E3 2018: Capcom Bringing Mega Man, Street Fighter to Show Floor

Dante's inferno

by Sammy Barker Thu 7th Jun 2018

Capcom’s announced its lineup of playable E3 2018 games, and it’s more or less what you’d expect from the publisher. Perhaps more than anyone, it’s the Blue Bomber that’s headlining the showfloor for the firm, which is a sentence we never thought we’d write given all of the hullabaloo with Mighty No. 9. But yes, both Mega Man 11 and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 and 2 will be playable on the PlayStation 4.

The company will also be introducing attendees to Metro City’s new mayor, as former jailbird Cody punches his way into Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. Of course, there could still be surprises to come from the company: Devil May Cry 5 is strongly rumoured to be making an appearance in some form, and there are those Deep Down trademark renewals to keep in the back of your mind. All will be revealed over the coming days.

@adf86 Unless you count physical releases in Europe as one of those...

@knuckles-fajita What you referring too? I know they've been slow on releasing a Monster Hunter for the Switch in the West, is it that?
For me I've been looking at things like the Street Fighter collection , Resi's return to form, remasters for DMC and Okami and Monster Hunter World finding a big western audience as reasons for been positive but their very capable of slipping up again.

@get2sammyb Capcom needed Mighty Number Nine to fail. Everyone thought that Inafune was the driving force behind Mega Man and Capcom knew. Now that Inafune has been exposed we now have a proper Mega Man.
