So if you bought them, what would you do?

I would reboot all their 2D sidescrolling beat em ups as a pritority and pack in the arcade versions with the new games. I want some great looking Final Fight action, some Punisher arcade, Captain Commando, Aliens vs Predator... X-Men arcade... did they do that one? I'd cancel any online multiplayer focused bullshit they're doing.

Make them release a RE5 where your CPU partner was invincible or non-existent. Make RE7 like RE4. Stop making Streetfighter games, it's over at this point, no more needed for a few years.

New Ghouls n Ghost and a new Maximo game.

Many on Miiverse want Nintendo to purchase them. I agree but I would be much better if they just purchase Megaman because I think they are currently treating Megaman better than Capcom has been treating him.

I would bring back Dino Crisis and do that up like Resident Evil 4, first of all. Then, I would make Resident Evil an actual horror game again and bring back the style of REmake.

  1. I would take Resident Evil and try to turn around and sell it to Sony. I think the franchise and Sony would benefit if it was console exclusive. Maybe they could focus and find a direction for it again. Plus depending on how the movie rights work, Sony might be able to get the film license back one day too and make a couple movies with it.
  2. Take all the B franchises like Ghosts n Goblins, Bionic Commando, Strider, etc. and rotate them so that every 6 months a 2-D digital game would come out that would feature one of them. Start getting the exposure up again, and maybe build some momentum to turn them into a bigger name IP again.
  3. Deliver Mega-Man straight into Nintendo's hands.
  4. Stay the course on Street Fighter and Monster Hunter. They're doing just fine.
  5. Do whatever it takes to get the rights back and have WayForward give the Duck Tales treatment to Little Nemo the Dream Master (NES version) and Willow (the arcade version).

I would have Monster Hunter portable and home console as separate series and make it a little more user friendly. Also better for solo players with a more JRPG vibe included.

I would also get Platinum back on board as creative leads, get Mikami back.

I think this would happen instantly if they got bought by Nintendo. Wasn't half of the reason Mikami left because he wanted RE4 only on the Gamecube?

But Nintendo don't own Platinum, so they would have to buy them too?

I would bring back Power Stone. Fire everyone in management From CEO to fucking assistant to VP of marketing. Sue them if possible, just for the PR.

Re-hire Mikami (after his current game from Bethesda flops).

Re-hire Hideki Kamiya.

Re-hire Inafune and bring Mighty Number Nine in -house (while honoring all the kickstarter commitments made prior).

Call Square and offer cross-overs for the mobile space. Call Nintendo and offer to take over Zelda for *DS for free as long as they allow publishing rights on mobile for CAPCOM.

Re-hire Seth Killian for Street Fighter and let him do whatever the fuck he wants.

Call NAMCO and offer to revive the Soul Calibur series (ala SF4) (this is just for extracting money from a dieing company not for commerical success).
