Capcom is the developer and publisher behind such series as Street Fighter, Mega Man and Resident Evil. | |||
Founded in 1983, Capcom soon rose to become one of the most prolific makers of games in the industry. Starting in 1985, they began releasing games for the [[NES]], including such classics as [[1942]], [[Ghosts'n Goblins]], [[Bionic Commando]], and, most notably, the [[Mega Man]] series, which proved to be Capcom's first major franchise. Later, during the fourth generation of games, Capcom became better known for their [[Street Fighter]] series of fighting games, which revolutionized the genre thanks to the use of diverse rosters of characters, each with their own unique move-sets. In 1996, the [[Resident Evil]] franchise joined Capcom's ever-growing list of major IP's, bringing the horror-survival genre to the masses. | |||
In the twenty-first century, Capcom has split its attention on old and new series. Popular newer series have included [[Devil May Cry]], [[Ace Attorney]], and [[Monster Hunter]]. | |||
