Capcom all the way, and I can't believe I'm the only one who voted for them! They created Mega Man (the greatest game series and character of all time) and Street Fighter for crying out loud! They also made classics like these:

1942
Commando
Ghosts N Goblins
Gun.Smoke
Section Z
Trojan
Side Arms
1943:The Battle of Midway
Black Tiger
Forgotten Worlds
Strider
Area 88
Final Fight
Captain Commando
Resident Evil

and so many others!!!

And they also made a series of games based on Disney cartoons in the late 80's and early 90's which kicked major ass!

Dragon's Lair appreciation. Again.

Damn, those are some good games.   I had a good time just about every single game up on that list.

Capcom recently took some heat from some folks in here.  I still personally still don't see why - they definitely cranked out one solid game after another. 

Only negative I see about them was they sorta got complacent during periods of time where they chucked out pretty much the same games with minor upgrades.  Can't completely fault them - they are a business that needs to turn a profit, after all.

Yeah but making like five versions of Street Fighter II and porting it dozens of consoles is just a bit more than needing to make a profit ;) .

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Dude, forget about the topic at hand: I love the fact that you have MotoRoaderLove! Awesome! I can't remember, but I thought there was another MotoRoaderGal with brown hair...

And the music in the game is swell as well!  :)

I know isn't it awesome :D ? The best part is that he's new to the Turbo! Looks like we're not the only ones with love for Moto Roader anymore!

Wow, thanks guys. I feel special to this place. BTW, I never said I was new to the Turbo. I said that the Wii Virtual Console made me realize what a great system it was.

I don't over look capcom either.

So many great games that they made over the years.

Of corse i just voted for konami since.. it's been my current fav as of late.

 :lol: 5 versions?  You're being too generous.   Seriously though, SF2CE was enough, after that, it was just needless.

But I can always appreciate games being available for multiple consoles.  It's nice to have a choice.

SF2 Movie.  Now that's a travesty if anything.

Talking about whoring, EA and all their sports franchises, holy faack!

I agree. Even though I liked the other versions, I don't think any game should really have more than one update and CE was a nice update since you could play as your favorite villian.

Actually I enjoyed the one for Saturn. It was pretty much like the original SFII in gameplay (not quite as smooth), but just with a mega dose of cheese and as we all know, I like cheese  8) . I have only played the arcade game briefly though, so I can't really comment on that.

Mega Man is worse. Nah, not really - but it is bad. Mega Man ZX 2 is coming out soon (the first one came out like a couple of months ago it seems). Can you believe it? :P

Mega Man was milked really bad too, but I still have to get it to Street Fighter II :D . I don't know much about the Resident Evil series, but from what I know that game got a lot of versions too I think.

Yeah, they've already released a PC version of RE4. That's three. For a game that was supposed to be GC-exclusive. I wonder when the X0 version's coming out. :roll:

Didn't they do the same thing with Viewtiful Joe (minus a PC port)? It was a Gamecube exclusive for awhile and then it was later made for PS2, but was it ported to anything else after that?

I dont see what you guys have against more people being able to play Resident Evil 4, especially when Capcom uses the money from ports like that to fund original stuff like Okami & Lost Planet.  Nintendo does the exact same shit (only 10x worse) yet all you guys love them and can't wait to spend your money on the 45th re-release of some f*cktarded old nes game.
