Who would have thought history would kinda repeat with Capcom started messing up around 2011-2017 The cancellation of all their MegaMan games, the fact that they released 4 consecutive Street Fighter related games in one year which damn near oversaturated the fighting game market, lying about the capabilities of Street Fighter X Tekken on the PS3 and 360 as well as not properly marketing the game what so ever, The locked DLC, the fiasco with Resident Evil 6, closing down their Vancouver branch and of course...

I was kinda bummed when Capcom backpedalled and released RE4 on PS2 afterwards (as I had PS2 already) but REmake and Zero were still Nintendo exclusives until the remastered versions that got released few years ago.

And that series was (at the time) COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ON ALL FRONTS! I'm sorry. You DO shoot things in both games. I stand corrected... That's like making a high fantasy MMO and putting a blurb that it's from one of the minds behind Sonic the Hedgehog. GENIUS!
