are with the regular gamer when they hold a Fan Day in one of the most exclusive and expensive cities on earth. Even the French hate Monte Carlo, for all it represents: tax avoidance, avarice, a disregard for the regular human condition. And Capcom decides it's a great idea to hold a day in this cesspool of stolen money? Then again, judging from the likes of RE5 it's not like the company to actually listen to its fans and take on-board criticism. They're well too aloof to hear our voices, and announcing a Fan Day in Monte Carlo is testament to that.
We're the ant to their Versace mukluk.
Jacksons @ Apr 12th 2009 10:49AM
Monte Carlo? All that nickel and diming must be working, eh?
Cerpin Taxt @ Apr 12th 2009 2:56PM
Street Fighter VS. Viewtiful Joe.
Poddie @ Apr 12th 2009 3:31PM
Call me crazy (and I'm sure some will), but I'd love to see a port of RE4 to the 360 with upgraded textures, control scheme D, and higher resolution. Shouldn't be too hard, right? I'd gladly pay $60, but $40 would be a lot better idea for them...
Other games that would be great:
Strider
DMC5
Marvel vs Capcom
Moptimus Slime (Gobot in disguise) @ Apr 12th 2009 10:07PM
CAPCOM already did that: Its called Resident Evil 5
Poddie @ Apr 13th 2009 3:31AM
Nope. Different story, different characters, different weapons, different locations, etc. Nice try though.
Don't get all the jerks that think taking a nearly perfect game and upgrading to two player co-op and HD graphics means the new game is bad. But hey... you all are welcome to your (incorrect) opinions.
Ahmedz @ Apr 12th 2009 3:01PM
no one mentioned Megaman Legends 3 :(
