Through Reuters Japan, it was today revealed that development of 18 upcoming titles from Capcom has stopped as a result of the poor performance of some of its more recently released games. Coming on the heels of an announcement in which the company spoke briefly on its financial earnings for the period ending March 31st 2003, the company revealed that titles as Chaos Region and Product Number 03, as well as a host of others, didn’t sell well. Moreover, titles such titles as Devil May Cry 2, Clock Tower 3 and Resident Evil Zero fell below expected sales figures. While the format all of the would-be 18 games would appear on, it was said that ten of them would have been on the GBA platform.

If Capcom drops the other 8 from GC, it will start a chain reaction of other developers thinking their software won't sell either and pull support.

If you're talking Salma Hayeks ass, ok. I'm keeping an eye on it because the Cube has little in that category.

Nah, I'm not interested in Dead Phoenix, and I've never gotten into Resident Evil.

i dont care much for CAPCOM besides its Megaman series - although Viewtiful Joe appeals to me and Killer 7 looks promising but so did P.N. 03...
