Final Fight XBLA? "We've discussed it, it's in the maybe column."

In the latest Bionic Commando Podcast Christian Svensson, VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development over at Capcom USA, was invited. In the podcast they discussed Okami for the Wii, as well as some of the Backbone XBLA projects. Here is a small excerpt from the conversation:

"Final Fight? On XBLA / PSN?"

"We've discussed it, it's in the maybe column. It's is something that we (Capcom USA) own, but it's coming in the shadow of Final Fight Streetwise, so it may need to rest a little longer before we do that."

"But those Beat-em-ups like Ninja Turtles did really well!"

"Yes those and a few others did really well, we're giving some thought to it. Not that I don't think the content isn't appropriate - I think it's very appropriate, we're being very cautious with our bets, and we're trying to see where we can add value."

"We listen very very carefully to discussions on our forums, so maybe post on Capcom-Unity's forums and show your support [...] in the coming months you'll be some pretty radical - I think Industry leading approaches to how we're creating our community. I can't say anything yet, but look for it in the coming months. Any more and my PR masters will get mad at me!"

You heard the man, go to the Capcom Unity Forums and voice your opinion!

They also discuss the rating for the upcoming Bionic Commando Rearmed - it's looking likely that it'll get an M!

"Master D's Head HAS to explode, it's not 8-bit pixels anymore. Therefore, yes, for 10 seconds of the game there is one over-the-top violent scene, and that's giving us an M rating!"
