Capcom's E3 Site

Capcom's E3 site is up.
http://www.capcom.com/e32003/index.html

Here are the titles they mention:
Dino Crisis 3
Resident Evil: Dead Aim
Viewtiful Joe
Chaos Legion
Mega Man Network Transmission
Mega Man Battle Network White
Mega Man Battle Network Blue
Mega Man X7
PNO3
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil Code Veronica X
Bombastic
Killer 7
Resident Evil Outbreak (working title)
Maximo vs. Army of Zin
Gotcha Force
Disney's Aladdin
Disney's Magical Quest 2 Starring Mickey and Minnie
Mega Man Zero 2
Onimusha Tactics
Onimusha 3
Onimusha Blade Warriors
Group S Challenge
Steel Battalion Online (working title)
Pro Cast Sports Fishing

They sure are milking that Resident Evil series (not my favorite, but everyone else loves it). I am happy to see that Chaos Legions is still in the list after the big financial loss.

Killer 7 looks interesting (GC again!).

Bombastic must be XI: GO. It sounds identical! But, I am glad that someone is bringing it to North America.

And, of course, Steel Battalion. :)

Disney's Aladdin? O_O

Disney's Aladdin? O_O

Highly likely it's a GBA port of the SNES game they did back in the day.

Speaking of milking franchises, they're really pushin' Mega Man this year, yet with no new original series games (all of it is spinoff mess). At least there's another Mega Man Zero coming out! I liked that game!

Speaking of milking franchises, I actually got a press release that Digital Leisure is releasing Mad Dog McCree II for PC. For PC! In 2003! I owned that game on my Sega CD ten years ago.

Here's what I don't understand about that list.

Capcom reported canning 18 titles due to financial difficulties. Well, that's a pretty exhaustive list there, what are we missing? Will we ever know?

And, how on earth did Pro Cast Sports Fishing get made? The fishing market is pretty big in Japan, but this games is out for the Xbox (which is stilll selling worse than the PSOne). How do they expect to have financial success with that one? It might not even make it to the other markets where they could make their money. Capcom is not known for its sports franchises, and I can't figure that one out at all. Maybe this one was almost complete when the financial loss was announced, so they just went with it anyway.

All the stuff they canceled was stuff we have never heard of. And believe it or not, fishing game actually sell very well. And to my knowledge there aren't many next gen fishing games. So Capcom is trying to bank on a market not many people are looking at right now, and I think it will work.
