"18 Capcom games canned for Gamecube!"

That's right, Capcom have canned 18 titles becasue of poor sales figures in Japan. I just got this from Cube-Europe and I am hoping it's not Biohazard 4.

I hope that doesn't include Killer7, that game looked amazing :o

Viewtiful Joe can go and fester in a big pit of smell though

"Disappointing news for GameCube and Game Boy Advance owners as Capcom halt the development of 18 of it's titles.

The unfortunate news that Capcom has canned 18 of it's titles was released today by Reuters Japan, due to poor performance by it's newly released titles. New titles such as P.N.03, Chaos Region, as well as many others, haven’t sold well, and big hitters such as Resident Evil Zero and Devil May Cry 2 fell way below their predicted sales figures. It is unclear which of Capcom’s titles development has been halted at the moment, but it was said that 10 of the titles were for the Game Boy Advance."

If its not Viewtiful Joe or Killer 7, i'm not really that bothered.

Are they made, 10 games for the GBA?

The GBA sells shed loads!!
If they're getting dissapointing sales figures on the biggest selling console ever, then it's because the games are crap and nothing else.

mad*

Choas Region?
I think they may mean Choas Legion which is due on PS2 also. And looked pretty tasty. Hopefully it'll still be released on PS2.

"Resident Evil Zero and Devil May Cry 2 fell way below their predicted sales figures."

Since when was DMC2 on the GC? Or they sayin' cos they released a game on the PS2 and it did p00, they ain't gonna release games on the Cube?

grrr-argh

Wait.

I don't think "the big 5" have been canned.

They're still in capcoms E3 lineup.

You know if Capcom are having money troubles, the logical solution would be to release all of their games across all formats. Releasing Devil May Cry 1/2 on the XBox and GC would make them a tidy little profit, as would Resi, Dino Crisis etc.

Personally, I couldn't care less. There ain't many Capcom games I'm after.

However, it would benefit me as a Nintendo fan for Capcom to continue to show their support for Nintendo, as the game's library would increase and would be a plus for anyone interested in Nintendo consoles.
