Capcom plans to revive more 'dormant' franchises after Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite
Could IPs like Mega Man and Dino Crisis receive new entries?
In a press release issued today, Capcom announced that Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite will released in late 2017 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. The game was announced this past weekend at PlayStation Experience.
The Marvel vs. Capcom franchise began in 1999. Until Infinite's unveiling, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, released in 2011 for Xbox 360 and PS3, was its most recent installment.
Capcom announced that it is "focused on reviving series that have not had new entries recently, or otherwise dormant IP. Beginning with MARVEL VS. CAPCOM: INFINITE, a return for the series following a five-year hiatus, Capcom looks to enhance its corporate value even further by utilizing its library of rich contents."
Naturally, long-time fans are wondering which of the publisher's numerous properties could be in line for an update. Mega Man and Mega Man X, Dino Crisis, Lost Planet, Onimusha, Ghosts 'N Goblins, Final Fight, and Breath of Fire are just some Capcom franchises about which fans reminisce.
Craddock's Corner: Earlier this year, I wrote a piece on Capcom franchises I'd love to see expanded. What are yours?

Raise your hand if your parents bought you Mega Man 1 or 3 (there was no 2) for DOS and your soul was crushed.

I was wondering WTF that screenshot was from. I'm so sorry you had to endure that.

Maybe, but by this time next year they'll be supporting SF5 and MvCI.

I'm very ready for Capcom to take another whack at Mega Man
-
a new well done megaman x would be pretty sick. i wonder if putting him in MvC is a good sign.
-
I took MMX's appearance in the trailer as a good sign.
-
I prefer the classic MM games. I'd like to see Capcom make one in the vein of MM9-10, but with HD rather than 8-bit-style graphics.
-
Yeah but MM's appearance in Smash Bros didn't lead to much.
Still good to hear this comment from Capcom though. -
-
Naw.
-
excuse me i dont remember awesome upgradable body parts in megaman1-10!!
-
-
Yeah, maybe if you compare Mega Man X to Mega Man 4 or something. But MMX vs MM2? Hell no.

its been long enough now. things change! its time. although it does need to be modernized a bit, maybe make it a metroidvania ppl love that these days
-
Maybe, but in that context, Mighty No. 9 crashed and burned, leaving an opening for Capcom to fill.
-
I think all he accomplished is that there are plenty of people willing to shell out serious money for a new mega man.

is to show*
