These guys are invited

Industry attention may be laser focused on PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale this afternoon, but that’s not stopping Capcom from quietly formulating some crossover plans of its own. The company has filed a patent for a game named Fighters of Capcom, which suggests that it’s looking to leverage its impressive stable of intellectual property for a brand new brawler.

Sadly, patents aren’t always indicative of actual in-development projects, so this may yet amount to nothing. Admit it, though – you’re already dreaming about pitting Power Stone’s Rouge against Sexy Silvia from Viewtiful Joe, aren't you?
