Why did Resident Evil replace Mega Man as Capcom's

>>379170690
Mega Man games have never sold amazingly compared to other Capcom stuff.

>>379170690
megaman needs to be open world.

>>379170690
Zombies have a wider appeal and more staying power than cartoon robots. Sad but true.

>>379170690
MM had been rehashed to death by the time RE arrived, and its more realistic, US-located setting had more market appeal.

Isn't that Street Fighter?

>>379172038
Street Fighter is dead after V's fuckup.

Because keiji inafune brought great shame to Capcom and every other classic Japanese publisher.

And because their sales trailed off. Megamanzx series didn't sell so we'll and StarForce didn't either. Compared to previous entries anyway

Development costs kept growing over the years, and Mega Man stayed a niche franchise. Battle Network was the last time it showed any significant profit, and those games were Mega Man in name only.
