May 22, 2009 - Capcom is feeling bullish about the iPhone. The gaming giant recently released Resident Evil: Degeneration on the App Store, joining a port of the classic Mega Man and a handful of additional titles. It will not stop there. Speaking at the Reuters Global Technology Summit in Tokyo, Capcom CFO Kazuhiko Abe revealed plans to release no fewer than 10 iPhone games before next March.

Will the games be extensions of Capcom's existing franchises, such as Street Fighter and Lost Planet? Or could Capcom instead use the relatively low costs of creating iPhone games to try out new ideas and characters before graduating them to consoles? Look for news out of Capcom at next month's E3 conference in Los Angeles, right here on IGN Wireless. It'd be hilarious if a Devil May Cry port hit the iPhone before the PSP after all those old years of hype. And funny that it might run into or trail Vampire Origins.

Capcom would seriously have to step their game up though, their Megaman port was atrocious. Haven't gotten around to playing RE Degeneration yet to see how it is.

Capcom vs marvel please haha! I loved that game :p

[Forerunnerz]

I'm dieng for a good Devil May Cry game for the iPhone. The first and only DMC game I played and finished was DMC4 and it was amazing!

Please give me Powerstone 2, best Capcom game ever! Plus i think it would work out perfectly on the iphone...

+ 18,000,000,000

I haven't played powerstone in ages. =(

[Vester]

i like street fighter 4, i dont think that will come but maybe an older version of Street fighter, that would be great!

[robertf224]

Street fighter would be awesome. I posted an idea for a control scheme a couple days ago on the upcoming games thread i think the thread was your game here

[Hafiz]

monster hunter would be great but actually impossible for an iphone

I will probably be disappointed, but I'd love to see ports of Breath of Fire and Ace Attorney series, as well as full-length ports of early, more adventure-oriented Resident Evils.

All this other action-platformer stuff won't work too well on the platform, IMHO.

From IGN's article: "Or could Capcom instead use the relatively low costs of creating iPhone games to try out new ideas and characters before graduating them to consoles?". Thats an interesting idea: use the iPhone as a cheap, low-cost testing ground for unique/new ideas that, if successful could be then developed into console games. :cool:

Its much more likely they'll bring existing franchises over, so i'd love to see versions of:

Zack & Wiki - would be perfect for iPhone's touch screen...
Resident Evil 1, 2 & 3 ports - either d-pad or accelerometer control of character.
Devil May Cry - port the original!
Onimusha
Street Fighter 2
Final Fight (2.5D remake, sorta like Kroll, but better) :D

[AwakenOsiris]

no more ports Capcom, bring something original to the iphone.

I doubt that they will create new stuff specifically for iPhone. The only "original" content you might see is a new game based on an existing franchise (i.e. a new Resident Evil game, designed specifically for iPhone).

Ports and/or remakes are much more likely though.

[Isilel]

no more ports Capcom, bring something original to the iphone.

The original stuff is bound to be much shorter and shallower than ports of full-length games from other platforms.

Of course, I have it easy - I never played any Capcom games and would love to sample some classics. Not the action-platformers and beat-them ups though, but more story-oriented stuff.

monster hunter would be great but actually impossible for an iphone
Finally, another Monster hunter fan :P
It would be impossible, too many buttons :P Monster hunter is the olny reason I use my psp still

[LBG]

Anyone else want a MotoGP? or is it just me :(

[MyLilPWNY]

it would be soooo stupid if they tried to bring monster hunter to the iphone im not saying the game is bad the monster hunter games are some of my favourite im just saying there would be too many buttons on screen

[Hafiz]

you´re right,too many buttons and they can´t make it as big as the psp version
im happy they´ll release monster hunter freedom unite for psp in june
then i´ll only play it and nothing else:D

[FinalGamerAC]

Anyone else want a MotoGP? or is it just me :(

its just you lol

honestly id like a street fighter remix and some megaman games(like megaman legends 2 anyone), a Devil May Cry port would be awesome or even a spin off or something
megaman x ect ect
megaman zero games from the gba? im down with that
breath of fire
so many possible ideas
oh capcom dont fail me

[AaronAMV]

This... This would be cool :o

[Psytic]

i agree on breath of fire they could do the whole series on iphone except for dragon quarter most likely. every one loves zenonia theres alot more room for jrpgs on the iphone

[iGame]

Welcome to the Power Stone world.

[GodSon]

Anyone else want a MotoGP? or is it just me :(

No it's not just you. as a Moto Rider myself i do want to see this. Okami, MHF i think is highly improbable and wouldn't want Capcom to butcher the experience. There are others as well... :D

[SparkyBlue]

I'm just going to throw this in here but I think that the Ace Attorney games would be great on the iPod. I love the Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice games and would love to see a new or ported iPod version.

[lcwz]

I believe one of these games will be the official appstore version of KenKen, an increasingly popular sudoku-like puzzle.

iSteel Battalion would be keen.

Of course, you'd have to network 10 iPhones together to play it, but a man can dream.... :P

[Boardumb]

Please give me Powerstone 2, best Capcom game ever! Plus i think it would work out perfectly on the iphone...

Well, not to ya know, BRAG or anything ;) but I still have both on my Dreamcast. Fantastic games, BTW, one of the best party games ever made. More fun that Smash Bros IMHO. Seems like somebody could figure out a proper way to put them on the iDevices (with online play FTW!). If not, well, I have been thinking about putting the old Dreamcast up for sale...

[Rasterico]

My vote would be for a Ghosts 'N' Goblins/Ghouls 'N' Ghosts port that would be awesome!

[SparkyBlue]

I'd like a 2.5D version of Dead Rising. It would be great to just bring out when bored. Slash up a few zombies
