Capcom: More Wii titles but no mature ones

Capcom characters - Image 1It is not a surprise that developers and publishers, like videogame titles, get a following as well. This is most especially true for more established ones such as Capcom (a couple of its earlier series include Mega Man and Street Fighter).

After being in the industry for almost three decades now, the company has established something which can only be referred to as the “Capcom signature.” (More on this “signature” later.)

Anyways, Christian Svensson, Senior Director of Strategic Planning and Research for Capcom Entertainment Inc., assures fans, especially Wii users, that more titles are coming their way this year. However, he said that the titles are geared for towards younger audiences (with the exception of Resident Evil, of course). Svensson explained:

By and large, we don’t see the Wii being home to a sizable mature player base outside of some of the early adopters. We see it as being very, very broad with a family focus especially in Japan. If there is a “core player base” on Wii, within two years, it will be largely a younger player, far younger than 360 or PS3.

Well, if you ask us, it’s all right as long as these titles, be they for young or old, carry the same, exact signature we mentioned at the start of this article. As they say, good work will never go unnoticed.
