Capcom - Image 1Must have been a holiday celebrating some odd conquest by Mega Man. Anyway, we were fishing through web forums, and happened upon the Capcom BBS. Here, Sr. Director of Strategic Planning and Research Christian Svensson confirms that this year's Capcom Day is on April 12.

That's not the only thing. Someone on the BBS inquired if Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Xbox 360) and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles would feature in this Capcom Day. Well, Svensson took the standard press Mega Blaster to the question by neither confirming nor denying:

You may be slightly pleased and slightly disappointed then. I also suspect something not within either one of those parameters to be announced that will excite you though.


Well, he is "The official 'I wish I could tell you more, but then I'd have to kill you (TM)' guy" on the BBS. Let's break down his answer shall we?
  • "You may be slightly pleased and slightly disappointed..." - meaning that there will be something either RE5 or Umbrella-related. Coin toss says it's probably Umbrella, since it's been in the pipeline longer, but no one wants to count RE5 out.
  • "also suspect something not within either one of those parameters..." - so it's not either RE5 or Umbrella-related? There was that news bit about Capcom announcing more Wii titles soon. So, which Capcom IP would it be, if not an entirely new one?
    • On the other hand, does it have to be just the Wii? Svensson didn't mention any specifics.
Can't we just hog-tie the guy and feed him truth serum through a nasal tube, maybe he'll finally spill something?

Anyone who want's to b**ch about this is a true fanboy. It's not like Capcom took DMC 4 from the PS3 to put it on the 360. BOTH systems have it now.

Stop being such a little girl.

 » naw, probably not

They didn't choose to bid on Take 2 because they felt it wouldn't be a lucrative investment, so they probably wouldn't go for Capcom either.
