Capcom revealed to G4TV recently that they’re revitalizing an old franchise for Microsoft’s Natal controller. While the publisher declined to give any further details, this is apparently a brand gamers haven’t seen in a while.

Capcom revealed to G4TV recently that they’re revitalizing an old franchise for Microsoft’s Natal controller. While the publisher declined to give any further details, this is apparently a brand gamers haven’t seen in a while.

This also isn’t a scheme to make some quick money, judging by the comments made by Christian Svensson, Capcom’s VP of strategic planning and business development.

“What we’re doing is creating it from the ground up for Natal, in this case,” Svensson told G4TV. “It’s created from the ground up for Natal. We’re not looking at Natal as ‘okay, here’s a little Natal gimmick that we’ve worked into some existing game.'”

“The approach is we’re gonna make a ‘gamers game’ for Natal using something amongst our brand history,” he added.

Svensson didn’t mention any target release dates, but he did emphasize that the game won’t be available at Natal’s launch. “We’re not going to be at launch, just to temper the expectations,” he said. “We’re gonna cook something and it’s gonna to take a while to cook.”
