'''Capcom Co., Ltd.'''(株式会社カプコン) is a leading Japanese international developer and publisher of video games headquartered in [[Wikipedia:Osaka|Osaka]], [[Wikipedia:Japan|Japan]]. It was founded in 1979 as '''Japan Capsule Computers''', a company devoted to the manufacturing and distribution of electronic game machines.

==History==
−
According to Capcom (カプコン), the name "CAPCOM" is an abbreviation of CAPsule COMputer. This was a phrase symbolic of an internal company objective to create a new gaming experience that would exceed that of rival personal computers, which had also been increasing in popularity during the same period. The word capsule alludes to how Capcom likened its game software to "a capsule packed to the brim with gaming fun", as well as to the company's desire to protect its intellectual property with a hard outer shell, preventing illegal copies and inferior imitations.
  
  +
Capcom's predecessor, I.R.M Corporation, was founded on May 30, 1979<ref name="ign25th">http://pc.ign.com/articles/881/881137p1.html</ref> by [[Kenzo Tsujimoto]]. Tsujimoto was still president of [[wikipedia:Irem|Irem Corporation]] when he founded I.R.M. Tsujimoto worked concomitantly in both companies until leaving the former in 1983.
   
  +
The original companies that spawned Capcom's Japanese branch were I.R.M as well as its subsidiary Japan Capsule Computers Co., Ltd., both of which were devoted to the manufacturing and distribution of electronic game machines.<ref name="history" /> The two companies underwent a name change to Sambi Co., Ltd. in September 1981,<ref name="history" /> while Capcom Co., Ltd. was first established on June 11, 1983 by Kenzo Tsujimoto,<ref name="ign25th" /> for the purpose of taking over the internal sales department.<ref>http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/company/history.html</ref>
−
Over the years, Capcom has created some of the biggest and longest running franchises in video gaming history since starting out in 1979. The company released their first arcade game in 1984, ''[[Vulgus]]''. Their early games were mostly arcade games such as the scrolling shooter ''[[1942]]''.
  
   
  +
In January 1989, the old affiliate company Capcom Co., Ltd. merged with Sambi Co., Ltd., resulting in the current Japanese branch.<ref name="history" /> The name Capcom is a clipped compound of "'''Cap'''sule '''Com'''puters", a term coined by the company to describe the arcade machines it solely manufactured in its early years, designed to set themselves apart from personal computers that were becoming widespread at that time.<ref name="name">http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/company/name.html</ref> The word capsule alludes to how Capcom likened its game software to "a capsule packed to the brim with gaming fun", as well as to the company's desire to protect its intellectual property with a hard outer shell, preventing illegal copies and inferior imitations.<ref name="name" />
−
In the late 1980s, Yoshiki Okamoto joined the company from '''Konami'''. In 1987, Capcom released the game ''[[Street Fighter]]''. Also in 1987, the company released the platformer ''[[Mega Man]]'' (''Rockman'' in Japan) for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
  
   
  +
While Capcom's first product was the coin-operated ''[[Little League]]'' from July 1983, its first real video game, the arcade title ''[[Vulgus]]'', was released in May 1984.<ref name="history" /> Beginning with a Nintendo Entertainment System port of ''[[1942]]'' published in December 1985, the company started to venture into the market of home console video games,<ref name="history" /> which became its main business segment a few years later.<ref name="businesssegments" /> Its division Capcom USA had a brief stint in the late 1980s as a video game publisher for the Commodore 64 and IBM PC DOS computers although the development of these arcade ports were handled by other companies. Capcom has to date created 15 multi-million-selling game series, the most successful of which is ''[[Resident Evil (series)|Resident Evil]]''.<ref name="salesdata">https://web.archive.org/web/20140327174103/http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/business/salesdata.html</ref>

''[[Final Fight]]'', a beat 'em up, was released in 1989. In 1991, Okamoto's ''[[Street Fighter II]]'' was released in the arcades.
  
   
  +
Capcom has been noted as the last major publisher to be committed to 2D games, though this was not entirely by choice. The company's commitment to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as its platform of choice caused them to lag behind other leading publishers in developing 3D-capable arcade boards.<ref name="NGen17">cite magazine|title=Capcom |magazine=[[wikipedia:Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]|issue=17|publisher=[[wikipedia:Imagine Media|Imagine Media]]|date=May 1996|pages=67–69</ref> In addition, the 2D animated cartoon-style graphics seen in games such as ''[[Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors]]'' and ''[[X-Men: Children of the Atom]]'' proved popular, leading Capcom to adopt it as a signature style and use it in more games.<ref name="NGen17"/>

''[[Breath of Fire]]'', Capcom's first major foray into the RPG genre, was released in 1994 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
  
   
  +
In 1994, Capcom adapted its ''[[Street Fighter (series)|Street Fighter]]'' series of fighting games into [[w:c:streetfighter:Street Fighter (1994 film)|a film of the same name]]. While commercially successful, it was critically panned. [[w:c:residentevil:Resident Evil (film)|A 2002 adaptation of its ''Resident Evil'']] series faced similar criticism but was also successful in theaters. The company sees films as a way to build sales for its video games.<ref name="Gaudiosi">Gaudiosi, John. "Capcom Seeks More Playtime in HWood." Hollywood Reporter 397 (2006): 4,4,29.

In the first few years after its establishment, the Japanese branch of Capcom had three development groups referred to as "Planning Rooms", led by [[Tokuro Fujiwara]], Takashi Nishiyama and [[Yoshiki Okamoto]], respectively.<ref>cite journal |journal=Gameside |script-title=ja:ゲーム業界を"爆発"させた"ストライダー"の父 「四井浩一」 　ディスコグラフィー |date=February 2009 |issue=16 |language=Japanese |publisher=Micro Magazine</ref><ref>cite video game |title=[[Strider (classic version)|Strider Hiryū]] |developer=Capcom Co., Ltd |publisher=Capcom Co., Ltd. |date=March 7, 1989 |scene=staff credits</ref> Later, games developed internally used to be created by several numbered "Production Studios", each assigned to different games.<ref>http://psp.ign.com/articles/775/775450p1.html</ref><ref name="annualreport2009" /> Starting in 2002, the development process was reformed to better share technologies and expertise, and all of the individual studios were gradually restructured into bigger departments responsible for different tasks.<ref name="annualreport2009" /> While there are self-contained departments for the creation of arcade, pachinko and pachislo, online, and mobile games, the Consumer Games R&D Division instead is an amalgamation of subsections in charge of various game development stages.<ref name="annualreport2009" /><ref>http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/interview/2008/</ref><ref name="annualreport2007">http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/data/pdf/2007annual/Annual2007e.pdf</ref>

==Criticism and controversy==
  +
In 2012, Capcom was criticized for controversial sales tactics, such as having to pay for additional content which is already available within the game's files, most notably in ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken]]''. Capcom has defended the practice.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120404121921/http://www.gamespot.com/news/capcom-defends-on-disc-dlc-report-6369371</ref> The company has been criticized for other business decisions, such as not releasing certain games outside Japan (most notably the ''[[Sengoku Basara (series)|Sengoku BASARA]]'' series), abruptly cancelling anticipated projects (most notably ''[[Mega Man Legends 3]]''), and shutting down [[Clover Studio]]. In 2015, the company pulled the PlayStation 4 version of ''[[Ultra Street Fighter IV]]'' from the [[Capcom Pro Tour]] due to numerous technical issues and gameplay bugs.<ref>http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-05-28-capcom-pulls-ps4-version-of-ultra-street-fighter-4-from-its-own-tournament</ref> In 2016, Capcom released ''[[Street Fighter V]]'' with very limited single player content.

Capcom's original logo

Capcom Co., Ltd. (株式会社カプコン Kabushiki-gaisha Kapukon?) is a Japanese video game developer and publisher[1] known for creating numerous multi-million selling game franchises, including Street Fighter, Mega Man, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Onimusha, Ace Attorney, Monster Hunter, and Dead Rising, as well as licensed games based on crossovers, or properties such as Marvel or Disney. Established in 1979,[2] it has become an international enterprise with subsidiaries in North America, Europe, and East Asia.[3]

History

Capcom's predecessor, I.R.M Corporation, was founded on May 30, 1979[4] by Kenzo Tsujimoto. Tsujimoto was still president of Irem Corporation when he founded I.R.M. Tsujimoto worked concomitantly in both companies until leaving the former in 1983.

The original companies that spawned Capcom's Japanese branch were I.R.M as well as its subsidiary Japan Capsule Computers Co., Ltd., both of which were devoted to the manufacturing and distribution of electronic game machines.[2] The two companies underwent a name change to Sambi Co., Ltd. in September 1981,[2] while Capcom Co., Ltd. was first established on June 11, 1983 by Kenzo Tsujimoto,[4] for the purpose of taking over the internal sales department.[5]

In January 1989, the old affiliate company Capcom Co., Ltd. merged with Sambi Co., Ltd., resulting in the current Japanese branch.[2] The name Capcom is a clipped compound of "Capsule Computers", a term coined by the company to describe the arcade machines it solely manufactured in its early years, designed to set themselves apart from personal computers that were becoming widespread at that time.[6] The word capsule alludes to how Capcom likened its game software to "a capsule packed to the brim with gaming fun", as well as to the company's desire to protect its intellectual property with a hard outer shell, preventing illegal copies and inferior imitations.[6]

While Capcom's first product was the coin-operated Little League from July 1983, its first real video game, the arcade title Vulgus, was released in May 1984.[2] Beginning with a Nintendo Entertainment System port of 1942 published in December 1985, the company started to venture into the market of home console video games,[2] which became its main business segment a few years later.[7] Its division Capcom USA had a brief stint in the late 1980s as a video game publisher for the Commodore 64 and IBM PC DOS computers although the development of these arcade ports were handled by other companies. Capcom has to date created 15 multi-million-selling game series, the most successful of which is Resident Evil.[8]

Capcom has been noted as the last major publisher to be committed to 2D games, though this was not entirely by choice. The company's commitment to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as its platform of choice caused them to lag behind other leading publishers in developing 3D-capable arcade boards.[9] In addition, the 2D animated cartoon-style graphics seen in games such as Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors and X-Men: Children of the Atom proved popular, leading Capcom to adopt it as a signature style and use it in more games.[9]

In 1994, Capcom adapted its Street Fighter series of fighting games into a film of the same name. While commercially successful, it was critically panned. A 2002 adaptation of its Resident Evil series faced similar criticism but was also successful in theaters. The company sees films as a way to build sales for its video games.[10]

Capcom partnered with Nyu Media in 2011 to publish and distribute the Japanese independent (dōjin soft) games that Nyu localized into the English language.[11] The company works with the Polish localization company QLoc to port Capcom's games to other platforms,[12] notably examples are DmC: Devil May Cry's PC version and its PlayStation 4 and Xbox One remasters, Dragon's Dogma's PC version released in January 2016, and Dead Rising's version on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC released on September 13, 2016.

In August 27, 2014, Capcom filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Koei Tecmo Games at the Osaka District Court for 980 million yen in damage. Capcom claimed Koei Tecmo Games infringed a patent it obtained in 2002 regarding a play feature in video games.[13]

During their quarterly earnings call in August 2018, Capcom expressed an interest to explore the possibility of additional remakes and re-releases of their earlier IPs.[14][15]

On April 2nd, 2020, an employee had contracted the coronavirus (COVID-19) at Capcom's headquarters in Chuo-ku, Osaka. Capcom promised to work with health authorities to try and prevent any further spread.[16][17]

Corporate structure

Development studios

In the first few years after its establishment, the Japanese branch of Capcom had three development groups referred to as "Planning Rooms", led by Tokuro Fujiwara, Takashi Nishiyama and Yoshiki Okamoto, respectively.[18][19] Later, games developed internally used to be created by several numbered "Production Studios", each assigned to different games.[20][21] Starting in 2002, the development process was reformed to better share technologies and expertise, and all of the individual studios were gradually restructured into bigger departments responsible for different tasks.[21] While there are self-contained departments for the creation of arcade, pachinko and pachislo, online, and mobile games, the Consumer Games R&D Division instead is an amalgamation of subsections in charge of various game development stages.[21][22][23]

Capcom has three internal divisions to make games. Those are Consumer games division 1 with Resident Evil and Devil May Cry focusing on worldwide franchises, Consumer games division 2 with Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom and other online focused games and Consumer games division 3 with Ace Attorney, Monster Hunter and Sengoku Basara with more traditional IP.[24]

In addition to these internal teams, Capcom also commissions outside development studios to ensure a steady output of titles.[25][26] However, following poor sales of Dark Void and Bionic Commando, the company's management has decided to limit outsourcing to sequels and newer versions of installments in existing franchises, reserving the development of original titles for its in-house teams.[27] The production of games, budgets, and platforms supported are decided upon in development approval meetings, attended by the company management and the marketing, sales, and quality control departments.[21]

Branches and subsidiaries

Apart from the head office building and the R&D building of Capcom Co., Ltd., both located in Chūō-ku, Osaka,[3] the Japanese parent company also has a branch office in the Shinjuku Mitsui Building in Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku, Tokyo.[28] It also has the Ueno Facility, a branch office in Iga, Mie Prefecture.[3]

The international Capcom Group encompasses 15 subsidiaries in Japan, North America, Europe, and East Asia.[3][21] Affiliated companies include Koko Capcom Co., Ltd. in South Korea, Street Fighter Film, LLC in the United States, and Dellgamadas Co., Ltd.[21]

Game-related media

In addition to the development and publishing of home, online, mobile, arcade, pachinko, and pachislot games, the company publishes strategy guides,[2] maintains its own arcade centers in Japan known as Plaza Capcom, and licenses its franchise and character properties for use in tie-in products, movies, television series, and stage performances.[7]

Suleputer, an in-house marketing and music label established in cooperation with Sony Music Entertainment Intermedia in 1998, publishes CDs, DVDs, and other media based on Capcom's games.[29] An annual private media summit called Captivate, renamed from Gamers Day in 2008, is traditionally used as a platform for new game and business announcements.[30]

Criticism and controversy

In 2012, Capcom was criticized for controversial sales tactics, such as having to pay for additional content which is already available within the game's files, most notably in Street Fighter X Tekken. Capcom has defended the practice.[31] The company has been criticized for other business decisions, such as not releasing certain games outside Japan (most notably the Sengoku BASARA series), abruptly cancelling anticipated projects (most notably Mega Man Legends 3), and shutting down Clover Studio. In 2015, the company pulled the PlayStation 4 version of Ultra Street Fighter IV from the Capcom Pro Tour due to numerous technical issues and gameplay bugs.[32] In 2016, Capcom released Street Fighter V with very limited single player content. At launch, there were stability issues with the game's network that booted players mid-game even when they were not playing in an online mode.[33] Street Fighter V failed to meet its sales target of 2 million in March 2016.[34]
