Capcom has massively turned their situation around in the past fiscal year, releasing major hit games which has lead to the most successful and profitable year the company has ever had. Monster Hunter: World is still selling well, and has reached 8 million copies sold, the highest of any Capcom game ever. This is attributed to the series hitting mainstream status worldwide, allowing the game to sell well in all regions.

Capcom's sales were up by 8.4% (865 million) in the fiscal year ending in March 2018, while operating income raised 17.5% (160.6 million). This marks the fifth year in a row that Capcom has seen its profits rise, after a tumultuous 2012 and 2013 fiscal year.

Sales were also high not only in the west, but in Capcom's homeland as well, where Monster Hunter XX reached "hit" status, and sold relatively well in Japan. Capcom's CEO mentioned that the Nintendo Switch helped bring in significant sales with not only Monster Hunter XX, but Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers as well. The only disappointing game the company had was Marvel Vs Capcom: Infinite, where sales have been "soft".

Plans going forward for 2019 include focusing more on digital sales, and ensuring their games do well in physical and digital format. e-sports investments will also increase, utilizing major IPs (Street Fighter). Lastly, Capcom plans to release two "major" unannounced game titles by the end of the next fiscal year.

What do you expect Capcom's major games to be? Devil May Cry? Another Resident Evil? Do you expect to see them revealed at E3? Are you excited to see the company succeeding again?

When is Breath of Fire VI on Switch?

Capcom is pro at milking money and making me happy.

As much as I despise microtransactions I've spent more on street fighter 5 content than I paid for the base game itself.

I guess their next release will be a Resident Evil 2 remake bundled with an online mode (in the likes of Revelations 2 raid modes) filled with microtransactions.

And a new megaman of course.

Dreaming is free but I wish they announced a new Breath of Fire too.

I'd like to see the AA trilogy remade but with 3D enviroments and models

Eh i feel both have their cons and pros. I feel the models at times from 5 and 6 felt off. While some models especially in the trilogy needed rework(looking at you franziska and your whip)

Dragons dogma 2!!

When is Breath of Fire VI on Switch?

Eww, why? It's easily the worst in the franchise. Port over III and IV instead.

 

[Condarkness_XY]

Weren't they looking at bankruptcy a few years ago?? I'm having trouble taking them seriously after Keiji Inefune left.

 

[Glyptofane]

Eww, why? It's easily the worst in the franchise. Port over III and IV instead.

Oh god, sorry, I didn't realize it already existed and that's what it is.

So I guess I meant BoFVII.

Not happening I'm afraid, I'd rather just have ports of the first four games TBH.

They better release another resident evil game and it better be on the switch!!! I don’t care if it’s a remake or a new one. It must come out on the switch. I want my Jill valentine!,!!!

Please be a Resident Evil 2 remake. Or Revelations 3. Or another third person RE game set in the main timeline.

More Ace Attorney games would ve appreciated, but in a traditional setting. I get that Capcom thinks that Phoenix is too skilled of an attorney to represent people in regular trials, but I'd rather we get that than something like the Kurain Kingdom or other really mystical stuff. Just having psyche locks and spirit mediums was enough fantasy for me.

Resident evil 2 remake... Pleaseeeee

Good to make more money... spliting Mega Man complilation on Switch and cashing 100$ for limited old games. F#CK them!
