Capcom
Capcom is the Osaka publisher behind Mega Man, Street Fighter and Resident Evil, three of the longest-running series in video games. Its early reputation was built on the Nintendo Entertainment System, where Mega Man in 1987 set a template the company reused for years: a hero who takes the powers of each boss he defeats, and a choice of which stage to play first.
About Capcom
Capcom is the Osaka publisher behind Mega Man, Street Fighter and Resident Evil, three of the longest-running series in video games. Its early reputation was built on the Nintendo Entertainment System, where Mega Man in 1987 set a template the company reused for years: a hero who takes the powers of each boss he defeats, and a choice of which stage to play first. Capcom's characters tend to be drawn for readability on low-resolution screens — bold outlines, few colours — which is why its 8-bit sprites still work well as apparel.
Mega Man's weapon-copying design became a Capcom trademark.
