It will be announced/revealed that Capcom has no plans to bring any games to the 3DS that people want.
Aaaaaaaah. But that's something else XD

Sure seems like it. It's funny considering that Tri probably sold about as much in the west as Lost Planet 2 did and yet here we are.
It's the same every year since it's inception. 1-2 reveals, bunch of trailers for existing titles. The fact that it's an embargoed event hypes it up though.
At this point, I only care about what Ono talked about at the future of the FG at Capcom panel, but it seems gaming journalism is too busy sloshing around in RE6 news.
That collaboration game between Capcom, Namco and Sega gets revealed today.
Nintendo is going to revive it, releasing 3G, it's what I'm thinking it'll happen now.
I think he's talking about the Capcom/Sega/Namco crossover game.

Jho took over the hype-bike and now we are left disappointed once again.
I didn't say it was in any way related to Captivate. But it's a new 3DS game, Capcom is involved, and it'll most likely be revealed in this weeks Famitsu in six to twelve hours.

If I'm reading that timer correctly, that's still a day and a half away - we won't be hearing anything about that until very very VERY early Thursday (EDT).

I remember reading it sold something like 500,000 copies in the west, and at least a million or two in Japan.

A week long embargo for this non-news? Yea, I don't get it either.
At least they're not as fucked up as Konami. Yet.

Western gamers have no problem doing the same thing over and over.
Western gamers love action games like devil may cry and god of war where you beat up big creatures.
Like many things at Capcom, Monster Hunter doesn't sell in the west because of ignorant design decisions at the fundamental level. Establish a strong introduction with a lot of action that lets you sample some of the higher level gear, put the armor tree with ingredients in game and easily accessible and make guns more dynamic. The aiming system should feel like a 3rd person shooter, not a budget tack on.
Much like Lost Planet 2, it seems like they spend a week designing game mechanics then spend 2 and a half years polishing the fuck out of an incomplete idea.

we've been trolled by Sony (Vita Heaven)
we've been trolled by EA (Gamechangers)
now, we've been trolled by Capcom
they don't really care anymore, do they?
What's really upsetting is that these game makers aren't making products that are interesting to their audience. It's no big wonder why their numbers of fans are dwindling.

Isn't embargo still over an hour away?
For people who bought Vanilla MvC3 CE Jill and Shuma-Gorath came with a DLC code.
UMvC3 promised access to these characters for free, and for PS3 I assume they just read the vanilla MvC3 data and unlocked it then.
But Vita UMvC3 owners (like me) were SOL until Capcom finally fixed it very recently.
Hopefully things will work out of the box 2nd time around.
embargo was up at 8am PST, which was 45 minutes ago

Now I guess only E3 and TGS are worth hyped. Or maybe Game Devs Conference.
Even teasers with countdown on flash websites doesn't deserve it (be prepared for a trading card game with the Capcom Sega Namco cross over...).

More like he said there'd be interesting news for Go Nintendo. Which, y'know, likes to report on anything and everything even tangentially Nintendo-related, good or bad. (And wound up on NeoGAF's banned sites list for some reason, probably related to the above.)

He worded it "There will be something that interests you, I think." So yeah, he never said in what kind of way it would interest Nintendo fans, lol.
when was the last time Capcom announced something at E3? They always announce stuff at Captivate.
Knowing how this day is going there wont be a Famitsu leak or Ill be disappointed with that game.
Maybe it's time to not consider yourself a fan anymore. From now on I'm just vaguely interested in the occasional good product Capcpom may or may not release.
Some people are too invested
I'm pretty sure that one will stay Japan exclusive, unless Capcom goes Tatsunoko vs Capcom way (although this isn't up to them, but then again Banpresto doesn't have a western branch)
Capcom obviously sees Captivate as Western Gamers event. They probably think that Nintendo isn't western gamer's thing and leave Nintendo games for Nintendo Direct (japanese edition, of course). AA5, MH4 and Banpresto cross thing will be detailed in upcoming Nintendo Direct, I suppose.
