"Capcom 4 not exclusive after all....."

I feel like Capcom just sat on my face and took a bit crap in my mouth. It now turns out that the Capcom 4 (killer 7, Project 03, Dead Phoenix, Viewtiful Joe) are not actually exclusive to Cube after all.

Even though they announced they where. 'apparently' there was a mix up in translation and all along they where saying that they weren't gonna be exclusive.

*cough* bollo>< *cough*

So ummm there you have it. I suppose at leas they're being developed with the Cube in mind and we won't be getting dodgy ports....but still.

*shakes fist at Capcom*

Open up the sky let the heaven of our love shine through...

For Crying out Loud you know I love you...

God Meat Loaf is.

I will never forget the way I feel right now...

...and I would do anything for love...

...but I wont do that...

*too much Meatloaf*

Capcom are in finacial troubles. If the 5 perform well then there will be no need to port to other formats, if they sell below target and Capcom are still in trouble then ports will be on hand... so maybe the X-box will get a downgraded Dead Phonix and Killer 7 by December 2004 (in Japan) and the PS2 could get an even more downgraded P.N.03 and Viewtiful Joe by December 2004... a long while sinc the Gamecube's release.

Be that as it may, if they do go to PS2 (along with the intriguing Project Devil), that'll be five incentives gone, for potential 'Cube owners. Nintendo really need to secure these CAPCOM games somehow. As I've said, time and time again, buying out CAPCOM would be brilliant.

Ah no you see Capcom just said they weren't neccessarily exclusive games, they haven't been confirmed for other consoles but they may appear on them... there is nothing to stop them... nothing is making them exclusive.

Oh and Resident Evil 4 is still exclusive, and these are based around Gamecube hardware so it doesn't really matter... it isn't that we are getting another crappy PS2 port.

This is very annoying, but I won't be convinced until I see something rock solid (you know, hard evidence).

Hmmmmm.

Until I see a PS2 box with 'Dead Phoneix' written on it, I'm not convinced.

Unless Capcom say so.

Odd, that was announced as a translation error by the US branch of Capcom, where as Production Studio 4's official, Japanese, websites says:

"For the sound growth of the gaming industry, for Gamecube."


There is more:

Their whole, offical website, is purely devoted to the Gamecube, it just seems odd that they would say they were exclusive in the first place.

Will it perhaps be something like a 6 month exclusivity deal?

Therefore, whilst not exclusive, the cube will have the games for longer than the other systems.

Do we know if they're coming out on all systems or just one other apart from Cube...

Anyway, it doesn't hugely suprise me... I'm a little suprised, but that's business isn't it? At least we'll be getting them first... probably.
