"CAPCOM buy out? Not quite..."

A week or so back, there were rumours all over the place regarding this MEGATON announcement (which we are STILL yet to hear about). Well, one of them was a CAPCOM buy out which looked very tasty and likely indeed, what with the recent Resident Evil series.

However, with most rumours, this wasn't one-hundred-percent true, though there's some good in it. You see, Shinji Mikami heads CAPCOM's Production Studio Four, and is acclaimed for his Resident Evil and Devil May Cry series. He's also just announced five exclusives for the GameCube:

Resident Evil 4
Killer 7
Viewtiful Joe
Dead Phoenix
Product Number 03

But you already know that, or you SHOULD, at least (if not, see Whitestripes), so where's this news? Well, the beauty of it all lies in the fact that Shinji Mikami has now announced that CAPCOM's Production Studio Four will only work on GameCube games from now on.

Isn't that great? Five new exclusives (not to mention Project Devil, and the rest of the Resident Evil series) from a division of CAPCOM, now confirmed to work only for Nintendo's great machine.

You gotta give them some more time. They will produce the goods.

Capcom are far better then SEGA.

If you ask me SEGA have been turning out a right load of crap since they went downhill.

It's one of the best online games because it's one of the only online games available from a console.

Mario Kart Online?

Cept MARIO KART!! RAAA!!!!!!

Phantasy Star Online is the best Online game ever made and that will probably stay like that for a while so I think Capcom and Sega are head to head.

They're both good but Sega just beats CAPCPOM by an inch.

Well, I'd prefer them both, but SEGA's my no. 1
