  • It's a shame he's going to Crapcom.

  • Oh god...... what the hell is he thinking moving to Cashcon....
  • Konami is such a good company. Why move away?
  • Hmmm. . . wondering if he's gonna really be able to turn Capcom around or if he's throwing away a terrific job. I'm leaning toward the latter, sadly. . .
  • While Capcom definately needs some fresh leadership, if this guy is going to Capcom Europe, he probably won't be in a position to actually do anything. Capcom Japan is the place where all the actual decisions are made.
  • Hmm, interesting switch.
  • From one sinking ship to another.
  • This is like switching tickets from the Titanic to the Britannic. Capcom has a poisonous relationship with its own fan base lately which is only overshadowed by how badly Konami has treated their flagship titles lately. I still want to like both companies, but it has been really hard lately. As bad as most people felt about RE 6, SFXT and the debacle of Mega Man's anniversary I suppose it can only get better? Shoot me.
  • maybe capcom'll start to get better again :/   its a shame he left konami tho

  • Seems like Capcom's on the inside track to do some even more stellar work in the future.

  • Good, CapCom needs some new people to maybe help the franchise out. Lets just see what happens.

  • His (her?) name is "Neo"? Awesome.
