Has anyone heard about this?

Capcom is one of my favorite publishers...
Especially old school.

That's a shame, but I can't say that I'm surprised. I haven't been excited about a Capcom title in years.  Maybe if they do get bought out they can resurrect some old projects like Mega Man Universe, also won't mind seeing another Onimusha title or Breath of Fire.

The last Breath of Fire game BOF Dragon Quarter was really awesome and I think only a few people even realized it exists.

What worries me is this. Disney buys a major company every four years (or was it two?). And sadly if Capcom is on the market when that four year mark hits....

Hahahaha but it would make it so odd :p we already got to worry about the incredible hulk meeting luke skywalker in the next version. I wonder why they don't explore more combinations... silly square enix and their unwillingness to embrace change lol

I wish they would do some awesome cross overs. Oh and I want to see some of the cooler FF characters. Give me Selphie, Zell and Irvine from FF 8, Steiner and Armant from 9, and Red 13 from 7 and I will be a happy camper :) I just want the entire FF 8 cast in general. Love that FF

It was an o.k. show but stereotypical shonen material. It was so overly manly that it was completely predictable. I prefer classy shows like Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig

 

 

Or Michiko to Hatchin

 

 

 

Those are real men's shows :p now a real man's movie is Red Line lol

For me its a tiny bit different. Mainly because I went to school for animation for a few years lol I learned the difference between adult oriented animation and regular animation :p adult animation tends to have actual plots, death, violence and it still feels cool watching them at 2 am lol

An interesting thing I read on the comments from the article, is the little bit about a western company not be able to buy a Japanese company.  If that's true we can rule out Disney coming in and gobbling Capcom up.

If I remember correctly, it depends on if that company has a presence in that country. They do what we do involving the stock market for take overs. If enough stock is bought out, then the company can be taken over. I believe Disney has a presence in Japan because of their Disney land and I am pretty sure they have stock on their market because Disney asia is run through either there or Hong Kong. Japan may have some laws in place so I can be completely wrong but I believe Disney could still buy them out if the company is run via Japan.

Eh I don't care about feeling cool. I still watch Ninja Turtles, Gargoyles and other kids shows. Most of them have a plot, some have the other elements. If I enjoy it I will watch it.

I had heard that Microsoft was circling... But I don't know if there was any validity to it.

Bigazz- that's interesting what you said about Western companies buying Japanese companies. Hasn't Microsoft expressed interest in purchasing Nintendo too?

If Capcom does get bought out, I hope that we get to see Megaman and the original Dante again. I'm with bigazzhead, I would love to see some of their old projects get resurrected. I would love to see Megaman Legends 3 make a comeback.

Hrm, I'd not heard about this. A guy I knew in grade school is the social media guy for Capcom USA (or was, last I checked anyway), so maybe I could drill him for details (or maybe not)

According to the article I guess all it means is that someone could make a majority share purchase if they wanted to ... Where as before there was a fail safe in place that prevented that from happening. Well that came up on the docket and I guess when it came to the vote the share holders decided to remove the fail safe. Now someone could stroll in and buy a 55% stake in the company if they wanted to via the market.

Or at least that's my very basic understanding...
