Capcom, one of the most influential publishers and developers in the video game industry, has reaffirmed its commitment to bolstering its most beloved franchises—including Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney—through a new wave of releases, remakes, and ports targeting emerging platforms such as the Nintendo Switch and its eagerly awaited successor, the Switch 2.
This announcement comes directly from Capcom's latest corporate report, where the company outlined a clear strategy to leverage its extensive library of globally recognized IP to drive future growth and deepen its connection with fans. The Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney series each have storied histories and devoted followings worldwide.
Mega Man, which debuted in 1987, has amassed over 38 million copies sold as of March 2024 through dozens of games.
Devil May Cry, Capcom’s influential action series launched in 2001, recently celebrated surpassing 30 million lifetime unit sales.
Ace Attorney, the courtroom drama adventure series introduced in 2001, enjoys particular popularity on Nintendo handhelds and has consistently performed well on the Nintendo eShop. In a clear signal to retailers, investors, and fans, Capcom’s report stated that the company “owns a wealth of globally popular brands, such as Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney” and is dedicated to increasing its audience and improving financial performance via new releases, remakes, and ports to new hardware.
The report further outlined a goal of strengthening these brands’ appeal and cultivating dedicated fan bases in order to make them mainstay properties within Capcom’s portfolio. Capcom’s commitment to supporting new hardware is particularly noteworthy as the industry anticipates news about the Nintendo Switch 2.
The original Nintendo Switch, which has sold over 130 million units worldwide by June 2024, remains a prime platform for Capcom’s games.
Notably, recent years have seen a surge in classic Capcom titles, including Mega Man Legacy Collections and the Ace Attorney Trilogy, making significant impacts on the Nintendo eShop and earning positive reception from both longtime and new players. By focusing on global franchise expansion and leveraging new platforms such as the Nintendo Switch 2, Capcom is positioning itself to both capitalize on nostalgia and reach new audiences.
This multifaceted approach ensures that iconic brands like Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney will remain relevant, vibrant, and central to Capcom’s future business strategies.
Fans can look forward to more announcements through official channels such as Nintendo Direct and Capcom’s dedicated showcases in the coming months.
