10 Forgotten Capcom Games That Deserve A Remake

Hidden Capcom gems like Viewtiful Joe and Darkstalkers deserve to get the remake treatment.

According to Capcom, the four games to be featured are: Onimusha Way of the Sword, Capcom Fighting Collection 2, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classic, and Monster Hunter Wilds.

While there is a chance that a surprise reveal or announcement is part of the show, it’s not usually Capcom’s style. So for those expecting Resident Evil 9 to be shown off, I wouldn’t bet on it, though I would love to be wrong.

Expect the show to last 35 minutes, which means we’ll be treated to a bunch of gameplay trailers and maybe even a developer feature or two.

Capcom Is Looking To Bring Back More Dormant IPs

Good news for nostalgics amid a concerning trend in game dev.

What’s surprising here is the inclusion of Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The latest entry in the action franchise was revealed at The Game Awards, but has no release date set yet. It’s surprising Capcom is ready to showcase more of it, which must mean it’s further along in development than expected.

Again, Capcom has not hinted of any surprises, so temper those expectations, people. With Monster Hunter Wilds set to have another beta test this February, expect Capcom to talk more about that in the stream given the beta launches on February 6.

Expect DualShockers to cover any pertinent news from the show.
